HORSES SCARCE IN TEXAS.
Demand Far Exceeds the supply and
Prices Are Soaring.

A horse famine of serious proportions
prevails in Texas and the Southwest. So
far from the automobile putting the horse
out of business, the demand for horses at
present in the United States far exceeds
the supply and the price is constantly ris-
ing. Contractors who have for many
years been furnishing horses to the Unit
ed States army are either refusing TO
make bids or making them with limita-
tons and restrictions. They declare that
after securing Texas and the adjoining
States they find an unprecedented scare
ity Of available stock and that at present
breeding is not being engaged in on scale
large enough to promise relief in the next
two or three years. They are unable to
account for the scarcity Of horses except
on the theory that the breeding stock was
depleted in this part of the country during
the Boer war and the Spanish war and
has never been re-established. 1t is prob
able that this scarcity of horses and in
crease in prices will operate to attract
men to the breeding of these animals.
