Sam is evidently getting ready for
business. c. l. Burrows, the Rock
land horse dealer, is in receipt of a
communication from the war depart
ment asking. in effect. how many
horses he can assemble there for in
spection by purchasing agent.
Horses for cavalry service should be
from three to ten years of age and
weigh about 1000 pounds, the letter
says. Horses for the artillery service
should be slightly heavier. Mr.. Bur-

from A to z, Is now compiling the de-
sired information, and will report that
