The toad is one of the best friends of
the farmer, and there seems no good
reason why he should not be encour-
aged wherever found. says the Farm
ers Review. The farmers that have
bees sometimes complain that the toad
likes bees too we'll to be profitable, but
for the most part the toad is a noctur
nal creature and does his feeding i'm
the night. That is the reason why we
do not see more toads than we do. The
toad comes out of his shelter at night
and begins to feed. He has liking for
all kinds of living insects, but will not
touch dead 1nes. This is of advantage
to the agriculturalist, as ii is of no par
ticular Importance to get rid of insects
after they are dead. The live ones are
the ones that do the damage. The toad
is at work during all the night and
even longer, for he often comes from
his shelter while the darkness is still
some distance off, but after the heat of
the day has passed. He is said to feed
continuously throughout the night, and
to eat an immense amount of insect
food. In fact toads whose supply of
insects has been regulated have been
known to eat in one night four times
as much as their stoTnachs could hold
at one time. This gives some idea of
the rapldlty OF digestion OF this friend
of the farmer. The greater his capac-
ity to consume food the better. He is
not only able to consume a great deal
of food, he is also able to capture a
great deal. His tongue is hung at the
front of his mouth instead of at the
back and it works with lightninglike
rapidity. An insect comes within reach
of the tongue and disappears. The in
sect has found a resting place in the
stomach of the toad. In cities and
towns where there are electric lights
the toads soon learn that the ground
under the lights are excellent feeding
places. A number will be seen in these
places gorging themselves on the
moths and beetles that fall to the
ground temporarily disabled by con-
tact with the lights. Among the in
sects that constitute a large part of the
feed of the toads are to be numbered
ants, caterpillars, cut-worms, thou
sand-legged worms, ground beetles,
May beetles, wire-worms and wire
worm beetles, weevils, grasshoppers,
potato beetles and crickets. Most of
these are enemies of the crops the
farmer is engaged in raising.

Discounting all the just claims that

it remains true that the southern seed
