Fewer Mules And
Horses Are Born
In Past Z Years

There has been 4 marked decrease
in the number of horse and mule
colts foaled in the last seven years,
reports the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
While the number of horses and
mules more than two years old de-
ereasd about per cent from 1920
to 1925, the number of colts under
two years OF age decreased 81 per
cent. The census of 1925 showed
reduction of - per cent in the ratio
of colts under two years old to all
horses and mules since 1920.
Reports from the farms of cores
pondents of the department show
that II horse and mule colts were
foaled during 1925 per 1000 head of
all horses and mules on their farms
January /, 1926. Comparable fig
ures are ~ colts in 1924, 40 in 1923,
60 in 1929. Il in 1921, s3 in 1920 and
81 in 1919.
The department SAYS that 'uniesS
more colts are raised in future years
than were raised in 1925, either the
number of horses and mules on
farms will eventually fall to ap-
proximatelv onehalf the present
number on farms, or their average
life must exceed Is years
While the downward trend in colt
production continued unabated in
the south central states and the
range country in 1925, an increase
III the number Of colts foaled is re-
ported for the corn belt and north
