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 II was opposed on the
ground that II would take the value
out OF horses. In 1926 q committee
from the Massachusetts, legislature
concluded, after investigation, that the
steam locomotive could not be &C
cepted In the United States as a sub
stitute 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 1t requires proper
tionately more horses to work a small
farm than It does a larger one. for
there are more idle days during the
year for horses on a small farm than
on q large farm. But II 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 we're In a position
to sell n or more Of their teams.
During the Boer war England bought
a 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. a volume
of horse and mule business that has
never been equaled at that market
since.

But only n fraction OF the number
OF horses in the country are handled
each year through the big markets.
emit In this respect from the business
In m~eat-bearing animals. In 1913 OF
the a. 900 horses in the country,
only 350,0 600 were handled at the prin.
cipal horse markets. namely. ST. Louis,
Chicago. Kansas City, FIT. 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 100, 900 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 II
eve 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, 500 1000; and In
1898. fifteen years ago, the total was
81. 900 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 OF 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.
emit markets having a mutual arrange
ment as to the days OF the week.
which are fixed 80 that buyers may
travel from one market to another
and attend sales at several OF the mar
kets each week. II 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. Hsrse
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.

used as they we're ten or fifteen years
ago. and fewer Of them are produced,

the venerable Cardinal Gotti summoned
to his apartments a number Of his young

q candidate for the papaI throne to cease
their efforts and let him die in peace in
