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 1t out OF busi-

Never In the history Of the Chicago

the demand been so keen or the
prices SO high for high class horses
Of all sypes. especially the superior
draft type. Statistics from the u. s.
bureau of animal industry show that
the number of horses In this country
has increased from l3.500.000 to 2l.-
500. 900 In the past decade. The value
OF all horses in this country has In
creased from si5 to Sis In the same
period. This has occurred despite
the Increase In the use OF automo-
biles.
First class draft horses have been
almost prohibitive In price this year.
because of the great demand for them,
and 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
