Serving in Mexico.

From the National Food Magazine.
The order Of meals IN Mexico IS much
the same as IN other Latin countries
where the little breakfast OF coffee and
rolls, which in Mexico is called "desay-
uno," begins the day. On the haciendas
or great farms a heavy breakfast, called
"almuerzo." is served at o'clock and
sometimes takes the place CT desayuno.
Dinner. or "comida." is the important
meal OF the day, and is served from to
o'clock As practically all business IN
Mexico is suspended at 1 o'clock in the
afternoon and not resumed until 3. there
is plenty OF time even for clerks and other
employees 10 indulge in a comfortably long
dinner hour and a siesta or after-dinner
nap. But the luxury OF this custom is
atOned for by the lengthenlng OF the
business Gay TO 7 or s o'clock in the even
ing, which, 10 the AnglO-Saxon business
man or emplOye would seem a hardship.
Thus the supper, or 'cena." IS necessarily
served very late-usually about 9 O'Clock
and in the rural districts as late as 20.
and is often as punctilious as dinner In
the number OF its courses. As in the case
OF dinner, il IS usually accompanied by at
least one kind Of wine. Soup constitutes
the first course Of both these meals.

The success OF goats as land clearers
has led the United States government to
experiment in another direction. The
Forest Service will use 5000 Angoras in
the brush-covered hills OF California.
These peaceful little animals are ex-
pected to rob forest fires OF their terror
and to save the splendid trees which are
so often sacrificed TO the flames. If sue
eessful, the goats viii solve the chaparral
problem which has been so costly in the
past The scheme Is this: Fire lines are
10 be run parallel with the contour Of
the slope 5tIid are 10 act as guides for the
goats. The Angoras are to browse in
each direction from this belt. killing a.
strip of brush 300 feet wide. When the
fire strikes these clearuigs It must Of
necessity stop for lack Of fuel and grad
ually die out.
