Toads in the Garden.

We once knew a good farmer who
when he found toad on any part Of
his farm took pains to catch 1t and re-
move it to his garden. He said that in
this way his garden became so stocked
with toads that they destroyed thou
sands Of insects with no cost or trouble
to himself. 1t Is very interesting
sight to see the toad helping himself
to insects. Sluggish as he appears,
whenever an insect comes within reach
Of his long tongue it is darted out and
that insect is seen no more. They will
eat potato bug larva, but we never saw
them attack the malodorous bugs that
attack melons, squashes and cucum.

Working Three-Horse Teams

The true economy of team work is
better understood by Western farmers
than by the average of farmers in the
East. 1t is to the Western farmer that
we owe the idea of cultivating hoed
crops with two horses. requiring no
stoppageS, While the man may if he
chooses ride behind and manage the
hoes, so that none of the grain is de-
stroyed. 1t is rather more difficult to
turn two horses on a cultivator at the
end of the row. Therefore, this plan is
best adapted to large fields where the
rows are long. But three horses will
on heavy plowing do nearly twice as
much as will two horses. Now that
horses are cheap, it is the farmers in
terest more than ever before to make
horse labor accomplish all it will, with
as little as possible of the much more
expensive human labor-Cultivator.

SIN ut in Corn,

1t is general rule in farming that the
same crop should never be grown on
land two years in succession. With
most crops exhaustion of the kinds of
plant food required by the crop makes
this rule imperative. The second crop
is so far inferior that it does not yield
a profit. But corn derives it's nutrition
so largely from the air that it can be
grown in succession so far as the sup
ply of plant food is concerned. But it
is found in the West where this policy
has been mostly practiced that the
smut on stalks and ears is so greatly
increased as in some cases to take one
fifth or more of the crop. The smut
spores live in the soil through the win
ter, and are ready to attack the corn
very early if planted on the ground
where corn was grown the year be-

In this way water Of proper warmth
can always be secured for cattle, and a
tub or kettle kept full all the time will
add greatly to their comfort. 1t Is well
for all stock to run out Of doors in cold
weather for a while each day, but the
animals ought never to be forced to
drink water nearly or quite down to the
freezing temperature. We have scores
of times seen COWS turn away from the
water under a hole in the ice because
they were so chilled that further drink
ing Of icy water was impossible. Much
of the lack of thrift Of cattle in winter
is due to drinking Ice cold water, and

To Prevent Posts from Decaying.
1t is the rapid alienation from cold
to heat and from dry to moist that
makes posts decay so rapidly. This is,
of course, worse on sandy soil, through
which the air rapidly percolates, while
in the heavy soil the air does not enter.
The best preservative, for posts in any
kind of soil is to thoroughly dry them
and then char their surface. After rub
bing off the flakes Of coal dip the char
red ends in oil, taking care that both
the charring and the oiling come up
above the point where the post enters
the soil Posts treated thus have been
found sound after fifteen or twenty
years, when, without this treatment,
posts on sandy soil had rotted at the
junction with the ground after eight
or ten years service.

Rings in Bulls Noses.

Two recent attacks by bulls on their
owners in Connecticut call attention to
the danger which always exists even
from bulls that are regarded as gentle
and entirely safe. The fact is, no bull
over one year old is to be trusted. Even
without meaning malicious attack, he
is liable in mere play to make wound
bringing blood. Then, however gentle
he may have been before, the sight of
the red fluid will infuriate him. The
only safe way is to put stout ring in
every bulls nose when he is year old.
Then with a cord through this and a
stout stick with hook at the end to
catch the ring and hold the animal at
a distance, the most vicious bull may
be safely led.

 "Official announcement was made yesterday by President Fordyce of the Cotton Belt, of the appointment of A. <. Dodge as traffic manager, effrc- tive at once. MT. Dodge entered upon the discharge of his new duties yes terday.
 It will be remembered that on April '. 1896, when the Southwestern Traffic Association was organized Mr. Dodge resigned his position as traffic manager of the Ct tton Belt to accept u position on the Board of Administration of the Association named.
 After the resignation of Chairman Day two weeks ago, Mr. Dodge, N he then occupied the position of vice chairman. was urged to accept the chairmanship. He was fayorably inclined until Mondays meeting of the association. when the salary of the chairman was reduced to$7 ,500. This figure did no meet Mr. Dodge's views and decided him to withdraw " from the race and return to his old place on the Cotton Belt, which had never beer filled and remained Ut his disposal.
 Mr. Dodge is too well known in railroad circles to require any ex- tended mention. He is about II years of,age and splendidIy equipped for the position of traffic manager He left the service of the NJ, K. x T in 1892 to assume the management oi the Cotton Belts traffic department and filled the position with eminent success until his resignation in 1896 His headquarters will, of course. be St. Louis.
