Horse Meat.

The canning of horse meat may yet
solve the question as to what shall be
done with the range horse. At present
that animal is practically valueless, and
unless he can be eaten, will have to be
exterminated. If market can be found
for the canned flesh, it will serve to
clean the range and give at least small
return to the owner. There is no reason
why horse flesh should not be as fit for
food as that of any. other animal, the
only objection being prejudice. He is
the cleanest and handsomest of all
animals, and yet we draw the line at
feeding on him. It is, indeed, a queer
stomach and perverse taste that will
demand chicken. the foulest of the fowl,
or hog, the scayinger, and yet refuse the
flesh of the horse. This is good logic,
and yet we confess that it seems rlmost
like dining on one's-friend. We do not
banker after any of it for our own inn
mediate use.

The state of Oregon has done itself
credit by placing upon the halls of its
