Allan told the wembel'e of the Harnerr, Hunters and Saddle Hone Society yesterday that Can- adians engaged In handling cattle come learn a great deal from 81- brrta, where every valuable part of an *Moat is used. "There their pro- cesses of utilisation are so complete that wbat 1s considered offal In this country Is made to return 30 to 85 per cent. of the value of the animal. In that country, width C4nedlane eourWered barbarous, and which war so little understood here, such pro- gress had been made that It was the greatest menace to the seeress of the Canadian rattle trade, and oar inadequate methods must be improved or Canada would never be able to withstand the competition." We had supposed that Chicago led the world to the utilisation of the by-products of the meat Industry, It being a popular saying that every portion of a hog except the squeal has a commercial value. It would be Interesting to have Mr. Allan tell what parts of a beef carcass are wasted la the Targe American slaughter houses. Not the meat, the tallow, the hide, the hair or the bone,. Even the blood 1a used In the manufacture of buttons, and the borne end hoofs are not waited. It the Siberians have found something valuable In s "beef critter" which has escaped the observation of Mr. Armour, what es It ?"

Of course the United States have 'he right to seek to exclude Great ,orttaln from the Cuban market. but 1t Is not Just the kind of recognition some people would have expected them to make of Great Britain's course in the U. 8 -Spanish war.
