 crease of value, so that the aggregate of horse values, notwithstand- 

 ing the general tendency to decline, has slightly advanced. No other 

 species of farm animals shows much increase of value. 



In New England there is considerable interest in raising trotting 

 stock. The stock laws of the Southern States, which require fencing 

 in of stock, have resulted in the increase of horse raising, at the ex- 

 pense of other stock, as horses require a smaller area of pasture, and 

 better repay expenses of raising. The South, however, does not yet 

 raise all the horses required, making a market still for many horses
