WHAT NOT TO KILI.-The French Minister of
France has done good deed in causing a placard
to be posted, which it would be wise for citizens
OF all countries to have before their eyes. 1t tells
farmers, sportsmen, boys and others what crea-
lures not to kill, as follows:
Hedge-hog-Lives mostly on mice, small ro-
dents, slugs and grubs- animals hurtful to agri-
culture. Don't kill the hedgehog.
Toad-Farm assistant; he destroys twenty to
thirty insects per hour. Don't kill the toad.
Moie-Is continually destroying grub5, larvae.
tmre No trace Of vegetation IS ever found in its
stomach. Don't kill the mole.
Birds-Each department loses several millions
annually through insects. Birds are the only
enemies able to contend against them vigorous
ly. They are the great caterpillar killers and ag-
ncultural assistants. Children, don't disturb
their nests.
Lady bird-Never destroy, for they are the
best friends of farmers and horticulturiStS, and
their presence upon aphis-ridden plants is bene-
