DRAFT HORSE BREEDING.


In urging the breeding of more good
draft horses to supply the growing de-
mand, Breeders Gazette says:
The fall conditions in the corn belt
are peculiar. Feed promises to be
high in price. Pastures are practical
ly exhausted for the year. Some
farmers who have been breeding pure
breds seem to be discouraged and are
offering the young things at figures
which seem too low. Here is where
they are making a grand mistake.
Horses for working purposes are not
going to be appreciably lower, at least
that is the opinion of the best posted
men in the trade. Discrimination be-
tween the get of the high-class stall
lion and that of the scrub was never
keener.
When the Wall Street panic fell
like a blight over the whole land last
season, demand for horses suddenly
| slackened to wonderful extent.
Those who had to buy horses spent
just as little money as possible, TAX
| ing in many instances animals really
| too light for their work. Here, how
ever, the possession of good blood
| told Later, when things began to
loosen up little, the demand for
drafters improved and the get of the
high-class stallion got the first call.
Recently this demand has shown con-
siderably improved vigor and some of
| the buyers have been questing in
search of show material with liberal
appropriations in their wallets. Here
| the get of the best stations have
scored again.
These facts carry such a lesson
| with them that it is obviously fool
| ish for farmer-breeders to sacrifice
| the good things in their studs merely
because corn and oats are high and
promise to remain so until another
crop is garnered. Never was there
more foolish policy pursued. There
is no animal bred on the American
| farm which will return such high
price for the grain fed to him as the
pure-bred horse. To part with him
now for less than he is worth savors
of mistaken diagnosis of the situation
or of commercial cowardice or both
