MORE STATIONS IN KANSAS.
Increase in Licenses Means Better
Quality of Horses.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 10.-Increase
in number of licensed stations and
consequent increase in the quality of
horses in Kansas since the stallion
law became effective in 1910 has been
little short of marvellous, reports
show. The pedigree faker has been
practically eliminated from the state.
when the stallion law was first
suggested it was thought it would ex-
ert a strong influence-both directly
and indirectly-for better horses in
Kansas" says DR.. C. w. McCampbell,
secretary of the livestock registry
board and assistant professor of ami
NAL husbandry in the Agricultural
college. THAT the horsemen who
originated the idea of the law and
helped secure its passage were right,
is shown by the progress Kansas
horse raisers have made since the law
became effective in 1910. The best
index to the kind and quality of horses
in a community, county or state is the
kind of stations in use.
Future Improvement in the kind
and quality of the horses of a COM
munity depends almost entirely upon
the influence of the good, sound pure
bred sires. Figures show that even in
the counties where pure-bred sires are
most numerous there is need for more,
while in the counties where they are
few the necessity for more good,
pure-bred sires is most urgent.
Such sires provide both pride and
profit to stallion owner and to stallion

the State Department informally last

would like to rave the United States

The supposition seems to have been that
the state Department would be willing
enough 10 do anything In it's power to
speed him on his way.
The state Department. however. has
not shown any alacritv about taking
steps to secure n British safe conduct.

special consideration at the hands OF

that matter.
