Army El Reno, Okla, Picturesque old Fort Reno Is to bo made a retpount station," a place where new mounts will be provided for cavalrymen. It Is purposed to turn out more than a thousand bead of horses and mules each year, ready for the military. The cavalrymen who have been stationed at the fort have gone to other posts, and as soon as stables can be built the horse school will open. England and France have remount stations, but Uncle Sam baa not had one heretofore. If the one here proves a success. It Is probable that all horses and mules for the United States array hereafter will go through a course of training before graduating Into regular army life. A horse usually lasts about seven years In the service," said Capt Letcher Hardeman, who Is here arranging for the opening of school." A mule Is good for ten years. The contractors who have been supplying the army horses have been buying them between the ages of four and eight years. Our experiment will be s with exclusively. "There'll be no broncho-buster- s here. We don't care for any man who would mount a sock a pair of rowels into his side and fight It until It's broken In spirit and broken in heart That kind of breaking may do on lho plains, but It won't do for the United States army. A good cavalry horse must have a cavalryman's spirit Nor will the cavalrymen themselves do the breaking. This work will be in the hands of civilians, under the supervision of army officers. The best trainers we can find will be employed. After the horses have been broken, cavalrymen will teach them the game of war. No animal Is to be Kind treatment roughly handled. goes a long way with a horse In cult!- , vatlng a good disposition. We believe there Is economy In a remount station. Not only will we get a better, more desirable lot of horses, s but by taking them as we will get from one to five years more service from them than when we took them four to eight years old. They may be bought cheaper, too. A rebellious, unwilling horse can almost disrupt a cavalry movement and the sooner It has I. C.

About 60 men will be employed at, the Fort Reno station, and they expect to break In 800 or 900 head of horses and from 300 to 400 bead of mules each year.
