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

Colonized by Prance nt the close of tlio seventeenth century , the province of
Louisiana extended northward to the source of the M'tislsslppl ' and westward to the
Pacific ocean. 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

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

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-

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

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

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 ,

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

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.

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
