6orse Department.



If the Hull army bill had passed 1t
would have been necessary for the
government to buy at least u, 900 horses
and $1,000 mules, but under the present
temporary reorganization very little adj
ditional live stock will be necessary for the
army. According to the regulations each
regiment of 100 men requires an average
of l25 animals. Outside of the cavalry
they usually figure one mule or horse for
every ten men.
When the war broke out there were
only about 6000 horses and 2200 mules in
the army, but during the summer 10000
mules and $4,000 horses were purchased.
When the volunteers are mustered out
the war department will keep the
"critters," mostly at Macon. Atlanta and
Savannah, and distribute them as they
are needed. American horses do not
thrive in our new possessions. 1t takes
them long time to become acclimated.
The heat, the malaria and the insect
pests are more of a trial to beasts than to
men. Texas ponies, or brOncOs, how
ever, do very well in Cuba and Puerto
Rico, and 500 have been shipped over to
Cuba since the close of the war. Three
or four hundred have been shipped to
Puerto Rico. Any man who will GO
down into Cuba and raise mules and
ponies will make a fortune, because the
draft animals have been almost eXtermi-
mated during the war. and great many
are needed upon the plantations, as well
as by the militaryforces. The best stock
for that climate is the hardy little horse
that is found in Texas and New Mexico.
The government has purchased 600
native horses in the Philippine islands.
They are tough, small animals Of the
bronco size and style, and are called
griflins. For heavy teaming the water
buffalo is used-a domesticated ANNA
that resembles an OK more than the
American bison. Three hundred mules
were shipped to Honolulu two months
ago to be seasoned for use in the Philip.
pines, and will be sent forward very
shortly. There are GOO more at San
Francisco awaiting shipment. A cargo
will be taken to Honolulu in a few days
and be allowed to remain there for two
or three months to recover from the
voyage and become accustomed to the
climate.
According to the statistics of the agri-
cultural department on Jan. |, 1893,
there were lG,23S, 900 horses in the
United States, representing a value Of
Sl,O07 SOB ,G36, which was an average of
about $50 each. On Jan. |, 1899, there
were only 1861 600 horses, valued at
S41S,3G2, 900, or an average of $3l u
head.
On Jan. l, 1893, we owned 2,3l5.0OO
mules, valued at $l75, 100000, and last
January only 2.l90, 2S2, valued at S9G,-
100000, the decrease in the value per
head in six years being from SO to S4i.
Texas owns the largest number of mules
and New York the largest number of
horses. Pennsylvania, because of the
coal and mining industries, has more
than ten times as many mules as New
York. Illinois CONES second in the list
of horses and Missouri second in the list
of mules.-Chicago Record.
