The Splendid Animal Still Attracts
Attention.
There was a time, not so long ago,
when the automobile attracted more
attention than the horse. Many retail
business firms used automobiles for the
delivery of goods more because of the
advertising value of the outfit than for
any other reason. Now no more atten
tion is paid to an automobile than to a
street car.
On the other hand, a fine pair of
horses or a single horse, well harness
ed, well groomed and seemingly con-
scious of beauty and strength, attracts
decided attention in the large cities.
In the driveways of our largest cities
the automobile attracts no attention
whatever, and those who occupy the
seats often have an appearance of mar
tyrs to their environment. The fact
that they are begoggled and beswathed
with unattractive attire excites more
of a feeling of pity than of envy.
Those who love comfort rather than
speed and the opportunity to get some
idea of the outlying districts rather
than to catch a dim glimpse of them as
they flash past still cling to the horse.
Horse Vehicle Business Is 0. K.
American vehicle manufacturers and
dealers are commencing to realize that
the horse drawn vehicle industry has
not been affected by the war, crops and
polities in any greater degro than oth-
er staple lines of business, such as
food, clothing, etc. They know that on
Jan. 1. 1915. the horse population of
this country was 21.195,000 (not in
eluding the Missouri mule), nt an aver
age value of $103-33. meaning an in
crease of 200.000 head for the year
This would indicate that there is
room for both the horse and the auto-
mobile in the general scheme of life
and that there is no question but what
the horse will continue to remain the
prime mover on the farm

He Is Still on the Job In Many Differ-
ent Ways.
In the days when the automobile
first got to going good there were free
predictions that within a few years
the horse would be one with Nineveh
and Tyre, the dinosaur and the Pop-
ulist party and other extinct species.
But if such a time is coming it seems
even more distant now than it did at
the time it was first mentioned. It is
true that many of the first families
have discarded coachmen and high
steppers for chauffeurs and high roll-
ers, but the horse is still on the job
in a hundred different ways and with
the supply hardly up to the demand.
