people that foreign governments, espe-
cially France and Germany, have buy
ers in the American markets purchasing
mounts for their cavalry and artillery
While this ,is not true, 1t is still n fact
that many American horses find their
way into the military service not only
In these two countries, but In others
ms we'll. While the governments do not
buy them direct, the foreign buyers in
American markets sell them to the gov
ernments whenever they have horses
answering the various military re-
quirements, because they receive the
best OF prices. For cavalry and artil-
lery horses abroad the price ranges
from $3.50 to $3.50.
AS a guide for horse breeders and
shippers the agricultural department
has published n statement showing In a
general way the character of the horses
desired by each of the countries to
which we sell horses, as Indicated by
the horses sent them:
Great Britain-Ninety per cent. of the
horses sent TO this country are draft
horses, about seven per cent. are high
class coachers, and three per cent, trot-
ting and light carriage horses.
Germany-Ninety-five per cent. of all
the horses sent TO Hamburg are draft
horses weighing 1900 pounds or up
ward, the other flve per cent. being
made up of high-class carriage, run
ming and trotting horses. Most of the
latter are reshipped to Austria.
France-About IS per cent of the
horses exported to this country are
what are termed cabbers. The other Ii
per cent. are about equally divided be-
tween draft horses and trotters.
Belgium-About two per cent. OF
those sent 10 Antwerp are trotting OF
light buggy horses, 90 per cent. street

perimental way, 1000 horses were pur-
returns. In 1894 there were five for
cIRn buyers, or their representatives,
on this market, and 1000 horses were
exported. In 1898 5000 horses were
purchased, and the number of buyers
was materially increased. In 1895
there were upward of so buyers on the
market, and 10000 horses were pur-
chased and exported. The present sea-
son over 70 buyers are on the market"
The classes of horses purchased by
the foreign buyers Mr.. Bruette enumer-
ntes as first, coach horses and drivers;
second, cab horses; third, bus horses;
fourth, draft horses, and fifth, standard
trotters.
The growth in the expectation of
American horses has been unprece-
dented. In five years time it has
grown from nothing practically to
mammoth proportions, with promises
OF even O greater growth If properly
encouraged and protected. The bulk
of the horses exported go to the ma
uons of Europe, and so come into di-
rect competition with the horse breed
ers of the old world. The effect of
this competition has been wall from
the breeders of several of the European
nations. Germany has found II neces-
sary in order TO protect her own prod
uct in the horse line to raise the cry
of diseased horses against the import
ers, as they do against our meats. They
have increased the stringency of their
quarantine regulations until nothing
but the absolutely perfect can pass
them, and still the sale of American
horses in Germany is increasing rap
idly.
Belgium breeders are also alarmed
at the increase in the sales of AmeTi-
can horses, not only in other nations OF
Europe, but in their own country as
we'll. So long as the imported horses
were of inferior classes they took but
little notice of it, but with the improve
ment in the class OF horses, as well as
the Increase in numbers, they began
talking of measures of protection for
themselves.
The effect of the American horse
upon the English market has been prac'
tically the killing of the horse raising
industry in the island. This was first
noted at time when the prices oi
horses In this country was so low that
they were comparatively worthless
To realize profit from the business
buyers began shipping their horses tC
Europe, where they were sold at mos
any price they would bring. But witt
a better market at home better horses
were shipped abroad and better prices
demanded, and to-day the American
horse of the best class Ia u feature o
the London streets.
There is a mistaken idea among many

NAME of the agricultural indus
~ tries of the country that is re-
~ cetving the fostering care OF the
agricultural department at the present
time Is the raising OF horses for export.
1t takes a visit to the horse market
In Chicago to fully impress one with
the Importance OF this industry to the
American farmer and horse breeder.
There are IN that market more than rs
foreign buyers bidding for horses
suitable for export, and there were
shipped from Chicago to foreign ports
during the past year more than 10000
horses-all Of the higher grades. But,
while Chicago is probably the largest
shipper OF horses to foreign ports, 1t
is but one of many. and the figures of
the agricultural department for the
past year, so far as completed at this
time, indicate that more than $4,000
horses were shipped abroad during
that year.
The great majority of the horses
bought by foreign buyers for export
are raised in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa and
Michigan, and as result horses In
these states are bringing much bet
ter price than they would otherwise.
Mr.. William Bruette, the government
inspector at the Chicago market, snid
regarding the expectation of horses:
"The exporting of horses has been
going on from this point for the past
ten years in desultory way, but did
not assume proportions of material i'm
portance until 1893.
Foreign horsemen who visited this
country, presumably through the in
strumentality of the Columbian exposi.
ton, found our markets surfeited with
horses, while there was q shortage
abroad. During that year, in an ex'
