Horsemen Knew Their Business

The value OF having practical horse
men in charge Of remount camps IL
shown In provisions made for shelter.
When It came to building the great
dcpOts required ut each of the camps
they ordered open sheds instead Of
barns-or for the severe northern ell
mate, sheds closed on one side. To
the clty-bred humanitarian who saw
thousands Of Uncle Sans horses and
mules Standing out in the cold, this
seemed cruel, and complaint was en-
tered. But by practical test II was
shown TINT the horsemen were right.
Those animals which were housed up
did not thrive MS well as the ones
which were kept In the open. When
talking with the head of the remOunt
division the thing he was most proud
of was the fact that our horses were
kept In better condition with fewer
losses, than the horses Of England or
France, and that we did this with n
much smaller man force, largely be-
cause we give them open-alr treat
