TO DISPOSE OF THE cAYUsE.

DIR. Holloway, state veterinary sur
geon, in a recent interview in relation
to the stock interests of Montana, gave
a novel idea or suggestion as to the
profitable disposition of the cayuse.
He thinks as there is now no market
for the ponies they should be slaught-
cred and shipped to Europe for horse
beef. Mr.. Holloway estimates that
there are 100 1000 head of what are
classified as cayuse horses, weighing
less than loo pounds, on the Montana
ranges, and beyond a slight local de-
mand for saddle purposes are abso-
lutely without market value, sellers
late years hardly realizing enough to
pay freight. Mr.. Holloway after stat
ing the above situation says
II then there is no hope for a future mar
ket how are we to dispose OF these costly
herds? They are slowly consuming the
free grass, which without dispute has been
and is one of the chief elements of our
wealth and prosperity. Without this
wasteful use the natural heritage OF our
ranges might be converted into mutton
and beef and thus something added to the
states income. My idea ia that horse
growers should meet and send a commits
sion to Europe to find a market for re-
frigerated horse beef. Then some central
abattoir could be established where these
otherwise worthless animals could be
slaughtered under governmental inspection
and the quarters sent abroad by r~efriger-
ator transit. 1t is very well known that
horse meat has been in use for food in the
peasant districts OF Europe for centuries,
and since the siege OF Paris demand for it
at the block in France has widely increased.
] do not believe there would be any diff
Guilty in finding a ready market for the
meat, and the hides. bones, tallow and
other parts would find numerous uses at
home.
The doctors suggestion is worthy OF
consideration at least. 1t might be
found tina the demand for horse flesh
in Europe was not sufficiently great to
leave any profit to exporters or ~raisers,
although a good deal of horse meat is
disposed of as beef in European cities.
1t is stated that 1900 head of horses
were sold for food in the Paris market
last year, but this is not supposed to
cover the actual number. Much de.
ponds upon the price paid for native
horses whether the scheme would be
successful or not.
While we believe the idea imprac-
ticable it would not require much time
or expense for a thorough investiga'
ton, and if Montana can furnish rich
juicy cayuse steaks to appease the
hunger of Europeans it might event.
ually lead to a home demand, particu.
larly if we are going to have free trade.
l is evident that we should get rid OF
some of our cayuses. They are poor
property for a horseman. The decline
in the price of horsese makes it neces.
sary to raise the very best, for like
good beef they will always bring a fail
price, where inferior animals will
hardly pay for transportation to east.

know that l paid 26 bushels, much to
my regret since, and will say that
those who have not paid in yet, are
just that much ahead and justified in
not paying their subscriptions owing
to the fact that the mill was not at
the time constructed according to
agreement. The miller says they are
not guilty of all of which they are ac-
cused. Just wait until we hear from
some OF the farmers and see how that
is. What have said in my former
article is no more than what has been
said all along by the community and
particularly by the farmers, and what
experience l have had with the millers
convinces me that only the truth has
been told.
Our attention is called to the Golden
Rule. Very good, but better first set
