HORSE MEAT TO BECOME
FOOD in NEW YORK CITY

New York, Dec. 21.--Sale of horse
meat for food will be permitted in
New York after Jan. /, the board of
health announced today. Comment
ing upon the revocation of the sec
ton of the sanitary code which pro-
hibited the use of horse flesh, Com
missioner Emerson said that while
the health department does not ex-
actly Recommend it, no harm can be
seen in it's use.
"The horse never has tuberculosis
and almost never communicates a
malignant disease to human beings
he said
Hereafter old horses, instead of
being sold for their bones, which are
worth little or nothing, will be fat
tened and disposed of for meat"
DR.. Emerson announced that spec
ial precautions would be taken to
prevent the sale of horse flesh in the
guise of beef.

THIRD MIDWINTER
FAT STOCK SHOW
VIII BE Held at the University of Ten
nessee January oath to goth.

Plans have been made for the hold
ing of the Third Midwinter Fat Stock
Show at the University Farm, Knox
vile, during the week of January
1929. This show has now passed be-
You'd the experimental stage. Last
years show exceeded the expectations
Of those who had it in charge.
The object of the show is to encour-
age farmers of Tennessee to show
such fat animals as they may be in
tending to finish and sell on the win
ter market. or at least to show the
best animals they are fattening dur
ing the winter. 1t is show that the
average man can compete in. Regis
tered animals are not needed. ANY
animal that shows one or more cross
es of any pure breed may compete for
premiums. The primary object of the
show is to create an interest In grade
cattle, sheep and hogs among farmers
of this state.
The show is a splendid school for
the young feeder who wishes to learn
the best types and the best methods or
finishing cattle for the market and Tor
show purposes. Practice in lifting
animals is excellent training for the
boys of the farm; and it leads them
toward the farm instead of away from
It. and educates them in the right
kind of farming.
The judges will be disinterested
men who are thoroughly competent to
pass on the animals.
Begin now to fit your animals for
the show, and write to the Animal
Husbandry Department, University OF
Tennessee, Knoxville, at an early date
and let them know what animals you
wish to enter.
