scended from ancestors accustomed
to roam over plains, where any tuft
of grass or bush might conceal an en-
envy waiting to spring on them. Tn

worm is one of the greatest factors
in improving the soil. An acre of gar
den ground will contain more than
$4,000 worms, through whose bodies
10 tons of soil annually pass. The

assume form in which they are cas-
fly assimilated by vegetation. Worms
also continually change the surface
of the soil by their "castings" at the
rate of about an inch in five years.
