! emies and because the schools do their
duty 50 poorly that boys are wont to
stone these harmless and useful crea-
lures. Among the natural enemies or
toads are the marsh hawk. owl crow,
ducks, geese and the guinea fowl The
domestic fowls feed on the tadpolc.
Thousands OF toads are killed by lawn
mowers and ploNs, but there Is ter
rible and wanton slaughter by boys,
which is one OF the things which the
proposed society viii undertake to ov-
ercomo by a campaign of education
MT Dray thus describes his plan.
Il have studied the situation In this
country through correspondence and Of
fetal reports, but now | am here FOR
a practical tour Of inspection with the
idea Of educating the farmers and the
gardeners as to the usefulness OF the
toad and how IL may be bred and
cared FOR There Is something peculiar
ana most interesting about the homing
instinct OF this little understood ami
NAL. There Is no question but that IL
lives TO great age and that IT re-
mans year after year In the same
locality Evidence has been sent to
me that two toads occupied doOryards

"A breeding place may be established
for toads near a shallow pool OF wa
ter where the supply is constant. They
are not amphibious like the frog. and
the water is needed only for breeding
purposes. Stagnant rather than run
ming water h desired Some objection
10 this has been made on the ground
that IL would be a breeding place for
mosquitoes. IL r. entirely possible that
the tadpoles would devour the mo-
squito larvae and, in any case, the
young toads will leave the water by
midsummer or before tho mosquitoes
become abundant when the pools may
be drained.
