Will Use Oxen TO Loq.

The plan is under way by J. A.
Irvine & Co., one Of the largest
logging concerns in the northern
woods, to substitute oxen for horses,
as far. as possible, in their logging
operations, during the coming
winter. With this end in view, the
company is buying all the steers and
oxen that are offered for sale. The
reason for the proposed change is
that the horses are too high priced,
and that oxen will do as much work
as horses and at the same time get
along on less expensive feed
Should the change be made, it
would be a decided innovation in
the logging operations in this part
of the country.
