CONSULAR REPORTS.

II American consuls would keep their
eyes as wide open as those of Great
Britain to what 10 happening In the
countries where they are stationed, the
commercial superiority OF the latter
nation might soon cease TO be q real
factor in the trade of the world. Our
consuls, no doubt. mean we'll; but they
lack system in their Investigations and
sometimes show a woful ignorance OF
the Conditions Of their own country, as
we'll as sad lack CT ability to practi-
cally apply their information.
When consul, as the one at Bruins
wick in his report, advises American
farmers to raise horses to be slaugh-
tered and used as meat, he evidently
knows nothing OF husbandry as prac-
ticed in this country, or Of the feeling

horse flesh. In the dark days OF the

in cases OF dire necessity, eaten by the
soldiers, but in these days OF peace,
with grass and grain SO sbundant and
cheap. and cattle 30 far preferable for
food, 1t Is the veriest nonsense to talk
about eating horse flesh. Besides, the
horse in this country is regarded as
next to man OF all the brute creation,
and eating the noble animal is looked
upon generally as species OF cannibal.
