The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
893 
Prospents for Form Horses 
There has been no recent noticeable 
change in the production of horses in this 
vicinity. A moderate number of colts are 
raised each year. 1‘ercheron sires being 
commonly used with native mares of all 
descriptions. While the demand is for 
horses of the draft, or semi-draft, type 
and good purebred sires are sufficiently 
numerous to be easily accessible nearly 
everywhere, the raising of colts has not 
been sufficiently profitable to displace the 
importation of farm chunks from the 
West. Carloads of these are being con¬ 
stantly brought in and disposed of to the 
farmers upon the hills. Good prices are 
paid for these. As a matter of opinion, 
the future holds out little hope for the 
raiser of “just horses.” While many of 
these will long he used, particularly upon 
rough and hill farms, the demand will not 
justify profitable prices for the one who 
raises more than his own needs require. 
The family driver will continue to be 
manufactured in Detroit and the real 
draft horse will be bred where it can be 
done more cheaply than upon the average 
New York farm. M. B. D. 
Tioga Co., N. Y. 
Horse breeding is not looking up in 
this section. Very few if any of our 
farms produce all the feed that is fed 
out on them, and more attention is being 
paid to raising more feed than to breeding 
more animals of any description, as the 
prices of all kinds of feed are still very 
high. I think the cost of feed has had 
more to do with the scarcity of colts than 
the automobiles or trucks have, as the 
horse prices range high and good ones 
are hard to find. f. q. white 
Westchester Co., N. Y. 
As everyone knows, the Morgan horse 
was the horse in this section up to 1S95 
or 1900, since which dealers have been 
bringing in heavy horses from Canada 
and the West. I’ercherons and Belgians, 
quite a good many of the latter breed 
of late, and a good many stallions of the 
breed are kept hereabout. They seem to 
be f ully as popular as the Percherons. 
The automobiles have practically killed 
the business of breeding and handling the 
driving horses. I think more horses are 
being raised at present than five years 
ago. The price of horses has dropped 
off quite perceptibly since the end of 
war, and it looks as if there would not 
be uny increase, at least in breeding. 
While we shall h ave to keep the horses 
I cannot see very much in it to encourage 
anyone to go into it to any great extent.
