A Hra The Minneapolis Journal la a recent isene states that Geo. P. Kellogg, of Northup, 111., has written a letter to that paper, enclosing a copy of the Waukegan Register, in which there appears over his signature a long article maintaining that the demoral ization in the horse market is about at an end and that there will be a horse famine. In a well sustained argument he shows that the hard times and the introduction of bicycles have not dis placed more than 1,500,000 horses out of a possible total 13,000,000 in the country. This was not a sufficient dis placement to have demoralized the market bad It not been lor the uni versal hue and cry that the horseless age was not at hand, that the knell of the horse had been sounded, and the consequent rush on the part of owners to dispose ol their surplus horses at any price. During the ensuing panic, horse breeding decreased about 90 per cent and the brood mares have been slaughtered . As the average age of a horse is about IX years, it is necessary that the stock should be inoroasod each year in the United States by about 1.000.000 new animals. As no where neur that number has been raised in tbe last few years, the nation ill wake up one of these days and find that it has hardly enough horses for its needs. Mr. Kellogg declares that tbe bicycles and motocyclcs will not drive the horse out, but that, like steam locomotion, they will geratly in crease bis uses. He reminds farmers that motocvcles are all right on well constructed roads with easy grades. but that for vears to coma the bulk of the primary moving of all the heavy articles of commerce must be done by horses. Mr. Kellogg eroes deeply into the subject and shows that tbe denior alization in the market is largely due to tbe system of selling horses at auction in large numbers. According to Mr. Kel'ogg, the price of all kinds of serviceable horses will soon be verv high, and the nation will discover that through its carelessness to man's most faithful servant, a great source of national wealth has received a blow that can not be recoupo rated in this generation. He predicts that be fore the bad consequences of tbe care lessness are done with, many Industries particularly cottou raising, will be al most paralyzed for want of horses and mules. The Journal interviewed a leading horsedealer in Minneapolis, J. D. Bar rett, as to bis opinions concerning Mr. Kellogg's statements, and that gentle man admitted that though he is one of those whom Mr. Kellogg charges with bearing the market, tbe statements are substantially correct. He con tinues that bicycles and electric cars did not displace so large a number of horses, though the number that they did displace is what has caused a de moralization of the market. Bicycles and motocycles are not going to cause the horse to to be deprived of its usefulness, but in the end will cause a greater use of horses instead of a dis use. "I am willing to admit," he says, "that auction dealers, like our firm, have had a eood deal to do with de- m0ralieinfir the horse market. We acted in the interests of tbe buyers rather than the seller and it is our object to effect sales and get along with a small profit." Mr. Barrett then proceeds to show why the production of horses has fallen off during the last several years through this policy on the part of horsebuyers. It costs in the neighbor hood of S125 to $130 to raise a first-class five-year-old horse, and this horse is now bringing in the neighborhood of $60, or about one-half of its cost. The j result is that many breeders have gone out of the business, and bo doeso't tnink it an overestimate to say that breeding has decreased 90 per cent in the horse country. Horse- breeding has stopped and tbe best horses are being shipped to Europe. It is almost impossible to get good lumber horses. They used to lake nothing less than five or six years old, but now they have to be satisfied with four-year-olds. Next year there will be no four-year-olds. It will be the same story next year, and for a num ber of years. Already prices are going up in the east, and within a year there will not be enough horses in the country to do the work that is expected of them. Mexico is also making a Dig orait on American horses for cavalry service, but it is hard work to supply them. The Inter view is finished with Mr. Barrett's statement, "you can put me down for a prediction that within two year, horses will be higher in the United States than ever before." SoMers for Glass.

'This is an urgent call, and must be answered. That I may be able to do this in a way that will be ac ceptable and carry weight, I ask every Indian war veteran to send me his age, name and address, and the name of the captain of the company served in. This is not asking too much. We must have this information. Camp com manders, surviving officers, of companies or regiments, and county newspapers can assist this worthy cause, bend in all the information von have in our possession. The original number of these veterans was in the neighborhood of 5000. The great majority have passed away. How many survive is what we are anxious to find out. We will be able to get a pension bill through congress if veterans will write at once. Please do so. This is money in your pocket, and it will aid in benefiting your comrades.
