RIDES FIFTY
HORSES DAILY

| Iumsc-3 from all sections of the
Rocky mountain region are pur
chased fcr European export at dif
ferent stockyards daily and many
o.'lier hundreds are rejected. Each
animal must he mounted and ridden
as part of the inspection and noted
rulers from many western states
are employed in the work. Well
known "busters" who have won
cbanuiicuships in the past now are
riding a3 many as fifty horses a
day.
Instead of the open range or
t!ie raddcck in view of cheering
crowds, they ride in a narrow roof
ed enclosure with a critical insipect
or and one or two assistants the
only spectators. Several mat
tresses ore fastened at either &nd
of the enclosure to soften the fall
of an occasional fear-blinded -ani
mal and his rider. Several rid
ers have been hurt and one recent
ly was killed.
Tne supply of "gun fodder," as
the riders call the horse3, seems
ui ending. The standard of re
quirements has been lowered some
what when receipts began falling ofl
and hemes are being accepted now
that were rejected formerly. Ship
ments continue to be heavy and
weekly purchases often run into the
thousands.
