An Oriental Meal.

There was nothing in the meal that
looked or even tasted like an Ameri-
can dish. The meat, folded up into
small squares, was cooked in oriental
ways, unknown to American cookery,
while the little rice connections, rolled
up in grapevine leaves, were as deli
cious as spinach, and the tiny sum-
mer squash, filled with an appetizing
stuffing, made pleasing dish. Pastry.
cheese and sweets were also different
from the customary American delica-
cies. and, lastly, the great Turkish

filled with Persian tobacco, replaced

Hare Lin Hereditary.

William F. Blades of the Eugenics
Record Office, Cold Spring Harbor, l..
l., is making special study of hare
lip and cleft palate, in which he is
carrying on breeding experiments with
several harelip strains of Boston ter.
riers. He finds that both hare lip
and cleft palate arc highly hereditary
in both man and animal. but he has
been unable to determine in what way
they are inherited. Mr. Blades finds
great difficulty in getting reliable sta.
tistics, owing to the fact that many
persons do their best to conceal slight
cases Of hare lip and cleft palate, espe.
cially if these have been partially OF
completely remedied by operation.

GOOD REMEDY FOR
PARALYSIS IN HOGS
Colorado Expert Recommends
Treatment for Ailment-
Cause of Trouble.

(By GEORGE II. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College.)
Partial or complete paralysis of the
hind legs of hogs is seen SO often in
swine herds that common cause
has been suspected but not definitely
determined.
Inbreeding, parasites, and an unbal-
anced ration, have each in turn been
assigned as the probable cause of this
particular form of paralysis, and now
it is quite generally attributed to a
lack of phosphate of lime. This salt
in a form that can be appropriated
may be deficient in the ration or not
properly appropriated by the tissues
of the body, or again, it may be be-
cause of a drain on the system for
phosphates to nourish the growing
fetus or the young after birth.
1t is a well-known fact that there
is deficiency of phosphate of lime in
the bones and other tissue of preg-
nant animals and in those that are
sucking their young. This is especial
~ true of the SOW. But this condition
is not confined to pregnant animals.
In one instance herd of A hogs, of
both sexes, and ages ranging from ten
months to two years, nearly all of
them were affected with partial or COM
plete paralysis of the hind legs. The
ration had been largely raw potatoes.
They appeared to suffer no pain, the
appetite was quite normal. A balanced
ration would probably have prevented
this condition. The following treat
ment has been recommended and
should be helpful in these cases. One
tablespoonful of cod liver oil, Is grains
phosphate Of lime and three drops of
fluid extract of nux vomica mixed with
the food twice day.

KEEP LAYING HENS
MOVING IN WINTER
Throw Their Feed in Litter OF
Some Kind and Make Them
Scratch for 1t.

Make your hens work for all they
get to eat. Keep them moving about
during the day as much as possible by
throwing their feed in chaff, cut straw,
shredded cornstalk or other material.
Give them as much of variety of
grain as you possibly can.
Wheat, oats, cracked corn, barley
and buckwheat are all good, but
should be mixed together when fed.
Never feed all of one kind of grain at
one time. They like a variety. For
green food, second cutting of clover
is one of the best. Cabbage, carrots
and mangel-wurzels can also be fed
to advantage. They should be fed at
least three times week meat of some
kind.
Beef scraps soaked and mixed with
bran, enough to take up the moisture,
answers this purpose. Skim milk add
ed to the mash will give good results.
Plenty OF fresh water and grit should
be where they can have access to it az
all times.

Now Live Fifteen Years Longer.

Crime he characterized as a disease,

At the end of the village the road
climbed again from the ravine and
emerged on open fields. A wall of
timber, dark and impenetrable as the
woods round an old chateau, rose at
the farther end of these fields-the
road cutting through it like tunnel

We walked on down the road. Below
the northern horizon, where they were
fighting now along the line Of the

artillery, as it had been rolling since
daylight, writes Arthur Ruhl in Col.
lier's Weekly And the autumn wind,
cold with the week of equinoctial rain,
pulling out of thickets and across re.
vines, brought, every now and then,

open space appeared another-and an.
other-they were scattered all over
that field, bright as the red peoples
which were growing in the stubble and
as still.
They were in various positions One
lay on his back, with one knee raised
like man day-dreaming and looking
up at the sky. Another was stretched
stiff with both hands clenched over his
chest. One lay in the ditch close be-
side us, his head jammed into the
muddy bank just as he had dived there
in falling; another gripped a cup in
o1e hand and spoon in the other, as
if, perhaps, he might have tried to
feed himself in the long hours after
the battle rolled on and left them
there.

the edge of the thick timber was

mans, so utterly did the gray sodden
faces and sodden gray uniforms merge
into anonymity. A squad of French
soldiers appeared at turn in the
road. Two officers rode beside them,
and they were just moving off across
the fields carrying shovels instead of
rifles. Looking after them, beyond the
belt of timber, one could see other par.
ties like theirs on the distant slopes
to the left, and here and there smoke
Two more French soldiers appeared
pushing a wheelbarrow filled with cast
off arms. With the boyish good nature
which never seems to desert these lit

and offered us few clips of German
cartridges They were burying their
