The enormous amount of farm products and llvu stock III 1896 Li shown by tlio following tablj : LIVI : STOCK. Animals. I Number. Value. The herdsmen of Kansas are favored by abundant pasturage , copious water and short winters. The gieat stock jard and packing houses of Kansas City , Kan. , have built up an enormous business. The packing houses employ a capital of over ? 10,000- 000 and have an nnnml output of between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000. There arc zinc nnd lead mines In Cherokee county , with twenty-three smelters at I'lttsburg , the second zinc producing city in the union. The export of thcso metals ex ceeds $1,000,000 a > car. The coal fields cover 17,000 bquaro miles. Kansas coal Is hi luminous , nearly free from sulphur , and has a value for smelling nnd gas making Gas wells are found in the coal country , atWjandotte , Port Bcott nnd Paola. In west ern Ka'nsas occur beds of brown lignite. There me deposits of magnesium limestone , which is sawed and planed with ordinary carpenters' tools and hardens with exposure. Gpsum quarries are also found , the stone being sometimes compact enough for build ing purposes. At Solomon City salt Is produced from salt wells. Beds of rock bait over 100 feet thick underly the central counties. The works nt Hutchlnson cun produce - duce 500 barrels dally from deposits of rock salt. Salt Is inado at other points. There aio extensive salt marshes , covered with a brilliant white incrustation of salt , for thou sands of acres.

Im 1803 Emperor Napokou sold Iho province to the United 3tatro , receiv ing $12,000,000 , and the United States government bound Itself to pay the Freuch spolia tion claims , amountliiR to $1,003,000. Louisiana was admitted as a state In 1812 , It has nearly 45,000 square miles of tcrrltoiy , containing some 28,001,000 acres Of this amount about 13,000,000 are of alluvial origin and the rest good uplands The geological formation of Louisiana foiblds the existence of mineral producta save aalt and sulphur , and the general low topography furnishes no water power for the wheels of manufactories. Louisiana must therefore re main for a long time as an agicultural ( stato. There are about 3,000,000 acies undei cultivation Upon thcso acres there were grown last jcar products valued at some 575- 000,000 , distributed as follows : Sugar , $33,000.000 , cotton , 650,000 baled , valuel at $ J1- 000,000 ; rlco , $3,000,000 ; fruits and vegetables , $ J,000,000 , corn , oats and ha > , ? 10,000,000 , oranges , $1,000,000 ; llvo stock nnd other pioducts , $3,000,000. The coast from New Orleans to Uaton Kongo along the Mississippi Is largely devoted to rlco ami sugar , vvhllo the upper country > lolds corn and cotton. The Etato produces ) early 20,000,000 buithels of corn and abundant crops of wheat , oats and potatoes. The cultivation of rlco has grown steadily within twenty years , displacing sugar In some sections. It varies from 60,000 to 120,000 pounds a year , There are 1,500 rlco plantations , with 50,000 poisons engaged , ami a capital of $9,000,000. Cotton Is ono of the great crops , covering moro than a third of the cultivated ground , and jleldlng annually nearly 550,000 balca. The cot ton seed business has of late attained great proportions.

The G. H Hammond Company erected the first pack- J house at South Omaha In ISSt and com- Bouth. Of this amount Louisiana possesses the lion's share. Millions of dollars have been recently Invested In these timber resources The greit timber wealth of this stale Is In Its Immense areas of long and short leafed pines nnd Its unparalleled forests of cjpress. The output of finished lumber exceeds 300,000,000 feet of finished stuff. An ofllclal estimate of the amount of pine standing In the state Is. Long leafed , 26- CSS.OOO.OOO feet ; short leafed , 21,025,000,000 feet. The population of Louisiana Is 1,223,000. Annual manufacture. ? amount to $57- SOG.713. The railroad mileage Is 2,067. There are 1,008 postolHces. The largest city Is New Orleans , with a population of 275,000. In commerce Louttlana has stood second only to Now York In her exports , with over $110000,000 In jearly value , $10,000,000 In Imports , and n coastwise and Interior trade of $250,000,000.

J Missouri In area has 69,115 square miles , or over 44,000,000 acres. It Is larger than any state east of or bordering upon the Mtoilsslppl , except the otate of Minnesota. The length of the btat-3 north and south Is 2S2 mllra ; its extreme width cast arid ucit Is 34 $ miles , and Its average width 335. Some hUa of the Immensity of this magnificent do main'may bj gained fiom the fact that the entlio statia oE Maine , Masaachuactts , Con necticut , New Hampshire , Veimont , llhodo Island and Delaware could be put down aide ay side within Its limits and still leave a margin of 900 fc uaro mllca. Missouri Is the third state In Iho union in the number of Its fanra and the third atato In the number of acrcj or Improved land , having over 17,000,000 acrca under culti vation Missouri ships nearly 50,000,000 pounds of poultry ever ) jcar , not being equaled by any state in the union It Is the fourth state In number of horses , and leads every state In the union lu the number of inukJ , producing lust jear l > 3G.Sfl * hordes and 351,599 mil Us.

Tlio O ark region bore away meat of the honors awarded to the exhibitors of horticultural products at tjio World's fair. The whole of southern Missouri at no distant day will ho one 'vast vlnejard , apple and peach orchard. Its river bottoms bear vvooda of the greatest commercial value. Its mines , many of them In their infancy , are reaching up Into the Ilrat place among the state ? . Nearly all that portion of the state IjIng south of the Missouri river Is heavily timbered. These immense forests embrace pines , poplars , ash , oaks of eighteen different kinds , hickories , walnut , linden , cottouwood , sweet , black and yellow gum , cyprcsa , sycamore , locust , elm , birch , tupelo and every kind of timber required In manufactories of woods During the past jear Missouri has not only supplied the wants of her people with timber , but exported 300,000,000 feet of lumber , in addition to millions of railroad tics and 40,000,000 feet of logs not manufactured Into lumber. Her forests must bo ajcn and examined before they can bo fully appreciated. GKDAT LHAI ) . IRON AND ZINC MttjRS. Missouri baa no great mountain ranges. The maximum difference of elevation Is 1,500 feet ; local relative differences are Icsi thai * 700 feet. ' Missouri produces more lead ore than any other state , except Colorado , and owing to the decreased output of silver In that ntato ( much of th'o lead accompanying that production ) , the prospect Is that MUoourl will soon bo the first state In the union lu the production of lead. It has a lead mine the St. Joe mlue' ' , at Benne Terre , In St. Krancola county which Is thought to be the largest producer In the world , the es timated dally production Icing In the neighborhood of 1,500 pigs. The mine gives tmplojmcnt to 1,000 men and supports a population of nearly 5,000 people. In zinc Missouri equals all of Ita sister states put together , nearly one- half of the yield of the country being credited to her mines. With the crude ore that Is exported Included , atatlstlca would show that Its producf la larger than that of all the other states combined. The Industry appears to bo In U Infancy , and promises to grow to Immense proportions. In addition to lead and zinc , Missouri has Iron , sil ver , copper , pyrites and glass sands , the latter lu grtat quantities mined and shipped from e veral counties and ustd by the plate Kla&s worKs at Crjstal City , Jefferson county. * The state possesses In great abundance clajs suitable ) for pottery , tiling , flio brick , rotorta , etc. Theno cla > a have a high reputation , and besides their use at home , have been shipped , manufactuied and crude , to all parts of the world. Missouri possesses building stones In great abundance , among them limestone , sand stone , granite , marble , and for ornamental purpose a Mexican onyx misceptlhlo of tin highest polish. It has building sands , gravels and llmo In Inexhaustible quantities , and valuable mineral waters of varied propeltl < t. In addition to these , Missouri hau thlrty-threo coal producing counties , which , In 1892 , jleldcd 3,017,000 tons , Missouri has over 14,000 business manufactures , with a paldup capital of $189,558- nic , with 143,139 employes , making finished goods of all kinds , amounting to $321,061,933 annually. Mlisourl has four cities which manufacture * largely St. I.oula , Kantian City , St. Joseph and Springfield besides a number of thrifty and progreaslvo minor cities , St. Louli ) , which I'jow tiati a population of 700,000 people , Is the third manufacturing city in the country. .Missouri ha.i 6,599 miles of railroads and several navigable rivers. Missouri eujoja tlio proud distinction of having the largest available public school mcnced operations early In 1SS3. These buildings , which \vere of flame , were soon found Inadequate to the rapidly Incionslns business nnd In 1S91 and ' 9J the entire plant was torn down and replaced by a brick structure , six stories In hclght.i. In U9I about one-half of the buildings were de- strojed by fire , but Immedlitely rebuilt In the most approved stjle , nnd the present plant Is considered by the trade to bo the model parking house of the country. Sup plied with nil the labor-saving devices of the most modern typo , nnd machinery of the latest pattern , their products are turned out quicker , chcipcr nnd bettci than those of other houses whose equip ments uro not up to the standard.

The State university , located at Columbia , stands at the head of the great educa tional system of the state. The university la divided Into the following departments : Academic , normal , agriculture and mechanics , law medicine , engineering , military science and tactics , mining and metallurgy. Uach one of these departments oc cupies a splendid building especially designed for the purpose It fulfills. Total number of students last year , 661. The state has three normal schools , lo cated at KlrksvlIIe , Warrenrburg and Cape Glrardeau. These Institutions were es tablished and equipped to prepare teachers for tha public schools. For the year 1S95 the total enrollment at the normals was 1,883. The government of Missouri Is conservative and careful , guarding with jealous care the credit of the state. The bonded debt of the atate , which was over $21,000,000 In 1S73 , has been reduced to $5,097,000 , and Mlssouil 3& per cent 5-20 bonds sell at a premium. Taxation Is very low , the state tax being but 25 cents on the $100 valua tion upon a low assessment. The earliest settlers of Minnesota were French fur traders , who trafficked with the Indian tribes as early as 1659. After Prance surrendered Its vast American empire to Great Diltaln an adventurous Connecticut man , Jonathan Carver , ascended the Mis sissippi to the falls. In 1766 , and remained there. The first United States ofllcer to visit Minnesota was Lieutenant Zcbulon M. Pike , In 1805 , who expelled Ilrltish traders and obtained from the Sioux Indians a grant of land Including the slto of Port Snclling and the Falls of St Anthony. As the white settlers advanced up the great river the domains of the savages wcro bought up by the government and the fragments of the tribes receded toward Dakota. The population rose from 4,000 In 1S49 to 172000 In I860 , nt which time there were 433,000 acres under cultivation. Minnesota was admitted as a state In 1S58. Its area Is 83,531 square miles , or 53,139,840 acres , of which about 3,600.000 Is water surface , the state ranking sixlh In the union In total area , and flrst In water acreage , The south three-quarters of the state consists of rolling prairies Interspersed with belts of hard wood timber , the Hlg Woods district northwest of the Twin Cities being the finest body of hard wood In the country. The north quarter of the state , bordering on Lake Superior , contains mineral ranges and dcnso forests of whlto pine. The state has produced In a jear 472000,000 feet of sawed lumber nnd 180,000,000 shingles. The Mississippi valley north of Minneapolis easily produces 180,000,000 feet of lumber annually. The Sllnne- apolls saw mills cut annually about 500,000,000 feet of lumber. Minnesota Is widely known as ono of .tho few states where the famous No. 1 hard wheat Is produced. While other crops have been Introduced with profit to diversify agriculture , wheat raising still has flrst placit Oats and corn are also produced. Two- thirds of the flax raised In the United States grows In Minnesota and the Dakotas. In no part of the world do potatoes and other roots grow In such abundance nnd ex cellence as In Minnesota. The production of wheat has exceeded 65,000,000 bushels In a jear ; of oats , 52,000.000 bushels ; of corn , 22,000,000 bushels ; barley , 9,000,000 bushels. This rich northwestern garden Is prolific also In flax seed , buckwheat , rjo and many varlntlpa nf fruits. Minnesota has 110,470 farms. The live stock Industry has grown to Immense pro portions Number of horses , 310,000 ; cattle , 771,000 ; sheep , 275,000 ; swine. 410- 000. The wool Industry Is very largo. The dairy product has more than doubled during the last ten years. In value It nearly equals Iho wheat crop of the state. A dairy college has been made a department In the State university , the flrst school of the kind over established. IMno forcats constltuto ono of the main sources of wealth. The hard wood district covers an aica 300 miles lout ? and twenty miles wide , The lumbering operations of the state are enormous and wood-working factories are scattered over the elate where- over water power can bo utilized.
