The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1900-04-13

The chief chemist of the Bureau of
of the Department of Agri-
culture, assisted by a number of noted
has completed experiments
proving the availability of horse flesh
as human food.
The chemists say that horse meat
tastes a good deal like lobster: that it
contains one per cent. more sugar than
either beef or pork, is no less nutritious
and just as palatable in appearance.
There is no objection to its sale and
consumption, so long as it is properly
labeled, so that it may not come on the
market under some other name.

AGRICULTURAL.
"OH, ny ="

She was little woman with three
or four children, and they had all been
in the country to spend Christmas week.
Upon arriving in Camden, her eyes
were red with weeping; so were chill
dren's.
Upon being asked the matter, she |
sobbed ont: "We have been spending !
Christmas on farm, and we didn't any |
of us want to come home" And she
bravely tried to smile through her
tears.
Don't you like the city?" was the
next question.

time, and there was such full and plen-
ty of everything. When they wanted
potatoes for dinner they didn't go out
and buy them by the quarter peck, but
went down celler to whole hinfuls; and,
oh, my! the lovely cabbages that were
buried in the field to keep them white
and tender! Why, 1 have to give Is
cents here for cabbage head such as
they feed out, to their stock. When
| they wanted meat there was a smoke
house full of sweet, juicy hams; and,
oh, my! fresh eggs and butter and cot

shelves down cellar just full of pump
kin and mince pies and great fat dough-
nuts!
''It made me heartsick when
thought how 1 had to twist and turn
here in the city to make things hold
out, thinking I can't afford this and
that. Oh, my! We are so fond of hot
cakes and milk and gravy for breakfast
but, oh, my! we can't afford it here; it
takes so much milk to mix up the cakes
and for gravy too.

Why, as much dust collects on your
