The Toad.
? ?atrachian Reptile o/thc'G'enus lirctso.
Mit. Em'roit:?The toad is one of the
most' useful and innocent of animals. It
has never been know'n to injure vegeta
bles, nnd may be-considered as almost
indispensable in the flower and vegetable
garden.
In the heat of the day. you will find
the Toad under a tree or bush, or in some
place to shekel) him. from the heat of the
stfti. In the dusk of the evening, he
commences- to feed, and may be seen
where insects most frequent.
His food consists of bugs, worms, ants,
<Src.. Some thirty years since, a gentle
man mentioned that he saved a hand
sonic collection of ro^es in this wise :?
One morning being in his garden, he pcr
k ccived a Toad glutting himself upon the
rosc-bugs as they dropped f rom the bush.
Taking the ^int, bo paid sonic boys to
collect Toads, which he put in his garden..
Ho snys : "To them alone, I attribute
the fact that my roses now exhibit thcip
beauty, nnd my grape vines, their fruit.
The Toad is furnished with a probos
cigj|jjip instrument,, three cr four inches
in length, which ho throws from his
mouth, snaps an insect and conveys it to
the natural receptacle of lood.
"ft
A few Toads iu a garden,, arc a pretty
sure .'guarantee against the destruction of J
plauts,by,nnts, bugs, worms and flies.
Not only the Toad but the whole
family or lizards are useful ?animals
in gardens and orchards. They,., (tho
lizards,) arc more useful in orchards,
fc^than toads, as they climb trees, and feed
UpXHi insects of all kinds; they tiro said
to be perfectly Harmless

Thoughts for the Month.
; cotton.
This crop .requires very careful man
agement the present month. It is in the
midst of its fruiting, und still in full
growth. Two two things arc more or less
inconipntitablc with each other. Vigor
ous, growth appropriates too much of the
orgauizablc material ;il tho command of
the plant, and leave too little to form
fruit. Excessive rains, for instance,
causing large growth of "weed," almost
invariably causes a shedding of fruit.
During this month it is not desirable
to check growth entirely, but to keep it
within moderate bounds ; a slow, but con
tinuous growth is the tiling desired.
?'How much is this under the control of
the farmer? 1st. By shallow, in place
of deep ploughing during cultivation, the
roots have to extend themselves in a
moderately ccnipact mass of earth, (that
loosened by winter ploughing and after
wards consolidated by rain) and rapid
growth cannot take place, inasmuch as
the growth above ground* is commensu
rate with that underneath tlie soil. 2d.
By keeping the sui'frfr-'c lightly stirred at
short intervals, a sudden (-heck from hot
dry dry weather may' be warded oil". A
hard soil for the roots to ramify through,
is of course very objectionable, but a
moderately compact one is'exceedingly
favorable to the fruiting of the cotton
plant. Deep ploughing after the plant
is (? inches hudi is unfavorable to the
forming of fruit. The substitution of
the large sweep for tHoseootor and shovel
is one. of the most important advances in
cotton culture which has taken place
since the war?important because it has
brought dhbui a substitution of shollow
for deep ploughing, and because it bus
rond.Tcd it practicable to cultivate a giv
en area with so much' U-y-s labor.
As the blooms which open as Into as
the 101 h September may produce mature
fruit, it is desirable to promote some
growth up to t oat period. Even if the
Holds arc <;iitir< ly free from grawj there
lore, light ploiigliiiigs should bo given
at intervals through this and the next
month, it'it etui he dune without bveak
iiii'tho limbVof the pltlilt.

l&rto t^rn^fHi boJtf?ft^tUW month.'
We have already cautioned our readersj
ngaiust cutting tho "spur" roots, (those
largo ones which- come out from the joints;
near the surface of the ground.) Tho
last ploughings ought' therefore to bb
shallow but thoieughV On bottonvlands
where much of th? late" corn is planted,
it is best to leave a good bed at this last
working?by so doing tho corn* will not
bo sa liable to bo "drowned out," A
broad-winged sweep, with the right wing
sot so as to throw dirt, may,.- be used-]
if the laud is not grassy. -

If the laying by is done" early irf'flie
month, peas may bo sown broadcast in?
tho corn?1 to 11 bushels-per acrei Tim
is an old and cxcollenfc p?aetiio.- If the
peas do not riper, the vines may be cut
for hay. But it would pay wall not to
harvest or pasture tho peas at all, but
simply let them remain on tho laWd !to'
enrich it. Especially. is*this true invthc
case of bottom laudH,.which' arc rUhi-jwoa?
after jjeaj* iu corn/
Seize" every opportunity to drill iu
peas, in stubble' ?b other uncultivated
land. During ne:3t month there will be
licsurc to work them,, anil no crop will
pay better, for the amount of wofflk it
exacts. "Let your thoughts run forward
to tho lattor part of winter and early
spring, and- imagine how comfortably
you would feel'with your?barn3 well filled4
with pea-vine hay*. For hay purposes
they may be'planted up to tho last of

in our next mnnbor,. a discussion of the
cheapest and bcst'tflari of raising, cutting
and curing pcavine Kay.' This is a Very
important matter to the Southern farmer

proposition? Please lotus have all the
pious over tried or suggested.
sweet potatoes.
Along: the Gulf, slips # or vi lies itift/
still be planted to advantage. In loeali
ties where tlw seasons are shorter, slips
put out after the 10th of July aro not
likely to malte tubers-largo enough for
the taMe,? but in fa'A>?abie seasons may
make excellent seed uotntber. ([five
ligljt workings as lato as possible?late
workings make the crop. Seo that not a1
buueh of grass is left among the vines,
nnd keep the latter from taking root be
tween the beds j> this they arc Very apt
to do, if coveved at all' iu the workings,
or if tho scasoir is wet.
Ruta Bnga? may be planted from tlVc'
middle of this, to the 15th of next month.
Other varieties from tho latter dale to'
middle of September. Very rich ground
and repeated ploughings and harrowings
are tho conditions of sueeess. Nothing
is lost in muking the effort for a good
turnip crop, for if it fail?, the land will
be in charming condition wheat oats
or barley.
"Household EdoNoonr:
K eei'in? i Ci It ken C'oitN.?Dip the Clirs
into foiling water ttntr let them remain1
about two minutes, twke them out, and
when cool cut the corn from the cob and
dry it, just as you would dry fruit, and
when dry put it away iu clean paper
sacks, and by this means 1 have the luxu
ry of green corn nt any time I want.?
To Get Ilm or Flies.?Tho smoke
of the dried leaves of a pumpkin burnt
ou a bright fire, will cattee flies to quit
an apartment instantly, or it will kiH

To Remove Sunburn'.?(Ellen Cf. C)
?Put two spoonfulls of fresh cream into
half n piut of milk; squeeze in the juice
of a lemon, half a glass of brandy, a little
alum and loaf sugar; boil the whole; skim
well, and when cool apply to tiro skirt.
