HORSE STILL IN DEMAND.

In this automobile age nobody holds
that the horse is coming but is he gong
so rapidly as the increasing output -
automobile behicles would seem to indi-
cate? Mention has been made Of the
fact that coach horses are in create"
evidence in New York city because Of
the note of distinction which they give
when driven in Central park and the mp.
town avenues For other uses horses are
few IN comparison with automobiles in The
big city and elsewhere, and it IS the ma
chimes which tear up the roads and not
tho hoofs and the wheels. Perhaps the
wonder is that so many work horses sur
vive. though those who love them Clam
to he able to demonstrate that when all
the costs of keeping horses are reckonc |
up In comparison with the OUTLAWS of all
sorts for automobile trucks the showing
is in favor of horses.
What about the supply Of horses? Tn"
demand for their export which the va
in Europe has brought must have great
ly reduced the supply of horses and
mules in the country This is shown
by the difficulty which has been exre-
rienced by Uncle Sam in supplying
horses for the use of the troops on the
Mexican border. II is evident that both
in war and peace the horse will continue
to have a fixed place which cannot he
taken from him. There will always re-
main certain classes Of work which The
horse is better fitted to do than any ma
chine. Above ALL love for horses wi
never die out among men. All these
things go to explain how the price of
horseflesh has been advancing.
The demand for horses to send TO E,u-
rope has been largely met by gathering
them in western States, Perhaps this
helps to account for the fact that d
census of horses taken i'm the State of
New York shows that their number has
increased since the federal census of 1alp
1t appears that the number of horses over
three years old is now l,Ol7. 12S, showing al
increase of IN, 900 over the number given
by the federal census To the sum total
of horses now in New York State should
be added the COST colts Of three years of
age and under, which brings the tota.
present horse population OF the empire
State TO 1,o7S.545. These figures go TO
show that the horse is still very much
with us, and his quality is not deteriora,tng
under competition with the motor vehicle
The market for superior horses is so
good that the reward for raising thcr.
ought TO give breeders new courage -
