GUARD HOMELY TOAD
Little Fellow Is of Great Value:
to Gardener.
Estimated by Department Of Agrlcuh
ture That He Will Eat $19 Worth
Of Worms and Insects In
Course of One Summer.

Few well-meaning creatures have
been more generally misunderstood
than the homely and retiring toad.
Formerly the toad was considered
venomous reptile, yet modern med1-
cal research is extracting from toad
skins remedies Of greatest value and
the benefcent possibilities Of these
secretions have by no means been
exhausted, says scientific journal.
It also has been found out by
careful observation that this hOmely
little fellow is Of great value to the
gardener and farmer, writes Roy y.
Dawes in Wisconsin Agriculturist. 1t
has been estimated by the department
of agriculture that a good able-bod1ed
toad will eat $40 worth of worms ana
insects in one summer.
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities, to the markets, and are pur-
chased by the horticulturists, VINO
bv their aid are enabled to keep in
check the multiplication Of insect
tribes that prey on their fruits ana
flowers.
The myth of the jewel in the head
of the toad is probably founded on
the brightness Of the eyes in when
the iris is flame colOred.
loads are extremely tenacious OF
life and it has been reported that
toads can exist centuries without 1000
or air, but experiment shows that they
cannot live two years without food ana
air.

DON'T USE SCABBY POTATOES
Farmer Will Not Make Profit 1t Dis
eased Seed Is PIanted-Use For
maIdehyde Treatment.

Owing to the big prices now being
received for potatoes, MANY persons
are going to plant them This year
who never thought them crop worth
bothering with before. Whether
prices stay up or not, you will not
make much profit from potatoes If
you plant diseased seed. Potato scab
is serious disease and one that can
be carried on seed potatoes and spread
rapidly. The spores Of this disease
can frequently be seen on the outside,
even if the potato is only slightly af-
fected.
If there is sign Of scab on the
seed potatoes be sure to use the for
maldehyde treatment before planting
them. Soak the potatoes two hours
in a solution made Of one pint Of
formaldehyde to 80 gallons Of water.
You can obtain the fOrmaldehyde at
the drug store for comparatively
small cost. This treatment does not
affect the terminating quality of the
seed and it will protect your potato
field from this disease.

RIGHT TIME FOR DEHORNING
Operation Should Be Performed Dur
ing Cool Weather When Flies Are
Not to Be Contended With.

Dehorning is best done during cool
weather, before the flies come out. 1t
Is most easily done with dehorning
shears or clippers. However, it is
claimed that the saw makes cleaner
wound than the clippers, and that 1t
generally heals over quicker.
Ordinarily, it is not necessary to ap.
ply anything after dehorning. In warm
weather, however, it is we'll to smear
some pine tar over the wound. We
certainly do not recommend soaring
the wound with hot iron to stop the
bleeding.
An excellent bulletin on dehorning
is Farmers Bulletin No. $50, which
may be secured free from the United
States department Of agriculture, at
Washington, D. G.

OIL FARM MACHINES FREELY
Where Axle Grease Is Used SparingIy
Draft or Load Is Increased at
Least 20 Per Cent.

By D. E. wISEMAN, Kansas Station.l
It pays to use plenty OF lubricatlng
oil on farm machinery. Where the oil
or axle grease is used sparingly the
draft or load Of the machine Is In
creased at least 20 per cent. Because
of it's economy hard oil should be used
in preference to ordinary machine oil
wherever possible. The hard oil will
not waste as easily and is cheaper
than machine oil.
A well-lubricated machine will last
longer than one that is not sufficiently
we'll oiled. The dust-proof box on
most axles of modern farm machinery
has done much to lengthen the life OF
the machines and is saving the lubri-
cant. Care must be taken to keep this
box we'll oiled, or it will wear out.
The cost Of repairing machinery Is
high, but the time that Is lost in re-
placing WORKOUT pieces may mean a
loss Of hundreds Of dollars to the
farmer.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIishness! Lift your corns
and caIIuses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of q corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn few drops OF
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store
which will positively rid ones feet OF
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will Interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get q small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

TIME OF BREEDING HEIFERS
Period Should Be Largely Governed
by Size and Development OF
Animal Rather Than Age.

Numerous factors are responsible FOR
complete and early development Of
breeding heifers. If properly fed and
housed, nothing exerts greater influ-
ence upon the final size Of the animals
than time of breeding. Early breeding
is quite often practiced to the disad-
vantage and detriment Of the future
herd. The most desirable type Of mich
COW has large body capable Of con-
Stunning and digesting large quantities
Of feed. Early breeding prevents the
desired growth and is not warranted
under average conditions. The age OF
breeding should be largely governed
by the size Of the breeding heifers
rather than their age.

Puns.

Puns cover about three-quarters OF
the world of humor. Because they
are so numerous, they are not given
the highest rating by many critics, but
from the supposition that TINY may
be cheap comedy, most Of orr joke
smiths use them to cut down the 81.
G. of L.
A pun is made from a word that
sounds like another word which it
isn't, and is known as play upon that
word, but finding pun is work, just
the same. A pun is made by hunting
up and down the pages of dictionary
until a word is found which is leading
double life, and it is seizef upon
hungrily and made to show itself off,
in all it's duplicity. Most Of our great
humorists have been more or less ad-
,dicted to the use of puns in their most
pernicious forn.-Indianapol Star.

ENHANCED VALUE OF GARDEN
Increased Importance Of Accurate
knowledge of Seeds-Best to
Make termination Tests.

The enhanced value Of garden prod
ucts increases the importance to the
farmer of an accurate knowledge OF
the vitality of the seeds he uses in the
production of these crops. Because OF
the large amount of hand labor given
to the garden plot it is relatively more
important to make certain that the gar
den seeds be tested than it is to try
out the seed corn. However, both
should be carefully done and during
the days before actua, field work

only secures his seeds and grades
them, hi. who also makes gcrmina-
ton tests Of every kind he Is to plant

Bracelet Is Ancient Ornament.

BY the Romans bracelets were first
used as a reward for valor, Curtius
Dantius receiving no fewer than l5o
of these decorations. Among the wom-
en- Of Rome as of Greece the craze for
this form of adornment spread to an
extent to call forth the condemnation
Of Cicero. From Rome some centuries
after the Christian era the custom OF
bracelet wearing spread to eastern
Europe and thence to Britain. Edgar,
best and wisest Of the. line Of Saxon
kings, bestowed bracelets upon the
men and women Of his court, while
the Danes, making peace with Alfred
the Great, swore fidelity upon them.
Through nearly ten centuries have
bracelets in one form or another main
tanned a strong hold upon the affec-
tons of women, although until the
time of Benvenuto Cellini they had
been crudely simple in form and de"
sign.

WOOL PREPARED FOR MARKET
Description Of Method Employed by
Pennsylvania Experiment Station
Use Paper Irvine.

The method used by the Pennsyl'
vania State College experiment station
is to turn in the outer edges, roll the
fleece into firm bundles and tie with a
hard glazed twine, Of not more than
four or five strands.
Paper Irvine will serve the purpose,
but sisal or loose hemp is not satisfac-
tory for the reason, according to the
PENNSYLVANIA station, the fiber gets
into the wool and causes injury in the
manufacture of the cloth.

Dorsey and Deere. They met nearly
every day, and Nat began to under
sta1.d that not only was Dorsey viii
lain and a chiseler, but also wicked
plotter.
I'm going to see Mr.. Talcott and
tell him the danger he's in," Nat So
liloquized one morning. He had over
heard a precious scheme put up by
Dorsey to have the influence of Dacre
secure the discharge Of Ned from en-
ployment. This happened that very
day, before Nat got into action. False
charges were made against Ned; he
had fallen innocently into pitfalls con-
jured by Dorsey, who wanted to get
a possible rival out Of the way.
81 don't need to tell Mr.. Talcott,"
chuckled Nat at noon. Dorsey had
been writing letters all the morning
and had gene for a stroll, leaving his
desk open.
Nobody Home Nat" read the letters
and said "Aha!" jubilantly. Then
click! snap! and two Of the letters
were photographed. Then Nat sped
for the village photographer to develop
and print them.
"Can see you for minute or two,
Miss Ward?' inquired Nat, appearing
at the Ward home the next day.
"Why, I'm right before you, Nat"
smiled Eva in her usual sweet way.
"Yesm, but if you'd come out into
the garden I would show you some
thing. Tell you story first, though"
added Nat, as they reached a garden
seat.
Which he did-all Of his acquaint-
anceship with Dorsey. Then Nat pro-
duced the photograph of the two let
tiers. Eva flushed Indignantly as she
read the boast Of Dorsey written to
friend in the city, that he had soap
tured a simple heiress' and would
have her fortune to spend. There was
second letter to another friend, gloat-
ing over the clever plot whereby Ned
had lost his position.
'The poor, dear fellow!' burst forth
Eva.
"You mean?' anxiously Intercepted
Nat.
"Mr. Talcott, of course"
"It's all right, then," nodded Nat.
'T've discharged myself from my en-
ployment with Dorsey. hope you'll
discharge him, the villain!"
Then Nat went to see Ned and re-
peated his weird tale, and intimated
that his opinion was that Miss Ward
would welcome him if he would call
upon her.
Which was true, and Nat was
happy, happy man that afternoon, as,
from behind sheltering bush, he
'snapped' Eva and Ned, who had come
to full understanding.
It was the next afternoon, and Ned
was again in the garden with Eva, and
Nat, working in the front garden,
grinned broadly as, in response to
ring at the doorbell, the servant an
nounced to Dorsey, according to in
structions from Eva:
"Nobody home"
'Ha! hal" laughed Nat, as he sidleo
up to the discounted Dorsey, nobody
home but these two in the garden"
and he exhibited the developed photo
graph. "And say, you better git, for
the same camera took the pictures OF
those two letters you wrote. And Mr..
Talcott is going to get his job back,
and your friend, Dacre, will be fired,
and you better get out Of town, II you
don't want to meet Mr.. Talcott, who
has promised to give you a good
trouncing."
And, as the baffled plotter sneaked
away, inimitably adopting the tones
of the housemaid, Nat, with a broad
grin, announced:

declared Ned heartily.
"Oh, yes, T do! You was my only
friend when I had my last tantrum,
and paid my fine, or would have lain
in the lookup for week.
ooh, you're all right, Nat," said Ned
pleasantly. "Don't mind the three dol

Nat, "and I'm going to save up and
