"We were tired being alone in the

MEDIUM AND HEAVY HORSES
Market Preferences Are Now for
Drafters and Southern Chunks,
According to Reports.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture-)
Although horses on farms slightly
decreased in number in the United
STATES in 1913. this general fact is by
no means true in all sections. 1t is
true in the North from the Atlantic
Ocean to Iowa and Missouri, and on
die Pacific coast, hut the reverse is
the fact in one-half of the South, and
in nearly the whole region between
the Mississippi river ana the coast
states. except Iowa, Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Texas. and Oklahoma.
In the North and in the Pacific
states the kind of horse that is pre-
ferred on and off farms is changing.
The automobile owner does not want
driving horse and the farmer with
an automobile does not need n dual
purpose horse-a work animal that
will also serve as road horse. Me-
dunn and heavy draft horses are the
new requirements.
This tendency is reflected In prices.
In the Chicago market the mean price
of draft horses rose from Sill in the
five years, 1901-1905, to $213 In 1914.
The mean price declined In the early
period of the war to S205 in 1915, but
assembled to 1852 in 1916, fell to 1912
In 1917 and recovered to $500 in 1918.

of the five years, 1901-1905. The class
of horses known in the Chicago mar
ket as general had the mean of Slab
in the first five years Of the century
and reached as high mark as $i65
in 1913, but the mean for 1918 was
S152, or per cent above that Of the
five years.
Carriage teams and drivers are small
features Of the market. There is little
demand for them and the supply corre-
spends. However, snowy carriage
teams sold for $1,000 to $4,000 in
1913. "Bussers and trammers" have
been fully out of the market for sew
eral years.
The active southern demand for the
southern chunks" sent the mean price
in Chicago from SCI in the five years
1901-1905 to sos in 1913, followed by
$sS In 1915. 500 in 1916. $03 in 1917,

sourcefulness Of Sanchez meant sue

those crowding near me, spoken In
nearly every language of the world.
Much could not translate. yet enough
reached my ears to convince Ine of
the temper Of the crew-their feverish
eagerness to be again at sea, under
command of captain whom they both
hated and feared--a cruel, cold-bl0od-
ed monster, yet a genius in crime, and
a natural leader of such men as these.
Black Sanchez / listened to their
comments, their expectations, with
swiftly beating heart. / alone knew
what that boat was bringing. What
would be the result when the dead
body of their leader came up over the
rail?
