KENTUCKY FARMERS

The Kentucky farmer has lost
money on his wheat and corn; he is
forced to ship his cattle and hogs to
a losing and constantly falling mar
ket; and his losses on his tobacco
have nearly driven him into bank.
ruptcy. The calamides Of troubled
world are placed upon his back, al.
ready bent double by its burdens.
Under these untoward conditions,
the one fortunate exception among
farmers is the stock raiser who owns
one or more thoroughbred mares. He
always finds a nation wide demand for
his thoroughbred foalSl The weanling
at its mothers side frequently brings
him $500 to $1,000, while the yearling
will sell for from 81 500 to $4,000;
a colt from jefferson county farm
having brought, at one Of the recent
Saratoga sales $25,000.
Year in and year out, the Kentucky
thoroughbred finds ready market;
buyers from all over the wrold coming
to this State to secure material to
improve the horses Of their respective
countries or localities. Owner Riddle

horse bred by Mr.. August Belmont in
Old Kentucky. A wonder horse is
Man-0'War. A smasher Of all records
and victor over all opponents that
made some Of the most brilliant Of
turf history, he has been returned to
his native hearth. there to perpetuate
his great qualities, Last month, Man

in the stud at Hamburg Place, near
Lexington.
Numerous other thoroughbred stall
lions and mares Of nearly, If not quite,
priceless value are owned in the State.
Wheat, corn and tobacco are often crop
failures, and cattle and hogs are
frequently raised at loss. But the
thoroughbred has a great permanent
value, for nowhere else in this country
is he brought to- such perfection as In
Kentucky, and his fame and the de
nand for him ere worldwide.
