GARDENERS BEST
FRIEND IS TOAD
Large Portion of Its Customary
Ration Consists of Injurious
Insects.

The toad is a very valuable friend,
especially to the gardener. Toads live
for several years and by preference re-
main on the same feeding grounds
from year to year. About 9S per cent.
of the toad's food consists of animal
matter. Among the forms regularly
eaten are angle worms. snails, SOW
bugs, thousand-legged worms, spiders.
ants, grasshoppers, crickets, cutworms,
beetles and various caterpillars. From
60 to so per cent. of injurious insects
and small per cent. of beneficial in
sects go in with its customary ration.

a fast walk is much more valuable
than a slow team. or course it is un-
derstood that some of the large, heavy
breeds of cattle can never be made to
walk as fast as the lighter ones, but
even they can be made faster than
their natural inclination.
Often young cattle when first put to
work are overloaded and overworked.
This hurts their courage and will sure
ly lessen their value as a farm team.
Never make them try load when
they cannot start 1t by two or three
trials, be. rather lessen the load. By
so doing they will get in the way of
doing their best, and will have the
courage to try. A well-matched. we'll

lent mixture for fattening poultry is
made as follows: One hundred pounds

ferred. The birds are fed twice day
at intervals of IL hours and are kept

Oats Need Solid Subsurface.-Itt is a
mistake to SOW oats on newly-plowed
ground. especially where a deficiency
of moisture may be expected. Oats
like solid subsurface. Ground to be
put in oats may be plowed in the fall,
If weedy, but ordinarily clean ground
which has been in corn, needs only
thorough disking and narrowing in the
spring. If the ground must be plowed
in the spring, it should be thoroughly
packed soon after plowirg, and the
sooner the better 1t is better to drill
in the oats than to SOW them broad
cast. If large crop is expected, do
not be too saving with the seed; heavy
seeding is Indispensable for a heavy
yield, but no amount of seed will pro-
duce good crop on a poor seed-bed.

William C~avanaugh, special police
mar at the Cemetery of the Holy

said she plucked a geranium from her
sisters grave, n was stopped by
C~avanaugh later, who told her a rule
of the cemetery was that no one could
take flowers without a permit. She
went to Superintendent Thomas Fay
and secured the permit. and said that
Cavanaugh then accused her of having
taken flowers from another grave on a
previous occasion. Fay says he heard
the policeman call Mrs. Butt a thief.
During the hearing Cavanaugh stated
that Mrs. Butt asked him If he a a
family, and when he said he had she
got down on her knees and pronounced

1t was definitely decided last night
that Frederick w. Garvin should not
be the candidate his year to oppose
School Commissioner Jacob M. Eppstein
fer reelection in the Third ward, fol-
lowing a conference with Judge James
B. Dill, Mr.. Garvin's law partner.
1t Is announced, however, that the
determination of thirteen men at the
home of Michael Loprete, this week, to
indorse Mr.. Eppstein, will not result
in lessening opposition against the eff
fcrt of the commissioner to be re-
elected. The Board Of Trade, President
Shaw said today, will concentrate Its
energies against Mr.. Eppstein.
Up to last night 1t had been expected
that Mr.. Garvin would surely run. Sew
eral conferences were held yesterday,
and when Judge Dill was spoken to 1t
became evident hat Mr.. Garvin would
retire as a candidate.
Commissioner Robert Crater may not
be opposed by the Board of Trade, as
he has given the members considerable
encouragement as a result of recent
declarations.
Frank F. Hewlett was Endorsed for
