PRESIDENT HARRISON URGES
FARMERS TO RAISE OWN HORSES

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Referring to
reports that agents of the European
governments are buying large num-
hers of horses in the United States
for war purposes, President Harrison
Of the Southern Railway said today:
"This is a matter that directly con-
Germs the farmers Of the south. On
account of the great destruction of
horses that is now going on in Europe.
We may look forward to an active de-
r.and for draft animals during the wars
and for some time after the restora-
ton of peace. The natural effect of
this will be to bring about higher
prices, and this emphasizes the impOr-
lance to the farmers Of the south or
raising their own draft animals and
lot buying so many horses and mules
from the west as heretofore"
Washington, Oct.-Heavy purchases
by British and French agents of horses
for war use is presenting a serious
problem tt the quartermasters depart
ment of the United States army; and
it is feared that it will Don be i'm
POSSIBLE to obtain enough horses for
it's own purposes during the present
wear. Already the young horses
bought for the remount stations cost
SIT per head more than last year.
Those animals are too young to be
used at once and their sales do not
reflect the real increase in price for
cavalry horses which already stands
$40 per head over last years sales.
Shipments Began.
Fort Worth, Tex, Oct.-Shipments
of more than three thousand horses
from Fort Worth to Montreal, Cana
ca, for use in the English and French
European armies was begun today.
Trains will follow at regular inter
walls during the week, it is stated.
