would follow the lead of New York,
whose board of health, beginning
Jan. I, will permit the sale of horse
meat. Chicago housewives would
gain $4,000 annually if they would
serve stallion steaks and colt outlets;
Philadelphia $500, 900.
These figures are based on re-
cent horse census which shows that
the annual horse mortality in this
country. must be close to 100000.
Valueing each horse at $100 we get
the above huge total of annual cash
wastage in American horsefesh. And
it must be remembered that in part
this mortality is due to the hard labor
demanded of the animal If, instead
of being worked to death he were
carefully bred for his food value, at
his death he would be an asset in
stead of loss.
The land required to feed Amer
ica's 25,000,000 horses, experts claim,
would raise produce to support 1885,
100000 humans.
''eThen why" ask the advocates of |
horse meat, should this land be de-
veloped to raising animals which are
good only for unecononic hauling |
and are practically valueless at |
death?
Let us turn transportation over
to the automobile" they plead, "and |
raise horses for food. Their flesh is
healthful, nourishing, and some con-
slider it choicer than beef or veal"
To bear this out, DR.. Haven Emer-
son, New York's commissioner of |
health, declares:
"There is no medical or sanitary
reason to prevent equine. flesh from
becoming staple food. The reIa-
tive value of horsemeat abroad is
shown by the experience of our vet
erinarian, Or. Alderman, who found
that in RPAeoale hoHca H,aaak Sro-. |

Commissioner Emerson indicated
that since the horse never has suf-
tered from tuberculosis and trans
n1its no malignant disease, he ought
to make safer food than beef and
hogs.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals is pleased by the
move, believing old horses will now
be better fed and cared for. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether husbands
will equally be pleased, when their
thrifty wives begin to serve them the
horse d'oeuyres, pony purees, per-
cheron porterhouses, fiery steed
steaks and other equine delicacies
now legalized for the first time in
America!
