the argument that ships could sail around

HORSE MEAT FOR GERMANY.

Inc recommendation of the American con-

In view of the prohibition of American
cattle IN Europe. the packers might well
turn their attention to the preparation and
sale of horse meat"
This is the opening paragraph of a re-
port Just received from Consul Edward S..
Tingle at Brunswick, Germany. MIR, Tin
gle adds:
While exact statistics as to the con-
sumption of horse meat are hard to OBJ
tain, it seems it is almost as great as

Its consumers are exclusively of the poorer

and are out of the reach of the average
workman, who receives Is cents or 81 per

grown to such an extent that it is Begin
ming to be difficult to supply it, and this
is where the opportunity for the American
packer comes in, according to Mr.. Tingle,
Formerly the German butcher had little
difficulty in procuring for slaughter horses
which were either Worn out or injured so
as to be worthless, but the supply of this
class of animals is about exhausted. and
horses for butchering now cost from s45 to
$50. where formerly they could be had for
from s. to $40. The consequence is that Just
as people have become so attached to
horse meat the butcher finds he must raise
his prices.

the ranchman. however. can make the
raising of horses for food profitable why
should he not do 1t? The subject is of two
fold interest to the American packer.
whose beef and beef products are now en-
cluded from the German market, and to
the horse raiser whose invested capita,

The prejudice against horse meat Is so

The rainfall Of Saturday was de-

record for Sunday indicates that the
fall was 10 inch; for today, up to Z a. M,
the fall amounted to 81 inch, and since
that time there has been a fall of Az
inches of wet snow, the first of which
melted as it fell. The snowfall is esti-
mated as equal to half an inch of water,
but 1t has come in a form that makes it
worth even more than that amount of
water. The total precipitition for the
