GREAT SCARCITY OF HORSES.
Am.r4ca,s supply. Thouah fIAr.s u
Not Equal to the Country's
orOwing Demand.t ~.

We are horse p%oor-not 81 some
people are land poor. because they
have too much-but horse poor be-
cause we haven't enough horses.
After the civil war we found our-
selves short Of horses Of the bigger
types and began importing them for
breeding purposes. We imported
them to good purpose and in very
large numbers and greatly improved
the quality of our stock. When.elec-
tricity began to haul street cars the
market for the commoner kinds of
horses fell OFF and farmers didn't
breed SO many. When the automo-
biles began to appear and were her
aided as machines that must super
sede the use of carriage horses the
breeders Of the Better class OF horses
took fright. " 80
For years after 1893. too, thousands
OF people who wanted horses could
not afford them. But with the return
Of prosperity the demand for good
horses began to grow again and
breeders bred more Of them, reports
Harper's Weekly. But it takes about
Ave years to raise a horse that is
ft for the market and the breeders
got behind. The demand has outrun
the supply. The price OF good horses
has increased very greatly and inn
lSpprtedastallions are said to. be worth
nearly ten times what they were ten
years ago. The. South. african, war
took q great number of horses out
OF the country, including many
worthless ones, but the business Of
horse-breeding has revived SO much
that we shall soon have again 9 rea-
sonably full supply.
Enterprising farmers nowadays
breed good horses. It pays, and
breeding poor horses doesn't pay.
We import horses from Europe for
breeding purposes and from Canada
for use, but Of late we have exported
far more than we have imported and
are likely to keep on doing so. The
annual horse show in New York,
which seems on it's surface to be a
frivolous spectacle, really holds q
highly important relation to one OF
the great industries Of the country
It is the parent Of all the American
horse shows and, with them, con
stantly measures, stimulates and di
reefs the conntry's progress in the
breeding of fine horses. There are
about 3 500. 900 horses in our land
Of an estimated value of 1904, 600. 900
The Improvement of that much stock
is q pretty important matter, espe.
cially in these days, when Europe i.
horse poor, too, and ready to take
from us any surplus Of good horses
that we may come to have.

A prominent clergyman strongly
urges all young men who contemplate
entering the ministry to learn some
trade either before or after their
ordination. He has examined the sta
tistics of the various Protestant de-
nominations and has been appalled,
by the number OF ministers who are
without a charge. He thinks that il
every preacher should have a trade
his independence would not only be
9 great thing for himself, but would
increase his usefulness in the pulpit.
