AN® GARDEN, Toads ts. Potato Bags. I am not surprised says a letter to the Rural New Yorker, that toads are re¬ ported as feeding upon the Colorado potato beetle. It has long been known that insects form their principal food. The Canadian Entomologist for Decem¬ ber, 1860, quotes good-sized toads in good condition at one shilling (35 cents) apiece, or one pound sterling per dozen. Toads were dealt in quite ex¬ tensively between France and England, and were kcat in gardens, where they proved very Dcncflcial in keeping off m jurious insects. Toads always fix upon some spot as a home or hiding place and will never wander far from it. They may be located in any desired, shady place by penning them in* for a few days; then they may be left perfectly free and will always be found in the accustomed spot when not in search of food. The Plavr as a Fruit Destroyer. On my farm I consider the plow enemy to the orchards, says Colonel Cus¬ ter in the American Garden. It has al¬ ways been impossible to plow the or¬ chards without damaging the trees. There is always more injury than can be seen. The trees are always more or less bruised or mangled, resulting in decay, or they are started loose and set back in growth. These injuries may be seen, but the breaking and barking of roots, nnd the wholesale destruction of the rootlets is unseen murder. Some argue that trees will bear better by having the roots reduced in number, but that is, at best, only a temporary benefit. It checks the growth to reduce the feeding capacity of the tree, and this tends to produce or bring forward the fruit spurs; but it is better to wait a little longer and have a healthy tree and a longer area for fruit development. The destruction of fruit trees by cultivating the land is enor¬ mous. Whole orchards are swept away in a few years, and the best of them are made short lived. Thinning; and liaggingGrapcs It is often necessary m order to have best results from one’s vines, to thin the fruit. One fine bunch of grapes is worth more thau two or thvee small,bad¬ ly grown ones, therefore the wisdom of taking away all the imperfect bunches and weak shoots. Some care is necessary in the thinning of grapes that the poor, unpromising bunches bo taken out and the finest ones left. In thinning out bunch by .relieving it of dwarfed or dis¬ eased berries, care is also required. correspondent in the Horticultural Times cautions against the practice of pulling or turning a bunch round to get at the other side. lie contends that the twisting of the stems induces shanking. As to the efficacy of bagging grapes, not a doubt remains. It pays to do it provided the bags are applied in time. The bags ought to go on as soon as prac¬ ticable after the bloom has fallen and before the berries have attained the size of peas. Arrange the bags so as to in¬ terfere with the leaves as little as possi¬ ble. Remember that tho leaves of a grapevine are its lungs, the conductors and claborators of sap, and nothing is more injurious than to take these away. It is often possible to inclose two bunches in one bag. The usual plan is to make a small hole in the bottonl of each bag to let out any water that might accumulate.—[New York World. l'n*t Walking: Farm Horses. Profits arc small on all farm products nnd all kinds of live stock at present, nnd the farmer who makes money on auy investment in his direct line of or by raising crops or stock, must watch the corners closely and prevent, if possi¬ ble, anything that partakes of the nature of wasto. Tho economy of time is one of the things to be looked after as close¬ ly as anything else, nnd which the kind of horses that are kept has considerable to do with. Compare the distance trav vclled in a day by a strong, sturdy, fast¬ walking team with that which a slow, creeping team will travel, and the dif¬ ference will be surprising. If this dif¬ ference of a day is so noticeable, what must that of a year or the average life¬ time of a horse be? If the Blow team pulls a plough or draws a load but twenty miles per day, while tho other covers twenty-five miles with ae little fatigue, it is easy to calculate wlmt the diflercnc* would be in a year, and how long it would take to gain a whole year's time by using the active instead of the slothful horses. As the most of farm work is done at the walking gait, it is then the duty of the farmer to look after the walking qualities of the horses ho breeds, as much as it it for those who breed fast horses to look after the qualities of the horses they rear. While much de* pends upon the training of a horse as to whether he is a fast walker or not, there is a great deal in the breeding. Some horses are naturally fast walkers, and, like natural fast trotters or pacers, can stand to work at their natural gait much better than those which acquired the habit of walking fast by being pushed. Active, energetic horses; with an inclina tiou for getting over the ground with a strong, square walk, ■will be'more aps V> produce colts that will be a in this direction, than clumsy horses with sleepy dispositions, and these points should be considered when selecting for breeding purposes.—[National Stockman. Farm and Garden Nates. Sprinkle hellebore and water on rose bushes to kill insects. As a rule it is best to let a plant push a little before reporting. Feed turkeys daily enough to induco them to return home regularly at night. Carrots often receive great injury from a few days’ neglect in weeding at this season. Don’t spend money in baying trees nor labor in planting them, unless you intend to care for them afterward. Young pigs require little beyond a clover pasture. Those intend ed for early market should have extra feed. One robin in a cherry tree or grapevine will do more damage than a crow would in a corn field in the same time. Sluggish horses are generally made so by the way they arc handled. A lazy man is pretty sure to have lazy horses. There is no one thing that is so much required nowadays on the average farm as to thoroughly systematize labor. Better late than never. Clean out the cellar and clear up the yard if theso matters are not already attended to. You cannot grow plants with “wet feet.” Farmers had therefore better have tiles in the ground than on their heads. A new, cheap and effective insect killer is composed of one part muriate of potash in one thousand parts of water. The stems of roses having borne bloom should be cut back to a strong bud, which will soon push out new stems. Give the sheep all the clover hay thej will cat after lambing, with meal and quarter linseed, is the advice of a con¬ temporary. The demand for plum trees is very heavy from all over the country, show¬ ing that growers sec their value and plant accordingly. Remember that seeds of pumpkins, cucumbers or melons cannot be relied upon to reproduce themselves exactly when planted side by side. Another point in radish culture. When pulling up a radish, drop a seed or two in the same spot and thus secure a last¬ ing crop throughout the season. All sour milk is not a complete food. It will make a calf look old, rough and unsightly. Put oil meal aud wheat bran with the milk and the calf will bo a beauty. Among the many practical reforms needed on the farm is the abolishment of cattle and horse abuse by the hired men. A man who will kick a horse or cow should he discharged at once. W. D. Philbrick says it is important to keep celery growing steadily. If stunted by a dry spell or very hot weather it is very subject to disease, which is seldom troublesome where the celery can be watered aud kept growing in dry weather. Weeds will now grow apace, and the rake, hoe, and cultivator must bo kept in motion. The asparagus tops should not be cut away for decorations, &c., to auy great extent. Next year’s crop will depend upon the growth of this year’s top; but few weeds will grow in the shade of the tops; pull out those that appear. More trees from neglect any other cause, and the chief neglect is not mulching them well when first set out or else in not keeping the surface r well u worked around them through dry spells. Watering without mulching in times of drought ® often does more harm than good unless , the . ground , is . thoroughly ,. ,, soaked , . just . , at , .

A Hint That Was Not Taken. “I do think that Clawa Mahtin is an awfully nice girl, and I shall always con¬ tinue to do so, but there is one weakness she has I cannot ovahlook in her.” “What is that, Clawcnce?” “It is her excessive fondness for that vewy vulgah chewn, ‘Home, Sweet Home.’ Why, she plays it on a hawwid piano every time I go to sco her, and without evah being awsked.” “It is twuly wemarkable.” And they went down street together trying to ac¬ count for her peculiar fascination for the melody.—[Merchant Traveler.
