SWITZERLAND
RESERVES HORSES

In Switzerland the state is part owner
OF horses used by reserves. 1t purchases
a .remount at l-2 years old, and the sol
dier pays half the cost Of the horse to
the government together with the differ
ence between its cost and the price that
the horse fetches at auction-for all horses
are sold by auction TO the men.
After every year Of training the gov
ernment refunds one-tenth OF the origi-
nal half cost TO the men, and at the end
of 10 years the horse becomes the absolute
property of the soldiers. In this manner
the solder is not only always well mount
ed but as he keeps his horse with him
at his home his mobilization problem is Of
the simplest nature.
The average price Of these Swiss troop
horses is about 45 pounds sterling, says

Who has not pounded his thumb In

A North Dakota man has gotten
around this difficulty with an inge-

the nail just beneath the head and
drives it into place without difficulty.
The attachment consists of a loop
of metal and slight groove and re-

nail fits in this, and all that need be
done is to give one blow as II the nail
were held in position with the fingers.
This blow will suffice to fix the nail
