Tattoo Suggested for Army Horses

A third marking takes place when the
horse Is sent from the army remount
depot to the troop or battery. and It
must be renewed from time to time.
1t Is Captain Conrad's idea that .
more enduring designation could be
accomplished by applying a mark to
the inside Of the upper lip Of the
horse. He has devised an instrument
for this purpose. and suggests the use
of India ink. with the result that the
mineral adopted will be indelible.
This will require. of course. a regular
system of marking SO that there may
be no duplicates. BY this means a
horse accepted for military service
will keep its number. 1t may be nee
essary to have legislation to prevent
tampering with the designation or ma
king use of a similar mark in the case
of horses not used In the military
service
Captain Conrad's quest is expected
to lead to several important acquisi-
tons during the coming year. by this
method the middleman is avoided. and
horses are obtained at a much lower
price than under the contract system.
Besides, there is a better opportunity
of selection. and controversies are
avoided which SO often have prevailed
between the government representa-
tives and the contractors who fail to
comply with specifications in the de,
livery of military animals.
