most instructive compilation of every
thing that everybody in the depart
ment OF agriculture has been able to
see or hear in regard to the green
eyed creature. When the toads are
engaged in counting, says the secre-
tary. they give forth a soft, drowsy,
musical trilling" well worthy of the
poets rhythmical attention.
The practical points in respect to
the toad are as follows: 1t loves its
happy home. 1t is easily domesticat-
cd. The female lays 11,545 eggs in
season. The toad will live two years
i'm sandstone without food or water.
1t lives mostly on animal food and Is
thus great benefit to the farmer and
to the suburbanite who dotes on green
houses. flowers and vegetable beds and
grassy lawns. The toad. feeds on ants
cut worms, 1000-legs, caterpillars
beetles, grasshoppers. crickets, spiders
snails and angleworms. About 81 pei
cent. of the toad's food, the secretary
says. is of a kind Injurious to agricul-
! ture. fSVIFNHrIyNlN
4 The toad Is one of the hungriest am
mails on earth. 1t eats, every day. M
amount OF food equal to four times
the fullest capacity of its stomach. The
secretary figures that one toad, in one
season. will eat 1894 worth of bad
worms and flies. This is bargain
counter valuation. the full retail price
being $40. Every suburbanite SHOULD
have at least one pair of toads. say
the secretary. as they love their hap
by homes. and viii soon present theil
owner with enough other toads To- Cd
mp all the flies in the nelghborhood
The toad's tongue. the secretary says
is hung in front.

gress and who viii be members of the
conference on the bin after 1t has
passed the senate, took measures to-
day to ascertain whether there were
any foundation for the reports that
President Taft would veto the bill
They have concluded that there Is
no basis whatever for such reports.
AS late as this evening the presi-
dent told one Of the republican leaders
that no one had any authority to sug-
gcst that he had intimated that ne

Capital has been made of the fact
that President Taft has consulted
about amendments being made to the
bill.
senator Aldrich explained that
whenever a tariff bill Is under con-
sideration, 1t is usual for the president
and all members Of his official family
to weight the bill in every particular.
President Taft will be expected by
Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. Payne to give his
personal attention to the bill in every
stage of its passage through congress.
AS "A matter of fact, the president
