HORSES IN GERMANY.
Imports in the Past Few Years Have
Dwindled to Almost Nothing.

Mr.. Brainard H. Warner jr., United
States consul at Leipzig, Germany, and
son of Mr.. Brainard H. Warner of this
city, in recent report made to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, through
the State Department, says that the imports
of American horses into Germany have
been steadily decreasing during the past
few years until they have dwindled away to
almost nothing. 1t was at one time thought
that the United States would be in the front
rank Of the nations exporting horses to
Germany, but 1t appears now that there is
very little hope in that direction. In ex-
PLANTATION Of this decrease of the imports
of American horses Mr.. Warner says:
Recently l took occasion to inquire of
very prominent farmer in the province
of Saxony, gentleman who has thirty-five
American-bred horses on his farms, why
1t was that American horses had almost en-
tirely ceased to be imported into that coun-
try. l was astonished that the reason given
was not the prices, but the quality of the
stock"
He adds that Germany perhaps imports
more and exports fewer horses than any
other country and that the price of horses
there seems to be nigh. The Prussian state
government runs two large stud farms
where horses for the use of the army and
some few saddle horses are bred but the
draft horse is the one imported in largest
numbers.
