SAVING HORSES IN WARTIME
Preparatio, That Renders the AMI.
mails Practically Invisible 10 Re-
ported to Have Been Success.

Useful experiments are being car
ried out In the United States with the
object of determining whether horses
can be so colored az to render them
less conspicuous and reduce the
chances of their being made a target
for the fire OF an enemy. Some of the
tests have been conducted In Arizona,
with animals of the First cavalry, and
apparently have been attended with
considerable success.
According to the Army and Navy
Register, a solution was applied to an
animal with IN ordinary grooming
brush or sponge after the coat had
been dampened with water to prevent
the cOloring stun from running down
over the dry hair.
1t changed the horse from a dark
chestnut to a yellow dun, according to
the strength. This dye lasts about
four or five weeks. n longer or shorter
time depending upon whether the ami
mai Is shedding or not, and ii does not
take as long to color horse as or
binary grooming takes, as IL Is only
necessary to go over the animal once
in the same direction as the hair lies.
1t neither Injuries nor alters the tex
ture or feel of the coat. At 400 or
500 PAGES the animal Vps almost
invisible. In Arizona or Mexico,
IL is stated, the color can be
put on so as to dry the exact
color of the ground, and no natural
colored animal Is as nearly invisible
at distance as animals that have
been treated with a coat Of war
paint In the desert country.
One expert has stated that it is al
most impossible for sniper to shoot
horses colored in the way that 1t has
been done in the First cavalry corrals
on the border, because the enemy will
| be unable to see the animals at any
great distance.

the right ration, keep them dry and
warm. Castrate and dock the lambs
while they are very young.
Early lambs are more profitable than
late lambs The best prices are for a
lamb weighing 60 or 20 pounds in May
or June. The lambs need more feed
than their mothers milk IL the best
gains are to be made.
Dip the flock about week after
shearing them. A warm day should be
selected and the dipping done early
in the morning. Then the sheep are
dry by night. Shear the sheep as soon
ms the weather is warm enough so
that they will not take cold If fleece
Is removed.

UTILITIES COMMISSION
FORCES RAILROAD
IMPROVEMENT CONSTRUCTION

Denver, Colo, July %. Chairman
George 7. Bradley of the State Public
Utilities Commission left today for
Montrose to make a personal inspec-
ton, in behalf of the Commission, of
the line of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad between Montrose and Ouray.
The purpose of the inspection will be
to ascertain the exact amount of work
which the Denver & Rio Grande has
done and is going to do towards plac-
ing this line in safe operating condi-
tion, in compliance with recommenda-
tions made to the railroad company
by the Commission.
Chairman Bradley is accompanied
by Charles d. Vail, chief railway en-
gineer of the Commission, who dur
ing the last month has been making
study of physical conditions of the
lines of the Denver & Rio Grande and
Rio Grande Southern in the south
western part of the state. At the sug-
gestion of the Commission, General
Manager Easley of the Rio Grande
has instructed Superintendent. Racey
of the Third division to meet the Com
missions chairman and engineer at
Montrose and accompany them over
the Montrose-O Ouray branch.
AS a result of number of confer
ences with reference to the physical
condition of the railroad lines in south
western Colorado, held recently by the
Public Utilities Commission with Vice
President A. f. Sweet and General
Manager F. ]. Easley of the d. & r
G., the operating heads of the sys-
tenn in Denver have issued instruc-
tions to division superintendent OF
the southwestern lines to make re-
pairs which will place these lines in
absolutely safe operating condition
The improvements include the laying
of heavier steel, the renewal of ties
and ballasting at points reported by
the Commissions engineer to be be-
low the required standard. The stren-
gthening of bridges at several points
is also included, the long railroad
bridge over Cow Creek, near Ridg-
way, being one to which the Commits
sion's engineer has given particular
attention.
Among other things, the railroad
company has increased the wages OF
laborers in order to obtain the nee
essary help to carry out the improve
ment plan. This step was taken at
the suggestion of the Utilities Com
mission, after the company several
weeks ago had ascribed delay in max
ing improvements to its inability to
obtain labor.
While the management of the Ric
Grande system in Denver has given
the Commission repeated assurances
that its recommendations are being
carried out, the inspection to be made
personally by Chairman Bradley and
Engineer Vail will determine definite.
ly the degree to which the company il
pushing these improvements. It IL
expected to have the effect of further
speeding up the work, since the Com.
mission has made it plain to the rail
road company that these lines must be
placed in safe condition without de.
lay. If the representatives of the the
Commission find that work is not pro-
crossing as rapidly as it should, furth-
er action will be taken by the Com
mission.
