HORSE MEAT.

Except for the regard most peo.
pie have for the horse, there is
really no reason why his flesh
should not be utilized, by thos.
who eat meat, for human food,
any more than the flesh Of other
animals. Indeed the provisions
Of the Sanitary Code Of New
York City now legalize its sale
for that purpose. 1t must never
be forgotten, however, that the
value of healthy horse is so
great that, unless he is killed be-
cause of some accident which has
rendered him useless, he would
practically never be destroyed
for food. The vast majority Of
the horses whose flesh is, or would
be put on sale, would be old and
worn out and diseased animals.
In New York a man dealing in
horse-fesh was discovered lead
ing q glandered horse to a slaugh-
tering establishment. We doubt
if many Americans will ever be-
come eaters of horseflesh, first,
because the idea is so foreign a
one to them, and, second, because
they know that few such animals
in good health would ever be sac
rifed for food. On the other
hand multitudes are learning that
the less meat they eat the better
they feel, and for conscientious
reasons an increasing number are
becoming uegetarians.- and
Dumb Animals.
