learning more and more to appre-
cdate the natural enemies of oIr de-
structive insects, and when one Of
them shows such distinctly beneficial
habits as does the toad, 1t deserves
special consideration. Snails. grass
hoppers. ants. crickets, wireworms,
potato beetles. butworms. army worm,
tent caterpillars and many others of
equal importance have been found in
the stomach Of toads. According to
one authority, n thousand-legged
worms were found in one stomach. 81
tent caterpillars in another, IS gypsy
moth. caterpillars in another, and IS
army worms in fourth. One toad
had been known to eat "a gypsy moth
caterpillars In succession, and another
was seen TO devour sc horsefiies in
less than ten minutes. Toads have
many natural enemies, such as snakes,
hawks, and the like, and numbers of
them are killed by lawn mowers and
farm machinery Of various kinds. We
can well afford to study toads with a
view to giving them our protection.
They should not be killed for sport,
as many animals are, for they are too
valuable. Since they must have
water in which to place their eggs and
nourish their young for few weeks,
1t Is suggested that suitable places
be maintained for their convenience.
A shallow cement pool, having a small
but constant water supply will be
greatly appreciated by the toads. For
garden shelters, make shallow holes
in the ground and cover with flat
stones or boards. The toads will re-
tire into these in the daytime and
comes forth at dusk for their nightly
forays.
Toads are especially valuable tc

final finishing up of the grounds and
general surroundings of the house has
not received as much attention at the
hands OF builders as 1t should. Ordi-
narily architects and builders are sat
isfied to design good house. and see
that 1t Is properly built, while leaving
the surroundings and final embellish-
ments entirely with the owner.
Now. the fact is, houses are built,
for the most part, by men who have
spent the early years Of their lives in
business; and their attention has been
taken up with matters entirely differ
ent. and they are not qualified to ar.
range the many details that properly
go with well-arranged home. They
may know what they want in a gen
eral way; but when it comes to fitting
house to lot in a community in
which they would like to live, a little
assistance from man who under.
stands such things Is great help. and
will be appreciated in after years.
Many mistakes have been made BY
putting unsuitable houses In certain
communities; and a great many more
mistakes have been made in neglect
ing to fit the house to the lot, or in
not buying a lot to fit the house that
the man wants to build
One Of the commonest mistakes in
building Is to place the house the
wrong way. There are house plans
that are perfectly satisfactory when
fronted south. which would badly fit
a northern outlook. The direction in
which house fronts means a good
deal to some people, which others care
very little about it. North, south, east
and west-all have advantages, and
they all have disadvantages. 1t very
much depends on the likes and dis
likes Of the inmates. but great deal
also depends on the plan of the house.

and that Is wrong.
Being practically 30 feet wide, this
