Authorities are pretty generally
agreed that whatever else its virtues
or shortcomings, the tuberculosis law
is unconstitutional, so far as it relates
to compensation for animals slaughter
cd under direction of the state board.
For the state, through its commission,
to appraise cattle within fixed limit,
and then to pay only half the appraised
value, not only has a queer look on its
face, but comes pretty near taking a
mans property without due process of
law. Some change in this feature win
be necessary, or the whole law will 90
by the board. 1t ought to be possible
to get at this matter of compensation,
which is the real stumbling block.

In 1901 there were shipped from the
United States to South Africa 81, 465
horses, the largest number, with one ex-
ception, ever consigned up to that time
to a single destination in the history of
our country. But the entire export dur
ing that year amounted to over So 900
head, so that less than fifty per cent went
to South Africa. Eliminating that factor,
we still have very heavily increased
and apparently steady trade abroad.
The number OF horses exported in 1894
was 2,72l against 1850 imported. This
proposition continued with some fiuc-
tuations up to 1891, when the number
exported was 5,246 and imported, 6,166.
The following year the horse business
showed increased liveliness, jumping
from l3,9S4 exports to 3,09s imports, the
first year that the balance of trade In
horses appeared In our favor. In 1896 the
number OF exports and imports was
rs, l26 and 1891 respectively, and the
difference In our favor has been steadily
growing ever since, until last year we
exported $3.50 and imported only 3,7S5.
Dedneting the South African contingent,
we still did an export business of over
4s,Oo0 horses against 1,6i1 in 1887. In
mules the trade Is all export, and adding
these to the 81 $50 horses, there were
exported 10 1901, 1865 animals Of the
horse kind.
Curiousiy enough, the horse trade of
Canada With foreign countries has
declined since 1898, when II reached the
high-water mark of almost % 600 head.
The exports used to greatly exceed the
imports, but now the conditions have
reversed, and In 1901 the former stood at
1909 and the latter at 9,096. There used TO
be very brisk demand in this country
for Canadian horses though they were
not easily aeclimated. In 1898 Canada
sent US 10,606 horses against only 1,527 in
1900. She sent II 600 head to Great Britain
in 1895 and only 2,l43 in 1901, though fur
nishing Independently OF that 1908 for
South Africa.
