So much danger exists from eontagion in the handling of infected clothing that for some time past an effort has been made to introduce handkerehiefs of pa- per and fiber.

DRIVING HORSES NOT IN DEMAND.
Raggin & Tevis Now Breeding 0nly
Enough to Supply Their Several
Ranches.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 4.-Between
the increasing popularity of bicy and
the rapid developments in electric street.
railway construction, Haggin & Tevis
have been forced TO abandon one of their
heretofore profitable enterprises-that of
raising driving horses. H. A. Jastro, who
is in charge of the firms interests in Kern
County, where, under the title of the Kern
County Land Company, it has 400, 600
acres devoted to the raising of cattle
horses and grain, is now in Los Angeles.
He has just succeeded in disposing of 125
horses and Shetland ponies.
1--WE have not been breeding driving
horses TO any extent for three years past"
said Jastro to-day to The CALL correspon-
dent. The dema for this class OF horses
has grad ualIy diminished, and the prices
have consequently greatly fallen. This
state OF affairs is 10 be attributed, in my
opinion, to the coming of the bicycle and
10 the great progre.s that has been made
everywhere in the Stale in the iconstruc-
ton OF electric s:reetcar lines.
In former years we had about 1000
head OF driving horses in Kern County
from which 10 breed, and the annual in
crease was between 400 and 500 head. We
have now only about 1000 head there and
are breeding only enough for our own use
on our various ranches. We are selling
oil our surplus stock of driving horses as
rapidly as we can without seriously depre-
ciating their market value
Before the atvent OF the bicycle the
high class OF driving horses that we bred
were readily sold for S175 10 $500 each.
We are now in luck if We get $40 a head.
Owing to these conditions we find il more
profitable 20 devote the land 10 other pur-
poses and have determined 10 abandon
Tue breeding Of driving horses III Kern
County, and 1t is not unlikely that a simi-
lar policy will be adopted with reference
10 the Hagein ranch in Sacramento
County. We shall, however, continue 10
breed mules. Shetland ponies and draft
