The export trade in horses is be.
coming important, and it is a growth
of not more than decade. In 1891
our total equine exports amounted to
less than $500. 600. Last year the total
was over eight million dollars. OF
course, portion of the total number
of horses were for use in the South
African war; but the bulk of the
trade was in carriage horses, saddlers
and trotters. Of course, the total
does not include mule Equipments for
South Africa.
Europe is getting too crowded to
render horse breeding profitable. The
land is too valuable. The same is
true of cattle as every one knows
So Europe turns to the Western
Hemisphere for her supply of horses
and cattle-the most Of the latter
being shipped as dressed meat, how
ever, instead of on the hoof. A few
years ago, when electricity supplanted
horses with marvellous rapidity in
street car service, there was much
talk as to the unproftableness of
horse breeding. The same talk was
revived when the automobile began
to come into general use But, under
the impulse of the rapidly INCREASING
export demand, the rearing of good
horses has come to be very profit
able business, and the outlook is that
1T will become more and more SO in
the future.
