This year arrangements will be

at the new normal at Maryville the
plans are practically perfected.

Wisconsin Lumber Companies Decide
to Replace Horses with Cattle.

st. Paul, Minn.-Again is the OK to
be factor in the logging operations
of northern Wisconsin and Michigan.
No less an authority than Senator
Isaac Stephenson believes the lumber
men made a mistake when they made
the horse take the place entirely of
the yoked oxen.
Acting on that belief, the N. Lud-
ington company and the /. Stephenson
company, of which Mr.. Stephenson is
the executive head, are making ar
rangements to put to work a large
number of oxen in the woods this
winter.
The high price of horses and grain
is the chief factor. Oxen cost about
500 a pair, while a good team of
horses costs about $500. The cattle
consume less grain, but aside from
these reasons, which have directly
led to the return to old style logging.
Mr.. Stephenson believes that In the
rougher work OF the camp they are
more desirable. They will be used
this winter in skidding and In haul
ing out OF the swamps. In speaking
of the change soon to be made, Sena-
tor Stephenson said:
