ANCIENT AGRICULTURAL LORE

Pliny, the Roman writer of the first
century, dealing with popular. agricul-
*; tural lore of his times, says Many per-.
lsons,for the effectual protection af
millet, recommend that a bramble-frog
should be carried at night round the

he field before the hoelng is done, and

_then buried in on earthen vessel in the
middle of the field. If: this is done, |
they say, neither sparrows nor worms
will attnek the crop. The frog, how-
ever, must be disinteyred before the!
nullet is cut; for, if this is neglected,
the produce will be bitter. It is pre-
tended, too, that all seeds which have
been tonehed -by the shoulders of a
mole are remarkably productive.
