Why Farmers Buy Peschercn StaIlioax

During these hard times, when
nearly every farm product is SO low
in price that it hardly seems worth
raising, we see many of ouT most in
telligent and progressive farmers, who
have not hitherto been Interested in
horse breeding, buying finely bred high
priced Percheron stations. This to
many is source OF astonshment,
but is the result Of observation, that
large, welcomed, active horses always
have been. and necessarily must con
tinue to be. in active demand at large
prices on account of the scarcity in
the United States of suitable stations
for their production, all such having to
be imported. The yearly increasing
demand for such stations is the best
evidence that such investments are
profitable. And to this fact is due the
development. of large importing and
breeding establishments. notably among
which and largely exceeding all others
is that of Mr.. n. w. Dunham's,
"Oaklawn Farm" at Wayne, Illinois.
