TOAD A VALUABLE SERVANT
lts Uses in the World Have Not Been
Accorded the Recognition II Has
Long Deserved.

Few well-meaning creatures have
been more thoroughly misunderstood
that the homely. meditative and re-
firing toad.
Formerly the toad was considered a
venomous reptile. but In our day its
habits have been more carefully OBJ
served and its great value to the
pomologlst and gardener has been
fully established on account OF its
propensity for destroying insects.
We should. therefore, cultivate the
friendship and assistance of the In.
sectivorous reptiles. including the
striped snake, as we'll as that OF birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the
cockroach, mice and other vermin.
Two or three domesticated toads
would keep the coast clear of these
and would be found more desirable
than a cat. as they are wholly free
from trespassing on the rights OF man
as does the cat. The toad Is pos.
sessed OF timid and retiring nature,
loving dark corners and shady places,
but under kind treatment becoming
quite tame.
Many instances might be cited OF
pet toads remaining several years in
family and doing most valuable
service with no other compensation
than that of immunity from persecu'
ton.
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to market and are purchased by
the horticulturists, who by their aid
are enabled to keep in check the null
tiplication OF the insect tribes which
prey upon their fruits, flowers, etc.

Care Of the Chicks.

As soon as the chicks are old enough
they should be taught TO roOst outside
OF the brooders upon perches placed
near the floor Keep the floors well
covered with clean litter Never use
sawdust.
Heavy paper Is best for the brooder
floors. These should be taken out and
burned every day and replaced with
fresh ones
4 good way to keep an incubator
clean is to cover the nursery floor with
heavy paper before the chicks begin TO
hatch
Don't feed the chicks anything for
at least "a hours after they are
hatched Better wait as hours before
feeding But they should have all the
tepld water they will drink right from
the start

There are many ends for which the
Swiss cattle are bred In Switzerland
The first objects In all cattle breeding
are the products OF milk and OF meat
but the animals can also be used for
work. In general that which is most
wanted is To obtain an average live
weight. this weight being little
higher and subject to variation in the
Simental breed than that OF SchwyI.
The heights and inclinations OF more
or less Importance. the diversity In
the composition and the fertility OF
the soil. and In the management and
care given TO the cattle, influence a
great deal the live-weight and size Of
the cattle coming from different re-
gions and establishments. Thus In
some districts they prefer raising cat
tie OF an average weight or OF great
weight. while In other regions only
cattle OF lighter weight are bred. In
the regions where the Schwyz cattle
are bred. there Is a greater difference
on account OF the great number OF diff.
ferent methods in the way OF raising
and managing the cattle. Yet the
ends aimed at are the same in the two
breeds with one difference only: that
those animals which are OF lighter
weight aud less well managed have
much less meat and precocity. In every
case. what is striven after, is TO obtain
healthy and strong cattle. In sum
mer the greater part OF the cattle
breeders OF the Mittelland send their
cattle up to the Alpine pasturages, and
moreover there is great deal OF ex-
changing between the cattle breeders
OF the Alps and those OF the plains.
With regard to the animals faculty
TO work. Il must be said that since
the culture OF wheat has. these last
twenty-five or thirty years, greatly d.
minished. In the plains as well as in
the alpine regions, very few oxen OF
the Schwyz breed are seen. Instead
OF these they use cows and heifers
for agricultural work. On the confines
OF the two regions where these cattle
are reared. we sometimes meet with
oxen OF the Simental breed. which are
very precocious and which become
very heavy. This does not hinder the
Schwyz breed furnishing animals apt
to labor. Their black, strong and
hard hoofs, their quick temperament,

GOOD PASTURES
FOR THE SHEEP
Ewes Should Be Treated Well
After Weaning to Reach
Normal Condition.

II one will use common sense in Civ.
Ing his sheep good pasture and will
raise plenty OF pasture, the cost Of pas
turing sheep will be very low. The
late summer and fall is very trying on
the breeding ewes, and unless the
sleep owner maintains the flock In a
vigorous condition the profits are sure
to be cut down to a great extent.
II Is very good to have an abund.
ance OF green pasture and forage crops
for the ewes to maintain and regain
their strength and flesh which they
have lost during the sucking OF their
lambs. They should be treated well
after weaving, so that they will reach
their normal condition by mating
time Anyone will find It serious
thing to have their ewes run down and
in poor condition at the time of
mating.
Take note that the ewes that pro
duce the best lambs at weaving slime
are usually the best breeders. and
should be treated with the best care
and management, When eve shows
a large. heavy lamb at weaning time
she is usually very thin and run down
Some owners would dispose of her and
think that she was too weak for a
breeding eve because she was so thin
at weaving time. Right there they
make very bad mistake, After wean-
ing the ewes can be kept in vigor-

DANGER FROM ALCOHOL.

DANGER FROM ALCOHOL.
In pneumonia or in snake bite. when
recovery takes place. an invasion OF
the parts affected by large number
OF leucocytes or white blood corpus
cles is invariably observed. Delcarde
insists that this invasion is essential
to recovery. Massert and Bordel dem
onstrated that alcohol, even In very
dilute solution, drives away the white
corpuscles or leucoytes, and II alco.
hol Is circulated in the blood. even
in very minute quantities. the leuco-
cytes cannot push their way Into the
blood at all readily, and therefore
cannot be transported to the scat OF
the disease. Alcohol thus prevents
the white cells or leucocytes from
coming up to attack and repel the In
vading organisms. The leu
cocytes act as kind OF sanitary po-
lice. They appear wherever dead mat
ter Is to be removed, they attempt TO
prevent the invasion OF the body by
disease producing organisms, and
once they come to grips with their
opponents they die rather than give
way. -. Disease producing or
ganisms getting into the tissues dur
ing the time that alcohol is holding
back the leucocytes, and meeting with
no resistance from them, entrench
themselves strongly, so that the leu
cocytes cannot drive them out, and a
severe. often fatal. attack OF disease
Is the result.-Dr Sims Woodhead.
