Horses Promise Good Profits.

Authorities aver that horse breeding
nromises handsome profits to farmers
daring the next;few years. For several
Years prior to 1916 the increase'of horses
had fallen below . reasonable expeota-
ton. Prices were suoh there was little
induceuent for the breeding OF mares
particularly those of light horse blood.
The slauphter of horses In the European
war has increased the demand, resulting
in higher prices. American breeders
are now declared to have splendid
market guaranteed for several years.
Even should the war cease the now Del
iissrept nations would continue for some
time 10 be liberal purchasers OF horses
With which to restock their depleted
farms. During the first eleven months
of the conflict thirty-on percent OF tne
horses in France were taken for military
pnrposes. while during -twenty-ene
months ending June the United states
exported Gil, 100 horses, valued at s!S4,
