mules, valued at more than 2 bil1:

development of the automotive
industry in the United States, the
production of work animals -has
increased in recent years and Joday
there is said to be a good
market for the best stock. Well
raised c^raft horses have demonstrated
their value and they are
in constant demand.
In the Southern States mules
are largely used in place of horses
for farm work and good mules
bring good prices, notwithstanding
the business depression. At
East St. Louis. 111., a famous mule
market, carload aftar carload has
been shipped out ontaining
mules that bring from $800 to
$900 a pair. Many of these are
destined for the sugar and tobacco
plantations of Cuba. Porto
Rico and other countries, where
mules can stand the heat much
better than horses.
The horse has been man's beast
of burden for many centuries
and his scope of usefulness is
wide. More than 90 per cent
of all farming operations in the
United States is carried on with
animal power, and although the
motor truck and automobile have
usurped the place of the horse in
the larger cities and towns, there
are still many lines of work in
which the horse excels the motor.
For short hauls and where frequent
stops must be made in delivering
goods, the horse drawn
vehicle is more economical, and
this accounts for the milk, bakery
and similar industries retaining
their animal drawn vehicles for
delivery work, even though the
longer hauls* and the bigger loads
are handled by motor truck.
In some large cities the trend
aeems to be moving back again
to the horse for hauling work,
because larger transportation
eompanies engaged in handling
both motor and horse drawn traffic
have found from experience
that animals do better for certain
.^glasses of lioJiYVy.wgrk than ino,
tors.. For large, heavy loads and
long hauls the motor trucks are
superior, but all of the traffic in
the cities is not of this nature,
and where trucks haye been relied
on exclusively to handle all
classes of transportation the cost
oCoperation and upkeep has been
found to be excessive, under certain
circumstances.
In the city of Chicago, where
many of the most-traveled streets
are crossed by canals or waterways,
requiring bridges, horse
drawn vehicles were found to be
b(st for delivery work, for when
frequent stops were necessary,
^??a1 It in A.
uir auci uuiinuiiipiKuii ui mv ??u
tor vehicles was greatly increased,
while the service performed
was diminished by reason of the
delays and lpss of time.
The great majority of horses
of course are used on the farms
and here there are many reasons
why some farhiers prefer animal
power to tractor power. To begin
with, many farmers raise
their own work stock and in such
cases no depreciation need be figured
on the work stock, for they
perpetuate themselves, whereas
power farming machinery wears
out after a few years' use and depreciation
must be figured into
the cost.
All an animal gets for its labor
is its feat) and care, and most
farmers grow their own feed, so
the cost is not usually figured,
even though it would bring in a
considerable., sum each year if
sold. Another contribution made
by animals, in addition to their
power, is the value of the fertilizer
which they produce. It is estimated
that the fertilizer constituents
contained in the annual
excreta from a growing colt is
wonn ar ieasr $00, wnne inar j
from a full grown animal will.
. be worth $88, and from tests
made it is considered that this
fertiliser, when applied to the
fields, will increase the crop yield
$82 a year in the case of the colt
and $106 for a mature horse.
Congress set aside $250,000
to be used during 1921 in improving
the quality and increasing
.the number of horses of the type
* needed for army use. These animals
may generally be divided
into two classes?a . well bred
type' of riding animal ranging
from 1,000 to 1,150 pounds in
weight, and second, a rather
drafty type of active mare showing
a lot of quality with good
neck and shoulders, weighing
. from 1,150 to 1,300 pounds. The
breeding committee of the Amer
/ .
. ' "*
ican Bemount association, qaade
up of soine of the most prominent
horsemen and breeders in the
country, has entered enthusiastically
into the army's program
for the improvement of the American
horse and will give the army
_ t: i'i a ?. if- ' --
iuc ueueiu 01 us pracucai experience.
American horses have been of
excellent quality, generally, and
for working capacity and other
qualities compare favorably with
those of other parts of the world,
in some districts the quality of
the animals br?d has been of exceptionally
high standard, due to
the qse of purebred sires and the
care taken in developing the
young animals. Racing, either
professional' or as a pure sport,
hps been carried on in many parts
of the United States for a long
time, and the riding, driving, polo
and other types of horses produced
have always shown to good
advantage when placed in com- 1
petition with animals from other
parts of the world. The United
States has the area, the climatic
conditions ami the skilled horsemen
necessary to breed and raise
all classes of horses, and the impetus
given to animal breeding
through the activity of the war
department, promises to result
in the production of may more
thousands of animals of fine quality
and training.
