Importance on equine family lines, to look

not likely to be disappointed. AT the
Blood Horse races in San Francisco. on
Tuesday, he beat out Sorrento in mile

Il. A. Spencer reports having recently
placed couple of codlin-moths, taken
from an E-sreet garden, in the small brass
tube of magnifying- glass, and there safely
confined them. A few days later the moths
were dead, but in their stead were hundreds
of the little red spiders that do such deadly
work on fruit trees. This fact shows that
orchardists cannot regard their trees as
safe by simply killing off the Goblin
moths, but must keep up the warfare
against their progeny.
