At the request Of the secretary ri
agriculture the Wyoming agricultural
experiment station is attempting "a
originate a breed Of horses with a dis
tinctiye western type and which viii
become known as the western horse.
The idea originated with Secretary
Wilson. who considers the experiment
station. which has an elevation Of ..
200 feet. as especially adapted for the
purpose in view.
The type of horse II is proposed ia
raise is TO he three-quarters Belgian
coach horse. une-eishth Hamblctonian
and one-eighth bronchu.
The .clgian strain is chosen 70 give
size. the Hamhlctunian endurance and
Intelligence and the brOncho hardness
and good feet
The hope Ia entertained that tho
horse produced will be especially
adapted to cavalry and ranch pur.
poses.
The station Is also breeding double
standard hornless Hereford cattle
with view to benefit the quality oi
Wyoming cattle and at the same time
do away with the necessity Of dehorn'
