Horse Meat for r,por,.

A good deal OF attention is being
called to the possibility OF exporting
horse meat TO those countries that use
It as n staple article OF diet. AmerI.
cans generally think with horror of
eating this kind OF food. but we must
remember that other nations have cus.
toms differing from ourselves, and thar
II they like horse meat and are ablo
and willing to pay for II. there is no
reason why II should not be furnished
The FIRST attempt to send this kind
OF product TO the countries across the
sea has not resulted favorably. II has
been sent out canned. and this gave the
Europeans chance TO cry fraud" and
"unhealthful." Besides, II has made
II possible for dishonest tradesmen 10
palm II OF on some OF their customers
as canned beef. Therefore the tide Of
opinion has l. this timo been against
II.
To meet these OBJECTIONS IL In now
proposed to ship the meat smoked. as
the Europeans like II that way. or else
alive. Since this class OF meat sells in
Germany for cents per pound. IL Ia
believed that the animals can be
shipped alive and at a profit. even n
they have TO be slaughtered al tho
ports OF entry.
