A Pet Toad
* Ms I HEARD recently from 2FC of the | wonderful adventures of a toad. ( A friend of mine kept one in her greenhouse for some years. .She made a real pet of him.’ he was a huge fellow, and would ‘sit and laugh up at her while she tickled him with a twig or feather; in return, he kept the flowers healthy by eating the green-fly and other insects which infest plant life. If you wish to keep a toad or frog among your plants, put a few buckets of mould in one corner of the greenhouse, make a hole in the centre of this, and in it place a fairly deep basin-which must be kept filled with water. It .may be partially hidden by planting ferns around it; when wat, ering, use a rose-topped watering-cain so as to moisten the foliage. Toads
revel in dew.-
