use of Eliza, suu moIasses for
cattle and horse feeding is gaining in
popularity. Laws in many European
countries have been changed exempt
Ing these products from taxation when
they are to be used for feeding pur-
poses. When recently in Paris, our
attention was called to certain facts
that may be interesting TO our readers
The Omnibus company of the French
capital owns over 10000 horses, and
rs out of that number there are about
ZOO broken legs per annum, it was ar
gued that possibly these accidents
were in measure due to some faulty
combination of the daily rations.
In 1901 the first experiments we're
made, the one kilogram of sour mash
that had hitherto been used being sub
stituted by an alkaline molasses COM
bination. The results obtained were
encouraging beyond the most sanguine
expectations, and in 1902 the number
Of broken legs was only 70.
1t was concluded that the extreme
fragility of the animals bony structure
WAS due to the absence of the requisite
mineral elements in their rations
There appears to be ample medical au-
thority for asserting that heavy con-
sumers Of sugar, in cases OF bone frac-
ture, will recover more rapidly than
when that article of luxury is eaten In
moderation. In some hospitals, pa
tents that are laid up with compound
fractures OF legs or arms receive in ad-
dition to their regular food allowance
$50 grams of sugar, the cost of which
lis soon covered by the lesser period
needed for the complete healing of the
bony tissue.-SuRar Beet
