Live Stock. 



The number of live stock in ISTortli Carolina could be greatly in- 

 creased to the advantage of every farmer in the State. We have not 

 nearly as much live stock as our farms require,- and the quality is very 

 inferior to that- which could be desired. Nevertheless, within the last 

 ten years the percentage of increase of live stock in North Carolina has 

 been greater than that of any of the thirty-eight states shown in the 

 following table. A glance at the table will show that the percentage of 

 increase of live stock in North Carolina in the last ten years has been 

 more than double that of New York, Iowa, Colorado, Pennsylvania, 

 Kansas, Texas, and West Virginia, and considerably more than that of 

 Missouria, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois. 



In 1913 North Carolina had 312,000 milch cows and 92,000 other 

 cattle. There were 181,000 sheep on the farms and 1,335,000 hogs.
