Now for the bright side of the picture. if we um find it. The old ‘provorb that “ snow is the poor man's manure," hits, per lmpvl. a grain oftrnth in it. Some chemifls toll u-x tlnt analysis reveals a larger per cen tn-re of ammonia in snow than in rain.— Unn says that water ncquirm nitrous salts in freezing. However that may be, thiu at last is true. thnt snow is a powerful. absorbent. purifying the air and returning those im purities to the soil. Melt in n clean res-e 1 A mass of snow which has lain a short time on the ground, and the tnste will detect. foreign substances in the water. This will he inc-st manifest in the neighborhood of large towns. The hardiness and dryness produced in the month by drinking snow-water. and the unpleasant effects on the skin by washing in it. are n-cribed to the impurities it com thins. The din-use called gum. earning monstrous swelling of the neck. which pre— vails in Alphine regions. is also attributed luv some to the use of snow water. The sh-orbont power of snow has been illustro ted thus: “Tithe. lump of snow (crust unaware well.) of three or four inches in length. and hold it in the flnme of. hump : not a drop of water will fall from the snow, but the water on fast ss formed will be drawn up into the snow by eepillsry Attraction.- It is by virtue of this power thst it purifies the stmosphere by dumbing end reteiniug its noxious end noisome gases end odors.’ Furthermore. it prevents exhnlntiom from the Mk. and ring sheorhed then. returns their fertil' g properties to the soil. Hence. marshes and stugnsnt pools become lnodorom in Winter. utd the un wholemme efiluris ot' regetehle matter everywhere decaying while unfrosen. is re tained. and ‘with the melting of the snow inspiring, is taken up by the soil. Now. if no more than this can he unde out for “ the poor man's manure." it is yet better then some of the patent fertilisers of our day. Snow help- the spring end mill-streams in Winter. Were the ground neked from Fall to Spring, and frozen meanwhile seve ral feet (lee 1, the s irings would 've out. and water-wheels oi all sorts woulfhsve to stand still. As it is, however. the snow prevents the frost from penetrating to n great depth—especially in the wooden hills. which are the fountain-heads ot'sprinp and streams—and by gradual melting keeps up a supply of wntor for Imm and bout. Snow is an excellent protector of tender vegetstion. Even in northern latitudes, there i< a multitude of half-tender indige nous plants which require more or 13;» cov ering in Winter. Nature provides f them most wisely. .\‘ho lumps over thexh the branches of neighboring tiees and bushes, fighters about their roots :1 many-folded blun l of dry leaves and. but of All. spreads over them it fleecy mantle of snow. \Vith thi~ covering. they pal-a through the severest Winter safely ; while, if they Were trans lun ted to exlmed Lituntionsy they would (lie at once.
