a sticky mixture like thick molasses
and water. The fan is held under the
vine with one hand while with the 9TH
er the operator strikes the leaves so as
to knock the hoppers down upon the
fan. An insect net shown at Fig. 2 is
also used. With this the vine is Jared
and as the insects fly a few skillful
strokes with the net will catch most
of them, and they may be crushed or
emptied into kerosene.
Prof. Woodwork says that the net
and the fan methods are the only ones
which are at all practical for summer
use. He observed that nearly 80 per
cent. of the hoppers were killed by the
net method while working with gang
large enough to cover about five acres
a day. About half of the gang of men
were green hands, part white and part
Chinese, and at the rate of wages the
cost per acre would be between Is and
20 cents. This is an illustration of the
value of scientific agricultural work.
Such pests are sure to come. The av-
erage farmer cannot afford time and
study needed to understand how to
fight such insects or diseases. There
must be scientific men somewhere with
nothing to do but to study these mat
tiers and give their results freely to
the world.-Rural New Yorker.

THE SAVING {, 'A.lIRYMAN.

One saving dairyman, not q sstingy
one, will make more money than two
extravagant ones.
First, dairyman shoqld.be saving Of
his cows, as cow we'll cared for. will be
a useful and profitable animal for sew
eral years longer than one5fill fed, ill
housed and ill treated. IT,. =.
Even in summer cows should not be
left exposed to violent transforms. but
should be sheltered where there is less
danger of their being struck by light
ming, as when huddled together under
trees, or being chilled by prolonged
drenching. The latter, especially, Is
damaging to the milk yield, for have
noticed that cows always shrink in
milk after exposure ito storm. Wise
economy calls for measures that will
obviate this, namely, dry, warm shell
ter.
Be saving also of your feed. For in.
stance, in giving mich stock corn fod.
der, when they trample it under their
hoofs and waste as much as they eat, il
is the dairyman who is wasteful, not
the animals. I find that the most
economical way of feeding corn fodde,
is to spread it before the cattle when in
stanchions, and only give them what
they will eat up clean. ~.s.
To be saving of the feed in the pas.
lures don't put more stock into the
field than it will support. On farm not
long ago I heard them talking about
the COW pasture, horse pasture, sheer
pasture and calf lot. knew the owner
was on the right track, as it implied
that he kept his stock separated. Milct
COWS never do as well when compelled
to pasture in common with other cat
tie.
Then, again, do not waste the milk
Even drop of milk, which may repre-
sent the growth of one grass root, can
not afford to be wasted. In the frs
place secure all of the milk from tn,
cows udder by patient stripping. TIL,
richest comes last, and you cannot at
ford to lose even a drop.
1t is nota stingy course to see that tn,
milk pals, pans, cans, ETC., are vel
cleaned; and that your hired hands ar,
so kind to the cows that the animals d.
not frequently kick over the milk pail
and spill the fluid. Perhaps the mos
efficient way to save milk is to preserv'
it's quality so we'll that none is waste.
by souring or tainting.
Be saving of the butter you make
In figuring on a good yield of butte
from the cream, do not make the mis-
take of mixing some of the casein O
milk in with the butter fat. This i
done by skimming loppered milk, unde
the superstition that it is economy
when it really is the grossest extrava
gance, for you can never make frs:
class butter that way.

fourth year,, but then lays over 1000
eggs a year. It has lived two years
without food, but cannot live long I'M
der water. It never takes dead or mo-
tionless food. It takes it's food by
means of it's tongue alone, and it oper-
ates this so rapidly that the eye cannot
follow it's motions. It captures and de-
yours bees, wasps, yellow jackets, ants,
beetles, worms, spiders, snails, bugs,
grasshoppers, crickets, weevils, cater
pillars, moths, etc.
The station examined with micro
scope the contents of the stomachs OF
seven toads in April, 80 in May, 66 in
June, 26 in July, ten in August and
seven in September-149 in all. On an
average it was found that 80 per cent
of the toad's food consists of harmful
insects, and II per cent. was of such
beneficial insects as bees, spiders, lady
bugs, etc.
The stomach that doesn't finch at
yellow jackets, wasps, blister beetles
and click beetles or pinch-bugs would
seem to be prepared for anything in the
insect line, and it doubtless is.
The quantity of food that toad's
stomach can accommodate is remark
able. In one were found " myriapods,
in another IS army worms, in another

nine ants, six cut worms, five myria-
pods, six sow bugs, one weevil and one

In "a hours. the toad consumes enough
food to fill it's stomach four times,
Feeding at the rate above mentioned
a single toad will in three months de-
YOUR over 10000 insects. If every ten
of these would have done one cent dam
age the toad has saved ten dollars.
Evidently the toad is a valuable
friend to the farmer, gardener and
fruit grower, and can be made espe-
cially useful in greenhouse, garden and

The Cost of Production,

Some cows produce butter at a fair
margin of profit, others produce good
large profit and others produce butter
at loss. In other words, the cost of
keeping, feeding, milking and handling
is more than the return in milk and
butter from such cows. It is a self-evi-
