Keeps Aeros Right Side Up.

M. Moreau, Frenchman, who
through his experiments at Melun as
serts that he has discovered the Sc
cret of automatic stability for aero
planes, has just received $4,000 from
an anonymous patriot, and great ex-
citement has been created in aviation
if not in military circles by the inven-
ton. M. Moreau, before he took to
aviation was a printers workman, and
he has spent all his savings in per-
fecting his invention.
The novelty in his design, so far as
can be judged from what has been
made public, consists in suspended
cage that contains the seat of the pilot
and room for passengers 1t is de-
scribed as pendulum seat, and the
way 1t is attached under the frame

peller and the horizontal rudders in

Of Archaeology.

In the Journal Of the German Pal

gives interesting particulars Of fur

site OF Jericho by Professor Sellin.
The chief work of the past year, he
says, has been the laying bare OF the
great outer wall OF the city which
is described as something eXtraordin-
AIRY, even il lis present reduced state
something majestic and oyerwhelm-
ing. The excayatcrs found proof that
this outer wall is Is-aslitish work
The inner wall, which is badly PIE
served. Is the original Canaaui,ish de-
fence which fell 10 the blast OF Josh
ua's trumpets The outer wall is
identified as the work Of Hiel. whose
achievements are described in the

HOG PARALYSIS is
COMMON DISEASE
Trouble Is With Nervous System
and Not With Kidneys as
Generally Supposed.
tBy l.. l.. LEWIS. Oklahoma Experiment
Station.)

tBy l.. L. LEWIS. Oklahoma Experiment
Station)
Paralysis is a very common disease
among young sows after farrowing
and in young rapidly growing shoats.
The trouble is most commonly known
as kidney worms, and is frequently
referred to as some kind of kidney
disease. The trouble is with the nerv-
GUS system and not with the kidneys.
Before narrowing the SOW should be
fed on ground oats, bran, milk, etc,
with very little corn. Knuckling over
in the hind legs is generally the tirst
symptom. Should partial paralysis
begin to appear the following treat
ment should be given: Five to fifteen
grains of powdered nux vomica IN
feed twice a day, the dose depending
upon the size of the animal; also give
ten to fifteen grains of sulphate OF
lime in feed twice day. This treat
ment should be continued for weeHd
If necessary, as nervous troubles OF
this character are not to be remedied
by any treatment in few days.

MUSIC MAKES cow GIVE MILK
American Farmer Will Impart Discov-
cry to His European Brethren
Other Oddities Made Public.

1t seems there are plenty of ways Of
making money in this big world If
we only caught one of them at the
right time and the right place.
For instance, a Nebraska farmer
has just departed for Europe with the
idea in mind of teaching the dairymen
of Europe that you can get more milk
from your COW if you will only play
soft, dreamy, sentimental music near
her during milking time. American
experts appear to be convinced of the
worth of his discovery and he is plan
ming to make all sorts Of money by

Give Back to Soil Everything That
Could Be Fed in Way of
ManuriaI Value.

Manure has a peculiar effect upon
The ground In some ways it loosens
he food necessary to plants by quick
aning the chemical action of the soil,
and inert soil particles change into
active food constituents for the grow
ing plants. 1t is not alone the direct
,ood value that is at issue, but the
whole effect upon the physical, chemi-
cal and bacterial life of the soil that
must be considered. In England and
other European countries where the
soil has been titled for hundreds OF
years, the production today exceeds
that of former years. In fact the
wheat production in England during
the middle ages was not as good as
it is in the northwest today. At pres
ent England produces more than twen-
ty bushels of wheat to the acre,
France twenty-five. Austria about
eighteen, and the dtluctivity of the
fields of the Belgian and Dutch farm
er are almost beyond belief This has
come about by giving back to the soil
everything that could be fed it in the
way of manurial value. In this re,
spect American farmers have much
yet to learn.-Journal of Agriculture
