HORSES AND MULES
SHIPPED TO EUROPE
Animals Bought for Export for
Use in the Great War Are
Among Lighter Grades.

CBy PROF. E. A. TRowBRIDGE, Uni
versity Of Missouri College Of Agricul
ture.)
About half a million horses and
mules have been sent to Europe be-
cause Of the war. Although the mum
Der sounds large. it really includes
less than two per cent of the $4,000.
900 horses and mules on hand in the
United States January l, 1915, and a
still lower percentage when we re-
member the 1915 colts must be added
to this number.
The 100000 horses bought for ex-
port for use in the war are among
the lighter animals ranging from 1000
to $500 pounds in weight. Although
many Of them are of mixed breeding,
they are good useful horses, but do
not sell for particularly high prices,
and there is an opportunity for the
raiser to produce others of much bet
ter type to replace those that have
been sold. The increased cost OF land,
labor and other things used in horse
raising has gradually widened the gap
between the price of good horses and
mules. ind those of inferior animals
until naw only the superior animals
can be produced profitably.
About eighty per cent Of the horses
and mules in the country are now
owned and used on farms. The auto
mobile. auto truck and farm tractor
all help to replace some of these ami
mails. but any great changes in this
direction will come about gradually
and production will be governed large
ly by demand. In view of these con-
stantiy changing conditions. however,
the business of horse production Of
fers unusual opportunities to the man
who succeeds in meeting market de-
mands successfully. Horses Of the
draft or high.class saddle type or
mules Of good size and quality and
capable Of doing lots Of hard work
are likely to prove most profitable.

At this time Of the year all the
heavy work ON most farms has been
0nished, and horses are more or less
Sdle. Since idle horses give no re-
turn in labor performed, the feeding
should be as economical as possible,
and proper care should be taken of
tho animals in order that they may be

Horses should not be confined to

New Way to Serve Steak.

Perhaps you have grown tired of
the usual way steak is served. II so,
try this. Buy a good thick one,
either sirloin or porterhouse. Season
slightly with pepper and salt. and
broil until it is moderately brown.
Have prepared enough chopped pars-
ley and white onion to cover it. Dot
1t thickly with dabs of butter and
bake in a quick oven for five minutes.
The onion, parsley and butter sink
into the meat, the parsley absorbing
the strong flavor of the onion. Once
a steak is served in this manner, the
usual fashion Of serving it will seem
tasteless.

SAVING THE GUNS.

Mr.. James ODonrell Benefits ac-
count of the address Of Bayarian
officer on German military principles
and methods, brings up point of tao
tics which will not ONLY surprise but
interest the soldier, piofes slonal or
amateur.
II has been assumed that II is the
duty OF the artillery commander TO
save his guns almost at all cost The
German practice may be said to be
10 lose them II the enemy can be
made to pay extravagantly for them.
The Bavarian officer points out that
the Russians made great sacrifices OF
men to bring off artillery The Ger
man principle Is to use the guns up
&c the last moment, making the enc
my's advance as costly as possible.
and then II the advance cannot be
checked to leave The guns rather
than TO sacrifice men heavily to save
them.
Probably the policies OF the Rus,
slans and OF the Germans are based
on broad consideration of their re-
spectiye situations. Russia was pre-
sumed to be strictly limited as 10 ma
teriai and possessed of an unlimited
supply OF men On the other hand.
the Germans need to conserve their
men. while their provision Of arms
ard munitions seems to be exhaust
less.
Such considerations must affect the
ample question Of policy, yet where
two forces are about equally matched
as 10 artillery and men the problem
posed rs 3 nice one for expert determ
insiion. In any event without know
ing all the circumstances the con-
mander who has lost his guns Is not
