WORTHY FRIEND OF FARMER
HomeIy Little Toad Can Be Made
Especially Useful in Garden, Green
house or Berry Patch.

The toad lives from ten to forty
years, and it can lay over thousand
eggs a year. 1t has lived two years
without food, but cannot live long
under water. 1t never takes dead or
motionless food. 1t captures and de-
YOURS wasps, yellow-jackets, ants,
beetles, worms, spiders, snails. bugs,
grasshoppers, crickets, weevils, cater
pillars, moths, etc. In "a hours the
toad consumes enough food to Oil It's
stomach four times. A single tq0)d
will in three months devour over TO-
600 insects. If every ten of these
would have done one cent damage tho.
toad has saved SO. Evidently the toad
is valuable friend to the farmer.
gardener and .fruit-grower, and can be.
made especially useful in the green
house, garden and berry patch.

DIR. Henry Van Dyke, former ambas-
ter, Katrina, and pet dog.
The poem, "The Name of France"
and reprinted from the Art World, was
written by Mr.. Van Dyke and dedicat-
ed to France. The poem follows:
THE NAME OF FRANCE.
Give us a name to fill the mind,
With the shining thoughts that lead man
kind,
The glory of learning, the joy of art,
A name that tells of a splendid part
In the long, long toll and the strenuous
fight
OF the human race to win its way
From the ancient darkness into the day
OF freedom, brotherhood, equal right
A name like a star. a name of light.
! give you France!
Give us a name to stir the blood
With a warmer glow and swifter flood
At the touch of a courage that conquers
fear
A name like the call of a trumpet, clear
And silver-sweet and iron-strong,
That brings three million men to their feet
Ready to march and steady to meet
The foe who threatens that name with
wrong
A name that rings like a battle-song,
/ give you France!
Give US q name to move the heart,
With the strength that noble griefs i'm
part
A name. that speaks Of the blood out
poured
To save mankind from the sway of the
sword
A name that calls the world to share
The burden Of sacrificial strife
Where the cause at stake Is the worlds
free life
And the rule Of the people everywhere
A name like vow, q name like q prayer
I give you France!
