HORSE SCARCITY.
PobIem OF Where To Get Supplies
Agitati0g Dealers And Users.

S"b DeoiSIo anu users.
What are we going to do for horses
during the next five yearsY
This is a question which suggests it,
self to the dealer and to the mon who
through the necessity OF using horses in
their business have become familiar
with the horse situation. As to the or.
dinary citizen or he who is removed to a
distance from tho trade the question
holds little moment. He knows little
and perhaps cares less.
Nevertheless it is problem Of intense
Importance to the whole country,
"Where are we going TO get our horses
some people who deal only in figures
will tell you that according to the last
census We have over eighteen millions Of
them in the United States, and they ask
IS this number not sufficient TO supply
the wants ot the country for the time
being. Bot when oae considers that in
1899 the number OF horses in the United
States was estimated alta little over l3
million and that the progress Of deple-
tion has been going on more rapidly
since than ever, it is proof enough that
the census estimate is hopelessly over
drawn.
Without trying to make any definite
estimate Of the number Of horses
actually in the country, and supposing
the number to be around fifteen millions
which in itself appears TO be an
exaggerated suppositiou, another ques-
tion arises: GLOW many of these horses
are good enough commercially to meet
the wants Of the present demand" The
answer Is "An Infinitely small proper
tim" Therein chiefly lies our
deficiency.
We afc short, unequivacally short of
good horses.

they would accept no other and be-

population. But we oyerstepped our
kindness. Ne sold them the cream Of
our Geldings, aud when temporary
aynrice and not contemplating the re-
suits Of the furure, we sold them our
stations.
This fas proven the most deplorable
result Of The era Of low horse prices in
the United States. Horse breeding bo
came such an abandoned industry that
slallionocrs received hardly enough in
season to pay for horses keep. 1t
