But only fraction of the number
of horses in the country are handled
each year through the big markets.
The horse business is entirely differ
ent in this respect from the business
in meat-bearing animals. In 1913 Of
the 21,OO0,000 horses in the country,
only 100000 were handled at the prin-
cipal horse markets, namely, St. Louis,
Chicago, Kansas City, Fl Worth, St.
Joseph and Omaha, the relative impor-
lance of these markets for the year
standing In the order named. St.
Louis, Kansas City and st. Joseph are
the only markets named that receive
mules in any considerable numbers.
They received 100000 mules in 1913,
in addition to the horses received. At
lanta and Memphis handle a great
many mules
The horse business at these leading
markets last year was greater than 1t
ever was before. In 1908, five years
ago, total receipts Of horses and mules
at these markets was $4,000 head; in
1903, ten years ago, 100000; and in
1898, fifteen years ago, the total was
$4,000 head. SO far this year these
markets have received practically the
same number Of horses as they re-
ceived during the same period last
year.
Horses at the markets are sold by
the head, at auction to the highest bid
der, either singly or in pairs, except
that unbroken range horses are sold
in car-lots, by the head. Auction sales
are held one or two days each week
at each of the big markets, the differ
ent markets having mutual arrange
ment as to the days of the week.
which are fixed so that buyers may
travel from one market to another
and attend sales at several of the mar
kets each week, If they so desire.
Doubtless a vast number of horses
change hands In the country privately,
but country prices are governed large
ly by prices ruling at the horse auc-
tons at the various markets. Horse
dealers travel about the country and
gather up horses, and ship them to the
central markets, and in this manner
the market price Is established in the
country.
Prices for work animals cover a
wide range, SIS to 500 for light
weight, serviceable animals for street
driving and light expressing, medium
weight chunks for city service at S125
to SITS, farm geldings, $40 to 5000,
farm mares $780, to 1925, well-shaped
horses weighing 1,150 to 1850 pounds
at $1S5 to $275, and $500 to $3.50 for
horses weighing around ton. Fancy
drivers and saddlers are not as much
used as they were ten or fifteen years
ago, and fewer of them are produced,
but prices on them remain at substan-
tial figures.

PLUMPNESS NOW IN ORDER
Day of the Slim and "Slouchy" Wom-
an Has Disappeared for the
Present.

The craze for slimness is passing.
and the thin, bony woman is disap-
pearing before the plump, bonny type.
Women cheerfully own now to a
waist of from &c inches to 36 inches.
In fact, the very slim, "slinker-slouch"
woman is now considered to be ugly
and deformed
The craze for slimness, a beauty
specialist said, produced the irritable
woman, the nervous woman, the neu-
rotic woman, the poseuse.
ITO be healthy" said the specialist.
"a woman should, as everybody
knows, have a full bust and an I'M
cramped waist.
IF woman adopts the kind of
'slinker-slouch figure her chest con-
tracts. and nothing is worse for the
general health than a contracted
chest
IF you want to grow beautiful or
to retain your beauty, do not indulge
in sarcasm"
This is the advice given by another
beauty doctor.
why should anyone be habitually
sarcastic" she asked. The person
who is always on the alert to take
it out of someone else has probably
just as many faults as those on whom
he or she looks with contempt
THE sarcastic woman has the least
chance of any woman to keep beauti-
full. Nothing draws out the wrinkles
as much as a sneering countenance
"a woman who really has suffered
can retain her beauty even though she
is somewhat lined, but the sarcastic
woman can never hope to be beauti-
full. She becomes dyspeptic and
miserable"

GOOD CHANGE.
Coffee to Postum.

Inc large army of persons who
have found relief from many chronic
ailments by changing from coffee to
Postum as a daily beverage, is grow
ing each day.
IT Is only a simple question of try
Ing 1t for oneself in order to know
the JOY of returning health as realized
by an Ills. young lady. She writes:
i had been coffee drinker nearly
all my life and it affected my stomach

without a headache. had heard
about Postum and how beneficial it
was, so concluded to quit coffee and
try it.
i was delighted with the change.
l can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache. My stomach has got
ten strong and l can eat without suf-
fering afterwards. l think my whole
system greatly benefited by Postum.
My brother also suffered from
stomach trouble while he drank cot
fee, but now, since using Postum, he
leelS so much better he would not go
back to coffee for anything"

The horses place in the life of the
country has been threatened many
times, but he has shown that he was
never really in danger, and he is in
more request now than ever before.
When the first railroad was built in
New England it was opposed on the
ground that it would take the value
out Of horses. In 1926 a committee
from the Massachusetts legislature
concluded, after investigation, that the
steam locomotive could not be ac-
cepted in the United States as a sub
st1tute for the horse, as motive power,
writes Joseph A. Rickart of Missouri
In National Stockman and Farmer.
Later the bicycle was counted upon to
weaken the position of the horse
drawn vehicle for pleasure, and to
some degree for business. The trolley
car displaced a certain number Of
horses and mules, but did not take
much from the prestige of the equine
race The motor car and the motor
truck were considered the certain
doom Of the horse, but he remains,
gaining in numbers and demand.
The reduction in the average size
Of farms in the United States, as
shown in the 1910 census, makes more
farm horses necessary. Experiments
have proven that it requires proper
tionately more horses to work a small
farm than 1t does a larger one, for
there are more idle days during the
year for horses on a small farm than
on large farm. But it is the demand
for good horses from the cities that
is responsible for the advancing price.
The motor truck has taken the place
of draft horses to some extent, and
figures are given by interested parties
that show the great economy In using
motor trucks over horse power.
Various influences, pro and con, are
affecting the horse market at this
time. On one hand there. is an excep-
tionally good demand from the cities
for large expressers and truckers. The
government is buying horses, and may
buy many more. On the other hand,
the open winter permitted farmers to
do much blowing, particularly In the
central and western states. When
spring came, instead of having to
work all their horses, and perhaps buy
more, some farmers were in a position
to sell one or more of their teams.
During the Boer war England bought
large number of horses in this coun-
try for service in South Africa. Kan
sas City dealers secured most of the
contracts for these horses, and horse
and mule receipts at Kansas City
jumped from $4,000 head in 1899 to
100000 head in 1900, and almost as
many were received in 1901, volume

The largest industry outside Of

What is perhaps our largest main
stay in this section is agriculture.
This organization is working hard TO
encourage our people to take adyau-

develop their farming lands along di-
ycrsified lines. In this work We are
partly successful, and as time goes on
We are getting better results For
instance, we have promoted and or
ganized live stock association. We
nope this will influence many OF our
people to take advantage Of what
tney have here and produce more and
better live stock, which they can do
with very little effort Then We are
encouraging the establishment Of
creamery, and urging our farmers to
put i'm dairy cattle, and II looks like
this movement is meeting with sue

Taking it all in all. about the best
way we can educate our people to use
their home grown products or manu-
factured products Is to urge them to
take advantage Of our wonderful agri-

next few years you will hear OF this

will stay al home instead Of putting
