Horses.

Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, January 19, 1856

     A dead horse is worth $17.50 in New York. His hide is sold to the tanners, his bones are burned and sold to the sugar refiners for refining purposes, and to the farmers for manure; his meat is pressed and the grease is used by the soap and candle makers; while the remnants and entrails are fed to hogs, to make food for home consumption. The average death of horses in that city is twenty-two daily.
