~ UENOS AIRES. Argentine Repub-
X lie. Feb. 2O.--Buyers from Eng
- land and France are securing Ar
gentina for cavalry horses to be used
in the war. The purchases are kept as
quiet as possible. bGt i is said that
orders for 100000 horses have already
been received. and that these orders
viii be duplicated in the near future.
1t is estimated that the sales viii Ill
timately reach $20.OO0,O00. Thousands
of horses have already been shipped
and steamer loads Of them are now
moving out over the ocean on the road
to sudden death.
1t is said that the average life Of
a horse on the battlefield is only three
stations Costing S15O,OOO.
Argentine is noted as paying the
highest prices for fine blooded stock.
and this is SO of horses as well as of
cattle. stations have been sold at
enormous prices. There is one now on,
the Las Ortigas stud farm that was
brought in from England at a cost OF
more than SI50.00O. 1t is known as
Diamond Jubilee" and it won the
triple event for the late king Edward.
It was sold for 10000 guineas
Another famous horse, imported by
Saturnino Unzue. came from France and
it cost 100000. OrmOnd was brought
here from England, where he was pur-
chased for $4,000. or $4,000. He re-
manned for some time in Argentina and
was then sent to the United States at
a price Of more than 100000. Flying
FOX sold for S185 COO The horse CYL
1eue was landed in BuenOs Aires at
cost OF s15O.0OO while Missel Thrush
cost Or. Benito Villaneuva $4,000.
There have been many mares i'm
norted at extraordinary prices, and
some of the fine stations from Eng
land have had a chance TO return home
at increased figures 1t IS said that an
offer OF double the original price paid
for CyIene was made with the ldea OF
talking him back to England If this is
true the amount was 100000, and, as
the story goes. it was refused
Annual Sale of ThOrOuEhbreds.
There is a sale of thoroughbred stock
here every spring which brings in
sl5OO. 900 and upward for the colts sold
Sometimes it runs as nigh as $Z,OOO.UOO
have the figures of. the later sales
from the Agricultural society Of Argen-
tina In 1907 the amount realized for
1856 colts was more than 100000 or on
the average almost Of $1,000 per animal
In 1909 the sales amounted to more
than Sl50O.0O0, and that for A animals
while in 1910, 483 colts were sold for
upward Of $1,000, 600. At that sale some
OF the colts brought as much as $4,000
each. In 1905 two yearlings were bid
off at $4,000 each: and in 1910 one
yearling sold for $4,000 and another
Tor $4,000 During that same year one
OF Diamond Jubilee's colts brought Sl5,-
600 and another $4,000.
Within period of II years the aver
age price of yearlings at these sales
has steadily risen. In 1903 it was 5000.
while since then it has risen to $3.50
per colt. These prices are for yearl1ngs
only. and they show what the Argentine
has been doing to improve its horses
of the thoroughbred strain.
As it is now, there are about 10000
thoroug hbreds in the country. and there
are something like 400 thoroughbred

The Same Old Story

the lassoOers on horseback need brawny,
quiet horses and not quick nervous ones
Crossed with tine Percheron, Clydesdale and
Shire the Criolla is a good general purpose
horse, fitted for draft or the carriage; and,
crossed with the Thoroughbred, it makes an
animal which is especially fitted for cavalry
purposes.
The value Of horses is steadily rising. Be
fore the war began good carriage horses
brought $500 pair at auction, and Hight
draft horses were sold for as much as 1916.
North American mules brought about $500
each and Argentine mules half as much.
Cavalry horses are now selling from 310O
upward many poor animals being among
those shipped.
The same prejudice as formerly still ex
lists among the natives in the use OF mares
as riding animals. The gauchO is ashamed
to be seen riding them and many persons
use them for draft purposes only.
Argentine Cowboys Unique.
The Argentine cowboy looks much like an
American indian. but his cheekbones are not
so high and his complexion is lighter in
color. His eyes are coal black, and he usu-
ally mas a full, black. heavy beard and
straight black hair. His ordinary costume
is a SLOUGH hat and a blanket with stripes.
which is worm over his shoulder. He has
another blanket worn about his waist. and
pulled between the legs to the back Under
the lower blanket may be seen white draw

steadily increasing It has more than doubled
within the past 20 years. and it is esti-
mated that there is still room here for many
times the supply now on hand.
Indeed, the possibilities Of Argentina in
stock development are beyond conception,
As it is now less than One-seventh Of the
land is under cultivation, and I am told
that 200 900, 900 animals could be fed and
still leave room for more.
The Criolla mare, which served as the
base for the native horse stock Of the re-
public had excellent blood, and today it
shows some evidences of its Arabian cnces-
try. It was dwarfed by being born and
bred in the open without any other food
than the native grasses. Still it is strong
and willing and capable OF extraordinary ex-
ertion. It is irregular in shape and color.
ranging from the slender type to the short
stocky one, and from duskyt brown to d
fantastic blossom color
Improving the Native Stock.
The native stock might have been i'm
proved by selection and brought back to its
original excellence. I am told that some Of
the estancieros have tried it successfully and
that if animals Of the same breeds had been
imported from Spain they might have re-
newed the old stock
The native horses however, form excellent
ones for breeding. although crossing them
with the racing blood seems to take away
the muscular strength and sturdiness and to
make them nervous For working cattle,

ers, that extend to the ankles and are tied
there.
He is proud Of his dress, and his draw
ers are often edged at the bottom with lace,
and red or blue slippers may cover his feet.
He may often have aOn a belt of chaimOis
leather decorated with silver buckles and
bangles, and his saddle may be embroid-
cred with silver, with silver stirrups at
tached.
Homes Are Rude Huts.
You can see the homes Of the gauchos
almost anywhere on the pampas. They are
rude huts with doors so low that you have
to stoOp to enter them.
The floor of the ordinary house is OF
earth and its furniture is a bed. a table and
one or two seats, the latter often being
the skulls Of bullocEs. The most of the
cooking is done over the fire. The chief
food is meat cooked over the Goals. and the
gaucho bastes the roast with the Juice as it
cooks. One OF his favorite dishes is carne
concuerO which means cooked in the skin
The meat is wrapped up tightly in the
hide Of the animal from which it comes and
thuse cooked The skin keeps in the juices
and the result is delicious The gauchO
drinks mate, a tea made from the leaves Of
tree that grows best in Paraguay. He
takes this whenever he can get it and al
ways the first thing in the morning. Mate
IS both stimulant and food. and it en-
abies one to 90 for long time without

Every gaucho carries a knife. This IS
foot long, and it is used both for eating
and also for fighting or to avenge an insult
When two gauchOs have a dispute they
sometimes settle il with their knives; and
in olden times it was customary for them to

At the drop Of a handkerchief the two
men began to stab at each other, and they
continued until one was mOrtally wounded.

IS gradually becoming civilized and. As the
country becomes more and more settled he

of 80 per cent over the two previous
years.
with the rapid increase In popu-
lation OF the city, the work In con-
nection with this Office is becoming
heavier every day" said Treasurer
Stein. THE necessity Of obtaining
more office space TO facilitate the
work OF handling the taxpayers
during the annual tax collection
period Is very apparent, and with
the annexation OF portions OF Green
field and Hamtramck townships. the
conditions will become still worse"
During the annual tax collection
in 1904 there we're 1891 current
tax receipts issued. During the last
collection, in 1914, there we're 1886
current receipts issued-an increase
OF 80 per cent. The handling Of all
OF this increase in work has been
accomplished with very little adj.
tional Office help. and there has
been no more ONCE space provided
