Picture frames are frequently toe ornate. The simpler they are the less they attract attention from the pie ture itself. They should become & part of the picture and not a separate picture in themselves. Color, how ever, may be used to advantage and any simple wooden frame may Joe painted in oil paint to match some tone of the picture. Ordinarily this is better than to have the frame harmonize with the woodwork of the room.

loads of Some Use in

o1ds or Some Use In
 Curbing Certain Pests Toads have been reputed to aid in |1rbing the numbers of injurious 'nsects and other similar pests. To ascertain the facts in the case the Biological Survey of the United tates Department of Agriculture
 Us analysed the contents of the
 omachs of 502 common toads, and teports that while the findings re- Hlrding the choice of food are of in- \rest they thus far fail to demon \ \ate that toads are of great econo- me importance. Toads go constantly Eoout their own work of gaining a
 Jelihood, and so undoubtedly fill
 cir proper place in nature. They are never very numerous in. one To- cality, however, and as they can not adopt the methods of birds and trav- erse wide stretches of land to aid in combating abnormal local increases of crop and garden pests their in- fiuence is not strongly felt. The investigation shows that certain portion of the toad's food is made up of injurious insects and other pests of growing plants, and that the toad performs some service in such places as greenhouses, gardens, fields of small grain, and golf courses. Any harm that toads do in the consump- tion of beneficial beetles and other insects useful. to man is of little economic importance and does not warrant their indiscriminate destruc- ton.

Eleventh Egg Laying Contest

Hollywood Farms pen of White Leghorns from Hollywood, Wash, won the eleventh annual egg laying contest conducted by the Connecti- cut Agricultural College at Storrs. The final score of the pennant pen was 2,215 eggs or an average of more than 221 eggs for each bullet in the pen. Unlike the winners in some contests this pen Jagged be- hind for large part of the year, but steady laying in the fall months and strong spurt during the last three weeks put this pen under the wire a winner by forty-eight eggs. Hollywood Farm finished in second place year ago and in fourth place two years ago. During the last three years, their three pens, consist ing of thirty birds, have laid 6,552 eggs, or an average of 218 eggs per hen, an enviable record for consist ently good laying.
