the blrth-rate for France, as a whole decreased
from 31.S per thousand to 1876, while in some
departments, like Garonne, it is only 1876; in
certain parts OF Normandy and Gascony it Is
as low as 100 and even 8. According to Stats.
tics published by the city of Paris in April of
last year there was an average of but one birth
IN the capital for every thirty families during
the past year.
Parallel with the decreasing birth-rate has
gone steady dimnution in the size of French
families. In 1900 each household had an aver.

$40, now 1t Is slightly more than two and
among many categories of persons, like the
wealthy OF Paris poorly paid state employees
ana small landed proprietors in certain prov

low as LIS
Ihey observe that among the Slavic peoples

ance of the teachings of the Greek Church. the
birth rate has never fallen below standards

Germany, where the religious spirit peryades
the majority of families, the birth rate is still
adequate to political requirements. The same
is true of Italy. Among the great Powers 1t Is
only france that makes war upon religion, and
which suffers this peculiarly distressing conse.

following important points,

OF these may contribute toward tie checking Of
the evil, but in a reform Of the norris and Gus.
toms OF the French people. There must be- a
fundamental change in the attitude of French
men and women toward the obligation to rear
famflies; there must be an awakening to the
duty which deyolves upon the citizen to con.
tribute to the perpetuty of his race through the
rearing OF children as to defend it in time of
war or TO pay taxes for the maintenance of
government. Any and all measures which shall
contribute toward an awakening of the people
to the Importance OF this national duty are
worthy OF encouragement and of adoption. Tho
solution of the problem is not dependent upon
external measures aud remedies; it is to be
found almost entirely in the moral sentiments
and social customs or the people themselves. -.

Garner, of the University of Illinois, has IL.
Illuminated 1t with some startling details and
conclusions.
Referring to the returns from the census or
1912. he writes: THE Partisan journals
characterized the conditions which they re.
vealed by such terms as 'deplorable,' pro
foundry desoating,' extremely disquieting,
'lamentable' and 'dolorous.' The prevailing
tone of their comments was as If the country
had experienced some great calamity or had
suffered n national bereavement. So profoundly
impressed was the Government that it pro-
ceeded at once to appoint an extra PaIlia-
mentary commission tthe second since 1902 to
investigate the question of depopulation and
to recommend measures for combating the
evils which threaten the extinction of the
nation"
Professor Garner quotes these significant
statistics In 1901. the number Of births in
France was 100000. by 1886 the number had
fallen to $4,000 in 1876 it was $4,000 i1f1s96,
S07 900; in 1901, 857,114, and in 1911, 742,114
In 1897 the number of births exceeded the
number Of deaths by 100000; in 1902 the ex-
cess was. $4,000; In 1906 1t was only 26 900, and
in 1911 there was, as have said a deficit of
34,S60, an amount equal to the loss of city
the size Of Luneville, Verdun or Barbecue
While the natural increase in the population

quantity, the average annual excess of legti.
mate births over deaths in Germany is at pres
ent in the neighborhood of 10000 Qast year it
was 100000; in Austria Hungary moro than
100000; in the United Kingdom nearly 500, 900,
and in Italy more than 100000. The fact that
Germany In particular is adding by natural in.
crease nearly a million souls to her human re-.
sources every year, while France is not only
adding nothing to hers, but, on the contrary, is
losing portion of what she has, is not only
source of disquietude, but of genuine alarm

BY DR.. Hans Huldricksen,
The Eminent Swedish Psychologist.

A MONG the various theories which try to
~ set up some excuse or justification for
war. probably the most fallacious Is
that war performs useful national function in
killing off the unfit The truth is that war does
nothing of the kind. War is ruthless in Its de.
nand upon the nations for the first flower OF
their male human product
Those who fall in war are the young men
of the nations. the men between the ages OF
eighteen and thirty-five, without blemish SO far
as may be-the men of courage alertness, dash
and recklessness the men who value their
lives as naught in the service of the nation"
Thus wrote Professor David Starr Jordan
three years ago in discussing the relation be-
tween war ard manhood.
The unfit" are not wanted N the armies.
The problem Of what to do with the vice and
poverty-bred wretched horoes of London
"Hooligans" was not solved when England was
in sad need of more soldiers during the Boer
war. The army wouldn't have them, simply
because they were unfit" Entirely worthless
at home they were not worth transportation
to battlefields where they could be stood UP as
targets for Boer rifles.
At the present moment France and Germany
are drained Of their best. young manhood to
serve as marks for each others bullets These
are the very men of which the future of France
has the gravest need, for they are the nations
breeding men, and France is starved for lack
of children. 1t Is a wanton waste of her most
precious asset. France realizes it's pressing
need of not less than 100000 more births per
year. That need was confessed by the French
Government long before the present war be.
gan. And now the need is multiplied by sacri
icing the potential fathers to the Moloch Of
war.
The high infant death rate of France and
the low birth rate are now supplemented in
their disastrous results to tho nation by a
several fold more disastrous death rate among
her breeding men.
Even without the enormous losses of her
breeding men which must result from this war,
Frances waning population had begun to make
her plight almost desperate. Every one is
familiar with this fact in general way. But

Hog Feeding.


The life of the hog that makes
money for his owner must be one
continual round pleasure. With
him there should be but two issues,
viz: eating and sleeping. 1t is very
well while hog is growing to let
him work for his own living, as it
were, by rustiing in the pasture, do
ing a certain amount of roofing for
bait. but as the finishing season
comes on everything possibleshould
be done to contribute to laziness
and inactivity.
The fattening hog always relishes
a change of bedding. What man
is there who has not felt more than
repaid for the labor involved in
cleaning out hog pen, and bedding
down the same simply by the smil-
ing countenances of his hogs when
they were admitted to the newly
cleaned quarters. If animals under
any circumstances can possibly ex-
perience a feeling of gratitude, and
express it outwardly, we believe
that it done under these conditions
A bunch of we'll hogs can have an
enormous lot of fun in working
over a clean bed, and we believe
that it contributes immensely to
thrift and it aids much in fat
tening
There good time can be added to
still more by introducing some vari-
ETY. into the ration. Straight corn
will not make as cheap gains as
corn supplemented with a little
oil meal or tankage. These supple
mentary foods are exceedingly
palatable, and they are very rich in
flesh forming qualities. They will
answer every purpose when fed and
if shelled corn is used instead OF
ear corn, simply place the supple
mentary food on top of the shelled
corn when it is put into the trouehs
A feed of soaked oats or ground
barley occasionally will be relished
and it tends to whet the appetite
and keep the hogs on full feed with
out running the risk of making
them stale.
In matters of this kind one car
be guided a little by his own appe
tite. None of us would care to be
compelled to live in the same thing
meal after meal; and we have no
ticed that successful swine men act
as if the hog were built little on
the same plan. 1t is simply anoth
g way of giving the porker a eooC
time. Variety in the ration means
that little surprises will keep {
bunch of hogs ever eager for thu
next meal, and while they are iI
this condition. it may be depended
upon that they are making th'
best kind of use of their grain
