THE TOAD'S USEFUL APPETITE. 



Professor Washburn ot the Minne- 

 sota division of entomology at Uni- 

 versity Farm finds toads to be friends 

 of the farmer. They feed entirely upon 

 an Incredible number of insects. The 

 Federal Department of Agriculture, in- 

 vestigating the toad, discovers the 

 startling fact that in twenty-four hours 

 the insect-food consumed by one toad 

 equals in quantity four times the 

 capacity of its stomach, which is prac- 

 tically filled and emptied four times 

 every twenty-four hours. One hundred 

 and fifty-nine stomachs examined by 

 the department showed a content of 19 

 per cent, of ants; 16 per cent, of cut 

 worms; 10 per cent, of thousand legged 

 worms; 9 per cent, of caterpillars; 8 

 per cent, of ground beetles; 5 per cent, 

 of destructive weevils; 3 per cent, of 

 grasshoppers, together with crickets, 

 spiders, sow bugs, potato bugs, and a 

 miscellaneous lot of other insects. — ■

A LIVING TRUTH THE WORLD ROUND 



ss- IN FIGHTING INSECTS ON VEGETATION always bear in mind 

 that you have to destroy a Living Animal Organism preying upon a Growing 

 Vegetable Organism. You want to destroy the one and spare the other, and 

 it is with this end in view that for full 30 years 



"HAMMOND'S SLUG SHOT" 



and our other preparations have so sucessfully and constantly been used. 

 Akin in destructiveness to Insects comes the Blight, or Rot of the vegetable 

 tissue itself; a plant disease, separate and distinct from insect or "Bug" rav- 

 ages, but more subtle. Good growth aids greatly in resisting plant diseases, 

 yet in many cases without extraneous help the best of plants, shrubs and 

 trees, are scorched by blights as by lire, and in this direction, for more 

 than a quarter of a century, we have prepared
