These Humble eurrewsrs Are Great
Aids to the Farmer.
The humble earthworm Is one Of
mans best friends. The farmer and
the gardener could not spare him. DR..
j. Newton Friend fells about him In
Science Progress. From DR.. Friends
observations it appears that worms
aerate the soil in variety Of ways.
In burrowing through the soil the
worms render 1t more porous and per-
meable to gases. not merely by virtue
Of the air spaces formed. but by rea-
son of the fact that the soil Is thus
continually kept IN gentle motion.
Again, the soil passing through the
bodies of worms Is excreted In finer
condition. being ground by attrition
through the intestines. Darwin esti-
mated that no fewer than fifteen tons
Of soil annually pass through the bod
les Of worms for every acre.
Further, worms breathe in oxygen
and exhale carbon dioxide. and the lat
ter gas, as is we'll known. readily dis
solves in water. forming an acid solu-
ton which will render alkaline earths
and metallic oxides-iron-soluble.
Worms materially aid in producing
soluble salts of iron In the soil when
other agencies-e. e.. dilute mineral
acids-fail. The iron is eventually CIV

Don't Turn Out Too Early,

Many farmers are anxious to get their
COWS on pasture as early as possible, and
in so doing often times do not give the
grass a chance to get q suf1i cient start to
enable il to produce the largest amount
of feed during the season. A botanical
study of the grass plants shows US that
if the plants are to make any great
amount of growth they must have an
abundant green leaf surface. This is be-
cause some of the foods taken up by the
plants must be carried to certain green
bodies that lie in the plant leaves where
these foods are manufactured into mate
rials that the plants utilize in growing.
Thus we see that II the plants are closely
grazed before there is sufficient green leaf
surface to allow the manufacture Of the
needed material the vitality OF the plants
will be greatly lowered and their growth
will be very slow. Consequently the
pasture will not be able to carry its full
est amount Of stock.
In many instances if the cattle were
kept off these pastures for ten days to
two weeks longer than ordinarily, the
plants would have q chance to make the
needed growth and get strong. Exactly
how much of q start the grass needs Is
difficult to state; but it should probably
be allowed to attain height of two to
three inches. There are no figures that
will show definitely how much stock
pasture that has a good start will carry.
The majority of careful grazers consider
that the carrying capacity can be in
creased from so to 100 per cent by this
method.
Again, on soils where there is consider
able clay, il the stock are turned out
while the ground is still wet and
"punchy," it becomes so compacted by
constant tramping that the roots OF the
plants cannot penetrate among the soil
particles and get the necessary plant
food with the result that the grasses die
out. In 1910 the writer visited pasture
that had been absolutely ruined because
the stock were turned on while the
ground was still too wet. The constant
trampling of cattle while the soil
(which was heavy clay) was too wet, re-
suited in its becoming so badly compact
ed that no vegetation could grow on II,
ii being like the floor of brickyard.
Rather than turn out too early, 1t is
much better economy to keep the cattle
on silage. or other rough feeds a little
longer in the season. Where this is i'm
it is often possible to grow
a rye pasture that will be ready for graz
ing about ten days earlier than the regu-
lar pasture. As soon az the regular pas
ture is ready the rye can be allowed to
grow up and a crop can be harvested, or
il can be turned under and followed by
some other crop. Many farmers are
predjudieed against rye, as they claim it
taints the milk. II is true that IL the
cattle are turned on green rye suddenly
the milk will be affected. This occurs
whenever any green feed Is suddenly
changed. II the cattle are tur ned on rye
pasture gradually there is usually little
trouble from this SOURCE. S. Cotton,

Tanned Skin.

In the majority of cases tanned skin
Is an indication Of health. 1t Is con-
dition resulting from the action OF
chemical rays or Of the ultra violet
rays of the sun on the pigment OF the
skin. Tan may be produced also by
exposure to the rays Of mercury
lamp or it may be caused electrically.
But in these cases 1t Is no indication
Of the state Of health. 1t does not
mean that there has been a multipli'
cation of red corpuscles in the blood
such as follows healthful exercise IN
the open air. The tan acquired by
the skin at sea or ashore as result
of life and exercise in the open air Is
always a sign of health, for the rea'

conditions that do not obtain In the
