RELIGIOUS sECTs GROWING.
Episcopal Church Leads, but Nearly
All Show Gains,

Nearly all religious sects, as their fig
ures of growth for last year are announc-
ed, show larger percentage of increase
than in previous years, says the New
York Herald. In several denominations
the ratio of growth exceeds the usual
ratio of increase in the population. This
is notably the case in the Episcopal
church, which last year gained 3 per
cent on it's membership of the previous
year. while the population growth is es-
timated at about 2 per cent. The Epis-
copal church has added 25,015 to it's SO7,-
351.
In the Presbyterian church the in
crease in membership last year was at
the rate of 215 per cent, the gain in
members being 27 ,431 and the total num-
her 1904 ,9OS. Last years gain was
2 is per cent. The Southern Presbyte-
rian church, smaller body than the
Northern, having but 239,8SS members,
gained 2 per cent last year.
The ratio of gain by the Methodist
membership is not SO large as in the 9th
er bodies named, but was / 40 per cent,
or almost as much as the estimated ratio
Of population growth. For the previous
year the Methodist ratio was only l per
cent. The body has now 1904, 735 mem
bers, of whom about 100000 are connect
ed with foreign conferences and missions.
It is stated in the Presbyterian hand
book for 1905 that the religions OF the
world have 1, 43OOOO,OOO adherents, di-
vided as follows: Christianity, Al, OSO,-
1853; Confucianism, 25G, 100000; Hindu
ism, 190,000000; Mohammedanism, l76,-

OUR GREATEST FARM INDUSTRY.
Live Stock Business Leads Any Other
by More than S ,OOO, 100000.

Live Stock Business Leads Any Other
by More than S 1 ,OOO, 100000.
It may be news to the average small
farmer that the live stock farms of the
United States, considering all the farm
property in and on the farms, exceeds
In value any other one class of farm
Investment by more than 81 ,O00, 100000
One billion in itself is a phrase of ire
mendous import. When it is considered
as mere excess of figures marking the
size of one farming industry over an
other, the reader begins to appreciate
just what the farming industry i'll this
country may mean.
Hay and grain are tremendous fac
tors ia the welfare of the country. TAX
ing the census returns of 1900 as 4 con-
sentative and accurate basis for COM
parsons, the value of the farm property
invested in the 1,319,S56 hay and grain
farms of the United States was $6379,-
S,543. But on the other hand the l.
564, ia farms devoted to live stock show
ed total valuation of 81, sos, 2S4,273,
ranking the one great classification by
81 ,125, 1876, 730, and exceeding the valua-
ton of liking cotton and it's lands by
more than $6,OOO,O00,O00. And to lend
still greater emphasis to these figures
for live stock in the United States, the
hay and grain lands average $30.34 to
the acre, the live stock farms show
S21.14, and the cotton lands S12.36 to tho
acre. The average stock farm had 226.9
acres, the hay and grain farm had 1898
acres, and the cotton farm had S3.6
acres. Aside from the specific classi-
6cations mentioned above, only the dairy
farm interests of the country passed the
billion mark in valuation. exceeding the
cotton industry by $5OO,O0OO00.
In strict sense the dairy interests
of the country belong to the live stock
totals of the United States. If these
farms and valuations should be taken to-
gether their totals would show 1922, 1872
farms, valued at SO, 1913, 751 $50, and pro-
ducing in the year of 1899 Il total of ST.
O39 ,OS9, 592,, of which the strictly live
stock farms produced the overwhelming
proportion of 81 ,654, 135, 912. Compared
to this strictly live stock production for
that year, the hay and grain farms of the
country fell short of it by $40, 700, 900.
