When the master of the house came out

INSECT AeR1cULruRF.

A few years ago, under the distinguish
ed patronage of Mr.. Darwin, the animal
in vogue with scientific society was the
worm. At present the fashionable ami
nal is the ant. am sorry, therefore, to
have to begin by cOnfessing that the in
sect whose praises 1 propose to sing, al
though bearing the hOnOred name, is
of its fashionable connections, since the
white ant, as an ant, is an imposter. It
Is, IN fact, not an ant at all, but belongs
to q nODler family-thRt of the 1erH5ltjd0s
and, so far from ever having been the
vogue this clever, but artful insect Ii hated
and despised by all civilized people. New
ertheless. if mistake not there is neither
among the true ants, nor among the
worms, an insect which plays a more
wonderful or important part in nature.
Fully TO appreciate the beauty Of this
junction, glance st an apparently dis
tant aspect Of nature viii be necessary
as a preliminary.
When we watch the farmer at work,
and think how be has to plOW, harrow,
manure. and humOr the soil before even
one good crop can be cOaZed out of it,
we are apt to wonder how nature man
ages to secure her crops and yet dispense
with all these accessories. The world is
one vast garden, bringing forth crops of
the most iUZuriant and varied kind cen
fury after century, and millennium after
millennium. Yet the face of nature is
nowhere furrOWed by the ploW, no har-
row Gieintegrates the ClOds, no lime and
phOsphAtes, are etreWed upon its fields,
no visible tillage Of the soil improves the
work on the great worlds farm.
Nov, in reality there can not be crops,
or succession Of crops, without the most
thorough agriculture; and when We look
more closely into nature we discover a
system of husbanGry of the most surpris-
ing kind. Nature does all things unOb-
trusively;and il is only now that we are
beginningtO see the magnitude Of these
secret agricultural operations by which
she does already all that man would wish
to initiate, and 20 which his most Gcien-
tiic methods are but clumsy appr1.zi-
nations
