Officers of the German Arm More Suecessful in Solving Problem Than Auy Others —— v | WORK ON A FINE SYSTEM | —_— | Our Horse Population About 21.000.000 by the Census. Russia Has 25,000,000 i l‘ The problem of supplying the cavairy | with new horses to take the places of those grown dld or disabled In service, isays the author of “The Cavalry | Horse,” is better solved In Germany | than in any other country. The foundation of the solution In { every land is a thorough knowledge of ! the “horse population.” Our own cen- | sus report shows more than 21,000,000 | horses of all sorts and ages. Our army 5| needs 8000 annually for all purposes and buys them on contract, paying an average' price of $75. The cavalry | horses are the best of these. They are | bought when five years old and the price for them is above the average. 'nver‘n price of $75. The cavalry man has his own animal and trains it | himself. | Russia, the only nation which has | more horses than America, counts 25~ 1 000,000 in Europe and Asia. The Rus- slan Government buys very young ! horses and trains them hard, with the | exception of those for Cossack regi- | ments. The Cossacks are master train- ers and educate their own horses. Great Britain and France each has 3,000,000 horses. France, with an annual “re- mount” in time of peace of 15,000 horses had to buy in America In the war of 1871 | GREAT BRITAIN'S SUPPLY SHORT Great Britain uses only about 23000 remounts a year and does not supply every cavalryman with a horse. In- { deed, for 24,000 cavalrymen in the Brit- |ish army there are but 16,000 horses. | This proportion Is maintained on the theory that a certain percentage of the | men are always sick or otherwise unfit | for duty and do not need the mounts. | Austria has a horse population of | nearly 4,000,000, but the Government | maintairs its own breeding farms for cavalry horses. In Germany the mat- ter of cbtaining remounts has been re- duced to an almost perfect system un- der Government paternalism. The Government provides fine-bred stal- Hons at convenlent posts throughout | the country and in return for this serv- | ice every horse owner is required to | bring his animal to the local “horse muster” once in ten years. From the muster are exempt stallions, horses un- der 4 years old or those which are blind in both eyes, mares with foal and horses working in mines. The muster serves to” show exactly the available “horse strength” of the nation. HORSES BOUGHT BY OFFICERS. Horses are bought every summer by commissions of veterinary surgeons and army officers. They pay about $180 | each for horses between 3 and 4 years of age, and send them on trial to four i depots, where they are kept one year under sclentific training to develop the | characteristics necessary in cavalry | horses. Nine thousand are needed each year, but 5 per cent more are bought. They run free in paddocks and sheds on the depot farms, are groomed ten minutes a day and fed the regular ra- tion of twelve pounds of hay, seven and a half of oats and fifteen of straw each day, with green food part of the year. Each regiment has a certain number of horses condemned each year and sends a squad to the depot for an equal number of new horses. There is al- ways a reserve of several thousand in | the Covernment depots and in an | emergency a considerable reserve force can be mounted without delay and without the uncertainty due to buying on contract. ———— One of Speaker Cannon’s. Speaker Cannon, at one of the din- ners that he gives In Wi | (these dinners are strictly limited to | one hour), talked about mean rich men. | “The meanest rich man in Illinois,™ | he said, “lives in Vermillion County. | He 1s a bachelor, and we'll call him Crust. One day the superintendent of | the local cemetery told his lot sales- | man to call on Crust and see if he couldn’'t work off a cemetery lot on him. The salesman set out with a | hopeless air, and in a half hour he was | back again. ‘No go,” he sald. ‘Couldn’t get him, eh?” said the superintendent. ‘No,” sald the salesman. ‘He admitted that I reasoned well, and that the lots | were fine ones, but he said that if he | bought he mightn't get the value of his money in the end.” ‘Why," said the ! superintendent, ‘there’s no fear of that. The man will die some day, won't he? “Yes,” said the salesman, ‘but he says he might be lost at sea.”"—Collier's Weekly. —_———— , The Way He Said It. The young wife sat weeping bitterly. Her best friend stole softly in and put her arms about her, saying: “What's the matter, Dolly?™ “Oh, T am so miserable.,” she wailed. “Well, what has caused it?" “I-1-1 asked Totsy this m-m-morn- | ing if he w-w-would marry again if I d-d-d-died, and he——* “What! Did he tell you he would > “N-n-ne, that's what's the matter. He j-j-just looked at me as if I had accused him of b-b-being crazy and sald in the awfulest way: ‘Well, I should say not!" And Oh, Kitty, it { was the way he said ft—boo-ho-hoo!™ —Baltimore American. : ———— Production of Cork.
