And thus it is that we see It xvorks to give us tlio "early and tlie latter rain." It works to send tlie rills and streams, like lines of silver, down the mount ain and across the plain. It works to pour down the larger brooks which turn tlie wheels that energize the machinery which gives employment to millions, commercu stimulated, wealth accumulated and Intelligence disseminated through the agency of this wealth. The leaf does it till. It has been demonstrated that every square Inch of leaf lifts il.oOO of an ounce every twenty-four hours. Now, a largo forest tree has about five acres of foliage, or ll,'Ji2,lllO square Inches. This being multipled by 11. oiii) (the amount pumped by every inch), gives us the result 'JJ.VJounes or l,17i! pints, or -!H quarts, or eight barrels. Tho trees on an acre give SOU barrels In twenty-four hours. An ueie of grass, or clover, or grain, would yield about the same result.
