TOADS IN GAKDENS. 
Various remedies have been given for the prevention of 
the ravages of insects in gardens. Worms, or the larvae 
of certain moths and beetles, often make great destruc¬ 
tion among many kinds of plants. Various kinds of 
bugs attack melons, cucumbers, squashes, &c., and of¬ 
ten destroy the crop soon after it appears above ground. 
Some kinds of worms seldom or never appear above the 
surface of the ground—attacking plants at their roots, 
or at such parts as are covered by earth. Others eat 
the leaves, and sometimes the stems of young plants. 
The latter are frequently called “ cut worms,” from the 
manner in which they cut off plants at the surface of 
the earth. In this way they totally destroy some kinds 
of plants, as beans, melons, cabbages, &.C., which, when 
once cut off in this manner, can make no farther growth. 
One of the best means of preventing the ravages of these 
insects, is to hunt them early every morning, while they 
are near the plants they have eaten the previous night, 
and destroy them. Young chickens and ducks are some¬ 
times kept in gardens, that they may devour the insects. 
This is but a partial remedy. Chickens will only eat a 
few species of insects—some of the most destructive 
they leave unnoticed—and they will always do more or 
less injury by eating various plants, and by scratching. 
Ducks feed more indiscriminately on insects, and do less 
damage to the plants. But toads will do much more 
good in proportion to the number, (if well grown,) than 
either chickens or ducks. They do no injury whatever; 
they feed altogether on insects, and devour almost every 
species that infests the garden. They have another ad¬ 
vantage over chickens or ducks—they seek their food 
at times when insects are most abroad; at dusk of even¬ 
ing, when fowls are at rest. Excepting the black 
“ pumpkin bug,” toads will fill their stomach with any 
bug, worm, or fly, that belongs to the catalogue of ene¬ 
mies to the farmer or gardener. 
FATTENING SWINE ON APPLES. 
The evidence which has heretofore been published, in 
regard to the value of apples as food for stock, is sup¬ 
ported by facts which are frequently brought to our 
knowledge. Mr. James M. Ellis, of Onondaga Hill, 
lately stated to us that he had been in the practice of 
using apples extensively for fattening hogs, for several 
years, and their value had been proved to be such, that 
he deems it an object of profit to produce pork by the 
aid of apples, but would not, otherwise, so regard it. 
He has a large apple-orchard, in which he allows his 
hogs to range most of the season. They are of much 
benefit to the trees by destroying many of the insects 
which the fallen fruit contains, and by keeping the 
ground loose and rich. As the fruit approaches ripe¬ 
ness, the nutriment increases, and the hogs thrive faster. 
When nearly ripe, those apples which are not readily 
marketable, boiled, or steamed, are mixed with meal 
and the slops of the kitchen and dairy, constitute 
the food for fattening hogs. The meal is increased to¬ 
wards the close of the fattening process, being at last 
equal to one-fourth of the bulk of apples. Mr. E. in¬ 
forms us that his pork is always of excellent quality, 
and is so regarded by all who have purchased it.
