170 HISTORY OF WAUPACA COUNTY $66,000; in 1916 there were 28,080, valued at $1,066,795, and 17,317 other cattle assessed at $335,719. Of other live stock in 1916: Horses, 11,996, valued at $1,157,916; swine, 8,748, $79,472; sheep and lambs, 2,099, $8,304. From the 1916 figures it is also evident that Bear Creek, Larrabee, Union and Little Wolf are the banner live stock towns. The details are as follows: No. and Value No. and Value Towns of Neat Cattle of Horses Bear Creek 3,201 $105,325 772 $71,370 Larrabee 3,072 93,900 729 80,395 Union 2,915 94,355 715 75,130 Little Wolf 3,157 93,880 768 73,795 About forty years ago the entire county was producing some 260,000 pounds of butter and 100,000 pounds of cheese, the prize towns being Lind, Royalton, Weyauwega and Waupaca. The figures for 1916 indi¬ cate that 2,888,212 pounds of butter were produced during that year by the fourteen creameries in operation; that 5,279,327 pounds of cheese were made by the thirty-nine factories devoted to that specialty, and that 10,780,000 pounds of condensed milk were turned out of the two Borden factories at New London and Manawa. The cheese factories are chiefly located in the towns of Larrabee, Dupont, Bear Creek, Aiat¬ teson and Union, while the largest creameries are at Waupaca, Weyau¬ wega, Clintonville and Marion. As to the comparative value of the dairy products, butter ranks first, with sales amounting to $826,000 for the year; cheese, second, $746,000, and condensed milk, third, $356,000. The number of cows contributory to the creameries is 15,565; to the cheese factories, 12,733, and to the milk condensing factories, 5,460. The assessed value of the different plants is as follows: Cheese fac¬ tories, $74,830; creameries, $59,385; milk condensing factories, $50,000. The comparison of property valuations in 1880 with those of 1916 is of marked significance, as an illustration of general progress. In the former year the property of the county was assessed as follows: Per¬ sonal, $778,472; real estate, $2,011,416; city and village lots, $825,693. Total valuation of all county property, $3,615,581. In 1916 the total had reached $30,243,952, distributed as follows: Personal (including bank stock), $5,671,829; real estate (lands), $18,- 819,448; lots, $5,752,675. The leading towns in the value of their lands and improvements are these: Bear Creek, $1,248,855; Lebanon, $1,197,420; Lind, $1,186,-
