Value of American Farms.
The census bureau has issued a
bulletin giving the condition of ag
riculture in the United States for
1900. It shows that there were at
that time 6,739,667 farms in the en
tire country, which were valued at
$16,674,694,247. Of this amount
,660,198,191, or over 21 per cent,
represented the value of buildings,
and $13,114,492,066, or over 78 per
cent, represents the value of lands
and improvements other than build
ings. The value of farm implements
and machinery was $761,261,660.
and of live stock $3,078,060,041.
These values, added to the value of
the farms, gives a total value of
farm property amounting to $20,-
