TOADS ARE VALUABLE
Estimated Value of One Placed
at 1894 Yearly.
Especially Useful in Gardens Where
Insects Are Most Numerous and
lnjurious-Some Gardeners
Buy Them.

That toads are of economic value,
particularly to the gardener, is the as
sertion of DR.. J. e. Ackert.
'Tt has been estimated that one toad
is worth $19.44 in single season be-
cause of the cutworms it devours,"
said Doctor Ackert. Approximately
SO per cent of the food of the toad
consists of garden pests.
'The toad is nocturnal in habit, COM
ing out in the dusk to search for food,
which consists mostly Of insects and
their larvae. During the day it sleeps
In its burrow, made by backing into
the soft earth or dense vegetation.
"Toads are of special value, since
they are accustomed to live in gar
dens, where insects are most injurious.
In some sections Of the United States
the gardeners even buy them to aid in
keeping obnoxious insects under con-
troll.
"The popular belief that toads are
poisonous is erroneous. They possess

That dressmaking is not an art, but
labor, was held by a jury in the United

case of Albert de Vroye, husband of
Marie de Vroye, fashionable dress
maker, says the st. Louis Star. He
was fined $1,000 for violation Of fed

of contract labor into the United
States.
The statute leaves several excep-
tions, including actors and artists.
Shepard Barclay, attorney for De
Vroye, contended a skilled dressmaker
is an artist.
The prosecuting witness was Bel

she answered an advertisement insert

FRIENDLY BIRDS AND SNAKES
Little Creatures, Instead Of Being In
furious, Are Always Invaluable
in Devouring Insects.
(By c. M. MARTIN.)


We should learn to distinguish be-
tween foes and friends in the garden,
and If necessary the children should
be taught early the difference between
insects and birds that do harm to
plants and those that do good. Snakes,
toads and lizards, instead Of being in
furious to plants, are always invalu-
liable helps in keeping down injurious
insects. Snakes may be repulsive in
appearance, and poisonous ones very
dangerous, but the ordinary ground
snakes will not hurt one, and they
will keep down mice, bugs and insects
as nothing else can. AS rule, the
noxious insects are in the greatest
numbers in our gardens, and hence
toads, lizards and snakes that eat all
that come near them destroy more of
the foes than friends. 1 should never
think of killing one of these creatures
in the garden, but would be more in
clined to protect them, and even to
import them into the garden. have
seen small gray lizard clean off the
worms from field of cabbages as fast
as they could multiply. Attracted by
the fat feast, the lizard returned every
day, and he would make trips up and
down the rows of cabbages until not
worm could be found.

Goes not cause the formation Of warts
Hpon the hands of those who handle
them, as is often supposed.
"a few toads in hotbeds and cold
frames are of inestimable value. They
will keep down all insects that begin
to show themselves, finding them un-
der leaves and stalks that hide them
from an ordinary observer. In Paris
toads are regularly caught and sold to
gardeners for insect hunting in their
greenhouses. And yet many boys and
older people destroy them ruthlessly
as soon as they discover them in the
garden. The toads will eat cutworms
by the wholesale, if they can find
them, and I have seen them .devour
potato bugs in great numbers when de-
