Burlington, July a7.--f'or the fifth
time since the famous low water mark
OF 1854 was established By the Missis
sinpi river, that stream this week has
reached the zero mark III its stage. For
several weeks the river has been stead
lily falling half an inch q day until

and continued to drop. 1t is quite like
" that from Two to three inches below
the lowest mark of record will be re-
corded mere before the cob ceases.
The low water mark OF 1864 held full
sway from that year until 1891, when
the river for the second tine since the
records of the stage have been kept Of
ficiaiiv reached the zero point. Then
followed zero stages in 1894. 1895. 1910
and 1911. 1t will be noticed that the
low water mark record is growing
more frequent Of late years. and this
means that probably not until the gov

BY the approval of the war depart
ment, the price to be paid for the re-
sulting foals at tnree years of age
was $3.50, and no difficulty whatever
was experienced in getting farmers to

About 80 mares were bred, the stall
lions reaching Virginia somewhat late
in the season and Octagon's usefulness
being curtailed by a severe attack of
distemper.
The interest of the virginia farmers
is keen, and already 80 additional
mares have been offered for the season

Correspondence Of The STAR

Correspondence of The STAR
WASHINGTON, November 24.-The
public generally knows that the gov
eminent has outlined a plan to en-
courage the breeding of horses for
the army whereby mare owners in
suitable sections will have the com
mand of service to first-class stations
free, in return for which they agree
to give the United States options on
resulting foals at a fair price. The
plan was taken up as means to
provide a good supply of horses such
as the army needs, which, strange as
it may seem, is rapidly becoming more
and more limited. An appropriation
was suggested at the last session Of
the 6lst congress, but no action was
taken, one objection being that the
plan was not practical-that farmers
would not enter into such agreements
with the government.
Fortunately, funds were available
to make an experiment to determine
this point. August Belmont Of New
York presented to the government two
of his best-known stations, Henry of
Navarro and Octagon, and the depart
ment of agriculture placed them at
the command of farmers in the vicin-
ity of Front Royal, Virginia, on eX-
