The Music Of Insects.

The katydid has wing that is very
curious to look at. You have seen this
little insect, have no doubt. its color
is light green, and just where the wing
joins the body there is a thick ridge,
and another on the wing. On this ridge
there is q thin and strong skin. which
makes n sort of drumhead.
1t Is the rubbing of these two ridges
or drumheads that make the queer noise
YOU have heard. There is no music in
it, surely. The insects could keep quiet
as well as not, and they must enjoy
doing it.
The katydid usually makes three rubs
with its drumheadS, sometimes only
two. You can fancy she says katy
did" and She did," or ''She didn' t. -
The moment it is dusk they begin. Soon
the whole company are ut work. As
they rest after each rubbing, it seems
rs if they answered each other.
Did you know that bees hum from I'M
der wings? 1t is not the stir of those
beautiful light wings we hear. 1t is the air
drawing in and out of the air-tubeS, in
the bees quick flight. The faster Il
bee flies the louder the humming is.
Don't You believe insects feel? In
deed they do. They have nerves all
over them, even through their wings,
and out to the end of every feeler. They
suffer Just as much rs YOU do when
hurt. You must remember this. and be
kind to all the little insects God has
made-Oar Little OnaS.

TIE LESSONS OF THE YEAR.

You are larger now than year ago,
And the stories and the lessons they, too, must
grow
And come TO your minds with fresh. new
look
On the unlearned page of this old, old book.
But have YOU my dearS. learned everything
The brave Old year in its arms could bring!
Oh, all the lessons the school books brought,
Perhaps - but the other ones? Have you
thought
That never blossom looks up but tells
Some story of how IFS sweet heart swellS
With grateful love to Him who made
Its beauty of sunshine and rain and shade!
That never a butterfly sips, or bee,
The nectar too little for us TO see.
But out OF the picture lesson goes
Of Him who made clover and bee and rose?
That never a ripened apple falls,
Nor a grape vine puppies on dull old walls,
Nor a nut comes rustling through the leaves,
Nor a vain goes laden with harvest sheaveS,
But in each and all bright eyes may find
How wise and changeless and Heavenly kind
Is He who fashions the endless store
Which blesses the New Year more and more!
And not alone while the warm skies glow
Are written the lessons for US to know,
But the snow and the ice have a truthful word
OF Him whom we worship and call the Lord.
They hide the roots of the honey flowers,
And the trees whose fruits fall thick as show
ers,
And in all the earth and air and sea,
There are stories and lessons for you and me.

Natural and Acquired Fertility.

A soil which is naturally fertile is
much more valuable to the farmer thar
one which is fertile only by the help OF
manure. The natural fertility of the
soil, comparatively speaking, is per.
manent quality, and can only be in,
iured by the continuance of an exhaust.
i've system of cropping for a long time
Acquired fertility is quite a different
matter; it is due to the accumulation
of manurial ingredients in the soil, which
may be reduced or entirely withdrawn
by cropping in a short time.
Continued cropping without manur-
ing results in a reduction of the stock
of available fertility in every soil. A
soil, however, which is soon exhausted
for one sort of crop may still contain
an abundant food supply for a crop OF
another kind. Hence the wisdom of q
rotation of crops which long defers the
period of exhaustion.
The more available substances are,
of course. the first to become exhausted;
poor soil will wear out sooner than 8
rich one; a shallow one becomes ex-
hausted sooner than a deep one, and 3
All soils have more or less store OF
plant food in dormant condition ca
pable of gradual development. AS
cropping removes available plant-food
from the soil it is replaced more or less
rapidly by the agencies of the weather,
the action of earth worms, etc. The
processes of natural soi-renovation is
greatly accelerated 10 artificial means,
such as tillage, drainage and the appli-
cation of manures. With a judicious
system of rotation of crops and fertil-
izing, the active fertility in the soil may
be made to reproduce itself year after
year, instead of becoming exhausted,
as is too often the case, after a long Pc
riod of Encouragement.
Mr.. Lawes, of Rothamsted, England.
gives to the public the results of an ex-
pertinent extending through twelve
years. The two crops grown eachyeaI
were wheat. The soils were similar
and in the same field, the management
the same in so far as culture was con-
cerned, and the seed used the same
The only difference was that in one
case nature had been unassisted by ma
nure, and in the other the soil each
year received the fertilizers which were
found to be most suitable to the crop.
The result of the latter treatment was a
return of three times the weight of grain
and four times the weight of straw, for
an expenditure of manure which left q
profit of 100 per cent. on its cost.-N
