LIVE STOCK LOSSES DECREASE.
Less Than Ten-Year Average For
! Year Ending April 1. ..r

Washington, April 15.-Losses of
live stock from disease and exposure
during the past year were moderately
smaller than the ten-year average of
such losses, and the condition as to
health and flesh Of animals on April
was slightly better than average, ac-i
cording to estimates based upon re-
ports of agents and reporters Of the
bureau of'crop estimates, United States
department of Agriculture.
The epidemic Of hog cholera seems
to be on the wane; for the total losses
Of hogs from disease last year is: esti-
mated at 6.6 per cent of the total sup
Iply, as compared with about 10 per
cent year ago. 11.9 per cent two years
ago, 11.O per cent three years ago. SO
lper cent four years ago, AZ per cent
Eve years ago. and As per cent six
years ago. The development and de-
cline Of. the epidemic may be observed
from these figures. During the past
year losses still amounted to or ex-
}ceeded 10 per cent Of the supply In
Ohio, Indiana, Arkansas and Florida
One important reason for smaller
losses Of live stock from exposure is
1 the increasing practice on the ranges
| Of feeding hay, generally alfalfa, to the
sheep and cattle, when the winter Is
severe and grazing difficult Stock is
thus kept in better condition. and
losses from exposure become less.
