tBy JOSEPH MONTGOMERY. Secretary
Of Minnesota Stallion Registration
Board.)
Never in the history of the draft
horse has the future appeared so
promising to breeders as now, despite
the statements Of a leading speaker
at the annual meeting Of the State
Veterinarians association at Mime
apolis that the automobile and auto
truck were driving it out OF bust
ness. There is no reason, in the light
Of statistics, why the doom of the
draft horse should be spelled by the
auto.
Though the enormous number of
auto-trucks in the cities might lead
one to believe that they were crowd
ing the draft horse out of business,
actual figures do not prove it. Sta
tistics In the office Of the Minnesota
stallion registration board show that
the number of sires used in this state
for horse-breeding has increased from
3,544, May 1, 1910, to 4,445, May l,
1912. During the same period the
number of registered draft sires has
increased 35 per cent, there now be-
ing over 1,450 in Minnesota. This is
an excellent guide to conditions Of
the industry in this state and through
out the country.
Never in the history of the Chicago
and st. Louis markets, the two larg-
est ones in the United States, has
the demand been SO keen or the
prices so high for high class horses
of all sypes, especially the superior
Graft type. Statistics from the U. S.
bureau of animal industry show that
the number of horses in this country
has increased from 13,500000 to 21,-
SOC, 900 in the past decade. The value
o. all horses in this country has in
creased from $45 to $115 in the same
period. This has occurred despite
the increase in the use of automo-
blles
First class draft horses have been
almost prohibitive in price this year,
because of the great demand for them,
and a team of drafters has often
sold as high as $500 to $1,000. The
demand for high class saddle and
carriage horses in the eastern cities
has been so great that their prices
have been almost prohibitive to
many who can afford automobiles.
All this should be very encourag-
ing to persons in the United States
interested in horse-breeding. When
horses have increased at so rapid a
rate the last two years, and prices

Excuse me-" smiled the center rush, the
while he DOTTED his cap.
How is your health? How are your
folks? You're looking well, old chap
I trust that it's convenient for you to
step aside
And give us that position which you re.
tain with pride"

he the right guard met.
I'm in a little hurry; the touchdown
must get.
Twill be wondrous favor if you'll allow
me Thanks!
I shall return the kindness when you
come through our ranks"
Good evening" said the tackle into the
left guards ear
ut looks bit like showing, although
the sky is clear.
Please step here. TO this pillow. I beg
that you will fall.
All, thank you very kindly. Now I viii
take the ball"
"Allow me-" said the captain. 81 wish tc

But they will be quite futile If you still
hold those lines.
Might I request you kindly to rearrange
your team
So that our forward movement less diff.
fcult may seem?"
And so they go to practice the one-time
rowdy game;
IT'S hard, indeed to fancy, that in il

And batter their opponents and sometime:

Why, now the pigskin's polished ant

Enaland'a Motto.

"Dieu ct Mon broit''-"God and My
Right"-the royal motto of England,
was the parole of the day given by
Richard l. the OF the Lion Hsart) TO
his army at the battle OF Gisors, in
France. on the goth of September
1873, when the French army was sig
nally defeated. Dieu ct Mon Droit
appears to have been first assumed as
a motto by Henry VI, 1422-1462. Sem

one of the notices of Queen Eliza

and Anne.

Chivalrous in Face of Misfortune.

At mass meeting recently in a
nearby town an old and foremost citi-
zen who clings to the sartorial style
of years ago, was called upon for his
views on the subject'in discussion He
made brief speech, and as he was
compelled to hurry back to his office,
he turned to the seat next to his, on
which he had deposited his silk hat.
just in time to see a woman fiatten

Ever polite, his feelings were never

stances was:

Too Well urned,

the sage of Harlem Park, that the

"Yes," answered the sage. "It is

that sort of well-urned fame"
And then the humble citizen got his

have kept soaring in spite of the in.
crease, there is no reason to believe
that the automobile will ever drive
them out of business. Instead Of the
automobile causing scarcity OF
horses, it would be more reasonable
to say that the scarcity of horses has
caused the temporary advent of the
automobile and auto-truck.
Farmers in Minnesota need not
fear to grow more horses. II they are
large, sound, and serviceable, they
will always demand the highest
prices, The horse industry is found
ed on permanent basis, and has no
reason to conflict with the automobile
industry in any way.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
The Iron Age" says:


Pig iron buying by steel companies has
been a stimulus to the market in all lines.
1t need hardly be said however, that feel
ing in the trade is still far from huoyant;
there are too many reminders of low state
of profits i'm every department Of the IN
dustry Furnaces are now asking Sl4 20
for Bessemer iron and Sl3 for basic. Re,
cent buying by Pittsburgh district steel
companies has taken up the basic iron,
about fifty thousand tons, long carried
at Midland. Penn, part of 1t being
owned by a speculative buyer \ COnSld-
era hle inrOad has been made also on stocks
of Bessemer iron in the Mahoning Valley.
Total purchases in last two weeks amount
to nearly one hundred and fifty thousand
tons of Bessemer and seNentN-fve thou
sand tons of basic.
Algoma Steel Company is in market for
twenty thousand tons each of Bessemer
and basic iron, but no considerable part
Of this can be supplied by valley fur
naCeS. Foundry iron markets have felt
an impetus from the activity in steel
making iron. At Pittsburgh the Westing-
house interests have closed for twelve
thousand tons Of foundry grades for the
second half of the year. At Buffalo and
in the East inquiry for foundry iron has
increased four important interests which
buy at New York having asked for up
ward Of twenty-five thousand tons. FOun-
dry iron prices have not changed, though
in some quarters they are a trifie tirmer,
and Southern iron more so than Northern.
European consumers may call for Alabama
iron in view Of the tying up of vessels
in England, but Southern furnaces are
now asking more for export shipments.
II is reported from England that an
American independent steel company has
made sales Of fifteen thousand tons of
billetS and sheet bars there and that fur
ther business would have been put
through but for the coal strike
The Iron Trade Review SAYS:
The heavy buying Of pig iron by the
Steel Corporation and Independent com.
panies has had decidedly stimulating
effect on not only pig iron. but also on
finished lines and old material Optimism
prevails and there is a general feeling
that this great country is getting ready
to DO business on A large scale without
much regard for the actions of poltiClane.
Heavy Specifications are being received
by many Of the mills and in quarters
where trade has been slowest there have
been Increases in new business. Some Of
the mills have become so filled with
future business that they are more ear
nestlv advancing prices The Lackawanna
steel Company this week advanced shapes
and plates 10 l.20C Pittsburgh. and the
steel Corporation continues To decline
business at below l15c, Pittsburgh, on
these products Shortages Of freight cars
have seriously interfered with the move.
ment Of steel materials in some directions
ard with some large interests these short
ages exceed three thousand cars. Some
good sized sales of American steel are being
made to FIJI shortages in England.
