Cost of Raising Horses

Reports have been received from
about ten thousand correspondents of
the Bureau of Statistics of the De-
partment of Agriculture upon the cost
of raising colts on farms to the age Of
three years. The average for the
United States is found to be $104. 06;
or, if we deduct the value of work done
bv the horse before he has passed his
third year, namely 1882, the net cost
is $96 sd; this is 70.8 per cent of the
selling vaule of the horse, $136.17.
The cost varies widely by States,
from an average of 500. so for New
Mexico, $71.59 for Wyoming, and $82.4
for Texas, to $156. 60 for Rhode Island,
S149 SO for Connecticut, and $141.8 for
Massachusetts,.
Itemized, the cost is made up as fol-
lows: Service fee $1295; value of
time lost by mare in foaling, $1O.06;
breaking to halter, 1922. veterinary

year s.. Al, third year 1921; other costs
$5.Ol: total S104.06.
The total cost for all feed is $3.50,
being $2l.68 for grain, $l9.23 for hay,
81. Is for pasture, and $l.3l for other
feeds. The total cost of care and shell
ter is $16.69 Of the total cost, 81
per cent is charged to feeds, l6 per
cent to care and shelter, and 30 per
cent to other items, as enumerated
above.
AS more than half the cost of raising
a three-year old horse on farm IS
chargeable to feeds, it is readily OBJ
served how important is the influence OF
variation in prices of feedstuffs upon
such cost.

VOTES FOR WOMEN
Mean Votes for
the Home.

Government through the Publ,
School system controls the education o.
children.
Government through the Health De
partment controls contagious diseases
and regulates the purity of food, mill
and water supplies.
Government is responsible for all the sanitary
and moral environment of the Home including
the control of the Liquor Traffic and the regu-
lation of illegal Houses of Vice.
These are questions of vital importance to
woman in her sphere as homemaker.
Maryland Suffragists believe that Home Is
Wonan's Sphere and because Government has
entered Woman's Sphere, We believe that
woman, by casting d vote should participate In
government.
The Anti-Suffragsts say but women are rep
resented at the polls by their men folks.
We say, ore man can legally cast but one vote.
therefore z voter can only represent himself.
As it is the number of votes cast which decides
questions, not the opinions one vote represents.
we believe women should be given the right to
express their own opinions at the place where
opinions count-the polling booth.
The majority of men are just and recognizing
the righteousness and justice of our claims, they
are extending the franchise to women through
out the civilized world.
In the United States the men in all but twelve
states have given women some form of suffrage
and the testimony based on actual experience in
these states is overwhelmingly in favor of votes
for women,
