STILL ANOTHER HORSE COMPANY. 
An Easy String of Suckers.

In reading an article on page S& by To assessments, approximately. 50 - 00 
J. Grant Morse regarding the farmers’ Total .$159.00 
horse company, I was forcibly reminded By f rom 1 Yio^scs Void! !!! ’.!! ooioo 
of a similar experience we had in 1890. 
During the Winter of that year an agent 
for a noted importer and dealer in 
horses had on exhibition in our town 
By proceeds from colts raised.00.00 
Total . 00.00 
I lost the two colts I raised in one sea¬ 
son. 
This leaves a balance of $159, showing 
two imported French horses, one a black the cost of experience and education 
Coach horse called Fashion, coming four along this line. In writing these facts 
years old the other a Percheron called I have to expose my weakness in being 
y . . , . ... caught by one of the schemes planned 
Artiste, coming five years old. After sev- for farmers> but I do so with the same 
eral weeks of canvassing and soliciting object as Mr. Morse, for the benefit of 
the agent secured a goodly number of the readers of The R. N.-Y. 
farmers’ names on his subscription list Oi leans Co., N. Y. R. t. smith. 
for stock in the horses. The price to be 
paid tor the horses was $4,500, in shares Fits in Pigs. 
of $100 each. Nearly all of the farm- I bought four Chester White pigs from 
, , ... . , , , , , mv neighbor; their age, I think, was about 
ers who subscribed were induced to take seven weeks, straight nice pigs when I got 
twn cWes each or T think at first the them, but soon after when I fed them 
two snares eacn, or i tninK at nr.t i e thpy would be taken with a choking cough. 
agent would not sell less than two shares 0n g espocially after these coughs was taken 
to a person. The agent could ligure out with what i call spasms; he would go 
down, kick and shiver as though dying. 
Since that two of them act stiff and sore; 
at times it is hard work for them to get 
to the trough. I am keeping them in a 
cow stable where it is warm, and take all 
, pains to keep them clean and dry. I am

the income from the horses, id after 
deducting the expenses it showed a very 
nice profit, on paper, for the sharehold¬ 
ers. After the agent ’d all of the

made personal calls upon the subscrib- filings and bran till just lately I also fed 
• .1 i n on the start a stock food, but thought It 
ers, announcing the stock all taken and m jght lie the cause of their coughing, so 
appointing a meeting ef the shareholders stopped feeding it. At first I examined from $400 up. Address all correspondence'to 
shortly at a hotel in town to organize pigs for black teeth, which I found in all; -O. N. WILSON, Kittanning, Pa.

the company, also requesting ana in and w hen thev became stiff and sore I gave 
sisting upon a settlement with the sub- them a dose‘of turpentine. They are, I 
scribers for their shares. Unlike the think, going to get along all right now, as 
scheme related hv Mr Morse of the the - v are doin £ wcl1 and have made £° od 
scheme leiatea L)y iur. iuoise oi i growth for all of their sickness; they are 
joint note, which is a later and more about three months old. Can you tell me 
effective plan, each subscriber only paid what was the matter and if what I did for 
for the shares of stock that lie took, them helped them or not? Please give 
either by cash or notes, one-half due in 
one year, with interest, the balance in 
two years. 
In due time the meeting was held and 
the company organized, officers elected, _ ^_ _ 
a manager chosen to keep and care for meal to the slop if it is made with water; 
the horses at $600 per year, and an omit the flaxseed meal if slop is made with 
, , .5 .11 i,„ij _ milk. Mix limewater in the slop, as so 
assessment levied upon the shareholders often advised here. a. s. a. 
remedy for trouble. F. a. p. 
New York. 
The fits are purely due to overfeeding 
and lack of exercise. Black teeth do no 
harm. Pigs do not need bleeding. Reduce 
the food and increase the outdoor exercise. 
Add ground (screened 1 oats and flaxseed 
to raise money to carry on the business, 
and the horse company was fairly 
launched, for the improvement of the 
stock of our county as a business ven¬ 
ture, for the benefit of our town, also to 
increase the wealth of the shareholders. 
Before the notes came due they were 
assigned or turned over to the son of 
the dealer for collection, and he is the 
one who figures in all of the subsequent 
transactions. It was also known that 
there was about one-third of the stock 
(15 cr 18 shares) still held by him, and 
on which he was paying assessments. 
This caused after about two years one- 
half or more of our members to with¬ 
draw from the company and commence 
an action against the dealer or son to 
recover damages. After a trial in the 
county court they obtained a verdict in 
their favor amounting to about $30 per 
share for those that went into it. The 
few members left in the company con¬ 
tinued the business a year or two longer, 
and when the dealer’s son generously 
offered to take back the horses anil to 
keep them free of charge until he could 
sell ihem (and that as soon as possible) 
for a fair price and return to us our 
share of the proceeds we gladly ac¬ 
cepted the offer and shipped him the 
horses, sending a man with them. The 
proceeds have not been received yet, 
after 16 years of waiting. Perhaps 
there were not any. We have sent sev¬ 
eral letters of inquiry, but could not get 
a£j answer from him. We have been 
an easy string of suckers. We ought to 
have had the assistance of The R. N.-Y. 
years ago. The business was a losing 
one from the beginning. We never re¬ 
ceived enough from the service fees to 
pay for the keep of the horses. We were 
continually paying assessments. We 
raised a few colts. The members had to 
pay the same service fee as others. The 
Percheron proved to be a poor foal-get¬ 
ter, and should have been exchanged 
for another one, according to the con¬ 
tract. 
It will be remembered that the horse 
market was at a low ebb about the time 
our company existed (except for com¬ 
pany horses). Perhaps other companies 
have done better. There have been sev¬ 
eral formed in this part of the State, 
but as far as I can learn they have been 
a losing investment for the farmers. 
They seem glad to get out or sell out 
after a short trial. To illustrate the ex¬ 
cessive price charged by dealers to com¬ 
panies, but recently a dealer called upon 
a friend of mine living in another part 
of the county and tried to induce him 
to help form a company and buy a colt 
the dealer had for sale for $1600. My 
friend refused to help him, hut before
