bred animals would be availa BILE for the
army every year. This would about
supply the demands in time Of peace.
It is proposed to divide the country into
four districts and to rear Morgans,
thoroVghbreds, standardbreds and sad
dlers. In time, the best type would be
discovered.
Capt. Conrad emphasizes the tremen-
dous loss of horses incidental to war. In
this fiscal year ended June 90 1854 the
federal government purchased for the
army 1878 horses, and there were co.
1888 captured from the enemy. The army
at that time was requiring 500 new horses
a day. In the eight months of tho year
1854, when service was most active, the
cavalry Of the Army OF the Potomac was
supplied with nearly 10000 horses.
An astounding instance of the demand
for horsefiesh was afforded in Napoleon's
Russian campaign. The French crossed
the Nieman and started on that campaign
with 127, III horses for the cavalry, artil-
lery and trains. In December they re-
treated back across the Nieman with only
LOGO horses left.
The report of the bureau Of animal in
dustry has naturally attracted much at
tention from lovers of the horse. and
generally among these men the govern
ment position has been much deplored.
Some time ago at the annual Sports
mems dinner in New York, August Bel
mont. the well known banker, and per-
haps the most prominent race horse own
er and lover in this country. made the
offer to give to the government for breed
ing purposes three OF his most famous
racing stations. At about the same time
E. D. Cassatt, son of the late A. j. Cas-
satt, and former cavalry oflcer. offered
to give three Of the noted stations be-
longing to the Cassatt stock farm.
