HORSES STILL DESIRABLE.

The aggkessivencss of the tractor interests in
= s~noting the sale Of their wares has stimulated
Tctivity among the horse breeders Of the country to
oh an extent that a national association Of breed
8rs has undertaken a nationwide campaign Of pub
S5city the purpose of which is to emphasize the i'm
~eortance OF the horse on the farm, in spite of the
admitted desirability of the motor vehicle for many
purposes.
During recent years horse breeding has been
neglected, but those familiar with the subject be-
iieve that the tide is turning. A recent circular is
$ued by the Horse Association of America SAYS:
This dispersion Of farm stock and the shortage
IF good young horses in the country, is certain to
Eause a startling jump in prices as soon as. the tide
surns. In many sections, the situation is anticipat-
ed by a great increase in breeding, such as reported
oy Hammer Brothers at Coopcrstown, N. D., who,
with three sires available, bred $50 mares this sea-
son as compared with 40 last year. 1t is important,
81 the turn Of the tide, that breeding be directed to
kst such a time, for when the general trend swings to-
ward horse breeding, in order to supply the neces-
fRsaTy numbers, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that
gust plain HOSES aren't wanted any more; that, to
bring profit, the horse must be particularly efficient
for the work he is to do.
The fact that farmers have been able to realize
cash in time of great need, on the sale of some of
their horses, emphasizes the sound economic posi-
tlon good horses and mules occupy in farm manage
lraent. These men who have been pulled out of the
hole by a timely sale of one or two work teams, will
mot forget what pulled them. Farm sentiment is
setting strongly toward increased horse use and
production, for present conditions convince even the
sskeptical that horses and mules are the 'one best bet
for farm work, The sacrifice of good teams to the
market now will ultimately benefit all, for increased
horse use in cities widens future markets for horses,
hay and grains. If there's any one thing the farm
Ter wants most, it's a wider and better outlet for sta-
farm products"
