— Breeds of livestock cannot be im-

"his characteristics upon his offspring
| that they are more like him than like
the common herd.
—An inch of rain coming down on
| a single acre of ground would fill
! more than 600 barrels of 45-gallon
| capacity each. This amount of water
would weigh more than 110 tons, or
"nearly a quarter of a million pounds.
— More land in grass and other hay
crops and less in row crops would be
' a profitable change on many farms.
Many farmers are working their
| teams down, wasting their own vitali-
‘ty trying to cultivate too many acres
in row crops.

|1ly. Do not cut out large limbs. Nev-

Summer pruning induces fruitfulness,

are wholly dormant, increases the vig-

made of equal parts of turpentine, |

olutions as to growing more feed.

Late plowing is also beneficial in
the destruction of insects.
sects that have burrowed in the soil
to pass the winter and deposit their
eggs for hatching a crop of pests for
next season are turned to the surface
by late plowing and destroyed by the
exposure of severe freezing. While it
may not kill all insect life it will so
reduce their force that they will be in-
capable of doing much harm.
Heavy clay soils are generally the
hardest to prepare for seeding, un-
less they are plowed in the fall. The
exposure to freezing and thawing
that the soil will get permits plowing
when somewhat wetter than would be
the case in spring. Winter freezes
counteract, to a considerable extent,
the tendency of the soil to puddle or
form clods and become hard.
There is not so much benefit deriv-
"ed from fall plowing a sandy soil, as
i
far as the tendency to form clods is
concerned, but it will do a lot of good
in the destruction of insect life.

| Statistics show that farmers in’

sills, and other portions of buildings
could largely be reduced by proper
treatment of wood before it is used
and by use of concrete in construction

have proved that burning or charring
fence posts does not prevent decay.
Proper treatment with creosote or
other wood-preserving liquid prolongs
the life of exposed lumber and fence
posts many years.
__It is not too late to plow the land
in this section. So long as the ground
is not frozen, where the soil is not too
easily eroded, or where the crop is not
to be seeded until the following
spring, greater benefit is derived by
fall plowing than in the spring. :
The object of plowing in the fall is
fine particles as possible so that the

have an opportunity of securing

THE HARMLESS, USEFUL TOAD.
The toad must catch his own meals.
| He scorns dead food. He must see it
move to be sure it has not slipped the
bonds of life and begun to spoil. In
| a day and a night he captures enough
Ito stuff his stomach full four times,
| although if he had to he could exist
{ without eating longer than any other
| creature. He eats caterpillars, moths,
| weevils, snails, bugs, worms, spiders,
| beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, many
kinds of winged insects, even wasps,
{ and innumerable other noxious pests,
i and in six months he will put twenty
i thousand of them where they can
harm no man’s garden. Reckoning on
every one of these working a mill’s
worth of harm to somebody’s crop,
one toad prevents twenty dollars’
worth of injury, and we know that
one mill is a low value to set upon
such individual damage. In some
countries toads sell to gardeners up to
$15 a head, and are shielded from
prowling scavengers the same as any
domestic stock.
A toad that adopts you and your
garden and makes his home in your
dooryard has claim on your protec-
tion. His homing instinct is strong,
and you may count on his clinging to
life—and your premises—at least for
a decade unless he is stoned to death,
and the chances are he will outlive
you, for a generation as we reckon
human life, or even forty years, is
not beyond the possibilities of a con-
tented toad. And he asks no favors,
not even shelter when wintry storms
sweep the fields bare of the vegeta-
tion that affords him provender. He
will provide himself with a winter
burrow just as easily as he hides un-
der a damp stone or mouldy log from
the glare of summer days. The old
superstition that toads are poisonous
has vanished before scientific re-
search, just like many another dismal
whim possessed by unenlightened
minds. They cannot live under wa-
ter, although their five-toed hind feet
are partly webbed.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
If your salesmen spend unproductive
time going from prospect to prospect, because
of slow transportation, it is money lost. Slow
transportation robs them of part of their time
—time that might just as well be turned into
sales.
A Ford runabout furnishes quick trans-
portation at the lowest possible cost. By
equipping your salesmen with Ford cars, you
will enable them to devote more energy to
selling goods.
