AL FOND OF PEANUTS.
Delicacy Kelished by All Animals
Even the Hippopotamus Devcurs
Them with Pleasure.

the peanut is delioacy relished by
all creatures" said a New York animal
lover. 81 have come to this conclusion
after having offered it to every animal
in the Central Park zoo, and having it
refused by none.
ooh, | know it isn't allowed; but I'm
not one of those individuals who offer
animals indiscriminate numbers OF
hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese
sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for
that sort of nuisance the rule about
feeding is made. A single peanut can't
ruin the digestion of a camel-or of
any other creature, for that matter,
and never visit the ZOO without a
bag or two of those legumes to dis
tribute.
Eyes, the camel is fond of them
very; and so are the peacocks. The
hippopotamus obligingly opens his
mouth to let me toss one in, but the
mouth is so large and the peanut so
small that I doubt if he can quite de-
eide whether he likes it or not.
"The kangaroo pokes his funny,
horse-like head out to me, munches the
peanut with relish, and then begs for
more. The elephant, deer, ostrich, and
even the lion, are all lovers of the pea
nut"

newly introduced parasite, Calliephial-
ties messer
The cooling moth is unquestion-
ably the most destructive and most
widespread of all of our insect pests,
and is found practically wherever ap-
pies or pears are grown. 1t was in
PRODUCED into California shortly after
the completion of the transcontinental
railroad, and was first observed in
1870, since which time it has spread
rapidly over the whole state until
there are few orchards, and these only
in isolated districts, that are free from
the pest.
During all these years the apple and
pear industries have been growing and
extending until they have become of
first rank among the orchards of the
state The only method of keeping the
pest in check has been by means of
spraying with Paris green or other ar
senical compounds, and this naturally
involves great deal of outlay for ma
terial and labor, and in spite of the
most efficient work, a large percent
age of the fruit is lost.
California having been successful
with several introduced insects in
keeping in check some of the inju-
rious species, determined to make the
experiment of discovering and intro
ducing an effective parasite for the cod
ling moth. 1t was urged that over very
large sections of Europe, where the
apple was extensively grown, the cod
ling moth had been known for a
great many years, dating as far back
as history itself, and yet a very large
percentage of the fruit was uninjured
by the moth. From this fact it was
argued that there must of necessity be
some natural cause which prevented
the increase of the destructive insect,
and experience has shown that this
cause was in all probability a para
site insect Upon these lines, an agent
of the California horticultural commits
sion was dispatched to Europe with
instructions to discover the cooling
moth, and discover and forward, if
possible, the natural enemies which he
might find working thereon. In &C

DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without 1t.

A physician says: Until last fall
l used to eat meat for my breakfast
and suffered with Indigestion until
the meat had passed from the stom-
ach.
Last fall began the use of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found l could do without meat, for
my body got all the nourishment
necessary from the Grape-Nuts, and
since then l have not had any indi-
gestion and am feeling better and
have increased in weight.
Since finding the benefit 1 derived
from Grape-Nuts 1 have prescribed
the food for all of my patients suffer
ing from indigestion or overlooking
and also for those recovering from
disease where l want a food easy to
take and certain to digest and which
will not overtax the stomach.
Il always find the results I look
for when 1 prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"

The reason for the wonderful
amount of nutriment, and the easy di-
gestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to
find.
In the first pie E the starchy part
of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes of cooking, to per-
fectly change the starch into Dextrose
or Post Sugar, in which state it is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood. The parts in the wheat and
barley which Nature can make use
of for rebuilding brain and nerve CEN
ters are retained in this remarkable
food, and thus the human body is
supplied with the powerful strength

FEMALE IN ACT OF OPPOSITION.
cordance with this plan, Mr.. Compere
Travelled extensively through Europe.
and discovered in the apple-growing
sections of Spain an Ichneumon fly
working upon the cooling moth in its
pupal form. With much labor and diff
ficulty, he obtained a large number OF
ifornia commission, where they have
been bred in confinement and distrib-
uted widely through the apple and
pear orchards of the state.
1t is yet too early to assert how eff
fective this parasite will prove in
checking the spread of the cooling
moth. Reports have been received
from orchards in which it has been
distributed stating that it is multiply
ing rapidly and taking hold of the
work in good shape, and that the pest
has been largely reduced. This is the
report for one season, however, and a
season that was not propitious for the
breeding of the cooling moth, as the
apple and pear crops were both light
something to do with the reduced num-
Der of codling moths breeding that
season.
There is one difficulty to be appre-
hended in connection with this para
site, and that is that it attacks the
pest only after it has left the fruit
and gone into its pupal stage. The
pupae are not found around the trees,
but are widely scattered, being found
in the walls of old buildings frequent
ly, in old fences, and any other con-
venieat hiding place, and are often so
widely scattered that it would seem
Difficult for the parasite to seek them
out in sufficient numbers to materially
check their increase. At the same
time, there is a possibility that the
parasite may not confine its work to
the codling moth, but, like many 9TH
er of the Ichneumon flies, may attack
other species OF the Lepidoptera. These
are matters which the future has to
prove, and all that can be said for the
codling moth parasite at the present
time is that It is an experiment, and so
far q very promising one.
