won.lerful work of Earthuorms.

Darwin. the great naturalist, gave it as his opinion that earthworms annually bring to the surface not less than 10 tons of dirt to every acre the earth over This they do through swallowing earth for the sake of the vegetable matter 1t may contain, the rejected casting being the portion brought to the surface, because it Is rendered unfit for further use by the action of the worms digestive fluids. Thus 1t will be seen that earthworms are the farmers best friends, aiding in agricultural work by rendering the surface porous. Their work of con stant perforating makes the soil highly pervious to rains, the tender stalks of plants, etc. They also cover up decaying vegetable matter that may be lying upon the surface and perform other services that are as yet unexplainable.
 The earth without worms would be like dough without yeast, cold, hard bound and void of fermenta- ton, and consequently sterile. This has been the case in many instances where the earthworms have been accidently or intentionally destroyed. In all such cases the lost fertility of the soil has been again restored as soon as the worms resumed their work of fertilization. St. Louis Re public.
