It is not genemliy known to what erfent wo are indehtd to worms lor the productiveness of oiirga dens and fields. It lias been found, by a series of oxperimentscarried out by German naturalist, that the tunnols made by worms into the earth ate friquently of much service to plants whose roots occupy the channels that have thus been made. Toe mould of ourga dens, and fields too, Se improved to an a!most inconceivable extent by tho borrowiugs of this humble insect Each worm in leas than a week passes through its body its own weight in mould, end the soil thus produced i fine and light, and extremely helpful to the growth of plants. When it is remembered that there are in every acre xcme 34,000 worm?, and shat in addition to forming every day about 37 tbs, cf fine mould they Cpen up , the subsoil and render it fortilo, we shall gain icmo slight conception of out indebtedness to these apparently insignificant and generally nnthought oi little workers.
