During recent years there has been
considerable discussion among archi-

the dome and many public buildings
have been constructed without them.
The new Missouri statehouse must
have a dome, and any competitor for
design who failed to provide for one
will be left out in the cold.

ment, every section of the state Of
fering first.class opportunities for the
man who desires to engage in this
lucrative business, either exclusively
or as a side line. There seems to be
no danger in overproduction in the
poultry business, as the demand is al
ways good and the prices are much
higher than when the production was
only one.half OF that at present.

account being taken of the thousands
which were driven on foot to the sew
eral large packing centers, the ship
ments made by boat or local consump-
ton of these animals. A conservative
estimate of these three items will add
100000 head to the total Of the state,
in question up to S,0G0,729 head, with
total valuation of $177,374,420.
While it has often been claimed
that the increase in the number of au-
tomobiles would have a tendency to
lower the prices on horses and mules,
for the number of autos in use in the
state have increased from approx
mately 1850 in 1909 to 1887 in 1911,
while during the same period the val
ne of horses and mules increased
from $40 to $125 per head. The av-
erage price per head on cattle and
sheep was trifie higher in 1911 than
in 1910, while hogs showed slight
decrease.
Below is given the five leading

Jefferson City--According to ad.
vance information from the 1912 Red
Book, on the poultry industry of Mis-
souri, for 1911, given out by Commits
sioner Austin w, Biggs, of the State
Bureau of Labor Statistics, this state
not only leads every state in the
Union in the value of the poultry pro-
duction, but exceeded its own record
for any previous year.
THAT the poultry industry of Mis-
souri," says Commissioner Biggs. lis
a potent factor in keeping the state
in the front. rank of the common
wealths, is shown by the fact that last
year the farmers shipped to market
eggs, poultry and feathers TO the value
OF 52S,S1S,145 Added to this is the
estimated value of these commodities
consumed locally, which is placed at
s22,000O0O, bringing the total valua.
ton for the year up TO S50,S1S,145.
When 1t is remembered that the three
and one-half million citizens of the
state were first supplied with these
products before a dollars worth was
shipped it will be seen that the esti-
mate of S22,OOO,000 worth for local
consumption is very conservative.
From the actual shipment figures
we find that there were S2,060,70
pounds of live poultry, valued at
$s,206070; dressed poultry, 39,573.073
pounds, valued at $4,946.634; l01 ,417,-
700 dozen eggs, worth $15,212, 655, and
1,131,965 pounds of feathers, worth
S452,7S6.
Counting the actual shipments
only, the Missouri hen laid enough
eggs in 1911 to give every man, wom-
an and child in the United States
nearly ID eggs, while every resident
of the United States, were the distri-
button made equally, would be emit
