The DESPISED TOAD
The Defense Of Him Taken up by the
Agricultural Department.

That always interesting and instruc-
| tive and sometimes side splitting con-
| temporary, the Farmers Bulletin,
comes out in its current issue (No.196)
in a spirited and scholarly defense of
the American toad, whose virtues the
Bulletin believes have not met full ap-
probation. The leading STORY" of the
Bulletin is by a. H. Kirkland, NJ S.
Usefulness of the American Toad"
This is a peculiarly timely topic for
the Phoenix readers of the Bulletin,
who have lately been making a study
of the toad which mas resulted in plac-
ing that despised creature before the
public in a more favorable light. The
result of this local investigation has
been to subsidize the toad in the war
fare against grasshoppers, crickets and
other insect pests. The toad has earn
ed his money.
But the local inquiry into the char
acteristics of the toad were limited to
the material and temporary benefits
which might bestow upon a suffering
pOpulace. The Bulletin goes into the
subject much farther entering it from
a scientific avenue.
The writer in the first place destroys
a great many fallacies which have ex-
listed to the non advantage of the toad
and proves him incapable of producing
warts on the hands of the small boy as
he was supposed to do by some subtle
and uncomfortable process. Neither does
the toad poison infants by his breath
nor fill the udders of cows with bloody
milk. The writer says he has made a
personal investigation of these erron-
eOus reports which have been circulat-
ed to the detriment of the toad and
has found them to he untrue.
In the opinion of the writer nature
has neglected to do the square thing
by the toad in that she has denied him
the gay colors OF bird life or the sinu-
Gus beauty OF some Of his reptilian re-
latives." But the writer himself does
not make the burden of the
toad any lighter by loading him down
with such a name as this. Bufo Lenti-
ginosus Americans.
The first section of the article is de-
voted to the Life History and Habits"
of the toad. This is followed by his
Feeding Habits" and tnat by the menu
of the toad watch is varied embracing
about everything he has the muscle to
handle. One Of The toad's deIfcacies is
the spider. on this point Mr.. Kirk

ed. Col. Gray. however. was, after
ward elected to the council
Col Gray was a warm hearted but
outspOl<en man, so that he had some
enemies as well as many friends. In
the latter years he had paid little at
tention to anything but his mining in
terests. He had some years ago ex-
tensive real estate interests in the
valley. Beside his beautiful home
south of the city he owned a section
of land on the south side of the river
near Tempe. He disposed of that and
later of all of the home place except
ten acres of land adjacent to his resi-
dence.

active creatures as spiders form two
per cent of the toad's food. Naturally
most of the spiders were of the terres-
trial species" Nor is this strange for
the toad hampered by lack of wings
and having no other elevative power
than the springy muscles of his hind
legs could not be expected to prove a
devastator among celestial or sidereal
spiders.
With the precision of the agricuI-
tural department the twenty species of
insects which the toad devours
are tsbularly arranged by per
cent and it is presumed that
no toad with a proper regard for
his health would eat these insects in
any other proportion than that pre-
scribcd by the department, (the article
by the way mas the official endorsement
Of L. y. Howard, entomologist and
James Wilson, secretary of the depart
ment)
Under the head of Economic Status
Of Insects Destroyed by the Toad"
there is another table classifying the
insects under the heads beneficial
neutral and injurious. There is still
another table laying out "A stint for
the toad. In twenty-four nous ne may
eat so many of one kind and so many
of another and so on. Then there is
his stint for thirty days if he pre-
fers to work by the day rather than
by the hour.
The article closes with a suggestion
