The facts brought out in the fol-
lowing remarks concerning the to-
tai valuation Of products ara wor-
thy of the closest attention, and we
give them in full:
1'The total valuation for the State
Of the live stock and products of
live stock, and the field, garden and
forage products, for 1876, was $685.
967 ,04l 81. The valuation of live
stock was $50. ISL ,720.05, or 1929
The valHation of the field crops and
garden products was $45, 785, 3l2.S6,
or 41.71 per cent of the total valua-
ton. or this the forage crops, cen.
sisting of corn, oats, rye and hay,
amounted to SIC, 300, 22l.07, or 28.03
per cent OF the total valuation. The
valuation Of the field and garden
products, less the forage crops, was
SIS, S79, O9l.79, or 1857 per cent Of
the total valuation. The combined
valuation Of the live stock, live
stock products and forage products
was ST., 087, 950l2, or 1922 per
cent of the total valuation. The
valuation of the wheat crop was
$12, 4I3, 76089, or 1898 per cent of
the total valuation. The valuation
Of the corn crop was 9,2I7, 1892 "a,
or 20.02 per cent of the valuation.
The combined valuation of the
wheat and corn products was $3l,-
6Sl ,113.13, or 1926 per cent of the
total valuation. OF the field crop
and garden products, the valuation
Of tEe farm products, including
grain and fapa0o amnuCfad k0 &d6
5Sl 1868; garden products, $203,-
3S6.47. Of the live stock and pro-
ducts of live stock, the valuation of
the farm animals was $S9,6SS,671 /;
OF animals slaughtered or sold for
slaughter. $8,O82, $50; of dairy pro-
ducts, $1,S69, 29472; of poultry,
$4?3. 203.O8; of wool, $l38, 38O.25.
1t will be observed that in this val
Uation the products of orchards,
small gardens, vineyards, apiaries,
nurseries, wines, manufactures and
improvements were not included.
The increase in the product of
cheese from March 1st, 1876, to
March LIST, 1877, over the preceding
twelve months, was 800. 2S2 pounds;
of butter, 1,887,73S pounds; of
wool, A. 800 pounds. It will prob
ably be surprising to many to learn
that the valuation of the live stock
and products of live stock exceed
the total valuation Of all the field
and garden products by ass per
cent. IL the valuation Of the for
age product, which is directly al
lied with the live stock interest, lie
deducted from the total field pro-
duct, the valuation of the aggregate
live stock and contributing products
will exceed all field and garden pro-
ducts, less the forage, by 60.65 per
cent. The amount of the excess of
valuation of the sole live stock and
live stock products over the wheat
product was $S7, 767, 948 16, or 80 Sc
per cent; over the corn product,
$50, 964, 1861, or over 1927 per
cent; over the combined wheat and
corn product, SIS, 55O,615.92, or
1884 per cent. This exhibit shows
clearly that of all our productive
interests, stock raising predomi-
nates, and yields larger revenue
than all others combined, with the
possible exception of mining indus
tries. Under this latter head may
be designated coal, lead, zinc, gyp-
sum, Ochre, friedrich, clay, cement,
etc."
ANY man who isn't preuder of
Kansas than he was last year ought
to emigrate. The State is growing
just as rapidly as it should, and
each year gives il q breadth and
strength that will soon place it in
the lead of the agricultural States of
the Union.
