Building of a Horse Market
As has been previously pointed
out in The Herald, Alliance has the
location, ns to railroad facilities
and territory, to become one of the
great , horse markets of the west.
With proper organization, progress
ive management and UNITED EX
PORT, it can be pushed rapidly to
the front, and thus benefit breeders
of northwestern Nebraska and ad
joining states as well as the busi
ness interes'te of this city.
To show what may be accomplish
ed by proper effort we wish to re
fer to Orand Island, recognized now
as the leading horse market west of
St. IiOuiis, not excepting South Om
whn, which is an important horse
market. Mr. llradstreet of Jlrad
street & Clemmons. furnished The
Herald the fDllowing figures regard
ing one of their recent sales which
are now held every two weeks, and
weekly during a part of tho year:
Number of horses and mules sold,
850.
Number of buyers, !)0.
Average number of head per buy
er, 9 4-9.
Total proceeds of sale. $66,01 l.bD.
Average price paid per head, $77.00
When it is taken into considera
tion that the sale of the Grand Is
land Horse and Mule Co. amount .to
about the same as those of Hrad
street & Clemmons, it will bo seen
that the business of the Grand Is
land horse market runs into the
jniillions of dollars in the course of
a year.
Right here we wish to remark that
while the business of -the two firms
above named Is entirely separate,
they do not knork eah other but
co-crerate in such a way as to bo
mutually helpful. One of Uie fint
things necessary to building up a
gremt horse market at Alliance is a
pulling together by all parties con
nected with the enterprise.
Alliance is far enough away from
Grand Island to avoid competition
that might seriously divide the bus
iness. A permanent horse market
here will promote the horse indus
try of the northwest. More and bet
ter horees will be raised. We want
to see Alliance made the Grand Is
land of northwest Nebraska.
It is not the location of the last
named city that has made it a
great horse market. Location is
merely Incidental thereto. It was
the enterprise and Intelligent effort
of the promoters that did the busi
ness. The same kimd of enterprise
and effort will establish the same
kind of market here.
What The Herald Recommends
We recommend the organization
of a horse and mule company with
sufficient capital Btock to put In
ample equipment of barns, yards,
Bale pavilion, etc. When this has
been done, or while the equipment
is being provltled, give sufficient
publicity to bring in the stuff to be
sold from all over th' northwest
country, from Nebraska, South Da
tota, Montana, Wyoming and Colo
rado. Iet it be understood once
for all that the success and per
manency of the enterprise is as
sured; and It will be If all knocking
by persons who ought to be Inter
ested, can be changed frnto boosting.
The success of the siles already
I held has demonstrated that Alliance
can just fh well be made a leading
hcr?e maikt as not. Let every
body boost and all pull together and
success will be certain.

HOG CHOLERA SERUM CHEAPER
The use of Hog Cholera Serum is
now within the reach or every hog
breeder in Nebraska according to
the following article by Dr. Gain of
the State Farm.
"July 1st the price of hog choleia
serum and virus was reduced to one
cent per cifblc centimeter. This Is
lee than serum Is sold for in any
state in the corn belt. This la made
possible by the liberality of the laBt
legislature appropriating $15,000 for
the work in serum production and
also an additional $15,000 as a sub
sidy fund. After August 1st we
shall discontinue the practice of re
. funding for serum not used. Owing
to the possible deterioration of ser
um through standing in the sun or
In other places where it is subject
to high temperatures this ruling is
made necessary. We do this for
the protection of the users of ser
um." OVER-HEATING HORSES
During the past month there have
been hundred) of horses in the state
of Nebraska die from over-heating.
The unusually warm weather coming
Just when everybody Is real busy,
caught a good many men who were
so anxious to save their crops that
they overlooked the possibility of
injuring or losing their horses.
Doubtlesa if the hot weather con
tinues for the next month there will
be many more horses go the same
route.
Like most other afflictions this
can he handled) better by preventa
tive measures than by curative ones.
It la -well on a hot day to take a
imllk can or barrel full of water
along to the field, and allow the
horses each to drink a gallon or
two several times during the hotter
portion or the day. The water has
the same effect upon the horses
that it has upon the human. It
neems like a gocd deal of bother to
do this, yet it may mean the saving
of a horse, and at )eat it means a
good deal cf comfort to them. In
the case cf a horse that naturally
does not fand the heat very well,
If the sweHt begin to dry in all at
once, Jt Is well to stop the animal
and put ancther in its place. If the
afftioted horse goes until he drops
over, the first thing to do is to un
harness him and et the other ani
mals of the team away, so as to let
air In, then get e.old water and ice
If possible to pack upon the an mini's
poll. Cold water poured along the
Fpinal column and over the rest of
the body tends to lower the fever,
which is often up to 105 decrees.
Whltkey, 6 ox., in a pint of water
Is recommended a a stimulant or
one-half ounce carbonate of ammon
ia in a pint of water. A long-necked
bottle will prove useful in getting
the medicine back In the throat
where the animal will swallow it.
Rubbing the limbs with camphor is
also beacQeial.
