Horse Outlook Good.

There is a disposition noticeable
among some who pose as authorities on
horse matters to contend that mechan-
ical methods of travel and transporta-
ton, will in the not distant future, have
an adverse effect on the horse industry.
The National Stockman and Farmer
evidently does not share this opinion
any more than does this journal, as is
shown by the following sentiments eI-
pressed in recent issue:
"While the horse markets are not
very active even with moderate receipts,
still good horses are selling pretty well,
no matter to what class they belong.
Increased business activity will un-
doubtedly bring about better horse
market. The financial and industrial
depression has interfered with the trade
for both business and pleasure horses.
Fewer business horses were required; !;
and as the ones on hand were too ex-
pensive to keep in idleness, a good
many of them were thrown on the mar
ket. thus cutting out part OF the de-
mand for fresh horses Many business
men in their efforts to economize have
either disposed of their pleasure horses
or refrained from investing in them.
The automobile has undoubtedly dis
placed a good many horses of both
classes, but as the public learns the cost
of keeping automobiles, their rapid de-
probation in value and their frequent
infirmities, there is a reaction in favor
of the horse among people of moderate
means, who are learning that it is not
best to go too fast or too far in spending
mouey, or in getting about. We have
known several cases of such reaction,
even when the preference was for the
motor. When business improves the
horse market will improve naturally.
A nd as it is, it looks pretty good, com
pared with only few years ago.

The Warniuo Siunals,

A Boston physician tells Il story Of
youngster of his own that an over
strenuous vacation had put on tie sick
list The father had an appropriate
prescription filed and left the bottle
with the childs mother. AS she, how
ever, is very forgetful, he gave her
chart and suggested that she set down
the hours when the medicine should
be given, checking off each dose as
taken. Upon returning from his even
ing calls. however, he found the chart
blank.
Good gracious, Mary" he exclaim-
ed. Surely you haven't failed to give
Tom his medicine"
"Oh, no. did not miss single
time" his wife assured him.
"How In the world did you remem-
ber 1t without the chart?' he asked.
She smiled.

Winter Milk Price Fixed.

Farmers in the piddle zone, so-called,
will get from the Boston milk contract
ors for the next six months, beginning
Oct /, seven cents can additional over
the present schedule, making the price,
per can, 80 cents, the same as last win
ter.
This much has been decided after a
protracted conference between the Bos-
ton contractors and the directors Of the
Boston cooperative milk producers
company, conference which began
several days ago, and after a series of
meetings, terminated Sept. %. The
meetings have all been at the American
House in Boston.
In the course of the discussion the
contractors submitted various figures,
leading up, by easy stages, to the I-cent
rise, which they finally ordered.
The directors. soon after the final
offer was made, had meeting and
agreed to accept the 7-cent advance.
One Of the directors, by reason of
sickness, was absent when the directors
voted. 1t was given out that he was
likely in accord with the sentiment of
the directors, but if not, the directors
say that the offer would not be accept

cent advance, or at the rate of cent a
