Horse Breeding Experiments.

Prof. w. l.. Carlyle of the Colorado
Agricultural College has returned from
Chicago and the middle states, where
he went in the interests of federal
horse-breeding experiments. With w.
NJ Hayes, assistant secretary of agri-
culture; Prof. c. F. Curtis of the Iowa
State College. and NJ. H. kichnor OF
Chicago, Professor Carlyle made a Sc
stock for breed of heavy harness
horses which it is the purpose of the
eXperimenter to develop.
After looking over the stock of prom
inent horse breeders in search of the
particular types Of horses desired they
selected fourteen animals in all, thir-
teen mares and one stallion. They
are all standard American bred horses
selected from the stables in Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Ken
lucky and Iowa. Had these animals
been purchased privately they would
have sold at the highest market price
but as the establishing of the new
breed is for the public good the owners
sold them at low figures, in fact, some
of them were donated.
Colonel Pabst of the Pabst Brewing
Company, w. c. Brown, general man
ager of the New York Central railroad.
and NJ. H. kichnor, prominent horse
breeder of Chicago, donated stock. The
horses were ready for shipment
The bill providing for an appropria-
ton for these experiments originated
with Eugene Grubb of Colorado, and
its passage by Congress was largely
due to the efforts of Mr.. Grubb and
Professor Carlyle.
