hope of finding traces of life.
Captain Sexton, who was in charge

Destructive Insects.

We have heard the statement made
that each toad on farm is worth sew
eral dollars a season to the land own
er. 1t is difficult to place an exact
value on any beneficial species, but
we are learning more and more to APP
preciate the natural enemies of our
destructive insects, and when one OF
them shows such distinctly beneficial
habits as does the toad, it deserves
special consideration.
Snails, grasshoppers, crickets, ants,
wireworms, potato beetles, cutworms,
army worms, tent caterpillars and
many others of equal Importance have
been found in the stomachs of toads
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 view to giving
them protection. They should not be
killed for sport, as many animals are,
for they are too valuable
