With the announcement this week that a Twin City man plans to open a horsemeat market in Waterloo comes considerable comâ€" mentâ€"some favorable, and some not so favorable. 2304 tm .. MB 0 24 206 02 ts Th ce d e t s in t is One person asks the question as to "what will happen when the surplus farm horses are disposed of, as surely it costs the farmer as much to raise a horse as anyother beast. They have to be fed through the winter and if they are fattened for food it will cost moreâ€"s0 how can it be sold cheaply?" ht oodiich in tvli n tndbtocttninte, ahsâ€" Abd This particular person also thinks "it will be a ruse to sell horseâ€" meat because goodness knows what they will sell as horsemeat. Also it will take more inspectors to see restaurants don‘t buy it and serve it to the public at beef prices, and butcher shops would have to be closely watched, human nature being what it is." Pete Tremblay, proprietor of Waterloo‘s first horsemeat market claims that horsemeat will retail at less than half prevailing beef prices and should prove a godsend o families caught between the high cost of eating today and fixed incomes or limited budgets. The supplies come from a one million and a half dolllar Western plant, equipped with the most modern processing facilities and operating under close federal inspection. Horses are inspected before slaughâ€" tering and again after. Each quarter of meat entering the establishâ€" ment will have a government seal affixed thereto. We are inclined to ul;e \;l;l; idr. Tremblay that horsemeat for human consumption will be new to the local public and some will be prejudiced to the idea. â€" ied . Woo id n e td Li dlf spdnt Antuiiidirtedi h abtisce ns Actually the horse is one of the cleanest animals in existence and objections to eating horsemeat are largely psychological. One would not think twice if offered pork, chicken, or duck. Still they are not classed as "the cleanest animals." While we pr"e;lvu:!v; (ood sale of horsemeat in Waterloo, couple of weeks should provide the answer. This week‘s fine, sunny weather has been a godsend to the farâ€" mers of Waterle# County and a pleasure for everyone concerned. The view up and dc.:o;u'\t;:e (;rand River, mnliing !.hrough woodâ€" ed banks and past fertile farm lands, is a blaze of glory, with green and gold predominating in the spreading foliage.

He gets some real encouragement in those first discouraging months of loneliness and homesickness. _ This is a most excellent and useful kimd of public communities in Canada might well follow the fine e the folk of Kitchenerâ€" Waterloo. Through n;Iâ€"n; su;phed by the Red Cross, the Kitchenerâ€"Waterâ€" loo Council of Friendship gets in touch with the newcomer and helps him find housing and a suitable job. _ o ' TURKEY AND HOT DOGS (Boston Post) ‘The elevation of the onceâ€"lowly hot dog to a position of eminence in the butcher shop where it commands a higher price than turkey is one of the strange phenomena of our present day economy. Hot dogs now are priced at 70 to 75 cents a pound. Turkey ranges in price from 65 to 68 cents a pound. Not so many years ago when turkey wes a delicacy, that most folks were able to enjoy only on Thanksgiving and Christmas, the hot dog was regarded as strictly plebeian fare, acceptable only when the family exchequer was near depletion. Todayâ€"at 75 cents a poundâ€"the hot dog is actually a fancy item. No scientific survey has been made on the theory, but there are those who feel that the lowâ€"priced, common hot dog %L athar dave had a flavor and taste that the aristocrat frankfurt of fancy item.

A SOLITARY TREE (Windsor Star) One of the finest of autumn sights in eastern Canada is a solitary maple tree, glorious in its color, situated in the midst of a pasture or along a fence. There is grand magnitude in an entire forest, or in wooded hills and valleys, but there is something specially appealing in a single tree, against a background of green. 1 1 10.

In those ye.ri. when industry as a whole wase enjoying a considerâ€" able measure of prosperity, the prices of farm products were abnorâ€" mally low and the farmer was the lowest paid worker in the country When farm prices began to move forward they did not begin from a period of generally good prices.

Here‘s another instance. Most farmers (and many city people too) love to take a potâ€"shot at a fox whenever they see one. They seem to have the idea that the common red fox is a 'g;est and a nuisance, and should be deâ€" stroyed wherever posible. â€" But this is a mistake, and a serious one. Here‘s why. Foxes (and we‘re only speaking now of the common red variety in the south) depend upon meadow mice for a great part of their diet. In fact, it‘s been estimated by the experts that one fox may eat over two thousand meadow mice in one year! Now, by checking these deâ€" structive rodents, foxes help to Frolect farm crops of all kinds. or meadow mice destroy all: sorts of fruit and grain. You can see what a mistake it is to kill a fox! It‘s true that foxes will raid unprotected r)ultry. but _ if they‘re well fenced in they‘re safe, and the good work the foxes will do outweighs the bad. . . _ And, for the -rorumuh here‘s énother.
