uARMLEss REPTILE.

Not only are toads harmless, but they
arc absolutely and directly useful to us,
perambula,ing our fields and gardens a,
night, and devouring vast quantities Of
injurious insects which could never be dcs-
,royod by the hand of man The mode
in which toad takes his prey is very cu-
rious. The singulary beautiful eye of
the toad is as quick as i, is bright, and if
within the range Of lis vision an insect or
grub should happen to move, the toad is
sure 10 see it. aud nearly certain to catch
il. First. The toei holds It's head as high
as possible, 80 as to make sure Q. lis prey
and then crawls slowly toward it, pre-
tcrring to re, under it if possible. When
il is nearly within reach il gazcs in,cntly
at the insect, its mouth being gradually
brought nearer and nearer, Something
pink then flashes from its mouth, and the
inscc, vanishcG ns il by magic.
The pink flash is the tongue Of the
toad, which is formed in rather n curious
way. The base Of the tongue is fixed
close to the fron, of the lower jaw aud is
long aud tarcring, the tip pointing down
the ,hroa, when i, is n, rest When,
however, il is used for catching prey, il is
thrown GU, with a sort of flick aud the
tip, which is covered with glu.inous sccrc-
iion. adhcrcs to the insect, and conveys i,
down the toad's throat before the prey has
had time TO make an effort to escape.
When the toad swallows its prey, |, docs
ii with mighty effort. during which the
eyes almost disappear, the sizo Of the in
see, having little to do with the vchcmencc
of the demonstration. Sometimes, when
large beetle is swallowed, i, does strug-
gle, but too late. and for some time its
struggles may be seen through the thin
and riblcss sides of its captor; the toad
sitting the while in perfect composurc. no,
in the least affected by the scratching.
and kickings that are going on in its inter.
ior.
Indend the stomach Of the ioad seems
as devoid Of feeling as If it were Of iron
Moreover, the toad not only cares moth
ing for the scratchings and kickings Of .
largo beetle, but is equally Indifferent to
stings Of wasps. bees, and insects similarly
armed with vcnomous weapons. and vii
eat them with a marvellous appetite, as i

A GREAT cALlPORSfA ORCHARD.

Says tho Marysville Standard. few
days ago IL was our pleasure to visit tbs
orchard Of John Briggs. located about two
miles south Of Yuba City. in Sutter coun-
~. The proprietor is the owner Of 420
acres. mostly bottom land. lying along the
west bank Of the Feather river. The soil
is rich. sandy loan, and composed ol
the yearly deposits Of the river many
years ago. No better or richer land is 70
be found in the State. and the orchard We
shall briefly notice promises to DO the
pride Of the Briggs Brothers, who have q
State reputation % orchardisls aud fruit
growers.
Before reaching the orchard proper W
rode through Geld Of 150 acres Of castor
beans. growing in tho most luxuriant
manner, which field. by.the-way. 10 to
give place to new orchard next year.
the fruit trees for the same At present
growing in the nursery by the side Of the
field Of castor beans. and containing 25.
600 onc-ycar old budded peach trees. 49,
900 plum trees, G,000 eastern walnuts.
20, 900 California walnuts, 1900 apple
trees. 500 Italian chestnut trees, etc
Passing nlong through this forest Of young
trees, We arrived at the present peach or
chard, consisting Of 600 trees. two years
old, and some Of them bearing this season
l5O pounds Of peaches. These trees have
made remarkable growth. owing to the
rich ground upon which they are planted.
and in another year will make tremen-
dous yield Of fruit.
Passing the peach orchard We reached
the aprcots. 1900 in number. which were
also two years old, and have borne fair
crop the present season. This orchard
presented a sad sight in one respect. The
late heavy storm had pros,ra.cd many o1
the trees entire, while in others the limb.
had been torn Of as il tremendous tor.
nado had swept over the place. Howev.
cr. the trees were healthy and stout, not.
w,hstanding the mutiln.ions here and
there We next rode into tho cherry or.
chari, containing three thousand Of the
most thrifty young trees ever seen on any
grourd The different varieties, fifteen
in number. gave the orchard variety o.
aspect, and broke up the usual monotony
Of the steeple.ike formed cherry orchard
These cherry trees were all imported from
Rochester, N. Y. about three years ago
OF to tho south uf this wonderful vii.
derness arc two thousand five hundred
plum trees Of twelve varieties, and fv,
hundred apple trees, mostly Of winter va
rcties. On returning from tho orchart
by the wagon road we had entered, v,
visited briggs Brothers steam castor OF
mill. Here We found magnificent by
iraulic press, with eighty pounds pressure
and possessing a capacity Of comprcssinl
three hundred gallons of oil per day. Tn,
mill also contained twenty tons Of casto
beans, and two thousand FIVE hundred gal
Ions Of oil, nicely bottled and cased. anc
ready for market.
