How Many Horses Are There.

The prevalence of the horse disease.
which has so disastrously affected bust.
ness in this city and in other parts of
the country during the last two weeks,
makes 1t of some interest TO note how
vast is the capital invested in horses in
this country, which has been placed in
jeopardy by the epidemic. The mum.
Der of the horses in the country has
more than doubled since 1850, and is
estimated to have been 100000 in
February last. They are estimated to
have been worth $659,707, $40, the
average price of each animal being
1887. They are owned in the largest
numbers in New York. Texas, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Pennsylva-
nia-the great agricultural States of the
country. There are also in the United
States l,276,300 mules, valued at
SO, 242, 229. The gross value of the
horses and mules of the whole country
is S7S0,735,232, compared with $32l,-
562 693 In oxen and other cattle;
$500 40S, 9S3 in milch cows; SSS,77l,19T
in sheep. and 1913, 49, 2S in hogs. 1t
will be seen from these figures how Sc
rious an inroad would be made upon
the business of the country, if from any
cause we should be deprived of our
horses permanently or for any length of
time. 1t is a fact, in spite of the great
additions that are constantly making to
the means OF general locomotion, that
the demand for horses is rapidly grow
ing in AL parts of the world. The horse
is an indispensable agent in civilization.
Every one has been made to feel how
much discomfort as well as actual loss
is entailed upon the community by the
absence Of horses for few days from
their usual work, but it is too early yet
to ascertain the actual diminution of
number which will result from the dis
ease now raging. The number of horses
in the country has increased very rap
idly since the close of the war, and for
the past year or longer the price of
horsefiesh has been much reduced. IL
the result Of the epidemic shall be to
raise the value Of good horses for time,
some of the horsemen will not be sorry.
