Dealers maintain that the popularity
OF horses and the demand for them are

IN which the horse viii never give

Horses are harder to get now than
ever before ana prices are higher. Fine
draft horses, which now bring from
$500 TO $500. are between L. ami 20
per cent higher than they were five
years ago. while driving animals which
ti@ht or ten years ago We're bringing
$500 TO 500 are now selling for 800
more-thls Notwithstanding IN admitted
decrease in the use of horses for riding
and driving purposes.
Representatives OF sales stables ina
the horse growing sections of the
country Indiana and Illiuois-do
not hesitate to declare that horses are
higher and more difficult to buy than
ever before.
Many authorities ascribe this coudi-
tion to a decline OF interest in horse
raising. They argue that the ardor of
the farmers for this employment was
dampcned "A few years ago when the
coming Of automobiles led manv to
predict a very weak future for horses
1t is said that many farmers turned
to cthcr lines at That time and that tEa
trade in horses has never fully recov-
cred.
Some Of the horse dealers deelarc
that the growing demand for large
horses through the Northwest and the
open West, where agricultural and
farming development has hccu trench
don- within fcw wears. il largely re-
sponsible for the boost in prices.
\ well known Boston dealer in har
ness horses of the lighter grade dc
clarcs that the market demand remains
very nearly constant.
''Of course, there are fewer horses
bought now than i'm years gone by
but the trade is fairly steady and the
prices continue very high-highcr, in
fact, than | have. ever known them
before. We are ordinarily getting 800
or $500 for horses which we sold at
$500 or 500 10 years ago.
Il think this is due entirely to the
fact that there is much less breeding
than there was in the old days. Out
in Ohio and northern New York, where
we get most of our horses, the animals
are very scarce.
The scarcity of horses naturally
brought the mule into more common use
for a while but these animals, too,
soon We're in such great demand that
their prices rose. Nowadays mules cost
nearly as much as horses. \ very few
mule teams are owned in Brattlcboro
and vicinity, but they are a rarity.
No increase in the popularity Of
mules in the East is noted. not only
because CT the high price, but also
owing to . natural prejudice existing
here against the animal and the lack
