MOTHS AS FEATURE OF MENU.

Natives of Philippine Islands Consider
the Insects "a Food Delicacy. .
An article of food which is relished
by the natives Of the Philippine Islands
is procured by collecting large guam
titles of moths from the rocks OF the
mountainous regions. In several spots
in the mountains in Panay and other
islands of the group l saw moths ex-
listing so thickly in the rocky tissues
that they could be scraped off into
buckets by the quart. The moths
seemed to mass in the crevices and
hang there. The natives have not
failed to investigate the worth of the
moth as an article of food. and they
use the insects in large quantities.
Their mode of catching consists In
going to the hills In parties of dozen
or more, with the proper bag and ar
ticles for collecting the moths. The
dainty natives will not eat the wings
or the heads of the little moth, and so
they now take steps to remove these
Objectionable parts. This operation con-
sists in creating heat to such an extent
that the tissues in the heads and wings
become baked and crumble off. The
natives accomplish this end by cutting
holes in the earth. in which hot fires
are burned until the earth is quite hot
The hot Goals are taken away and the
moths are put into the highly heated
openings. The intense heat crisps the
head and wings to ashes, so that when
/ removed from the hole and subjected
to a sitting operation through netting
the powdered parts are sifted off, leav-
ing only the body. This process also
does away with the legs. Often the
moths in their present stage of prepar-
alton are eaten with sugar or other ar
ticles of food. Again the moths are
used in conjunction with other mix
lures of food In the form of pudding
| and prepared dishes. The cocoanut Is
literally used in mixtures with the
moth, and cocoanut cake and pie and
moth filings are common. Then in
some instances the moth is again
baked and reduced to powder by
pounding in rice-pounding bowls. The
powder obtained in this way is sweet
ened and used in various forms.-Chi.

(From Farmers Review Stenographic
Report)


AT the Wisconsin Roundup Insti-
tute, Stanley r. Pierce of Illinois told
how he grew the steer Advance, which
sold last fall for s2,145. or $1.5O per
pound. He said that this animal had
not been differently fed than most ami
mails intended for the show ring.
Q.-How did you feed Advance for
the last 80 days?
Ale was fed for the last 80 days
about the same as he had been fed
from the time he was five months old
He had, in addition to his rough Feed,
corn meal oats and bran. l fed him
these at the rate of A quarts twice a
day. He had some chopped beets,
mangels or turnips.
Q.-When you fed him beets chop
ped, how many did you give him per
day.
A.-About 10 pounds.
Q.-How long did you give him
milk?
Ale had his mothers milk till
he was five months old, and after that
he nursed Shorthorn cow for two
months more, after which l put him
onto grade Angus COW.
Q.-When you fed oats, were the
oats ground or whole?
A.-They were whole.
Q.-What kind of a mixer was the
mother of Advance?
A.-She was good mixer for few
months, but at the expiration of five
months dropped very rapidly in hel
milk yield. If she had been a better
mixer she would not have dropped sc

Peruna restores health In a normal
way.
Peruna puts right all the mucous
membranes Of the body, and in this
way restores the functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of
order, and the digestion impaired, Pc
runa quickly makes things right by
restoring the mucous membrane of the
stomach.
II the nerves tingle, if the brain is
tired, if the strength is tagging and
the circulation of blood weakened by
f1abby mucous membranes of the di-
gestive organs, Peruna reaches the
spot at once by giving to these mem
branes the vitality and activity which
belongs to them.
The pelvic organs are also lined
with mucous membrane which in the
female sex is especially liable to de-
rangements. Peruna is an absolute
specific in these cases. The women
everywhere are praising it No other
remedy has ever received such un-
qualified praise frem such a multitude
of women.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

horticultural Notes.

The life-retaining property of seeds
is Influenced to a very great extent
by the degrees of temperature and
moisture to which they are exposed
Stored seeds should be guarded against
both heat and moisture previous to the
time of planting them; and the spring
time is the season when they are most
likely to experience conditions that
excite termination. The seed that has
started to terminate and has been
checked is probably of less value than
the seed whose termination has been
held back till it is put into the warm,
moist ground.
Strong seeds only should be planted
If large crops are to be expected, and
the vitality of the seeds may be as
certained by testing them by any of
the ordinary methods. There are vari-
GUS methods for doing this. Some use
an incubator, as in that way the tenn
peralure can be kept under perfect
control. The mere sprouting of seeds
does not indicate their ability to grow,
as some seeds that sprout are so weak
that they are about worthless. Then.
too, some seeds that will sprout in a
warm room will not do well out of
doors. For this reason it is desirable
to sprout seeds under varying condi-
lions.

THE HARD FIGHTING YANKEE

TIE HARD FIGHTING YANKEE
The invincible good luck which fol-
lows the yankee genius and the Sec
ret Of bis success has been described
as a new discovery by a correspon-
dent in the London Engineering.
The writer says: "a gentleman
who had come in contact with a very
competent mechanic expressed the
opinion that he was the LATEST man
he had ever known;that.he was SO lazy,
and hated to work SO bad, that when
there was anything to be done he
would think of some little scheme to
do it better and quicker than the
ordinary way, so as to be able to do
it without work and would hustle
around lively making the scheme do
the work as he had planned it should"
In short Americans succeed in the
manufacturing world because they
are lazy. The correspondent proves
too much. If the American work.
mar succeeds because he is lazy he
would succeed better, according to
this logic, if he were lazier. The fact
is, the American mechanic is any
thing but lazy, physically or mentally.
And the correspondent admits the
fact further along in speaking of the
Yankee workman:
"He will give an easy job for a
harder one," writes this acute Eng
lishman, ''for the sake OF getting
where he can plan and improve, and
will forget how hard he is working in
bis pleasure in doing the work with
less exertlon than formerly it was
DONE"
In the latter statement the writer
has hit the nail on the head, for the
success Of the Yankee is by no means
due entirely to his superior natural
talent but to his hard fighting quail
ties and his persistency.
