WILD HORSES IN MONTANA
CAUSE GREAT TROUBLE
The Horsemans Club Will Take Steps
to Rid State of These Animals.

Miles City, Mont, May 8.-Deter-
mined to conserve the tremendous
amount of fodder which is eaten an
nually by wild horses in Montana, the
Montana Horsemen's association is
considering broad program to elimi
nate thousands Of these animals.
1t has officially been estimated that
there are more wild horses roaming
the state than there are domesticated
ones. Estimates vary widely, how
ever. but a recent statement issued
by the Horsemen's association esti-
mated the total of unframed steeds at
three million. It also was estimated
that this number of animals would
consume fifteen million tons of grass
annually.
Disposal of scrub animals is not a
simple matter. Some months ago
horsemen considered an ambitious plan
which provides for the slaughter of
the animals and the shipment Of the
meat to European markets. Later it
became an open secret that purchas-
ing agents from Allied nations seek
ing horses in Montana, politely told
the horse meat promoters that althoI
people were starving in some sections
of Europe, they hardly thought these
people would eat canned Montana
horse meat The horses were too
small for military purposes and too
tough to chew.
The plan which is at present under
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-05-15

consideration is to erect a plant or
several plants to slaughter wild
horses and to convert their hoofs,
hides and bones into various products
and to sell the meat for hog fodder.
Pioneer Montanans claim that the
careless methods of gold miners five
or six decades ago were responsible
for present conditions. 1t has been
said that gold seekers got into the
habit Of letting their pack animals
shift for themselves and the mules
and horses after breeding with wild
animals, became as wild as the regions
they lived in.

Lacked Support

The REIMBURSEMENT convention might
have received more heartily the sup
port of this community. intellectual
" you are asleep up here-you must
wake up, climb out of your cradle,
enter into the activities of the out
side" was a remark directed by a
visitor to a Pilot representative.
This is a splendid and wholesome
recommendation for community we
hold above all others and which we
announce to the world as "The City
Beautiful"
Perhaps not all of the REIMBURSEMENT
sessions were worth your time. 1t
is a certainty that each and every per-
son in Wausau and the surrounding
country could have afforded to attend
a least two sessions. Seize oppor-
tunities when they are presented to
you free of charge, to hear others
than home speakers. Instead of a
few hundred all told interested in
the convention, there should have been
a thousand from central Wisconsin.
