PEANUTS AS CATTLE FOOD.
Recommended by British Imperial In-
 stitute After Experiments.

London, Aug. 31.-Peanuts, locally known as monkey nuts, are recom- mended as cattle food by the Im- perial Institute, after series of ex- periments with a view to finding a substitute for the higher priced foods.
 Before the war. these nuts were imported in great quantities both by Germany and France. They were crushed and pressed for oil and the residue pressed into cakes for cat tie. But England used but a small quantity as the people, when they eat them at all, eat them raw, being ig- norant of the fact they are improved by roasting.
 India, China, and Africa are the great producers of peanuts, although they are being introduced into Brit ish tropical dependencies.
