WORDS OF PRAISE. • NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 20—(Special to Dally Democrat) —The United Presa today received from its clients Ir all Parts of the United States, hundreds of messages, congratulating them because of she achievement of Henry Wood, U. P. correspondent in Rome, in beating all other correspondents by at least eight hours the news of the Pope's death. This is declared to be credited to American newspaper methods. Wood is an American and he competed with Italians. While all others waited for an official announcement, Woods gave the news as soon as he was absolutely certain that death had come.. He outdistanced the rigid censorship of the Italian government which is always enforced Immediately upon the death of the Pope and which came right on the heels of Wood’s two brief messages addressed to New York. 1 ■ w - '■ ■ — - - LOSS IS GREAT. Diseases caused the swine breeders of Indiana to lose 535,800 hogs, valued at $5,519,000 last year, according to a teport which has just boon issued by the Department of Agriculture. This is an average death rate of 1135 per 1,000 head.. During the year 1913 the ratio was 150 per 1,000 head, and a total of 556,400 head were lost. The latest census reports, which are dated January 1, 1914, show that there are 3,969,000 head of hogs in Indiana and they are valued at $40,881,000 or $10.30 per head. Tiie farmers of the entire nation last year lost 7,004,800 head of hogs from disease. Their total value was $75,000,000 and the death rate 119 per 1,000. There are 854,000 horses on the farms of this State and they are valued at $99,064,000. There are only seven States in the Union that have more horses than Indiana. In 1910 the number of horses in this State was 814,000 and had an aggregate vale of $99,308,000.
