Canned Horse Meat.

The canning of horse meat is a
profitable business in Oregon. Horses
valued at FROM two to three dollars
are prepared for export in cans to
European countries where the preju-
dice against horse meat as food is not
as marked as it is in this country.
The horses used are the unbroken
"csyuse" ponies that are not only
valueless even with the British army
paying good prices for almost
any kind of a horse, but is positive
detriment to the stock raiser, as they
eat off as much of the grazing range
as will fatten a steer that will dress
1000 pounds-so the stock men are
anxious to get rid of them.
