City buyers of draft horses are reâ€" fusing to buy because the quality of the horses available will not meet the standards, Harry McNair, horse comâ€" missioner of the Chicago Union Stock Yards, informs Mr. Dinsmore. So acute is the shortage, however, he says, that buyers have been forced to accept some inferior types, Highâ€" type draft horses will give the farmer the best service in the field without depreciating in value before their sale in the city draft horse market when they are from four to five years old, Mr. Dinsmore finds. horses, Mr. Dinsmore, in an article in the current issue of the Universal Farmer, notes a tendency toward inâ€" creased use of mules for farm work. stitational by the supreme court and That the Lincoln monument at} Springfield has increased more than | 89 times in value was graphically reâ€"| vealed in an invoice of parks andj memorials now under state super\'i-‘ sion made recently by the state deâ€"| partment of public works and buildâ€" | ings.
