1t is not generally known to what
extent we are indebted to worms for
the prodaetiveness of our gardens
and fields. 1t has been found.
by series Of experiments car
-ied out by n German naturalist,
that the tunnels made by worms in
to the earth arc frequently of much
service to plants whose roots occupy
the channels that have thus been
made. The mold of our gardens
and fields, too, is improved to an al
most uncomfortable extent by the
borrowings of this humble insect.
Each worm in less than week pas
ses through its body its own weight
in mold, and the soil thus produced
is fine and light, an extremely help
full to the growth of plants. When
it is remembered that there are in
every acre some "a, 900 worms, and
that in addition to forming every
day about thirty>seven pounds of
fine mold, they open up the subsoil
and render it fertile, We shall gain
some slight conception Of our indebt.

Butter in Brazil.

There are four native modes of
making butter in the empire of Bra
zil. The first is by putting the milk
in common bowl and beating it
with spoon, ms You would an egg.
The second by pouring the milk into
a bottle, and shaking till the butter
appears, when it is removed by
breaking off the top Of the bottle.
The third, where the dairy is more
extensive, is performed by filling a
hide with the milk, which is Justify
shaken by an athletic native at each
end until butter is produced. the
fourth, which is considered to indi-
cate a vast progress over any of the
preceding methods, consists in drag.
ging the hide or leather vessel, filled
with milk, on the ground after a
galloping horse until it is supposed
the butter is formed. The milk is
never strained ard the butter never
washed.

Lice OH Cattle.

There are several kinds of lice
which infest farm stock. Some con-
fine themselves wholly to tho horse
and ass, others to the OK and COW,
while another is particularly trouble
some to calves. All the kinds may
be safely treated by rubbing strong
wood ashes into the hair, or with
sulphur ointment. No parasites
can withstand the fumes Ct sulphur,
and it is very easy to rub down with
a quantity of sulphur N whale oil, or
even common lard. But killing the
lice OH the animals is but tcmpor-
airy relief, unless all the buildings,
sheds and yards where the cattle
sleep are also thoroughly cleansed.
Scatter wood ashes freely about the
stables in dry weather, and use
sulphur in the same way, as a few
dimes worth will cover quite a large
surface. Stock cannot thrive when
tormented with lice, or other para
sites but cleanliness is a great
eradicator of such enemies.
A correspondent advises the same
method for killing lice on cattle that
is employed by florists for extermin-
ating bugs that infect plants, to wit
Cover the animal with a blanket
pinned close around the nose, and
smoke thoroughly with tobacco. 1t
will destroy the lice, without the bad
effects following the wetting with
decoctions Or use Of grease a second

Green Manures.

The agricultural chemists have
fully demonstrated that cow-peas or
clover ploughed into the soil in a
green state will enrich it, because
they contain all the fertilizing ele-
inents that our crops need, viz : Sill
lea alumnia, lime, magnesia, oxide
of iron, oxide of maghcsia, potash,
soda, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen,
carbonic acid, phosphoric acid, sui
phuric acid and chlorine, Red clo~
YER contains these in far larger pro-
portions than the COW pea, but the
latter does contain them and is con-
a most valuable manure:
The best agriculturists Of the old
world and of America place the nigh.
est value on green manuring, and
many prefer i. to animal manure.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Envy shooteth at others and wound
eth herself.
The wisest man is not free from a
mixture Of folly.
Button says that genius is only great
patience.
Friends are won by those who be-
lievc in winning.
\ malicious enemy is not SO bad as o
clumsy friend.
We arc only really alive when We en-
JOY the good will of others.
\ cheerful face is nearly as good for
a patient as healthy weather.
Calamity is often whip to virtue
and spur to a great mind.
Men who avoid female society have
dull perception, aud gross tastes.
Great natural gifts bring duties to
their possessor rather than privileges.
To be silent about an injury makes
the doer Of it more uneasy than COM
plants.
Impatience is a sure proof Of inferior
strength, and a destroyer Of what little
there may be.
Trust him little who praises all him
less who censures all and him Least
who is indifferent about all.
You need not tell all the truth un-
to those who have u right to know it
all. But let all you tell be the truth.
The real gentleman never obtrudcs
upon others his fine sense of poltcness;
indeed, his great charm, aud test of his
perfect manners is that he assumes
nothing.
Our customs and habits arc like the
ruts in roads; the wheels Of life settle
into them, and We jog along through
the mire because it is too much trouble
to get out OF them.
Do little helpful things and speak
helpful words whenever you can. They
are better than pearls or diamonds to
strew along the roadside Of life. They
will yield a far more valuable harvest,
a. you will End after many days.

TWO SUNSETS.
Once before a saw the sunset

Once before saw the sunset
From this roekey hill,
Saw the valley deep and misty,
Saw the mountains blue and still.
And the golden clounds above them
Wit; the joyous sunbeams thrill.
But twas not so much the sunset
Which ensouled the place,
As it was the glow and glorys
Bcaming from thy rapturned face,
Wistfully unconscious Of me,
Gazing outward imo space,
Now once more | see the sunset.
Years have had their fight,
See the misty valley darkling,
Sec the mountains purple light,
And the shadow Of the pinions
Of the dusky eagle, Night.
But alone sec the sunset.
Dearest thou art far.
And the clouds grow black and heavy,
Shutting out the evening star.
And my heart is full and weary,
Crushed as by an iron bar.
Though know that day returneth,
And the night is gain.
Yet I cannot lift the burden,
OF the pressing grief and pain;
Darkness has closed around me,
Vain is courage-trust is vain.

BrOad-CheSted Horses.

"Wind," says an old horseman,
sis the grand secret of u fast horse.
Good lungs viii cover a multitude
of faults while, on the other hand,
perfection of shape and form arc
useless when the wind is out. The
chest, therefore, in all cases, should
be large and capacious. In shape
it may vary somewhat, according to
the service to which the horse is to
be put. If he is to be kept for slow
work and heavy drawing, the chest
may be nearly circular in form, be-
cause this shape is one for strength
and bulk, to receive and bear up
against the pressure of the collar,
while at the same time sufficient
room is secured for that expansion
of the lungs caused by slow, regular
work. But if the chest is circular,
let it be at the same time deep, or
else the lungs may be cramped. A
horse with shallow chest is worth.
less for any purpose. The rule,
then, is this: For a draught horse,
circular but deep chest: but, as
you pass through the different de.
grccs of speed, up to the racer and
trotter, the chest will increase in
depth, compared to its roundnc>s,
until. for the highest rate Of speed,
you must take q chest as deep as a
greyhound, and at the same time
not lacking in strength"
