licensed. Scrub sires in 1911 number
673 and in 1922 only Sc remained.
The total number of horses In Wis
consin on January 1, 1928, was $4,000
There is in this state at the present
time therefore approximately 1 pure
bred stallion to 607 horses, and
stallion of any kind to every 514
horses. These figures show that the
stations in the state are far too few
in number if horse breeding is to be
actively resumed.
An official report of the Bureau of
Animal Husbandry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington
D. C. made in 1922 said, The danger
point in the horse breeding industry
has been reached. A survey of IA of
the Is principal horse breeding states
that so per cent of the public service
stations in these states disappeared
between 1915 and 1921 In Pennsy
lvania, Indiana, Iowa Michigan Wis
sas, Montana. Idaho Oregon and Cali
fornia there were 1921 stations in
1915, and in 1921 there remained only
1902.
Iowa had $4,000 less horses on Janu
airy 1, 1923 than on the same date in
1922. In that state draft horse values
have increased from $25 to SIS per
head in the last six months. Good
horses are now reported t. be selling
in Iowa from $3.50 to 1925 per head
according to size and quality. Best
draft horses were selling at 125 to
$3.50 and fair drafters at SIS to SITS
each in the Chicago market on March
1, 1928. Horse feed is now reasonable
and the demand for good drafters i'm
proved, and at better prices. All sound
and suitable draft horses should be
mated this year.

HORSE FAMINE FEARED

We are facing a serious shortage
Of good draft horses for farm work,
said DIR. A. S. Alexander, Director of
the Division of Horse Breeding of the
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture
Farmers in Wisconsin should awak
en- to this fact and resume the mating
of first class brood mares with the
best available sires, The continued.
Horse breeding has fallen off approx
mately two thirds of the horses and
mules of the country, viz; Ohio, In
diana, Illinois Iowa Missouri, Okla
homa, Kansas Nebraska and North
and South Dakota. It has been esti-
mated that about 100000 horses
and mules must be broken to work
each year on farms to replace those
that die. In addition approximately
225,000 horses and mules are required
annually for requirements in cities
or other non agricultural work. Our
total production, surviving to working
age, has, however approximately but
100000. annually for the past five
years, or shortage Of 100000 head
annually. The surplus of horses has
been drawn upon heavily in conse-
quence, and the supply of efficient
drafters is now low.
In Wisconsin, horse and mules fell
off 28,018 in 1920 and 1884 in 1921.
leaving a total of 659,63O in 1922. On
January 1, 1923 according to figures
compiled by Paul o.. Nyhys, Agricul
tural Statistician of the department,
Wisconsin had 1000 mules and 643,-
900 horses or total of $4,000 head.
In 1915 there were 1874 pure bred
stations and 1899 grade and scrub
stations in Wisconsin, or a total of
1858. In 1922 pure bred sires number,
ed 958 and grade and scrub sires 293
a total or 1851 While the total mum
Der of sires of all kinds has decreased
materially, it is gratifying to note that
largely through the educational eff
fects of the stallion law, which Wis
consin was the first state to enact
the percentage of pure bred stations
has steadily increased In 1907 it was

A ROAD is A WONDERFUL THING

A ROAD is A WONDERFUL THING
A road is wonderful thing, and
roads are just as different as are the
people who travel them. Some, nara
and straight and smooth as a floor,
seem to invite speed. About them
there is nothing else inviting, no ex-
preston of hospitality, nothing that
says to us "Stay! Pause for little
while" Such road suggests only
speed. 1t seems to lead out of rather
than into, some given place. Always
the impression is on and away"
Other roads, not-quite so smooth,
yet good enough for all practical pur-
poses, lead us through pleasant places
They are bordered about with native
trees, schrubs, wild flowers, and vines
We note the sumac, the buckbush, it's
berries sometimes referred to as coral
berries, and the hard naples, all show
ing wondrous red at this season.
These roads seem to suggest that we
slow down, that we take time to look,
| to live, and to drink in the beauty such
as no artist can transfer to canvas.
| They may lead up hill and down,
| through fields and woodland, and over
country that is pleasing with its
| changes, but withal with a passing
panorama in which are presented
scores Of farms, each with its disting-
uishing characteristic, each with it's
pee . lar charm.
Then there is the little-traveled
road, the neighborhood highway or the
| lane, or it may be but little more than
path, through the prairie or wood
land. OF all the roads this is the most
| charming. To those whose lives have
been spent in the country, this road
holds an invitation well-nigh irresist-
able. It leads not out into the great,
busy, noisy world, but from it, and to
home where is quiet and rest and
where hospitality, real and unmistak-
able, is for all who come that way.
| He who travels only the broad turn
pike or the busy thoroughfare, knows
not the meaning of roads. Only those
vino journey quietly down a country
| lane leading to home out among the
fields and pastures, can appreciate the
| meaning Of the word. OF roads some
one has written as follows:
There are roads that go to the east
and west,
There are roads to the north and
south,
There are desert trails through the
arid lands
OF bitter parching drouth.
There are beaten tracks through the
jungle wilds,
There are paths through the marsh
and mere,
There are roads that lead to the whole
wide world,
So why should I stay here?
I think 1 will follow the living roads
| And see what they have to show,
For why should / stay in the same
dull place
When there's everywhere to go?
This little poem is beautiful, but
to my way of thinking it beckons the
wrong way. The real road, the road
that we enjoy, and which holds the
