Breeders say that any country that
has been able to raise the cattle, hog
and other live stock that America has
raised proves to the world that it

Gus country. When the stock market
was being established in South st.
Paul, j.. j. Hill made the statement
st. Paul would handle more cars of
live stock than Minneapolis did of
grain, and at the rate Of live stock
raising in this territory that state
ment will undoubtedly come true.
