Within the past ten years the horse
business has been one Of the most
profitable branches of agricultural In
dustry. The value Of horses in the
country has increased 131 per cent
within that period. despite the increase
in the number of automobiles and auto
trucks, and an increase Of 10 per cent
in the number of horses and q - Pc:
cent in the number Of mules.
There is no branch of farm work
with which the average farmer 10 more

ing horses, and yet horse raising IL the
industry that he thinks OF last when
contemplating side line. II farmers
knew that this increase in values would
probably continue there is no doubt
that more Of them would breed their
mares and raise the colts. The aver
age farmer, however, Is living in the
constant expectation that the advance
of the automobile will cause the pric1
of horses to decline.
