s. T. Kiddoo, president Of the Live

cago, is farm raised. a son Of one Of
Illinois most noted Shire breed ers
who was here this week has lust
returned from a trip through the
Black Hills OF south Dakota and
through Wyoming and Montana. Uf
horse breeding IN those states. he
says
NV swing through the north

Demand for Horses.
The demand for good draft
horses is very strong right there in
Wyoming for work on farms and oil
fields Mr.. Simonsen tells me that
the ranchmen are not only going
back 10 breeding next season but
that they are already beginning 70
look about for pure bred si~cs He
believes that n much better class
Of horses will be produced because
of this discrimination i'm the selec-
ton of sires.
'As banker. I was particularly
interested in talking with n2cn who
have had experience with tractors
and trucks on farms. and was alb
solutely confirmed in my own con-
viction that they are much more
expensive IN consideration Of SER
vice rendered. than good draft
horses many Of the farmers have
discarded them on this account.
Profit for Farmers.
Farmers in the corn belt states
will profit If they buy three year old
range bred mares which carry three
or four crosses OF draft blood. They
usually stand II hands high and
weigh 1900 pounds ard over. These
mares arc suitable for farm work
and with right feeding in their
fourth and fifth years. viii grow
stronger and heavier, greatly in
creasing in value At tho same
time. il will permit the release Of
mature, hardened farm horses now
on the corn belt farms at r. good
price for the present city demand.
This Will relieve the shortage Of city
