USING AMERICAN HORSES.
A nimals from the United States Beja9
Introduced Into French Cav
airy Service.

Numerous inquiries have been made
at this Office by Americans concerning
the demands for horses from the
United States, and several horse deal
ers have requested information on this
subject.
Limoges is the headquarters Of the
Twelfth Army corps, and the horses
of the light and heavy cavalry need
renewing constantly, as the life of an
army horse is only five years of active
service.
A number of American horses have
been introduced into France for cav
airy service; some have not given sat
isfaction, because they were pressed
into service before they had become
acclimated. It usually takes for
eign horse the best part of year in
France to get into good condition, es-
pecially il he comes from the western
plains without being trained
This business could be greatly de-
veloped by intelligent painstaking eff
forts. The particular requirements of
the French market should be followed,
such as the height, weight, etc. French
horse breeders are exporting many
horses to Russia for her army, and
horses are consumed as food in all Eu-
ropean countries. This branch of the
trade is very remunerative all over
the republic.
WALTER T. GRIFFIN.
Carriage Trade.
A leading vehicle trade journal, OF
France, says that the automobile, in
spite Of its rapid development, has not
d3ne the carriage builders, outside OF
Paris, any harm, and has only affected
the builders of heavy carriages in that
city.

In order that the moderate cost Of the

crs may be fully understood we give the
following figures Of showing the cost
which will be assessed against the ordi-
nary residence lot. 5oxl4o feet: The
tax against such a lot will be about $50,
No payment except S per cent interest
on the $50. |. o. Sl.5o is due until the
elapse Of Ave years. At the expiration
Of five years the lot owner begins paying
the principal. one-fiftsenth each year,
plus the per cent. interest. The first
year Of the fifteen. that is the sixth year
after he has had the benefit Of the sewer,
this payment will be 50 on the principal
and $l.5o interest, and total Of $3.50.
Tho following year the paym ant will be
So on the principal and Sl.4o interest, a
total Of S5,4o. The payments will de-
crease in this proportion each year as the
principal is reduced. Allowing twenty
years for the payment Of $50 on a res
idence lot is surely as easy terms and as
low price as any property owner oouIo
ask .or SO vliuable an improvement. The
rate of interest on the bonds, five Pc
cent. is unusually low for this class q.
