A TOad's Table Manners.

One summer night when we were
sitting round the porch light, says a
writer in Country Life, one of us no
ticed a toad that was making frantic
efforts to climb the three steps that
led to the walk. He finally reached
the veranda floor and began Tipping up
the bugs that had fallen into the circle
of light that the lamp cast
Some one began catching beetles
and dropping them near his nose, and
he soon appeared to accept us as his
natural providers. He was back the
next night and, in fact, every night
while the toad season lasted; and he
has continued to visit us in the same
manner every summer. 1t is evidently
the memory of well-set table that
brings him back each year.
There are certain bugs, such as po-
tato beetles and squash bugs, that
the toad will not touch. He likes
lightning bugs only when he is very
hungry, but he is not often too full
to spear a luckless June bug that
comes within reach Of his tongue. Now
and then big pinching beetle clinch-
es its strong mandibles on the loads
lips or foreleg and clings there, much
to his inconvenience but apparently not
to his great suffering. One night some
one offered him one of the big green
larvae that feed on grape leaves. The
worm was the size Of mans finger,
but the toad undertook to swallow IT,
He would have succeeded had he
taken the grub headfrst; but, since he
started with the tail, the worm could
dig its hooked feet into the floor and
crawl out OF the toad's mouth. At
the end of FIVE minutes the grub final
ly crawled free, though it died from the
coating Of toad dgester that it had
encountered.
II is fun for the youngsters to feed
katydds to the toad; he has such a
time swallowing all the legs and anten-
nae. He stuffs them into his mouth
with his paws, very much as a little
boy Grams in more cake than his mouth
will comfortably hold. Moreover, the
toad is troubled by the insects kicking
after it is down; and some times a
jarhy will sing quite a swan song after
it Is engulfed. At such times the toad
pats his stomach with his forfeit or lies
fiat on the floor and stretches himself
as far as he can reach.

Good Roads by the Patrol System.

The day of good roads is at hand.
The large savings TO the farmer in
crop transportation on good roads has
been eonelusively proven, many reports
running as high as $500 in saving in
crop transportation alone. There is
scarcely county or a township in the
whole country but that is seriously
working on the good roads problem or
has already solved it.
The immensely of the question is
Better realized when il is remembered
that a township six miles square, il laid
of in sections, has ~ miles of road.
10 an individual farmer his road to
town is the most important But to
the community as a whole each mile
Is OF equal importance. Good laterals.
leading to the main highways, are as
important a consideration as the main
roads themselves; just as side lines
and branches kept in good condition
are as important as the main line of a
/ great railroad system.
An immediate and comparatively in
expensive solution of the problem is
found in putting the dirts roads in
good condition, and keeping them so,
through what is generally known as the
Patrol system.
An excellent dirt road can be made
by taking real care Of il. Then with
patrol man 10 keep it graded and
crowned, the ruts filled in, the bitches
cleared and the surface we'll oiled, no
water will stand on it and the surface
Will remain hard practically the year
round-a II months good road.
/ The Wisconsin plan, through the pa
troll system, has proved so successful
as to be worthy of nationwide con-
sideration. Through this plan the en-
tire system is divided into sections of
8 miles each with patrol man in
charge of each section. II is the duty
OF each patrol man to keep every foot
of his section in good condition the
year COMMUNICATING freedom from
snow. In many parts of the State the
name of the patrol man is prominent
ly placed at the ends of his section
This has been found to stimulate pride
and friendly competition in the work.
Last year the patrolling costs in Wis
consin amounted to about SPAS per
mile, exclusive of oiling, but includ-
ing some heavy grading and recon-
struction work.
The demand for good roads is so in
sistent that many counties and town
ships have adopted the patrol system
in addition to whatever the plans of
the State system may be. Its compar-
atively nominal cost means that a
great many miles of good roads can be
quickly built and satisfactorily main
tanned.
