COMING, NOW COME
Optimistic Travelling Man Talks About
San Angelo and West Texas and
Says 1t Is No Longer "the

1t makes u fellow feel good to
find one who takes a rosy view of

the skies look bluer and nature

Raising Horses For Market

The question OF buying, selling or
raising horses has undergone a great
change during the past few years, says
q New York farmer in American Agri-
culturist.
I have been engaged in breeding and
importing horses for the past twenty
FIVE years and have naturally made a
study Of the different breeds and the
results OF crossing them on our com
mon mares to get good selling, useful
market horses. The French coach
horse have found to be one of the
best breeds to get good coach and car
rage horses for our city markets.
These horses cross best on our common
road or trottlng bred mares. Speed
and size I'm the mares Is a good thing
II you have It, but high class carriage
horses can be produced without 1t.
You must have size, quality and high
action in the stallion to get the very
best results.
walking Chit of Horses.
The walk Of young horse IS largely
influenced by the driver. If you put n
horse into the care Of n slow, idle man,
or If young horse Is driven by slow,
careless man, the animal will acquire
a habit OF slow motion that 1t will be
difficult to overcome. In majority of
cases slow, trailing gait makes really
harder work for the horse. a moder.
ately quick walk, with at least all or
binary farm work, exhausts the animal
laae fhnn a alnu emit
Training Young Horses.
So far us conditions will permit, a
young horse that Is being trained for
work should be worked with an older
animal that has been trained to move
fairly quickly, as he will not only be a
more valuable animal, but prove more
profitable to his owner.
Comb and Brush.
Many farm horses do pretty well
without any acquaintance with comb
and brush. but those who get little
OF It do better and are infinitely more
comfortable, says National Stockman.
A few minutes of comb and brush. the
comb used lightly and the brush with
considerable elbow grease, will make
big difference to the horse. He will
work with less fretting and more free
dom and will do enough more work to
pay for the time spent in cleaning his
hide.
Horses In the United States.
on Jan. /, 1904, there were in the
United States 16,736,O50 horses. Three
states have over n million horses each,
Texas leading with 1,252,7l4, followed
by Iowa with 1,156016 and Illinois
with 1,120276. In the live stock cen.
sus the average valuation is about SOS
