REPORT ON CONDITION
 SHOWS 1913 WAS BAD

Washington Losses of swine from disease in 1912. according to a bulle- tin issued today, were unusually neavy. Deius 11O.1 per thousand as compared with ss.2 SSe previous year and 549 the average per thousand of the past ten years. The loss Of 1i01 per thousand. if applied to the estimated number and value of hogs pn January l. would indicate total loss of approximately 6IS6,000 head valued at s9.S6 per head or total of $66 .4I7, ,000 EH
 Probably 90 per cent of these loss es is due to hog cholera. The states in which the loss in this year were the heaviest were Missouri. 175 per 1000. Florida. l65. Iowa, I60, Arlzan- sas 1se Mississippi i54. Indiana 150, Illinois 140. Kansas f20 and Nebras- ka, Alabama and Louisiana 110. Re ferring to the important hog states there was a falling off in losses as compared with the preceding year. In Illinois of 75 per 100, Kansas F, and Oklahoma 64, but an increase in Ohio of l6 per 600, Indiana g, Iowe g, Missouri IS, Nebraska 50. Geor. eia 75. Kentucky 9. Tennessee 29, Al abama % Mississippi @. Louisania 10. Arkansas %. North Carolina IA, Minnesota g and Texas II, while in Wisconsin the loss is the same as last year. The condition as 10 health fullness of hogs on April 1, 1913, was gwen as 91.4 per cent of normal which compares with S9.9 per cent, given a year ago and 94.S per cent, the average of the past ten years. The number Of breeding sows in the United States on April ' is estimated 10 be about 99 per cent Of the num- Der held a year ago. Fand 90 per cent Of number held two years ago.
 Losses of cattle from disease dur ing the past year are estimated 10 be 20.5 per cent 1000 head, which compares with 2I.6 similarly estimat- ed last year and 2o.S the ten year ay- craze of such losses. Losses from exposure are estimated to be 14.1 per cent per 1000 which compares with 2f5 similarly estimated last year, and 17.5 the ten-year average of such losses. The total losses per 1000 from both diseases and exposure if applied 10 the estimated number and value of cattle on Jan. 1. would indi- cate loss of about 1 ,95S 600 at S33.s sI2 peri head. total Of s64. .7S3. .000l The condition as 10 healthfulness of cattle soRs April 1. 1913, was given as as.a per cent of normal which com pares with 91.5 estimated a year ago. and s36 the average for ten years.
 Losses of sheep from disease dur fine the Rast year are estimated t0 be about 24.s per 1000. which compared with 26.5 similarly estimated a year ago and 25.5 the ten year average Of such losses
 i Losses from exposure are estimated to be 2i.1 per 900 which compares with 466 similarly estimated a year ago. and 35.s the 10-year average The total losses per 1000 from both i disease and exposure if applied te the approximate number and values on Jan. 1. would indicate a loss oi about ? 550, ,000 head at $S-g4- a tota of S10.0S2,000. The condition as tc healthfuiness of sheep on April 1 oi last year was given as s6-0 per cent 1 of normal. which compares with 92.t i similarly estimated a year ago anc 94.I the l0-year. average.
 Losses Of farm horses and mulei from disease during the year are esti mated to be about 22.5 per 1000 whicl l compares with 21.0 similarly estima ted a year ago. 1T the estimated loss of z2.e per 1000 be applied to the uumbers and values of horses ana
 mules on farms January l. it would indlcste 8 total loss of approximately 5s4 900 head at s11.15 per head. or { total of s6S.s17. 900. The condition
 as to hsaithfulness of horses and o
 mules on April ], 1913. is estimated
