Wells in these parts have often been low, but never perhaps lower than they have been most of the past summer and autumn. Many were looking anxiously for rain, se that the springs might rise again. But local rains have nothing te de with our wells, and this can be seen by any one who has anything te de with digging of the ground. It makes no difference hew dry or hew wet may be the summer season; if in the fall wc dig a few feet we find the ground dry. Ne rain penetrates te any great depth after the spring rains are ever and before the regular autumn-soakers commence. Sometimes wc have rain several days in a week, and considerable of it at a time, yet, after all this,peeple en digging down find the earth dry six inches from the surface. In fact, the earth has as much as it can de in any season te meet the demands en it from the vegetation growing en its surface. As fast as the surface dries from the heat there is a continual flew from the lower -portions te suply the waste, just as water in a saucer will Hew te the top of a sponge, se that in the cud the saucer is dryer than the sponge in it. Thus the substratum in a dry season is often dryer than the earth loosened by cultivation en the surface. The water which feeds springs and wells docs net come from local rains, ex cept thcy'are very shallow, but often hun dreds of miles away. The frcr.1 cracks and breaks up the rocky faces of moun tains, and the rains and melting snows sometimes many feet in depth descend through the clefts. Heclcs de net absorb water as earth docs. Collected in this way, the water sinks deep into" the earth in the fissures, following the strata te long distances and appearing again only when the rocky veins crop up near the surface. These, therefore, who are looking for deep water in their wells and high water in their springs, have rather te pray for mountain rains than local showers which serve our crops, nothing mere after summer weather once sets in. Black Ants mid Insect Destroyers. The Geneva Continent says : " Many of the leading orchard proprietors in North ern Italy and Southern Germany arc en thusiastic cultivators of the black ant, which industrious insect they held in high esteem as the fruit grower's beat friend. They establish ant-hills in their orchards, and leave the police service of their fruit trees entirely Je the tiny sable colonists, which pass ail their time in climbing up the stems of the fruit trees, cleausiug their boughs and leaves of malefactors, mature as well as cmbryelic. and descending, laden with spoils, te mother earth, where they comfortably consume or pru dently store away their booty. They cap ture the eggs of caterpillars, grubs and canker-worms; they "requisition" all the countless vaiictics of jeaf-lice that strip trees of their young foliage ; they break up the chrysalides awaiting trans formation, and carry them oil' in minute morsels ; they never meddle with sound fruit, but only invade such apples, pears and plums as havealrcady been penetrated by the canker, which they remorselessly pursue te its fastnesses within the very heart of the fruit. Nowhere arc apple and pear trees se free from blight and destruc tive insects as in the immediate neighbor hood of an ant-hill live, or six years old. The favorite feed of ants would appear te be the larva" and pupa- of these creatines which spend the whole of their brief ex istences in devouring tiic tender sheets and juvenile leaves of -fruit trees. Uut nothing in the way of creeping or station statien .ary prayers upon vegetation conies amiss te the indefatigable and insatiable ant, whose animosity against the minuter in sect tribes is se inveterate that " his great revenge hath stomach for them all" Mashing Grain. A new machine has been put in opera in Rochester, N. Y., for grinding grain, which it is said will revolutionize the milling trade, especially in the grinding of wheat. The change consists in crushing the grain between rollers instead of grind ing it by stones. The invention is called the Hungarian system, and this is its first introduction into New Yerk state, out of which it probably will net extend. Removing Candle Grease. The French, who use candles te a great er extent than any ether nation, have a way of effacing caudle grease which is worth knowing. Instead of applying a het iron, they use a few drops of spirits of wine, rubbing the spot with the hand. The grease becomes powder and leaves no trace. Its Ac! ion is Sure and Safe. The celebrated remedy Kidney-XX'ert can new be obtained in I lie usual dry vegetable form, or in liquid lenn. It is run in the latter way ler the cpccial convenience el these who cannot readily prepare it. It will be ieinul very concentrated and will act with ciual cfli ciency in either ease, lie sure and read the new advertisement for particulars. Seuth ami West. dl5-2wditw Wickcd ier Clergymen.
