GREAT LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY.
Value o. Animals in the United States
Is in the Billions.

Very few people have any idea OF
the magnitude OF the live stock in
dIstry OF the United States. II shown,
by Official government count. that the
horses. mules, cattle, hogs. sheep and
goats in the United States number
more than 220.O000 900 head. and that
their value is. according 10 the same
authority. more than $4,000 100000
(see twelfth census OF the United
States). the figures alone would have
very little attraction or meaning to
the majority OF readers. But when
told. in addition thereto. that these
animals would n axe a solid column OF
more than eighty-nine abreast reach
ing from San Francisco 10 Boston, or.
If placed in single file. solid process
sion that would reach nearly ten
times around the earth; and. further.
that their value exceeds the total com
bined value of all The corn, wheat and
other cereals, potatoes, hay, cotton.
sugar. mOlasses, tobacco. lumber,
wool. coal. petroleum. silver gold and
precious stones. iron, copper. lead
zinc and other metals produced annu.
ally in the whole country, then per
haps some adequate conception may
be formed concerning the magnitude
and importance OF the live stock in
dustry OF the United States.-Chicagp

REFLECTIONS.

The ether night while lying half asleep
thought l heard the boy that owned
me say:
81 hate 20 take old Tatters out because
saw the dog team 90 by here to-day"
And then / fell asleep again and dreamed
Oi awful things that any dog could know,
And when next day / saw a throng Of boys
About a team and heard lot OF noise
/ rushed away as hard as | could GO.
j know the fellows chased me, and ran
And doubled back and forth till all worn
out
went down on the pier TO rest,
When pretty soon | heard an awful
shout
And looked around to see bsbys shoe
Go floating by the spot where l was
And then barSed, and, jumping up, could
not refrain
Prom plunging in--when came mp again
/ held her by some fluffy thing around
her waist.
So that's the reason why do not fear
The dog team now-my license you can
Upon my collar.plate, and amt IL queer
That everybody thinks 80 much OF me.
Foi am staying at that big house on the
hill.
And all have to do il just 10 curl
Myself up on rug. or rOmp and play,
While when folks 8me / hear lady say:
That's the dog that saved my little girl
Yet, how / miss the boys and all the fun
We used 10 have up IN that alley DIM
Aud yesterday when we were ont 10 drive
saw them going down the dock to have
swim.
The driver held me so could not go,
Yet, while | barked at them in glad sur.

That l still loved him. As they passed
