During the first six months of 1877 the butchers who deal in horse flesh in Paris have delivered to consumption 5283 horses, donkeys, and mules, which furnished 959,730 kilos, of meat (net). During the corresponding period of 1876 the number of the animals was 1442, which gave 803,500 kilos. The increase is therefore of a marked character. The persons who endeavored to popularise the use of horseflesh affirm that it is more wholesome and more nourishing than beef, although often not quite so agreeable. Paris contains more than 50 butchers’ shops specially devoted to this article. A very good pot-au-feu may be made with the inferior morsels at the price of 25c. and 30c. the lb.
