The internal revenue department re-
ports that the amount of beer which paid
taxes in this country last year was 5SS, ,00O,-
900 gallons. Adding to this the amount
exported and evading the tax it brings the
total up to about 600,000O00 gallons This
makes the United States third in the list of
the reproducing countries of the world.
The number of breweries in this country
does not compare with those of other coun-
tries, the breweries here doing the work on
large scale, while they make two-thirds
as much beer Of the brewers of England,
their number is anly nnetenth as great
England makes more beer than any coun-
try in the world, her 81 900 breweries turn
ing out 990,000000 gallons yearly, while
with $4,000 breweries, makes 900, 100000
gallons yearly. Next comes the United
States, with 5000 breweries, making about
0O,000,000 per snnum. Next comes
France, which has 5000 breweries as
against 2,093 in Austria and Hungary,
though the quantity of beer brewed In
France is only l57,500,000 gallons as
against 2S0,0000OO brewed in Austria and
Hungary. BELGIUM has 1850 breweries,
which produced last year 2lO,35O, 900 gal
