observed its habits. Additional facts
nave been secured by recent observa-
lions at the Massachusetts experiment
station which show II per cent of the
toaus tood Is composed of insects and
spiders beneficial or Indirectly helpful
to man, and so per cent Of insects and
other animals directly injurious to Gull
tlVated crops or in other ways obnox-
ious to man. The toad feeds on worms
snails, SOW bugs, common greenhouse
pests and the many legged worms
which damage greenhouse and garden
plots. 1t fe eds to soma extent on grass

numbers Of ants. It consumes a con-
siderable number Of May beetles, rose
chaSers. click beetles or adults Of the
WireWorm, potato beetles and cucumber

worms and army worms.
To all agriculturists the toad renders
conspicuous service, but the garden
ers and greenhouse owners may make
this animal Of especial value Every
gardener should aim to keep q colony
OF toads among his growing crops, and
the practice Of collecting and trans

II there Is sufficient food supply
Many farmers provide toais with artifi-
c1al shelters made by digging shallow
holes in the ground and partially cover
ing them with a bit of board or fiat
stone. In such places toads will often
remain for many days, sallying forth at
night to seek food
The enemies Of the toad are hawks.

stone and kill many Of them. Dr. c.
r. Hodge states that he found 200 dead
or wounded toads in single day on the
shores of a small pond on the grounds
of Clark university. The loud cry of
the toad at spawning time readily be-
trays it's presence, and small boys, and
sometimes those of q larger growth,
gravitate toward the pools as natural
ly as do the toads themselves. There
have been excellent laws enacted to
protect insectivorous birds Why
should there not be as stringent legis-
lation against the destruction Of toads?

NEVER CEASE TO WANDER.
Busy Rec Doesn't Go Five Miles Aft
er Raw Material.

Busy Rec Doesn't Go Five Miles Aft
er Raw Material.
From the Baltimore American
The range Of the honey bee is but lit
tie understood by the masses, many
supposing that bees go for miles In
quest of nectar, while others think that
they go only a short distance. 1t may
be curious to many to understand how
any one can tell how far the bee may
fly, but this is simple when under
stood. Years ago, when the Italian
bees were first introduced in the Unit
ed States, these bees, having marks
different to the common bees already
here, were easily distinguished, and
after any beekeeper had obtained the
Italian bees they could be observed
and their range easily noticed If bloom
is plentiful near where bees are locat-
ed they will not go far, perhaps a mile
In range, but If bloom is scarce they
may go five miles. Usually about three
miles is as far as they may go profit
ably.
Bees have been known to go as far
as eight miles in a straight line,
crossing a body of water that distance
to land. 1t Is wonderful how the little
honey bee can go SO far from it's home
and ever find Its way back to it's own
particular hive. IT, while the little bee
is out of its home or hive the hive
should be removed some ten or twenty
feet, according to the surroundings.
when 1t came back to where its home
was first located it would be hopeless
ly lost. If it's home was in an open
space, with no other objects close, it
might find its way home, but even
should the hive be moved only a few
feet many of the bees would get lost.
So to move a hive, If done in the
winter time, it would be all right; but
II in the summer time it should be done
after dark, or when the bees are not
flying, and even then the bees should
be stirred up some, and smoke blown
In at the hive entrance and a board
or some object placed in front of the
hive, so that the bees in coming out
may mark their new location. Bees, no
doubt, are guided by sight and also by
sense of smell. They are attracted by
the color of bloom, as, if they are at
work on a certain kind of bloom. they
are not likely to leave that particular
kind of bloom for any other as long
as they can find that kind. Again,
bees are often attracted to sweets by
their sense of smell, for they will go
after sweets even in the dark If close.
However, any kind of sweets may be
placed in glass in plain sight, but if
covered so as not to emit any smell
the bees will take no notice Of them.

TEETH OF AN ELEPHANT.

Beast Has Only Eight Molars, but
Each Is Two Inches Thick.
From the Philadelphia Times
Whoever has looked inside an ele-
plants mouth has seen q strange
sight. Elephants have no front teeth,
and they never eat flesh, or any food
that requires tearing apart. Eight
teeth are all they have, two above and
below ON each side, huge yellow molars
as wide as mans hand, and about
two inches thick. Over these hay or
fodder is shifted by the cueerest,
ugliest tongue in the whole animal
kingdom, a tongue that Is literally
hung at both ends, having no woper
or movement except in the middle,
where 1t shifts back and forth from
side to side, arching UP against the
roof Of the big mouth like an immense
wrinkled pink serpent
There Is nothing stranger than the
working of an elephants tongue, un-
less it be the working OF his breathing
apparatus when he sleeps. Elephants,
like human beings, have two sets Of
teeth-the milk teeth which are small
er than the permanent molars, fall out
when the animals are about fourteen
years old. These baby teeth, which
are, nevertheless, enormous, are occa-
stonally picked UP by circus men among
the fodder and preserved as curiosities.
