Mr.. Tredway is one of the oldest

made by DIR. c. w. McCampbell. sec

dress of the Thursday session, at
Memorial hall. of the forty-fifth an

Product" was the subject of DR.. Nc
/ CampbelTs address.
/ Breeding of high class horses is
the only salvation for the horseman
in the opinion of DR.. McCampbell.
/ While this country has been fortunate
in the last year in disposing of sew

farms where horses are raised have
been supplied, any surplus of high

This, because of his opinion the work
horse supply of our cities is not de-
creasing and must be replenished each
year In short, DR.. McCampbell is
convinced that the farmer who appre-
c1ateS a good horse and knows how tc
raise and handle him certainly has a
right to feel optimistic over the future
for there is both pleasure and profit in
raising the ones-the kind that is still
a staple farm product
- Increased i'll Value
1 Many horse raisers honestly believe
that the need and demand for horses is
almost a thing of the past" said DR.
McCampbell. But as a matter OF
fact heavy horses have increased in
value practically ten per cent during
the last ten years. This assertion is
proved by Chicago horse market rec
ords which show that all horses that
