Re - Wha 171 t Are You Doing To KINGSTON® ONTARIO, BATURDAY, JULY 24, 1915 THE MEAT IN BRITAIN GRAVE The Breeding Stock Has Been Sacrificed by Farmers on the Altar of High Prices. One Plan to Meet the New Conditions is to Prohibit the Slaughter of Any Animal Without the Per- the Government. 1 ~put on the market without there hav- mission of London, July 24.--The meat prob- lem in Britain has been forced to, the front as one of the inain issues] caused by the war. There is. a cry now that the nation's breeding stook is being sacrificed on the altar of high prices, and that in the event of the war's lasting a longtime the situation will amount almost to a famine, not only of meat, but of milk as well. One of the official. leaders in the Times states that already many farmers have begun to dispose of im- mature and breeding stock to the butchers, so that they may be re- lieved from feeding them at the pres- ent high prices for grain. Sixty per cent. of the meat--beef, mutton and veal---consumed in Brit- ain Is home product during normal times. Now, with figures of the cone sumption. for the army and navy available and with large consign- ments coming in. from the United States and the Argentine, it is not! possible to say just what the per- centage is, but it js known that the actual amount of meat slaughtered here Is far greater than it_has been before in the nation's history, 1 To Restrict Slsughtering. This extra quantity is, of course, | 1 PROBLEM BOUGHT A PAIR O BOOTS BY MAIL, N' THEY RE NEARLY KILLING ME. SERVES ME RIGHT.

I=i=] of. =i=i=] | ing been any preparations for sup-| plying it, and it must come out of | the reserve stock of the breeding farms. { Two plans have been suggested for meeting this condition. The firsty and most drastic proposed is that an order be issued prohibiting the] slaughter of any an"mal without per- | mission from the Government. This wou'd mean that farmers would be forced to keep their breed- ers, but it also would be of the great- est hardship to some of the smaller owners who dre just getting along now by the occasional sale of one or two of their cattle. Lack of rain and the Government demand for grain have caused pastures to be poor and other feed to be out of the reach of any except the wealthiest class. The second suggestion, and the one that finds the greatest favor in! all eircles, is to have the Crown pay a subsidy to those who keep their! breeding herds intact at a financial loss to themselves. This would be worked out by appraising the value of the animals as it would be under normal "conditions and giving the owner. the difference between 'that | amount and the present market | price.

Officers and men were struggling in {the canal for their lives, and those who did 'not drown were shot down as soon as they crawled to land.
