Formerly the toad was considered q veno-
nous reptile; but in our days its habits have
been more carefully Observed and its great
value to the pomoogist and gardener has been
fully established, on account of its propensity
for destroying insects, especially those injuri-
Gus to vegetation. We should therefore,
seduously cultivate the friendship and crave
the assistance of the insectiverous reptiles,
including the snake, as well as that of birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the cockroach,
mice and other vermin. Two or three do
mesticated toads would keep the coast clear
of these nud would be found moro desirable
than a cat, as they are wholly free from tres
passing on the rights of man as does the cat.
The toad is possessed of a timid, retiring ma
ture, loving dark and shady places, but under
kind treatment becoming quite tame. Many
instances are cited of pet toads remaining
several years in family and doing valuable
services with no other compensation than i'm
munity from persecution. All that is neces-
sary to secure thoir cooperation, indoor or
out is to provide them cool and safe retreats
by day, convenient access to water, and they
will go forth to the performance of their noe
turnal duties "without money and without
price, In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to market, and are purchased by the
horticulturists, who by their aid are enabled
to keep in check the multiplication of the in

1t is hard to understand why so many 9TH
erwise good farmers breed and feed really in
ferior COWS. One-third of all the mich cows
in the country are probably kept at an actual
loss. l assume that a COW which fails to give
800 gallons of milk per year, on an average
for four years after first calving does not pay
her way, and that 600 gallons per year may
fairly be taken as the least yield that can give
profit, unless the milk is very rich. But $50
gallons or 2200 quarts year is a higher yield
than the average of the million and half of
cows in the great dairy state of New York.
Thousands of COWS do much better than this;
they can be found in every township, and Of
ten whole herds average 800 gallons per year,
and some even l 1000 gallons and more If,
then, there are SO many cows much better
than the average and 50 profitable to keep,
how many there must be kept at q loss The
estimate of one-third the whole number is
none too great; 100000 to 800, 900 cows in
New York alone do not pay the cost of keep
lng-ten times this number in the United
States.
Where are these poor COWS that eat up the
profit of the better ones? Alas some can be
found in almost every herd satisfactory
average yield from the whole herd may be
very deceptive The only safety is to make
daily record Of the yield of every COW. This
seems a great deal of work, but really it is not.
II Is easily and cheaply done If only tried, and
it pays every time. Such a record brings out
the difference in COWS with great clearness,
and leads the way to a steady improvement
in the herd. know two dairymen who be-
gan with common stOck-cows that would av-
erage about 1876 pounds of butter year; and
without any purchases, except now and then
one OF good bull calf, but by keeping a rec
ord and making careful selections, they more
than doubled the production of their herds.
In ten years the herd of one averaged 2jO
pounds of butter year, and that of the other
now averages over 300 pounds.
The old, old lesson cannot be too often re-
peated. For profitable dairy, do not buy
COWS, but raise them. Keep careful record
of every milking, and make frequent tests of
the butter quality of every cows milk. Raise
the heifers of only the best third of the herd,
not the favorite COWS but those of the best
record Use only good bulls-the bull is half
the herd. Dispose of two or three cows-or
preferably onefourth of the herd-selecting
the poorest COW by record every year This
is the vital point-to make the dairy pay, or
the herd.-H b. Al0Ord.

The following very sensible advice is given
by the Massachusetts Ploughman to n CORE
spondent who asks for a remedy for garget,
LAYING used the standard nostrums as usual
without any good effect: whenever any
animal is out of health the first and most i'm.
portant thing to do is to find out the cause,
and If the cause has not already been remov-
ed no amount of medicine will work a perma-
nent cure. If the garget in this COW has been
caused by feeding Indian or cotton. seed meal
in too large quantities, it would be almost
useless to try to cure her by giving her garget
root or saltpetre while she was being thus
over-fed but, 10y reducing the amount Of meal
fed, the medicine may do some good. Bath
ing and rubbing the udder every time the COW
is MIXED is good practice. We put but
little faith in medicine, unless it is administer
ed by one who understands the cause of the
sickness, and also knows the power of the
medicine given. Many cows are killed every
year by medicine given by inexperienced men,
that would have recovered if nature had been
permitted to have her own way"

CoRN-sMUT EXPERIMENTS. -Prof. W. A.
Henry, of the Agricultural Department of the
Wisconsin University, in the report of the
Board of Regents of that institution, shows
that soaking seed corn in copper sulphate
and carbolic acid solutions does not always
prevent the attack of the troublesome fungus
known as smut. I'm this instance they were
of no avail" 1t is asserted that from five to
twenty per cent of the corn is lost through
the parasite. The Professor shows that one
spore (the seed of these lowest plants) may
produce 100 600, 600, 900 in a season. Surely
here is prolifoness. Prof, Henry's test in
feeding smut to cattle was startling in its ter
mination. The experiment is too costly and
cruel to be often repeated, but it seems to es

CnNA's USE FOR ANTS -China leads civil
lied countries in finding a use for its ants
Prof. Riley of the agricultural bureau, Wash
ington, has received from Han Chow an &C
count of curious use made of ants in that
part of China. It seems that, in many parts
of the province of Canton, the orange trees
are injured by certain worms, and, to rid
themselves of these pests, the inhabitants i'm
port ants frcm the neighboring hills. The
hill people throughout the summer and win
ter find the nests of two species of ants red
and yellow, suspended from the branches of
various trees. The trees are colonized by
placing the ants on their upper branches, and
bamboo rods are stretched between the differ
ent trees, so as to give the ants easy access TO
the whole orchard. This remedy has been in
constant use at least since 1910, and probably
dates from a much earlier period.
