Horses and Mules.


There has been a rapid increase the
last few years in the number and value
Of the horses and mules in the United
States.
In 1900 there were 15,624,OOO horses
and mules In the United States. Dur
ing the next Ave years there was an
increases Of 27.7 per cent, SO that on
January l, 1905, the number Of horses
and mules had increased to 19,946 900,
but the increase did not stop at that
rate. On the first of January, 1907.
there were no less than 23,564 900
horses and mules, showing an increase
of 1S per cent dur:ng the two years
subsequent to 1905.
Those who are inclined to talk over
production at the present are confront
ed with the indlsputable fact that dur
ing the seven years when the Increase
In numbers amounted to 80 per cent
there was also an increase In price per
head amounting to over so per cent.
Thus on January l, 1900, our horses
and mules were valued at $715,6SS,OOO,
while on January l. 1905, they were
valued at $2,274,642,OOO.
This Is a phenomenal record and yet,
Notwithstanding this extraordinary In
crease In number ana value, horses are
in greater demand to-day than they
have ever been before In the history OF
he United States.
