AMERICAN HORSE
NEWS DEPARTMENT


The problem of supplying horses for
the use of the armies of the different
nations of the world is a growing one.
1t is getting more difficult every year.
England, especially, with its present
increasing movement for the country's
defense, is graphing with this question
of the best means of obtaining enough
horses for its army. A conference was
held recently in that country, when the
scheme of breeding horses for that ma
tons army was considered, At this
meeting the secretary of the Imperial
Horse Society declared that it was alb
surd to suggest to the government the
establishment of breeding branches
throughout England, for all knew that
there was practically no demand for
British bred horses, or not large
enough demand to warrant such an ex-
penditure. The most favored plan at
this meeting was to form an organization
that would enable horses to be bred and
supplied to the army on conditions that
WOulU give StCuIIIy " Iut
breeder and to the national funds en-
ployed. Of course, the basis was not
fixed, but f53, or $265 per head was
suggested. The proposal would prac-
tically amount to breeding on con-
tract. 1t was contended that the way
in which things were conducted al pres
ent was very unsatisfactory. They
were spending about two millions year
for remounts, and the breeders of
horses were not getting the benefit.
The question was really this; Were
breeders ready to breed horses on a
business contract for the army, OF
would they let the government go or
buying foreign horses. The proposals
which were put forward might be modi
fed, but they could not ask the govern
ment for grant unless they had def
mite scheme to put forward.
The chairman pointed out during the
discussion that if horse survived as e
five-year-old they would get 1855 for il
on the basis suggested, but if it died as
a two-year-old they would be paid some
thing by the government, while under
ordinary circumstances the breeders
would be the sufferers.
Just now Germany is buyer of hor-
SEES in the United States for the use OF
cavalry. Cuba is now having filled in
the Kansas City and st. Louis markets
contract for 2200 small horses for its
army. Our own government annually
buys 5000 or more horses and mules.
The quartermaster' S department reports
considerable difficulty in securing the
exact kind of animals needed. Dealers
who accept government contracts for
horses usually have TO send out many
buyers to search and hunt the country
for the animals. 1t is no small matter
to supply even a bunch of fifty cavalry
horses for the United States govern
ment. 1t has already found it necessary
to buy colts and raise and train them
especially for the army TO overcome the
faults of the average horse raisers.
Some army officers have even suggested
that the United States ought to estab-
fish army horse breeding farms. -Stal-

GOLD TURNS The WHEELS
what the Worlds Progress Owes the
Pushing Power of yell
low Metal.

No one whose range of vision extends
beyond his own country, can ave failed
to observe that within the last few decades
the whole world has aroused itself to a de-
gree of alertness and activity never before
known In it's history. Up to a period
within fifty years Africa as a whole was an
unknown continent, savage and impenetra-
BILE; the principal countries of Asia. their
ancient civilization outworn and decayed,
had lapsed into a condition of lethargy
and decadence. China and Japan had been
for centuries at a stsndstill, and India
under British rule was but beginning to
awake. Progress was confined to Europe
and North America.
In 1S4s came the gold discoveries in Cali
foTnia, followed in two or three years by
similar development in Australia. AT that
time the accumulation of gold in the entire
world since the beginning OF the Christian
era was estimated at ST. OO,O 900, 900. At the
close Of the present year it will amount to
over 5000, 0.Oo, an increase of S, 500, O0c, 900,
or three times the amount available in
1s4s, Such a stream of money poured into
the channels OF trade has given an i'm
rnense impetus TO the growth of industry
and commerce everywhere, and is suffi-
oient TO account for the awakening Of the
last half century.
The discoveries In South Africa. Alaska,
Mexico and elsewhere are carrying the pro-
duction TO stiH higher figures. the gold
production in 1905 having amounted to $780,
oco.OOO The total production of gold for the
first eight years OF this century will doubt
less reach $1,000. 900. 900. an amount greater
than the worlds entire stock in 1915, and
the rate is certain to increase, 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the economic and in
dustrial effect which such amounts of new
money will have, but its results are be-
ginning TO be seen in the worldwide
awakening to which reference has been
made. The economic changes certain to
follow are almost beyond the realm II

Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-02

Africa has been partitioned among the
European powers, and has enormous re-
sources hitherto untouched. China, with its
teemins and Industrial population, is begin
ming to stir. and even the ancient ceun-
tries of Asia, which we nave been ac-
customed to regard as effete and belonging
wholly to the past, are showing signs OF
a new life.
A railroad from Bagdad is pushing its
way from the west, and will traverse the
heart of the oldest Bible lands, past Ur
OF the Chaldees, and the Babylonian cities
along the banks of the Euphrates, which It
will leave at Birejik, and cross Mesopo-
tamia to the Tigrls. Soon 1t is expected
that the line will be in full operation from
Scutart to the Persian gulf, a distance Of
1852 miles, and the making over OF Chal-
dea and MesoPotamia will be entered upon.
Mesopotamia alone has an area Of $50, 900
square miles, and is extremely fertile.
capable of producing grain for seven
times its present population OF 1900

Assyrian and Persian empires. Schemes
are on foot and capital ready to enter
upon development OF all sorts, including
irrigation, and the door Is wide open for
American enterprise and machinery.
The east will lost in plcturssqueness
with the vanishing camel and caravan, and
everything like the modsrnization OF its
life and ways seems ~ncongruou and i'm
possible; but all the signs point to an era
in the worlds history unlike anything
IT has known, when civilization and educs-
ton shall be UNIVERSAL; when all over the
earth the freest exchange of commodities
shall prevail; when travel shall be so easy
and rapid that all peoples will know one
another, and when war will be less fire.

We hear much OF the 'accursed thirst
for gold.' Of the fSlly of pilinE up riches;
but il the era of peace we are told of ever
comes it will be largely due TO the in
creased production of gold ana to the hust-
ling activity Of these whose desire to be
rich has carried commerce and the arts OF
peace and civilization to the ends OF the
earth.-Washington Post.
