 horses were included in the later inventories and to 

 the depreciation of all classes of live stock. "TThe 

 low spot was reached in 1893 and '94, but the de- 

 pression was evident in 1890. 



The records in the Percheron Society of America 

 offices show that Mr. Kellogg had between 30 and 

 40 mares by 1890, and that he raised 24 stallions 

 and 28 mares of his own breeding between 1883 and
