by JOSEPH MONTGOMERY. Secretary
Of Minnesota Stallion Registration
Roard)
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
1914, May ], 1910, to 4,445, May l,
1912. During the same period the
number of registered draft sires has
increased 80 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
8nd 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 13,500,000 to 81,
100000 in the past decade. The value
% all horses in this country has in
creased from SIS TO Sis 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 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

WHY THE GERMANS LEAD.
Influence Exerted by the Continuation School,
in the Fatheriand.

An American manufacturer who had wondered
al the success of his German competitors was
struck by certain Zig, flaming oficial-ooking
posters on the Ejllboards and around public build
ings in Berlin. He might have similar
posters in every cty and town in Germany.
Twice a year these official posters summon the
youth OF the land TO obligatory attendance at the
trade and commercial schools. Hubert Evans
writes in Harper's Weekly Indirectly they tell
why the American or the English manufacturer
finds in the German such dangerous competitor
They reveal the secret of Germany's wonderful
commercial and industrial prosperity and of her
commanding position a world power. To the
phiosophically inclined they suggest interesting
reflections the transformation of idealists and
dreamers into nation Of mateTiaists and doors.
There is scarcely anything in all Germany so
new and modern as the continuation schools.
This whole movement has been matter of only
a few years and in its present form the continue
tion school is 4 child of yesterday. These insti
tutions receive from the nation more care and
solicude than is bestowed upon the children OF
the imperial family. They are stSll III 4 rapid
process of change and Development Their very
success has encouraged further changes and
more stringent legislation in their behalf It is
only few years ago that an imperial industrial
law was passed giving community authority to
establish and maintain obligatory continuation
schools for youths, thus making good the failure
of certain German state governments to provide
for such school BY state law One Of the last
acts of the relchstag last December was to amend
