work the Yaruba knows that 1t Is
useless to make his farm.
Estimating one square yard Of
dry earth by two feet deep as
weighing half a ton, there is an
annual movement Of earth per
square yard Of the depth of two
feet, amounting to not less than
forty-five pounds. From this it
appears that every particle of
earth in each ton of soil to the
depth Of two feet is brought to
the surface once in twenty-seven
years.
It seems more than probable
that the comparative freedom OF
this part of West Africa from
dangerous malaria fevers is due,
in part at least, to the work Of
the earthworms in ventilating
and, constantly. bringing to the
surface the soil in which the
malarial germs live and breed.

we went out hunting to a
very pleasant spot which we
had chosen beforehand. While
the men were hunting geese
we sat in the shade of some
large box elders. We found a
few strawberries and then we
began to hunt for more. We
found a large patch and be-
gan to pick them. Then We
hunted BIRDS nests and when
it was time to go back and
cat lunch, we could not think
where we had left it. Then
the men came back and that
ended our long day of hunting.
