If you find toad by the roadside, pu
him into your garden. He will find NOR
insects in night than you can kill in {
week. It 10 great mistake to abuse thu
toad. He Is an insect eater; a. Is also thu
garter snake.
The best ambitious vegetable will
soon be plentiful-the tomato. Every
man, woman and child should eat them
Il is no excuse that they dislike them
The physical system demands that they b.
freely used until grapes take their place.

A CORRESPONDENT of the COUNTRY Gen
tlemGn in Massachusetts writes that the ust
of Paris green on apple trees attacked by
canker-wOrms has proved effective in every
case, though heretofore these same tree.
have been defOliated by the worms. Trees
in an adjoining field where the Pari,
green has not been used look as if fire haG
passed over them. A sharp fight is thu
only resource left where the canker-worms
appear.
ShTRON RINDs.-Cut the fruit in quar-
tiers, clean out all the seeds and pulp, and
put to soak in salt water for two days
then soak in fresh water one hour. Then
put into clear cold water, bring to boil
ing heat, and boil till tender, then put tt
drain. Make . syrup of one quart OF
water and one pound of sugar. Boil the
rinds half an hour in this syrup, and
leave them in it till cold. Meantime,
while cooling, make syrup thick enough
to fall from the spoon in threads, and boil
the citr0n in it half an hour, then take II
out to dry.-Christian Union.
CRIBBING.-The habit is generally
caused by disordered state of the stom-
ach. 1t, however, sometimes is acquired
by habit or imitation. Either the horse
must be tied in such . manner that he
cannot get the mouth on the manger OF
any other object against which he can
crib, and the animal made to eat his food
off the floor, or the manger may be sus.
pended by ropes, pullcys and weights,
nicely adjusted, 50 that when the horse
presses the teeth upon the manger to crib,
the manger will sink down several inches,
and when he removes the mouth the man.
per will rise suddenly and strike him on
the nose. A few efforts to crib on man.
ger arranged on the above plan will gen.
orally succeed in curing the habit. Nuz
vomica and arsenicum are the chief rem.
edies for regulating the disordered state
of the stomach. Doses, five drops, three
times day, of either.-N. T. Herald.
STUFFED PoTAToEs.-Take large fine
potatoes, and bake until soft; then cut 8
round piece off the top of each. Scrape
out the inside carefully, so as not tt
break the skin, and set aside the empty
cases, with the covers. Wash the potato
that was taken from the inside very
smoothly, working into it, while hot, one
teasp0onful of cream or butter, for each
potato. Season with salt and pepper, and
teaspoonful grated cheese, for each
work soft by adding milk, gradually
put into q saucepan, and stir till well
heated. When very hot stir in one beaten
egg for six potatoes. Give one boil; fill
the skins with the mixture, replacing the
caps; return to the oven for three min
utes; serve upon napkin, from a deer
dish, the caps uppermost and hot. The
egg may be omitted. and double the quan.
tity of cheese used.
