inter ¬ ested in the horse are jubilant over securing an annual appropriation of S 0000 for the pro ecu tloti of the work of horse breeding in the various zones into which the country has been divided un ¬ der the plan formulated when it was decided to place the experiment under federal supervision The fund became available fi July 1 and tin work will now go forward expcditiously expcditiouslyThe The Remount Association whih is composed of army and civilian experts is entitled to the great ¬ est credit in connection with securing this award For many years 50000 was set aside for the work of horse breeding under government control and this was finally reduced to 25000 where it stood when Avar Was declared With such a pitiful Amount available the work was restricted and re ¬ sults were almost negligible The war and the demand for horses growing out of it brought for ¬ ward experts who had been abroad and knew con ¬ ditions Out of the agitation which ensued has come the Xational Remount Association with a membership of 1000 and growing rapidly as the objective and importance of the movement is be ¬ coming known knownWhile While the Remount Association is entitled to praise then are words of commendation also for The Jockey Club and publicspiritetl citizens asso ¬ ciated with racing who donated stallions and made it possible to get the work under way two years before the increased appropriation became available Going still further back it was the donations of thoroughbred sires to the federal government by the chairman of The Jockey Club and others many years ago which made it possible to do what little experimental breeding was car ¬ ried on in Virginia with Front Royal as head ¬ quarters Witliout this object lesson it wpuld have taken many years to crystallize sentiment aiid give impetus to the movement which is now so safely and substantially launched launchedLOCATIONS LOCATIONS OF STALLIONS STALLIONSThe The latest official list pf thoroughbred sires lo ¬ cated in the various zones totals fortytwo and the number is being added to constantly two new donations Figiuny and Military System having come through the Breeding Bureau of The Jockey

¬ operation of breeders everywhere We hope to have from 1000 to 1500 foals from last springs campaign For the first time in its history the United States now has the necessary machinery to produce the sort of horse we must breed in order to keep pace with other nations who have given the subject of remount replacement the sit tiontlon it deserves deservesWORK WORK IS SYSTEMATIZED SYSTEMATIZEDThe The work1 has been so systematized resumed Coonel Scott tfiat we hope to have every active horseman as an ally Officers in charge of federal purchasing headquarters will encourage the move ¬ ment and report to the chief of the Remount Service the number of breeding centers his district is capable of maintaining There should be ons of these stations to each twntyfive square miles A report will be made on the type and quality of the mares available and great care will be exer ¬ cised as the time to avoid mistakes is at the start No unsound or unfit mares will be accepted and the type of mares jn each district will de ¬ termine the character of horse to be used Only approved mares will be granted certificates by the board of inspection which will include the officer of the dejot and a veterinarian Sentiment for the plan will be stimulated by the holding of fairs and the awarding of premiums and ribbons Sires and mares and their produce will be exhibited so that the people may learn something of tl e typo1 we are endeavoring to secure The government will take no option on the produce but a record wall be kept of every foal Horse markets will be established at the various centers and whenever purchases aru to be made there will be an in ¬ spection and such as are available will be bought Many of the highest class animals will find a ready market for use either as hunters or
