HORSE NOT YET OBSOLETE
VIII Remain, II May Be Safely Assert.
ed, Long After Some Prophets
Have Been Forgotten.

Some prophets and sons of prophets
who predict that horses on the farms
will soon be only memory will have
passed away, and pleasing epitaphs
will be carved into the stones which
mark their resting place, long before
their prophecies become fact. The in
PRODUCTION of the farm tractor will not,
as some believe, remove the horses
from the fields and from their pas
lures, Farm Machinery asserts. The
advent of the street cars did not have
that effect upon horses, neither did the
bicycle nor automobile. Today there
are more horses in this country than
thers were ten years ago, and prices
are considerably higher The one
thing that the farm tractor will do Is
to supply the need of power on the
farms which horses cannot give. Take
away the farm tractors which are in
use today and several hundred thou
sand horses would be required to re-
place them, or IL horses could not be
had the lands would have to go un-
plowed and untitled The number of
tractors now In use will be multiplied
many times within the next ten years.
but there will be as many horses in
this country as there are today, and
prices will be even higher than now.
Farm tractors are becoming a neces-
sity, just as electric street cars have
become--the same as telephones have
supplanted the telegraph in a way and
have taken the place of messenger
boys and quick delivery of mail. No
one will agree that there are not more
miles of telegraph wire in use today
than ten years ago, nor can 1t be said
that there are fewer messenger boys,
yet the telephone is in almost every
business house and in many house
holds, doing work for which there was
little demand few years ago.
Tho farm tractors will simply ct In.
to the greater needs of the country
and will do the heavier chores and
drudgery which horses are little fit
for. They will not replace the horses,
but will simply assist them and make
life easier for them. They will also
enable farmers to breed better horses
because their mothers will be kept for
that purpose instead of spending half
or more of their time In doing heavy
work. Let us not dream too long upon
the practicability of the horseless
farm. 1t is long way off, as yet.

remarks the London Times. Such a
distance steeplechase horse called
Old Chandler is reported to have Gov
cred at Warwick some years ago. and
there is more than one apparently au-
thentic record of a horse clearing
seven feet in height.
The scene of one such exploit was
at the Phoenix park and the horse
was an animal descended from a ia
nous winner named Potsos. himself
called Turnip. The animal belonged
to Sir e. Crofton, and the duke of
Richmond, then lord lieutenant OF Ire
land, wagered $500 that seven feet
in height could not be cleared. A wall
of the requisite dimensions was built
what was asked of him in perfect
style. but 1t happened that his grace,
not knowing that the feat was ready
for performance, was not looking
when the jump was made, but Turnip
was therefore ridden over it again.
