Zoo Feeder Is Some Job.

will convince anybody that the man
who takes several hundred assorted
wild animals to board mas his work
cut out for him and plenty of it, The
hardest as we'll as the most impor
tant thing in such a job Of catering is
to find out just what will best agree
with each individual boarder. As
there are few creatures more easily
upset than wild animals in captivity
the task is by no means an easy thing.
Each animal has a different kind of
food. The bears, for instance, are fed
brown bread that is baked as solid
as rock; while the monkeys are
fond Of onions and vegetables The
carnivorous animals consume about
200 pounds OF raw meat a day. Beef
Is the only meat used. Big joints
are cut up for the lions, tigers and
animals of that class. There are doz.
ems and dozens Of little pieces OF meat
which are cut from the lean portions
and put in the big cages for eagles,
yultures, owls and other hesh.eating
birds.

SPRAYING SUGGESTIONS.

the bees and insects which aid in fer.

Secondly, to contro. %fungous Dis ase.
For the eating insects arsenate of led

From two to three pounds OF the pa2t,
or from n to one and one-ha'i
pounds of the powder should be mike I
with fifty gallons of water. For H.,
control OF the fungous troubles we may
use either dilute lime sulphur solu-
