PREPARE FOR GOOD HORSES
NOW-.THEY WILL BE NEEDED

During the time when the road and
saddle horse Of Tennessee was receiv'
ing the finishing touches in his devel
opment, there was a great change be-
ing made in the agricultural field OF
the Middle West. The land owners
there were beginning to realize the
value of more horse power on the
farm, and secured good types of draft
stations for use on their foundation
of range mares.
After getting the mares from this
sort of mating they saw that they had
an excellent incubator for high-priced
mules, if they used the proper kind
of jacks 1t was then that they secured
Tennessee and Kentucky for jacks of
such type and carried many away dur
ing the succeeding years.
From this foundation they are now
producing mules that we are buying
as weanlings and developing on our
Tennessee farms. It is common knowl-
edge that the best mule of this history
is the highest-priced mule on the mar
KotS To-Day.
Why not select draft stations OF
proper conformation and action to
mate with our common native mares,
as did the Middle Westerners years
ago, and produce our own good animals
in numbers equal to the demand?
1t is possible that never again will
there be a market equal to that Of the
last two years for the plug horse. War
demands have been heavy, it is true,
but may never recur.
Now is the time to prepare against
overstocking the country with plug
horse stock by taking steps to have
something to meet the regular de-
mands of our agricultural MARKET
