HORSE MEAT NECESSITY.

We must inevitably come to eat our
stock of surplus useless horses. No
one need eat horse meat who has a
prejudice against 1t. Millions of peo-
pie at home and abroad who hunger
would rejoice to feel its DEMONSTRATING
power. Doctor Butler, the Montana
state veterinarian, is advocating the
conversion into meat OF the wild
horses. cayuses and Improbable
horses. which he estimates In that
state to reach In numbers around 20O,-
000 The export market Is very wide
for such meat, II indeed any Of IL
would be left to leave our shores. Pro-
fessOr Cooley believes that the number
Of such practically useless horses now
burdening the burned and wasted
ranges of the West will reach up to-
ward 100000. The forage they eat
would save great herds of cattle and
sheep, which are now In jeopardy,
says Breeders Gazette. II remOunts
could be bought in that state with
greater regularity, so that the surplus
of horses suitable for military pur-
poses could be moved out 1t would
greatly aid In the preservation Of val
liable breeding stocks. This problem
is very pressing one. The food ad-
minIstration cannot too soon give at
tentlon to the economic aspects Of
turning stream of useless horses
through the slaughter houses.
