Notes on the Horse Supply.

/ F. J. Berry tells The Farmers Re
view that the present outlook for
prices for horses is very good. We
have at the present time dearth of
salable horses and are sure to have
continuance of that dea.th for at least
three years to come. The last full
crop of colts was in 1894. The next
year the supply was very short, and
the same was true of the years 1896
and 1897. The colts born during those
years are just coming into the markets
now, and the supply of young horses
is therefore short, with no chance of
an Immediate increase. The colt crop
of 1898 was an improvement over the
previous year and the 1899 crop was
still better. In 1900 the number Of
colts dropped was fairly good. These
colts, however, will not begin to come
into the market till 1903, and some Of
them will not be brought in before
1905. The years 1902, 3 and 4 will see
the horse market taking everything
fairly good it can get hold of and TAX
ing it at good price, too. ~. =
Most Of the horses are now shipped
into market by professional buyers
men that go through the counties and
pick up all the animals they can that
they think will bring an advance in
Chicago. The shipments by the in
dividual farmers are a thing Of the
past. This arises partly from the
scarcity Of horses and partly from the
fact that the non.professiona horse
buyer is not good judge Of the kind
OF horses the market demands. Year
by year the market is demanding more
Of a class horse and becoming more
exacting as to certain characteristics.
4 The above applies to the common
horses raised by the farmers. The
great we'll bred, well-htted draft horses
are so scarce that they are not much
OF a factor when numbers are consid-
cred. When horse fit for export
comes into the yards he is at once
followed to the stable by several buy
ers, each anxious to get possession of
him. Under such conditions prices
cannot help being good. The market
quickly .'eats up the heavy draft
horse, 4. 5Is ID !. B. 81
There is considerable hope in the
situation from the fact that the farm
ers are everywhere waking up TO the
fact that class horses are wanted and
are the money makers. They are
therefore breeding their mares to stall y
lions that are the representatives Of
the classes rather than to anything
that comes along. as in the past.

Forestry is not the planting of trees
for ornament or for shade. It is the
science of raising crops OF trees for
profit on waste sland-land that is too
billy, too rocky or too steep for cultiva-
ton. On such land, and including ele-#
waited and exposed situations, the pine
will reach merchantable size in eighty
years, and by it's growth earn an aver
age net revenue of per cent. But this
is too long for individuals to wait for
a crop, and the state should buy such
tracts and keep them permanently in

would kill their Industry; people
wouldn't eat their product. Now, do
you think people would cease eating

why, IL it would kill one. not the other?
Because the color in one fools people
into thinking it is butter; they
wouldn't eat It If they didn't think so.
They don't reject it because it has no
color. but because the absence Of this
