-MUSK OX MEAT
FROM ALASKA
FOR MARKET
News that the inhabitants of set
tlements in northern Alaska are eking
out their supplies of meat by hunting
caribou, and thereby greatly reducing
the cost of living, calls attention to
Vilhjalmur Stefansson’s prediction
that “reindeer and musk ox meat will
be quite common foods in the United
States within the next fifteen years.”
^Stefansson knows at least whether
the flesh of these animals is good
r food, for in his explorations within
the Arctic circle he has always lived
on the country instead of burdening
himself with unnecessary supplies.
The reindeer, the musk ox and the
caribou are promising subjects for
domestication—the first-named espe
cially having shown its adaptability
for this purpose in the hands of some
thousands of Eskimos to whom it now
represents a considerable source of
wealth. The musk ox in lesser degree
has been demonstrated to be a valu
able food animal, suitable for breed
ing under restraint. The caribou will
continue for some time to rank as
game, but opinions of explorers that
it, too, can be domesticated are en
* titled to consideration.
The value of this new source of
meat lies in the fact that the ani
mals in question thrive on species of
Arctic forage suitable for no other
purpose. Thus, if we can convert a
few hundred thousand square miles of
hitherto unproductive land into pas
ture we may be able partly to atone
for the disappearance of the great
ranges of our own country. We can
never hope to restore the meat prices
of former years, when the range was
free, so long as we are compelled to
feed to our stock the products of dear
land and expensive labor.
Yet there are many obstacles in
the way of establishing so revolu
tionary an industry on a scale suf
ficiently large to make an impression
on the world’s supply. The dietary
conservatism of the people is one of
these. Only two years ago we were
in the midst of a great experiment
in whale meat. Scientists agreed that
it was nutritious, those who ate it
said that it was palatable, and it was
offered at a lower price than other
meat. Nevertheless interest in it
flagged as soon as the novelty wore
off. Our natural inclination seems to
be to cling to porterhouse steak, even
though it should go to a dollar a
pound.
