WILL HORSES GO Up?
SOME WHO OUGHT TO KNOW MAKE
ANSWER IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

The Decreased Demand Has Killed the
Breeding Business, and as Trucks, Car
riaEes, Etc, Can't Re Electrically Pro-
PEELED the Supply VIII Soon Be Too Small.
1t is tho judgment of good many
who have made study Of the matter
that the man who has horses to sell at
the beginning Of the next century will
be very lucky fellow.
For, although it has been ruinous
thing to have much money invested in
equine flesh of late, there is every rea-
son, say the horse sharps, to believe that
much higher prices are in sight AL
ready, said one Of the most extensive
dealers in the country in a recent con-
versation with the writer, an upward
tendency has begun to manifest itself,
and although prices are not yet at all
good there has been an advance in the

big cities of 10 or / > per cent over the
figures that were realized a year ago.
Probably this advance has not been felt
as yet by many breeders of horses, and
indeed there arc few breeders left now,
but those still i'll the business will be-
gin to hear the good news pretty soon,
and the increase Of prices will be con-
tinuous for some years to come.
When the trOlleys and the cables
took possession of the street railways, -
said this dealer, almost all demand
for horses of any but the fancy types
disappeared. What little demand was
left was fully supplied by the animals
discarded by the railroads. If there had
been no other source of supply, there
would probably have been no more de-
cline in prices than was inevitable be-
cause of the general depression, but the
breeders had large numbers Of horses on
hand and were generally in such
financial condition as rendered it i'm
perative that they should realize with
out delay. Consequently the inflow of
horses at the big cities, where the chief
markets are located was in nowise di-
unfinished, and the result was tremen-
dous oversupply.
In the early part Of 1894 the ruling
prices in New York, Boston, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
elsewhere were so low as almost to
make sellers weep, and many breeders
went bankrupt. [ myself saw scores of
horses sold for $50 and $50 apiece that
a few years before would have been
worth $500 and $500 each, while we'll
worn horses that still had considerable
service in them would fetch not one
cent more than their carcasses were
worth to be worked up into such ma
terials as may be produced from de-
.funct equines. In New York the prices
of such horses ranged from So to 81 q
head, and nowhere else were they much
better. In many places, where there are
no facilities for the utilization of horses
carcasses, Wornout animals were good
for nothing but to consume provender,
and consequently thousands upon thou
sands were killed simply to get rid of
them.
AT the same time breeders all over
the country decided to get out of the
business. and in order TO do this rushed
their horses to the market with all pos
sible speed, being fully prepared TO dis

they could get, no matter how great the
sacrifice. This of course congested the
market still further, and prices went
down, down, down. At present it is
safe to say that fully nine-tenths of
those who bred horses five or six years
ago have abandoned the business en-
tirely. This may not be true with regard
to the breeding of trotting stock, al
though largo number of these have
also turned their attention to other
lines, but it is more than true Of the
breeders of every other sort Of horse. If
such general revolution in this indus
Try had taken place few years ago, the |
demand would have outrun the supply |
long before this, and prices would al |

| fluid which has been set TO hauling the
street cars Of America can be utilized
| for the propulsion of ordinary vehicles
over ordinary roads and payements. All
| the businesses I have indicated Will
| have to be continued, however, and
| horses must be had TO carry them
on. The demand Will be less than it
used to be, of course, but as the supply
will be practically nonexistent it Is
perfectly clear to me that the latter
will exceed the former, and that prices
| must go up. I think Is Is safe TO assert
that by 1900 horses will bring exceed
ingiy high figures, for by that time the
present working stock Of the country
will be practically worn out. In fact, I
believe the United States will be ut
terly unable to furnish its own horses
five years from now.
Since talking with this man I have
heard the matter discussed by number
of others as conversant as he is with
the situation, and the general sentiment
seems to be that his view Of the future
Of the horse business is quite correct.
Down to the present, however, although
there has been slight advance Of prices
as to certain grades, mentioned at the
beginning Of this article, the business
is still stagnant, and half worn horses
are being killed for their hide, etc., in
great numbers in oil the large cities. It
is very common thing to see little
tug in the harbor of New York putting
its way toward the ocean towing big
garbage scow large part of whose load
consists of the carcasses of discarded
horses which a few years ago would
have sold readily at from 500 to $50 a
head and would have been used for the
hauling of peddlers' wagons, the deliy
cry wagons Of the smaller groceries,
laundries, ETC., instead of being sent to
dreary Barren island, there to be con-
verified into green hides, soap fat, fer
tilizing phosphate, plasterers' hair, pig
ments, raw material for buttons and
other articles of bore. There have been
stories from the west Of surplus horses
being shot down upon the prairies of
extensive breeding ranches and left
there to rot. From Indiana and other
central western states it has been tele-
graphed that horseflesh has been used
for food in quantities because Of its ex-
ceeding cheapness. Whether these things
are still going on is not known to the
writer, but if the views that have here
been quoted are correct the slaughter
of horses still fit for light work, simply
to get rid Of them, will soon stop, and
it will not be very long that any horse
not wholly decrepit will be in danger
of being turned over to the bone boilers.
Quite interesting, in view of the gen
eral situation, are the facts with regard
to horses Of trotting blood Of the better
grade and especially those which have
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-05-16

| made records upon the track Prices for
such animals, particularly the latter,
have been and are very satisfactory.
There are two causes for this, one being
| the apparent fact that the season Of 1895
is to be remarkably good one, so far
as trOtting contests go, and the other
the fact that American gentlemen driv-
ers and coaching men have tried the
imported hackney horses and have found
them wanting It will not be very long
before the place which it was believed
had been won permanently by the Brit
ish animal as the fayorite carriage,
coaching and road horse in the United
States will again belong to the horse OF
American blood. Perhaps this state
ment should be qualified a little, be-
cause the most satisfactory road and
carriage horse in many respects has
been found to be one of about two-thirds
trotting blood and one third hackney.
1t is stated that the adverse view Of
the British horse here indicated has
been adopted even by most Of the very
rich men who have invested their dol
lars so freely in hackneys and the estab
lishment of farms on which to breed
them, and among the transactions in
horses recorded so far this year have
been many purchases Of trotting horses
for road and carriage purposes by such
well known former devotees of the hack
ney as Dr.. Seward Webb, ". K. Van
derbilt, George Gould, the Havemeyers,
John Jacob Astor and others.
With regard to the trotting season
soon to open, the most enthusiastic pre-
dictions are freely made. The purses
hung up by various tracks throughout
the country are unusually large, and
the entries are very numerous. If it
shall chance, as many trotting magnates
and trainers believe it will, that the
record is broken before snow flies, the
sport will receive a new impetus, whose
influence will undoubtedly be felt for
some years TO come. It is realized, how
ever, that the present record OF 1908 q,
held by Alix, is not an easy thing 60
beat. If it is bested, the horse that &C
complishes the seemingly impossible
will no doubt be as popular as was
Maud 8 in the day Of her greatest glory
and may even exceed 'Trilby as fad.
In the meantime experiments In the
way of crossing hackney and trottlng
blood will. be carried on with great sys-
tenn. One of the pictures given with
this article is q portrait Of Big Bones,
a large, massive gray horse with trot-
ting record of 2:2S1a. This horse is the
only known successful trotter from a
cross between Percheron and trotting
stock. 1t is believed by his admirers
that he could be easily sent at ais
gait or possibly less, and there are those
who believe that new breed Of yalua-
bic carriage horses, stronger than any
that have preceded them, but still able
to make very good time, may be intro
duced by continued crossings Of the
same sort. Big Bones is owned some
where in New York state.

Rice the Crop to Raise.

Every intelligent observer that is
familiar with Nassau county, her geo.
GRAPHICAL position, the bold streams that
form ner border line, the creeks and riv-
ulets, the character of her soil, and the
luxurlance of the grasses that grow
thereon, must admit that radical changes
are essential in our staple productions to
enjoy the blessings of providence that
are mysteriously and rapidly being I'M
yelled. And the day is not distant when
the naturally drained rice lands that
constitute very large portion of our
county will be as profitable for rice Gull
ture as the wheat fields are to the west
ern farmers. Rice is. to be the great
staple production of Florida. Indeed it
will be the conspicuous queen played
on the agricultural chessboard, and
directly and indirectly will add greatly
to the States prosperity. The question
may be asked, if this be so, then what is
the present hindrance to It's extensive
cultivation? We answer that as pre-
liminary step or prerequisite to extern
sive and profitable rice cultivation, there
must be no-fence legislation, without
which all efforts become futile, for the

Saving Orange Trees by Banking.

Since my letter inserted in your valu-
able journal on the 9th of April, | have
had a great many letters of inquiry
requesting to know the effect of the
earth banking spoken of as a protection
to the orange. AS therein stated throw
the earth on the trunks about two feet
high about the 1st of December and
move it ab ut the 1st of April when
danger Of frost is over, barring the roots
for foot or more from the tree.
On removing the earth this time
about the 18th of March found many
of the small branches which had been
covered by the earth to rise up full of
green leaves as If nothing unusual had

happened, and the trunks where covered
were the same as before the two terrible
freezes. Many of the trees came out
high up on the trunks and some in the
branches, some of which have gone
back since; but the majority of the trees,
although it did not appear so at first,
were killed down to where they were
covered, and am saving them down to
that part, leaving as even surface as
possible which 1 will paint with min
eral paint.

accident some few of my trees were not
covered and those show no sign of life
so far.
1t will be understood that the trees
referred to are seedlings. Those of my
budded trees that were budded low
down and covered will soon make an
other head and bear next year unless we
have repetition of last years disaster

had more than one thousand fine trees
did not follow my example and believed

any false hopes or encouragement in
this hour Of distress to SO many orange
growers, but | think that the orange

when the northwest wind was sweeping
through his orange grove with the

and some grades of leaf will not stand
as much as others, even though raised in
the same field. So to successfully cure
tobacco, a large quantity should be
procured and properly graded before
sweating. By grading mean not only
as to the condition of the leaf, but also
carefully selecting the different sizes,
different colors and the different in
texture.
We often find in the same crop some
leaves that are large and heavy; others
that are small and silky, or light IN
weight. To case and sweat together
would rot the light leaf and still leave
the heavy leaf uncured and contamin-
ated by the rotted stuff; where if they
were sweated separately. the light leaf
would make beautiful, glossy wrapper,
and the heavy one when we'll cured,
would make fine, good bodied filler,
with delicate aroma. There is room to
talk week on the grading of tobacco,
and then not begin to explain it, So
will not consume any more space in your
valuable columns on this line. 1t is
sufficient to know that a warehouse is
necessary to tobacco-grOw wing district,
and should the Baker county farmers
take to this new industry, they C ould
by establishing co operative ware
house, save for themselves the profit of
the middle man, and place their leaf on
the market in a neat and attractive
condition.
Now, about the quality of the tobacco
raised in this county. there can be no
doubt I have tested it ia every form,
and have had it tested by experts who
all pronounce it t. be the best domestic
tobacco used in the manufacture Of
cigars. A fair test was that made by P. A.
Ruhl, the local editor of The Press
He took one of the Reed e Miler's
cigars to an expert cigar dealer and
manufacturer in Jacksonville and the
cigar was mistaken for Key West goods,
and when told the cigar was made in
and from Baker county tobacco, the
gentleman replied that it was the
best five cent cigar in Jacksonville.
A number of other practical tests
have been made, and in every case have
been favorable. There is no doubt of
Baker county soil being equal to if not
the best in the United States for the
culture of tobacco. If few farmers in
every district in this county were to
plant a quarter or half acre of tobacco
next wear, to try it believe the follow
ing year would find almost as much
tobacco in this county as there is cotton.
Surely Gadsoen county soil is not
superior to ours. See what success
the people of that county have made
with the weed | understand it is the
principal crop raised there. Ask the
people of that country what the to-
bacco industry has done for them. A
good article of tobacco can be raised in
this county, and good article is W hat
every one is looking for.-F. o. MILLER.
