Hitting hulls should be, confined to

HORSES SHOW
DECLINE IN II S.
Homes In thin country reached
their maximum In 1910 and since
thou have been gradually decreasing
This iclates to tie. supply of horses
ou farms and ranches, tho gradual
docreasc of which In attributed to
motor vehicles. That tho decline of
the horse on farms In not due merely
to tho uso of passenger automobiles
Is Indicated by a survey recently
undertaken by approximately 3G,000
crop reporter In nil sections of tho
country. More than 49,000 farmers
who uso motor trucks on their farms.
In many cases tho Introduction or a
truck on a farm Indicates provision
for Increased hauling ruthor than an
actual reduction In tho number of
horses ustfd.
Tho estimated number of horses
on farms and ranches January 1, was
21,109,000, a decrease of 373,000
head, or 1.7 per cent, In a jjonr. Tlio
total value of these animals this year
Is estimated at 11,992,542,000 as
against $2,111,897,000 Inst year, an
average value per head for horses of
all ages of 194.39, compared with
198.15 a year ago, Tho average
value per head 10 years ago was
$108.03.
A TKHJCTI) TO tiii: cow
Most potent of all single Influ
ences In tho building of thin, tho
mightiest nation In history, Is tho
cow. Hor sons drew tho plows
which first cultivated tho land of
the new world; hauled to market
tho products or tho fields, and with
slow energy, moved tho chatties
and household goods beyond- thu
mountains to now homes In tho
farther west.
They supplied tho beet which Is
thu food of Anglo-Saxon, a race
that was never conquered since his
tory began. They furnished tho
shoes of tho pioneers who trod tho
unknown wilds and mado of them
tho farmsteads and cities of our
present enlightenment. They gavo
tho clothes and robes to protect
tho pioneer against tho destroying
blast ot winter and mado commerce
posslblo beforo tho railroad was.
They covered tho chair upon which
ho sat, filled tho mattress upon
which ho slept and glued together
tho furniture ho used.
Tho old cow Is tho mother ot tho
whole bovlno and foster mother of
half tho human race. From tho
roadside weed sho manufactures tho
most nourishing of human foods.
Sho Is tho ready aid ot tho farmer.
