Live Stock Business.

The magnitude of Missouri's live
stock business is partly shown by the
receipts in 1916 Of cattle, calves, hogs.
sheep, horses and mules OF stock
yards in st. Louis, Kansas City and
st. Joseph, four in all, amounting to
16,442,209 head, worth, approximately,
$685., 1858, announces a bureau of
labor statistics bulletin. This aggre-
cation of quadrupeds consisted of 81
667,797 cattle, worth $294,223,7 60, at
an average of $50 a head; 376,750
calves, worth s9,418,75O, at an average
of $25 a head; S,626,345 hogs, worth
$172,526, 900, at an average Of 500 a
head; 3,342,O43 sheep, at So head,
worth $26,736,344, and 419,273 horses
and mules worth, at an average Of
$3.50 head, $62,S9O, 905.
Missouri's live stock industry in
crease in a year is demonstrated by
the four stock yards under considera-
ton in 1915 handled 14,51O,521 head
of live stock, the gain therefore be-
| ing 1915 head or 16 per cent.
While Missouri supplied some Of
the 16,442,209 heads. of live stock
every state west of the Mississippi
River and Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Kentucky Tennessee, Mississippi and
Alabama also contributed in proper
ton to the hauling distance.
That Kansas City has larger ag
gregated live stock receipts than st
Louis is shown by that 7,191,716 cat
tie, calves, hogs, sheep, horses and
mules handled in 1916 were worth
$270, 162,590, while the ST. Louis bust
ness was limited to 5,740,263 head
