4 bold stroke.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 2.-The
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad has
made a bold and winning stroke.
Quietly for months it has been secur-
ing all the important ferries on the
Ohio and Kanawha rivers from Char
lesion to Cincinnati. In addition il
is given out on excellent authority
that it has secured control Of every
steamboat line navigating the two
rivers except the White Collar line
and Is negotiating for that. The re
suit is to give the Chesapeake & Ohio
control Of 800 miles Of magnificent
river business and affords il the
means Of harrassing any river road
on the opposite side Of the river,
should one appear.

Oats and Horses.

Oats are said by q scientists
to have an exciting power on .
horse. The effect on the nerves
and muscles were tested after
eating oats and compared with
their excitability before eating.
Old horsemen know that oats
will make . horse more lively
or active than any other grain.
They contain, according to this
authority, q nitrogenized sub
stance peculiar to themselves.
AL oats contain this peculiar
property, but the black oats
have the most. Whom oats are
ground the exciting effect is
reduced in strength and dura-
ton, but its effects are moro &C.
tive. this peculiar substance
is called avsnins. The sell
where oats are grown makes a
difference in the amount of
avsnins produced. Further in
vestigation must be made to de-
tsrmine the kind of soil best
adopted to produce the nerve
power of the oats.
