Last winter fhe experiment stafiea
NJ the Michigan Agricultural eolle.,.
entered into series Of experiments
years on the winterlng or the fnrin
horse.
The horses that were used la the
feeding experiment were under normal
winter conditions-that Ia. they were
given the usual amount OF winter
work. The experiment results GEN.
tered about twelve horses. which were
divided into lots Of six each. One lot
was used as check and fed In the
ordinary manner-that Is. given eleven
20 twelve pounds OF oats and eighteen
20 twenty pounds OF timothy hay daily
and bran once week. The other six
were given the cheap ration. which
was rs follows: Morning feed. oat
straw. FIVE pounds; carrots. four
pounds; ear corn. three pounds. Noon
feed. timothy hay. four pounds; oats.
two pounds. Night feed. shredded
cornstalks. eigNt pounds; carrots. four
pounds; feed mixture. two pounds.
The feed mixture consisted OF the fol-
lowing; Dried beet pulp, four pounds;
bran. one pound; oil cake. one pound.
The period covered by the expert
mental feeding was Dec. 10 Feb. 3.
The average cost per head day for
feed last winter for the horses fed on
timothy. oats and little bran was
% cents, while for those fed on the
cheap feed IL was III cents day. A
saving was made by the use OF the
cheap ration of S4012 on the feeding

The latest announcement OF increased

made today by the Chicago a. North.

known as the Oregon Washington
Limited. will be placed in service
August 2e, leaving Chicago at II 80 a.

third morning. and landing passengers
In Tacoma and Seattle the same after

The new train will have an equip
ment That includes Pullman drawing
room sleeping cars. Pullman tourist
sleeping cars, Pullman private com
partment and observation sleeping
cars and free reclining chair cars. All
OF this equipment is handled between
chicago and Portland without change.
These trains have la carte dining car
service Of the highest character.
This is In addition TO the present
service via the electric-lighted Chica-
go-Portland Special, aud gives to the
public the choice of two through trains
TO the North Pacific Coast each OF
which is operated on three day
schedule VIA the Chicago. Union Paci-
nc q North Western Line.
The increased popularity of the Chi
cago. Union Pacific and North Western
Line to Salt Lake City. the Yellow
stone Park. Portland and the Puget
Sound country may be attributed to
two principal reasons one is that by
this route some of the most remarkable
commercial and agricultural develop
ment that the West can boast of is TO
be seen, together with magnificent
group of scenic attractions which
reach their climax on the 2O0-mile Tip
which these trains make along the
banks OF the Columbia River from
Umatilla to Portland.
The other chief reason for the heavy
travel attracted via this route is due
to the extensive publicity that has
been given to the fact that 1t is the
only double track. automatic safety
signal line between Chicago and the
Missouri River and the only route OPP
Grated under automatic safety signals
from Chicago TO the Pacific Coast.
