Toads and Bees.
Toads are very useful animals to the farmer
and gardener, uud it is a pity that they are
not equally so to the bee keeper. The insec
tiverous propensities that induce them to swal
low beetles, moths and eatterpiilars, unfortun
ately ler.d them to eat bees ; and not the big
fat drones alone—those fussy old fellows, that,
like some bipedal animals of higher order,
make a great diu and do little—but the indus
trious workers, that come home laden with
honey or pollen, are taken in, and no questions
asked. II is toadship sits quite still, and when
over a poor little bee comes within reach of
his long, flexible tongue, there is a quick snap,
and presto, the bee is gone. Kot content with
catching bees on clover heads, and among the
flowers and grass, toady becomes impatient —
lie marches up to the bee hive, and woe betide
the poor, wearied bee that drops short of the
alighting board when he is by.
We ouce had two hives placed close to the
ground, and with alighting boards that were
easily accessible to the tond, if he chose to
jump a Utile. One morning there were two
middle-sized ones seated on the alighting
boards, like sentries, on each side of the en
trance, and they exacted toll from every bee
that attempted to enter, and the toll was like
thai levied by the old robber barons of the
Rhine ; it was all they bad, and themselves
too. The other hive had a great fat over
grown fellow piayiug the part of King Crane.
The way he look down a bee showed that he
was an adapt at the business. There he sat,
squatted on the board, with head close to the
entrance, and his big goggle eyes sparkling
Miss Uce alights. The great mouth is opened
—the tongue thrust out, and as quickly drawn
back, and with it the gatherer of honey.—
Some minutes were devoted to the study of
ibis trail in the toads character, and then they
found Iheuselves taking an involuntary flight
over a iikQn.--Ohio Farmer.
HOGS IN TUB APPIE ORCHARD. —Nobody
sends .such apples to market as my neighbor
John Jacobs. lie always has apples to sell
and gets the highest price. Folks prefer fair,
large apples, and such are always packed iu
Jacob's barrels. You might search them
with a caudle and not find a knotty fruit or a
worm hole. Such Rhode Island Greenings
and Roxbury Russet ts I have never met with
in the States. They are as handsome as any
thing in the virgin soil of the west.
1 was going to Jacob's orchard last summer,
and I had the curiosity to call and examine j
for myself. Says 1, " Neighbor, what is there I
in your soil that makes such smooth large ap
ples 'I They arc a third larger than auythingl
can got, and my trees look as well as yours.
The secret is not iu the soil," Johu repli
ed with a twinkle in his eye ; do you see those
grutiters there ? My pork brings me fifty cents
a pound—eight in flesh, and the balance iu
fruit. I began to pasture my orchard ten
years ago with hogs, and since that lira?- 1
have had no trouble with wormy fruit. Ap
ples, as a general thing, don't fall from the
tree unless something is the matter with them.
The apple worm and curcuiio lay their eggs iu
the fruit, and the apples drop early. The pigs
devour the apples, and by September every un
sound apple is gone and 1 have nothing but
fair fruit left. The crop of it -eels for the ir.-xt
year is destroyed by the pigs. They root
around under the trees, keep the soil loose,
manure the land some, and work over what
manure I spread. The apples help the pigs,
and the pigs help the apples."
I saw John's secret at toco, and have pro
filed by it. 1 never had so few insects as this
spring, and I give pigs the credit for it. In
turning the orchard into a pasture put in pigs
• —not lank pikes with snouts like levers. You
nrght lose trees as well as insects in that case
But well bred animals, with judicious snouts,
will root in a subdued and christiau-like muu
ner.— Agriculturist.
PIKE WATER FOB STOCK.—A good draught
of good water is, probably, as. refreshing to
beasts as it is to people. But in the hot sea
son nearly all domestic animals sutler far more
than we imagine, tor want of good water. —
Sheep will thrive far better. Teams will en
dure the heat tar better if they can have u
plenty of clean pure water, and if milch cows
must drink stagnant water wherever they can
Cud it, how is it possible for them to give their
usual flow of good milk ? It is impracticable
for them to do it.
Some people allow water to stand iu troughs
dav after day, many times, and compel their
animals to drink it all up. Did such people
ever drink water from an old dirty slop-pail,
efter it had been allowed to sta.':d tbo sun
shine for two or three days ? Let them try
the experiment of drinking such water, and
wait the result; and they will be prepared t0
express a correct opinion, whether or not such
water is us good for stock in the sultry days
of August, as pure cold water would be.
Water troughs and water tanks should be
cleaned frequently during hot weather, and
fresh water pumped into them several times a
day.
Milch cows require a vast quantity of pure
water iu hot weather, iu order to produce the
u-tial fljiV of good milk.
The demand for grain aud breadstuff*
is likely to be nnu-u:dly large. Not to speak
oi the foreign market, there will be a great de
mand at home. The operations of the war
must have diminished lbs product of grains
somewhat, iu the North and still moro in the
South. With all the efforts of the Confeder
ate Govcrnm. Nt to secure an increased supply
of breadstuff* at home, it is not likely the
South will produce as much grain us usual.—
Our advancing i.rmy has found destitution in
many places, and there is, doubtless, much
more than has been heard of. There cannot
fail to be a great demand for provisions iu the
South as soon as tlx y are again thrown open
to commerce.
