Text Appearing Before Image:
ey think, worms eat their green corn.But they would find that the earth without worms wouldsoon become cold, hard-bound, and void of fermentation, andconsequently sterile; and besides, in favor of worms it shouldbe hinted, that green corn, plants, and flowers are not somuch injured by them as by many species of Coleoptera (sca-rabs) and Tipiila (long--legs) in their larvce or grub state, andby unnoticed myriads of smaU shelless snails called slugs,which silently and imperceptibly make amazing havoc in thefield and garden. Worms work most in the spring, and areout every mild night in the winter. They are very pro-lific. Worms are readily destroyed by the application of ccgri-mon salt, sown broadcast, at the rate of five or six bushelsper acre; or on grass plats, by the application of lime-water,or rather milk of lime, which is readily made by stin-ing forten minutes a pound of hot lime in four or five pailfuls ofwater. But, for the reasons already given, they should notbe destroyed. 12
