Shall Maine Raise Horses +!

Harvey ID. Eatons Percheron filly
foaled May 2, 1912, weighed $50 lbs,
Jan. 2, 1912. The colt is from Mr.
Eaton's mare Pink Elegance, 1862,
and by G, S. Benson's stallion Pioneer
89140. The mare worked steadily all
summer, the colt being shut up in the
barn every day while she was at work
in the field. This is the only pure
bred draft colt raised in Maine the
past season that we know of"
We reprint this item from last
weeks North Cornville news because
we believe the matter worthy OF
wider notice. Maine alone is buying
nearly 50 ,000,0 900 worth of draft horses
per year, practically all grade geld
ings and the other eastern states are
doing likewise. Yet we can remember
when horse buyers instead of horse
seekers were constant visitors
throughout our state, But when the
farmers failed to respond and sur
rendered their home market to out
siders even buying draft horses for
their own use. Only few weeks age
a Chicago paper announced the sale
in Chicago of six pairs of horses to
an Aroostook, Maine dealer for $4,-
IT'S. Those horses stood the buyer
we'll over 800 per pair in Aroostook
and have undoubtedly been sold to
farmers for nearly $1,000 per pair
Can not Maine farmers raise colts
easier than they can raise such sums
| of money?
AS Mr.. Eaton's experience shows il
is neither difficult nor expensive. We
are told that his mare is not large
for one of her breed and certainly die
her full share of work in addition tC
which she is carrying another foal
OF course she has good feed and good
care but the returns is well worth it,
Is it not time for Maine farmers
generally to produce draft brood
mares and raise at least their own
work horses?
