THE HORSE IN BATTLE.
How Those That Are Killed Are Dis
posed Of

poS'b D's
The thousands OF horses Killed In
every important battle have TO be dis
posed of; they are either buried or
burned, according TO the climate, says
writer In Pearson's Magazine. In
South Africa burial Is always resorted
TO, but in some OF the northern parts
OF India the carcasscs are left where
they fall, and In less than eight hours
afterward are picked clean by the vul-
lures. This Is by far the best way,
from a utilltarian point Of yiew,for the
bones may afterward be collected and
ground down for manure. The inter
ment OF slaughtered animals Is always
left 10 the burial parties, and can
scarcely be said TO be any part Of the
veterinary surgeons duties.
In a cavalry charge. especially when
the firing Is At long range, ID is practi-
cally impossible for the enemy to aim
at so small a figure AZ n human being
with any certain chance Of hitting him,
and So the horse presenting the larger
target, the list OF casualties among
horses under these circumstances Is
naturally greater than among men.
At Talavera 300 horses were killed
and 24O men, while at the famous
charge OF the Light Brigade at Bala-
klavn the losses among horses were
800 and among men $50.
The horse Is more liable TO suffer
from hunger and want Of rest
than man. and consequently we find
that In all protracted wars the loss in
horses from disease Is terribly heavy.
In Napolcons campaign across the
Nlemcn out OF 10000 horses no fewer
than 5000 succumbed In six months.
At the siege OF Plevna the Russians
lost over thirty per cent, of their
draught animals, and in the Egyptian
war of 1889 half the English horses
were disabled, Of which 600 died from
sickness and only sixty on the field OF

Important to r1others.

The manufacturers OF Castorla
have been compelled to spend hun
dreds OF thousands ofdollars to fam
iliarize the public with the signature
OF Chas. H. Fletcher. This has been
necessitated by reason OF pirates
counterfeiting the Castoria trade
mark. This counterfeiting is crime
not only against the proprietors OF
Castoria, but against the growing
generation. All persons should be
careful to see that Castoria bears
the signature of Chas. I'll. Fletcher,

their children. Parents, and moth

Railroad Building.

The Gannyalley Chief contains this
railroad news OF local Interest,"
"a meeting was recently held in
|. Bismarck, A.. ID. ,totake action in re.
gard to the extension ofthe Milwau-
kee railroad because OF the urgent
necessity of north and south line
10 connect with the new road being
built into the Washbnrn coal belt
and extending into the cattle coun-
try north. 1t is asserted on good
authority that the new Milwaukee
through Charles Mix county will ex-
tend north and connect with anoth
er branch of the road at Orient.
A line from Platte, the terminus of
the new extension in Charles Mix, to
Orient, the terminus on the roa on
the cou nty line between Hand and
Faux counties would undoubtedly
pass through Buffalo county, and a
road little over 100 miles in length,
traversing a level and productive
country through Charles Mix. Brule,
Buffalo and Hand counties, most of
which has no railroad facilities
would connect the wheat, coal and
cattle countries of the two states.
This IS the most feasible project
for railroad through Buffalo coun-
tv that has yet been advanced. and
those who have the best means oil
know ing are hopeful that it will be
built this year, but give two years as
the Inside limit"
1t is reasonable to suppose that
some time the Milwaukee will couple
the link between Orient and its lines
further south, making direct route
from Yankton to Bismarck. Right
OF way was given once for this pur-
pose through Hand county, and de-
