MONTANA HORSE
VALUES ADVANCE
EXPERTS SAY AGGR CAT E
PRICE HAS GONE UP Is
PER CENT IN YEAR.
Rough Stuff Being Absorbed by
Wars Demand; Better Grade of
Animals Being Bred; Over 200
Stations Imported This Near.

There are 100000 horses on Mon
tana farms whose price is 25 per cent
more than it was last year at this
time, according to Dr. L. FL. Riley of
Bozeman, member OF the state stallion
registration board. This board in
spects stations previous to their be-
ing registered for breeding purposes.
Over 200 registered stations have
been brought into Montana this year,
according to DR.. Riley. The Holbert
Horse company of Great Falls tops
the list OF state dealers with 60 impor-
tations to its credit. Fred Holbert is
III France now and will shortly brin>
over cargo of fine stations.
The horse embargo, imposed bv the
French government early during the
war, has been lifted by the president
OF France. American buyers have
thousands of dollars invested in
French horses, bought before the war,
and were not able to bring them to
this country until recently. The lift
ing OF the embargo has had the effect
OF rushing horse buyers to France,
and many importations may be ex-
,pected.
lmportations Quickly Absorbed.
The country is growing so rapidly
that it absorbs all of this fine breed
ing stock very readily. While Mon
tana goes to France for her breeding
stations the French government
comes to this state for its cavalry re-
mounts, and has bought everything
in the shape Of horseflesh that would
do for cavalry mounts and artillery
teams that was on the market. The
class of horses purchased for this pur-
pose was Of the ordinary variety, a
little. better than the rapidly disap-
pearing range animal, and kind Of
stock that it is best to sell. And while
the rough stuff is gradually being
weeded out Of the country, the fine
stallion is being brought in and with
resultant improvement in the stock all
over the state.
Breed Thoroughbreds.
"Breed thoroughbreds'' is the adj
vice DR.. Riley gives to Montana
farmers if. they wish to improve their
stock to the maximum of efficiency.
The Influence Of thoroughbred sire on
a farm will make itself noticeable in
eight or ten years so that the STAN
dard of all the stock will be effective
ly raised.
On January l, 1915, there were
10000 farm horses in Montana. A
year later there were 100000 and to-
day it is believed there are 100000.
The pure-bred is fast supplanting the
sayuse for farm use.
New Methods Being Used.
Many new methods, some of which
preclude the utilization of sire, are
now being used by success with breed
ers in all parts Of the country.
Precautions are taken to prevent
communicable diseases and thus to in
crease the efficiency of animals used
for breeding purposes.
With a continuation of the present
demand Of Montanans for pure-bred
strains the state will soon become
recognized as a foremost breeding
section, the Bozeman expert asserts.
