SECOND-HAND FOODS.

There is nothing of worth in flesh foods that is not also to be found existing in vegetable foodstuffs. Flesh meat is, in fact, only costly second-hand vegetable food. Not only is that true but the production of flesh meats occupies an area enormously disproportionate to its nutritive value as tested by cost. Half an acre of land would suffice for the maintenance of an adult man sustained on grain, while twenty-two acres would be necessary to feed him on meats.—Vegetarian Messenger.
