 The toad is an agricultural lahorer of high order. In fact. so valuable Is he as a colonist that the farmer should offer special Inducements to in- terest him in his real estate. Cousid- erinE the money spent to meet the va- rious pests. it is a wonder that more gardeners (amateur and professionally do not endeavor to have A goodly col- ony of toads. who from their infancy understand thoroughly the business of dealing with insect marauders. 4 glance at the toad's msnu proves how valuable he Is as an insecticide. Here is the result of a single post mortem ex- amination-a fair type of the 149 per- formed by pr. A H. Kirkland during his experience: Six cut worms, i've thousand-legged worms. six saw bugs nine ants, one weevil, one ground bee tie. His capacity is immense. pr. Kirkland fed more than twenty -four gypsy-moth caterpillars to a toad be- fore satisfying his appetite. He has snapped up thirty-six house flies In less than ten minutes-thirty caterpillars in less than three hours. ninety rose bugs were fed to a toad that was stiH hungry.
 The water bug or small roach ap- pears chiefly on the menu of the city toad. His work in this line deserves high commendation. For all this worthy work the toad requires iittle recompense. A shallow hole dug in the garden. covered partially by board or flat stone, will be appreciated as shelter: for toads dislike sunshine; this is all the provision necessary for his comfort.

This is the time of the year when mankind is once more joyfully renew ing acquaintance with plants and flow CTS that took their departure when the chill winds of autumn began to blow, yet returned with the spring time.
 There are SO many interesting things about them-quite as many as apout the ordinary human being!
 For plants have certain places where they will flourish. and 1t is usually futile to look for them elsewhere. They have habits" just as well as the human family--only they are near Iy always good! Certain character- istics'' mark and distinguished them, even as with the human being. Even scarcely mistake the cabbage for the mullein or flannel plant"
 In order to encourage the lover of plants, who has had little opportunity to study these characteristics" more profitably, the following outline is given:
 Locality-where did you find the plant? In the mountainous part of your State, or fin the warm valleys?
 Habitat-Growing in a swamp? or old field? or sandy waste land? or worn prairie? or rich hedge-row? Sheltered by other plants? or out in sunshine?
 As to 'the plant: if it is a shrub. it Is either "bienniaf' or perennial; the rose is a shrub and is classed as perennial; if the plant is an herb it may be annual like the phlox, or bien- nial like balm, or perennial like thyme.

4 Plant That Coughs.

New Orleans Times Democrat
 T heard a cough and looked behind me nervously." said a huntsman. for I was stalking gazelle in that lion-col- ored waste. the Sahara Desert. and having got rather too far south. I ex- pected any moment to become pin cushion for the poisoned darts of the dread Touaregs.
 But there was no one there The flat desert quivered in the sunshine and here and there a dusty plant stood wearily. But though commanded the landscape for radius of fifty miles, not living creature was in sight.
 Another cough. swung around quickly. The same plant. yellow with dust, dropped in the dry heat. That was all.
 Hack. Hacki
 "on my left this time, swung around again. A like plant met my eye. The thing was growing rather ghastly.
 As I regarded this last plant q cough came from 1t. Believe me, the plant eoughed. It shook ali over. and then. tightening up as when a man does when he is about to sneege, 1t gave a violent cough, and a little cloud of dust arose.
 T found out afterward that the plant was the coughing bean. which is com mon in many tropical countries. In the long. dry heats this weird growth's pores become choked with dust, and 1t would die of suffiocation were 1t not that a powerful gas accumuiates in- side it, which, when it gains sufficient ly preslike the human cough. The ex- plosion shakes the pores free of their dust and the coughing bean is in good health again."
