1920 with that of 1910. The 1920
census shows the number of
horses mot on farms" in 1920 at
l,7O5,0O0 against $4,000 in 1910, a
decrease of 1910 in the ten year
period ending with 1920 while the
annual decrease since 1920 is pre-
sumably even more rapid than that
of the decade ending with 1920.
The decrease in use of the horse
has been much more rapid in the
cities and towns than in the rusa1t
areas, as shown by the fact thar
while the number of horses on
farms decreased 79o in the decade
ending with 1922, the number moi
on farms" decreased 46% in tbs
decade ending with 1920. :
This big fall off in the number q
horses would probably have bee1
even greater but for the fact tim
we of the United States do not rEs
gard the horse as a food animal,
and the present generation of
horses is thus permitted to pass
out of existence by the natural
process rather than by slaughter
ing them Cor food as is often done
in certain other countries. -
That the decrease in the numbSSS
and value of horses is closely re-
lated to the increased use of thu
automobile in its various forms q
evidenced by the fact that tkl
number of motor vehicles regin
tered in the United States has ins
creased from l.7ll.359 in 1914. =

ly but surely yielding to the activi-
ties of the automobile and farm
tractor, while other farm animals
show an increase during the same
period. Comparing the official fig
ures of January !. 1923, with those
of January !, 1914, it appears that
the value of horses on farms of the
country decreased 42eo in the nine
year period, while that of cattle
increased 40, swine 1870, and
sheep 1870 in the same period. The
number of horses decreased more
than 100000 in the nine year
period, while the number of swine
increased AZ million, cattle in
creased nearly 100000. The av-
erage value per head of horses on
farms decreased $3.50 when COM
pairing January l, 1923 with Janu-
airy /, 1914, while that of swine in
creased 1919 and sheep 86Ts per
capita. Horses decreased in num-
Der, value and price per capita /;
sheep decreased in number but in
creased n aggregate value, while
cattle and swine increased in
both number and total value in the
period in question, January l, 1928
compared with January !, 1914.
The above figures necessarily re-
late only to animals on farms as
we only get .decennial estimates of
the number of horses in cities and
towns. That the number of horses
in the cities and towns has even
more rapidly decreased than that
on farms is evidenced by a COM
parisou OF the decennial census Of
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-02-14

That the horse is being slowly but
surely displaced by the automobile
and farm tractor is again evidenced
by the annual statement of the De-
partment of Agriculture as to the
number of animals on farms in the
United States on January l, 1928.
Horses again show a fall in num-
Der and aggregate value as has
been the case in each year since
1918 while all other animals show
an increase in both number and
value when comparing the figures
of January /, 1928 with those OF
the same'date of last year.
The number, of horses on farms
on January /, 1923, shows fall of
100000 as compared with one year
earlier, while cows show an in
crease of $4,000, other cattle of
$4,000, sheep an adv Wee of 49,
600, and swine a ga. ct 5,590O0
when comparing January !, 1928
with January /, 1922. The value of
horses on farms falls off 2o,OOO,0OO
in the. single year 1922 while that
of cows increased $l4,0OO,OOO, other
cattle S88OO0,0O0, sheep $l05,OO
and swine $l44W0,OO0.
While the above figures showing
a fall in the number and value of
horses refer only to a single year,
1922, a comparison of the number
and value of the various farm ami
mails on January !, 1928 with that
of the January Immediately pre-
ceding the war makes it clear that
the horse has been meantime slow
