farm horse in the United States was
$65.Ol, and Of a mule $685.; in 1898 the
average farm horse is worth only $6l ~,
and the mule $70.6S. Here Is depre'
citation of 1919 in horses and $4.S7 In
mules. Notwithstanding the fact that
there are 7OS, 662 more horses and 49,
more mules on the farms this year than
last, the total value Of the horses and
mules has deprecated more than twen-'
ty-five million dollars. This Is very
hard indeed on the farmers. Though
they have to feed more than seven
hundred thousand more horses and
mules than the year before, the stock
in the market is not worth as much as
it was the year before by more than
$25, 100000. That sum does not really
represent the loss, for the horses are
eating all the while, and source OF
continuous expense. Had this increase
In the number of horses been entirely OF
those that were we'll bred, the value OF
the farm horses would probably have
appreciated instead of decreased, aud
the books would have shown q profit
instead of q loss. A well-bred horse
costs no more in food, and attention
than common one, and he is very
much better. Investment. A horse OF
common breeding is sure to be a COM
mon and uuinteresting horse; but one
with u crossing of good strains of blood
is apt to be very interesting. In such
horse there are attractive possibilities,
similar to those that invest lottery
ticket with charm, Who cares to
watch the development of the spindle
legs ofa sucking colt when it Is well
known that the mature horse will only
be fit to draw cart? But what diff
ference when you look upon the awk'
ward youngster and recognize no
reason why it should not lower the
record of Salvador or Nancy Hanks!
Failing in such high deeds, either run
ner or trotter would be just as service
able in cart as the cold-bred colt for
whom there was never any high ambir
tion.',
The facts gathered by the statlsti-
clans, and the prospects for changed
motive power for transportation and
for farming, appear to indicate clearly
that in the future there will be less and
less profit in breeding other than from
good strains of equine blood.-Harper's
weekly.

THE VALUE OF HORSES.

The sooner the farmersin the United
States realize the fact that the ordinary
aud commonly bred horse is likely to
deteriorate in value year by year, the
better it will be for them. The use OF
cables to drag street cars has already
reduced the service performed by horses
in the cities, and the extension OF the
trollery system in the suburbs and the
perfection OF electric motors will relieve
many other thousands of horses from
such service. 1t has not been so very
long since nearly all the threshing was
done by horses; now only very small
percentage of even the threshing ma
chimes are worked by horsepower.
Practically all of the ploughing is now
done by horses; but a cheap and prac-
tical steam plough will he shown to visi-
tors to the worlds fair, and 1t is not
improbable that in ten years from now
quite a large percentage of ploughing
will be done without the aid OF horses.
The need in the cities and on the farms
for fewer horses will tend more and
more to reduce their market value.
Commonly bred horses will be the hrst
to deteriorate In price; indeed IL Is
doubtful whether finely bred horses
will suffer at all. There is no reason
why they should. The purposes foI
which they are used will mot be affected
by any Inventions revolntionizine
methods of transportation or lillage'
Even though we could fly In the all
with balloon entirely under CONTROL
a spin on the road tehind pair ol
trotters or a gallop aeros eountry
would give just rs much plesssse AZ
ever il gave. The horses who get ths
blue ribbons in the horse shows will
continue to be as valuable as ever, while
humber animals-those that dral
street cars aud ploughs-will be ies'
valuable year by year. :,
This decrease In value has ALREADY
been noted, so far Is farm animals ar
concerned. by the statislicians OF 'n'
United States Department OF Agricoi
ture. In 1892 the average yaiue Oh
