A Substitute for Oats Being
Tried BY Bereau of Animal
Industry-Tried 1t on Dog,
Dog Objected.

Washington-A new angle of the
high cost of living problem has come to
light. 1t is the increased cost of grain
for horse feed and as a substitute for oats
the Bureau of Animal Industry has de-
veloped a sort of equine breakfast food
composed of cocoanut and peanut meals.
A bulletin Just issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture describes the results
obtained by trying the mixture on dog
and four work horses on the bureaus
horse farm near Middlebury, Vermont.
That the dog was not altogether edited
by the experiment. is intima.sd In the
statement of the bulletin, which also says
that none of the horses took to the CO.
coanut and peanut ration eagerly and the
team so fed were off feed during the
first three weeks"
At the conclusion of the test all the
horses were reported in god condition.
The saving in cost was fifteen dollars
and seventy-hye cents, the cost per ton
of whole oats, and twenty-eight dollars
the price paid per ton for the nut meal
mixture.
