.HORSELESS AGE NEAR.
IS VIEW Of EXPERTS
Expects to See Them Banished
Entirely From Streets
of Cities.

Il expect to live to see the day when
the keeping of horses in Washington will
be prohibited on sanitary grounds, just
as the keeping of pigs has been and the
keeping OF cows greatly restricted" This
is statement made by C. G. Bell, one of
the experts Of the Department of Agri-
culture Mr.. Bell believes that Wash
ington is much cleaner city because of
the introduction Of automobiles. and that
the tendencies of the day Is to eliminate
horses in cities and restrict them to the
country
According to figures published by the
Department of Agriculture. horse breed
ing is about the worst paying business
that any one can go into Inquiries were
sent to 10000 correspondents and the
average for the cost OF raising a colt to
three years old was taken for the en-
tire country.
Cost of Raising Colts.
Counting the service fee, feed, veteri-
nary bills and breaking, the cost of rails
ing colt to three years old, even when
making allowance for the farm work he
does up to that age, is 1864. The sell
ing price averages $13617. This is max
ing no allowance for the mares that do
not produce foals or for those that die
prior to three years old.
Officials of the division of animal huS-
bandry who are cooperating with the
army in raising renlounts for the cavalry,
say that the only hopeful thing shown
by these figures is that the government
free service and the price of $50 paid
by the army for three-year-old helps
out the average somewhat Mr.. Bell
in discussing the matter said:
Not Attractive Business.
while 1 think the government offer
for army remounts is as fair assscould
be made under the circumstances. / GER
tain1y should not advise any one to go
out and buy lot of mares for the pur-
pose of raising horses and selling them.
There is no question that the automobile
is hurting the horse business
One of the things also that is worry
ing army officers and horse breeders in
general is the course of Congress toward
the cavalry branch of the service. There
was movement at the last session Of
ments altogether and fears are expressed
by some of those interested that a SIM
liar move may go through under the
present administration in the interests of
economy. The effect of such a course
as this on the horse market, 1t is point
ed out. would be hard to estimate.
