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 - OBSERVER. 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. ? .

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. - fe ab,-: \ i} ?) /? * I'M ft --i ' I )\ /\ '. ?

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.
