AMERICANS GREATEST MEAT
EATERS IN THE WORLD


Americans are the biggest meat eat
ers in the world They beat Johnny
Bull, with all his legends about the
beef of old England. Moreover they
eat more beef per capita than the
British do.
Figures for meat-eating in 1909,
Just made public by the bureau Of
animal industry, of the department of
agriculture, show that the per capita
consumption of meat for that year in
the United States, was, was 162.2O
pounds, divided as follows (fractions
omitted: Beef, so pounds; veal, Z;
pork, 67 mutton and lamb, 6; goat
meat, .13.
Over in England, where they boast
about good old roast beef, the per
capita for that product is only Sc
pounds. Moreover the proportion OF
beef in the total eaten by the Ameri-
can is exactly the same as for the
Britisher-47 per cent. Inhabitants
of the tight little isle make up their
total by eating 26 pounds of mutton
year, as against the Americans 8
pounds.
The Spanish are the smallest meat
eaters, their per capita consumption
being only 40 pounds. Germany's is
113 pounds. In both Germany and
France pork is the favorite meat.
SIN view of the growing scarcity
and high prices of cattle and swine
and their products in our markets in
recent times, it is well to call at
tention to the comparatively insignifi-
cant part played by the bovine species
in our meat dietary" the bureau de-
clares. at may be seen that we con-
sumo only 6 pounds of mutton and
lamb per head a year, which is barely
A per cent of the total meat supply.
When we compare this small consump-
ton of mutton with that of England,
a very striking contrast is presented
"Our small consumption no doubt
is mainly attributable to the exceed
ingly cheap and abundant supplies OF
beef and pork which have prevailed
in former years, thus rending it un-
necessary OF look elsewhere for meat.
But the day of cheap meat is past and
the present market prices of food ami
mails point to the fact that it is be-
coming more and more imperative
that every available source of our
meat supply should be carefully de-
veloped. Hence the necessity for more
sheep farming.
at is undeniable that the sheep
species, both in the lamb stage and
when older furnishes meat of most ex-
cellent quality when the animals are
suited for this purpose. Therefore
the present seems to be an opportune
time for stockmen to pay more atten-
tion to the raising of sheep for meat
production.
"Finally it would be in the interest
of economy for the people generally
to cultivate q greater taste for NUT
ton and lamb, especially the smaller
families who require joints of size
that cannot usually be supplied from
the larger beeg animals. A more in
sistent demand on the part of the
public for mutton and lamb of good
quality would no doubt soon lead to
an increase of breeding and feeding
operations, besides relieving some
what the present heavy demand for
beef and pork in the face of short
supply"
