These figures will repay careful ex-
animation. The wise man will draw
important lessons from them. figures
are proverbially truthful.
With the exception of swine, the live
stock in the several States bears some
prC portion to the population. The great
disparity in the number of horses, OHIO
having nearly As many as Kentucky and
Tennessee together, and more than four
times as many as Georgia, is partially
explained by the number OF mules,
largely used as a substitute for horses in
all the States except Ohio. These AMI
mails in the aggregate, horses, asses and
mules, number as follows:

The millions of sheep in Ohio, consti-
tute her the largest wool growing State
in the Union. After Indiana, Missouri
and Illinois, these are the four most
s,oinisl States, our own Overtaking prece-
dence, tho the numbers, IN each of them,
are not very unequal As very consid-
ersble item in the wealth of the several
States, the comparative value of the live
stock in each, will attract attention. Es.
pecially will the farmers look at it.
Though not the largest grain growing
States, these all produce very .argely.
As in meat, so in bread, however Ohio is
greatly ahead of the other three. She
produces almost as much wheat, and
almost twice as much oats as all the 9TH
ers. By the census of 1910, Tennessee
was the largest grain growing State in
the Union. The crop was nearly the
same that it is now. Since that time
the crop, both of Kentucky and Ohio, has
heavily increased. Rye is grown more
largely in Kentucky than in the other
three States combined The whole grain
crop, wheat rye, corn and oats swells to
immense proportions.

Witn this exhibit Of beasts OF burden
animals for slsus shter, bread slufis abo
forage, we can readily see why the reb
els were 30 anxious 70 retain hold upor
tennessee aud Kentucky, and compre'
hend the extent OF their loss in being
driven out Of these States. Remember
ing, too, that Pennsylvania, Indiana anC
Illinois, are the equals, and in some re
spects the superiors, even Of OaiO, in thl
abundance of their animal and grain pro
ducts, we readily perceive how easy 1
is for the Government to furnish an,
supply its armies.
In the articles Of rice, cotton, peas an,
beans, sweet potatoes, cane sugar an
molasses, Georgia takes the precedenc
due TO ber softer climate. In Irish pota
toes, barley, buckwheSt hay, clover seed
hops, fax seed, tree sugar and molassei
Ohio goes far ahead, for a correspondin
climatic reason. AS an ins anoe showin
how nature sometimes compeusates 70
her supposed short-coming and inconyen
fences, we may cite the cotton crop q
Georgia and the hay crop of OHIO. III
latter state produces no cotton, lh
former com 9sratively little hay. Set th
hay crop Of oaIo at $50 90 per tuI
and tho cotton crop of Georgia a. $40 q
per bale Of 400 pounds, are not very un
equal. the former amounting 20 the SUI
