DEMAND FOR HORSES
LIKELY TO CONTINUE ACTIVE DESPITE ALL
CONTRARY OPINION,

The question Is frequently raised whether the
present demand for good horses will become a
permanent feature of the industry says the
Daily Drovers' Journal. So many radical changes
IN motorpower have been inaugurated which in
directly aim to supplant the use of horses that
breeders frequently are timid about enlargng
their operations. Judging from the movement
of horses thus far the current season. there
Will be strong future demand for commercial
horses us characterizes the present consumption
In some classes, instead of consumption declfn-
ing it has agreeably expanded the current year
This is particularly true as to the broader de.
mand for draft horses.
At the Chicago market the fiscal year all
previous price records have been broken and
draft animals have sold as high as $500. The
heavy business horse has not only successfully
met all competition, but also has met more
at any time In the history of the industry
The trend of industrial development fore
shadows broader consumption of heavy draft

tural operations has created increased demand
for heavy draft animals. Where the farmer
formerly was content with walking pillow that
turned single furrow, today on the same farm
he is riding gang pillow that turns three fur
rows. The farmer until recently cut his corr,
horse power machine. Improved labor-saving ma.
chinery Is being used on farms which requires
heavy horses to operate. and the general trend
of industrial development calls for the increased
of heavy draft horses. The draft animal
is helping solve the labor problem. Present and
the enlarged use Of the heavy commercial horses
and breeders take risks in ,enlarging thei,
operations. as the supply promises to be lesi
than the denlpnd for many years to come.
