4 h f Danger of Horse Famine. From The Canadian Farm. ‘ Not a few are apprehensive of a horse sfainine in Ontario next spring. Good Mprices and a keen demand have caused afarmers tosell nearly every horse that was worth selling, and it looks now as if :there would not be enough horses in the :rcountry to do the spring seeding. iWhether this be true or not, it is a safe guess that not for \many years has the I country been so free of marketable horses .as at the present time. The bulk of the rhorses, workers and drafters for the ' imcst part, have gone west, where they will be used for seeding the 1910 crop, ‘ which promises to greatly exceed in area . ‘ : any former one. So great has been the k ‘ westerndemand, that horses are becom- -‘ ing a very scarce commodity in the east, ‘ especially good ones. There are quite .a number of the nondeseript kind to be . found, but even _ these are becoming ; -'scarce and are selling at profitable f 3; prices. True, there are numbers of young :animals on the way. But will these be . able to supply the place of those sold ofi 1 the farm ? If not, it looks as if there i. may not be enough horses to go reund j" when the busy spring season comes. Whatever he does in the way of sell- .ing horses, the farmer should aim to keep v: the brood mares at home, especial! y the :. good ones. But everything goes when prices are high, and under the very temp- , - ting ofiers many farmers have *' had for 3 -: them a large number of females have i {gone out of the country. . This is “ kil- ling the goose that lays thegolden egg." "How can the horse supply be‘kept up if :the breeding stock is sold off the farms? '. This is the most serious situation in‘ the horse business at the present time. Hun- v-dreds of good brood mare havegoue out - of the country, which means a loss to the :efarmer and to the horse industryas'w‘ell. HM. ~. 01"." . “4’0.

It may do | impossible to guard against every case of 1 what might to have no place in‘a respect- I able publication, but any who have ai , regard for their owncredit and the good r I; of the community in which they reside” ‘ ought to rigidly exclude all advertise- ments which promise great things for lit- tle service. Lotteries are illegal in Can- ala, and yet even now and then we have worthless swindlers from the other side and some in our own fair Canada, proclaimin : their wares through the col- .nns of ne.vs:iapers that claim to be pat- erns of excel lencc. Of course such vag- bonds'can pay any price for these ad- ' q‘rtisements but it is scarcer the part model newspapers to encourage and partners with them.
