ARTILLERY AND CAVALRY HORSES. The government is buying lots of horses for its breeding farms for use in the cavalry and artillery There in an old chap in this town who COUld give them some pointers. In his estimation there never wns a horse like the Morgan. He crossed some of his Morgans wM IVrchorons, lo insure larger horses, linn back lo the Morgana again. I lieu to a thoroughbred, and lie has a t hree-y ear-old colt here now that weighs 12."l ioiiimIs. and the colt carries every trait of the pure bred Morgan. If the .'overnmrnt will follow his example it will have a stock of cavalry cav-alry and artillery horses superior to any on earth. This colt, except for his color, would be worth $T000 today, as cheap as horses are. Rut. strange to Matt, that while ttrme nt Hta ancestors rm either side were off color, nothing but either bays or blacks, this colt is a perfect buckskin, which the old man ascribes lo the fact thai the iolt 's mother was kepi in a corral with a .lerse cow . and nt the right lime the emv matle Mtth an iiiipn-ssion on the mother that the eolt is n buckskin. Hut ' he is a great horse. He is as kind as a killcn. sociable as u,.Uig. honest dog, would not object at all to going in the house and living with the children, ami still he has all the characteristics charac-teristics that had the eolt from which the writer in Job drew the picture of the war horse "whos ne k was clothed wit It thunder and w ho smelled the battle from afar."
