UNCLE SANS LIVESTOCK,
He Has Invested S3,OOO,Ooo in Mule and
Horse Flesh

Horse Flesh.
Since the'beginning of the war there
have been purchased for army pur-
poses by the government Is, 900 mules
and 1000 horses. The total number
OF these animals now in use by the
troops in the field and at the several
army camps is not far from II, 900
mules and 1000 horses. With the
further equipment of volunteers under
the second call purchases continue to
be made, and it is quite probable that
within few weeks this four-footed
army will number 10000. These will
cost in round numbers So, 900, 900.
Assistant Quartermaster Charles P.
Miller, who is in charge of this de-
partment, has agents in several Sec
tions of the country looking for young
horses and mules that are fit for army
duty.
"The attempts to corner the mule
Market" said Lieutenant Colonel
Miller, 'have all been Intellectual.
Dealers around st. Louis have tried it
several times, but as soon as this is
done we have ceased to purchase in
that market and transferred our opera
tons to other cities. The result has
been that mules could eventually be
bought in that market for less than
the original prices"
isT The mules erendezvoused general
| ~ in, the vicinity of some of the army
camps, and are trained there for SER
vice in dragging the heavy transport
tation wagons. During the civil war
each wagon was given six mules, but
it is found preferable by the quarter
masters department now to drive
many of them in teams of four. The
price paid for the animals depends up
on the position they are fit for in the
team. The wheel mules, which must
be larger and stronger than the others,
cost the government about $l18. The
'swings" Of second span in a team Of
six, cost from $98 to $lO5, the leaders
being lighter and not necessarily sc
strong, about $S7 head.
The principal centres that the gov
eminent depends upon for its mule:
are st. Louis, Kansas City, and north
ern Texas. Some have been purchased
in Chicago and some in Atlanta.
In fitting out those heavy team.
the government has taken new de
parture in carts, which is thought tc
be an improvement over the carts O
the civil war. Then wheels with mar
row tires, hardly more than two in
ches, were used. These narrow tire
cut the roads up badly, and the pass
ing Of long army train was suficien
to badly demolish any ordinary countr
highway. For the service in Cub
and the South Lieutenant-C olone
Miller has some wagons mounted o.
mammoth trucks of wood. They ar
made in sections from oak and boun
together by an iron tire twelve inche
broad. Then the rear trucks ar
placed on axles that prevent thei
tracking the forward trucks. Thi
arrangement is regarded as especial
adapted for the soft roads in Cubs
, where the rain sometimes makes tn
thoroughfares we'll nigh impossible
Army wagons mounted on these truck
will have the effect of packing the so
down harder rather than cutting it NJ
Teams of four mules are driven thel
instead of teams of six.

An Excellent Silver Polish.

Take pound Of best whiting and
five cents worth of rouge powder,
both to be had at any chemists. Put
the whiting on sheet of brown pa
per on table, bruise every particle,
and then sprinkle the rouge over. Rub
together with a knife till the whole
becomes pale pink powder, which in
use and appearance cannot be told
from the best plate powder. If the
silver is furnished, use piece of damp
flannel, but under ordinary circum-
stances use dry and polish with cha
mois leather.
Silver and electro-plated goods
should be wet as little as possible. In
washing use good soap only.

Housewives ought not to use the

that the food may leave greasy spots,
