The poorer people abroad learn to live
largely without meat, driver on
london omnibus. who seemed to be u
man OF Intelligence and thrift, told the
writer that he could afford meat only
once or twice week. The poorer classes
IN Berlin and Vienna are forced by the
high prices to go without meat In Paris
the custom of using horse meat has made
it possible for all the poorer classes who
have to do heavy labor to obtain a sutii-
Cient amount of nOurishing animal food.

ing slightly coarser in grain and having
slightly richer flavor. Its quality
naturally depends on the age of the
beast. As q rule, even though it may he
tougher, the meat is far safer to eat
than beef. While the herds of cattle
each year are producing among them
selves more tEberCulOus infection, horses
have little chance to communicate tu-
5erculosis CT any other disease to one
another, because they are seldom kept
closely together. The diet Of horses fits
them for food purposes even more than
cows. and ininitSly more than swine or
poultry.
The business Of slaughtering horses
for their meat is undoubtedly Oh the i'll
crease in the United State, because a
'arge market has opened in Europe for
horse meat, especially when it is canned.
The Germans are eating it, though un-
consciously, i'll the form CT sausage.
An unknown amount comes back TO
America as canned meat, and not i'm
probably forms "a staple item of diet in
all public or private institutions where
feeding by contract is carried Oh. That
this industry will rapidly increase is
certain from the fact that horses are be-
coming cheaper and more abundant. The
farms out west can better afford to feed
horses with their grain if they can sell
the horses for their meat
The result will be that if horses come
largely into the market as food prod
uct the younger horses will be killed off
before they are years old to save the
expense of longer feeding them. This
will do away with the last real reason
against the use Of horse meat-that only
old and feeble horses are used.
a great gain will be made in prevent
ing the constant production of lame or
feeble horses by drivers. Just as soon as
horse becomes a little past his hest
strength and speed the owners will sell
them off to butchers. just as ordinary
cows and oxen are sold. The horse for
driving and teamiLg will be then a
much finer animal through genuine
'survival Of the tittest.'
The business troubles in the United
States and the increasing number OF
men without employment are emphasize
