This
intimate
and
friendly
association
of
the
ants
and
aphides
has
been
the
subject
of
much
interesting
scientific
investigation
and
surprising
discovery.
Huber
and
Lubbock
have
given
to
the
world
many
startling
facts,
the
significance
of
which
may
be
gathered
from
the
one
statement
that
certain
species
of
ants
carry
their
devotion
so
far
as
literally
to
cultivate
the
aphides,
carrying
them
bodily
into
their
tunnels,
where
they
are
placed
in
underground
pens,
reared
and
fed
and
utilized
in
a
manner
which
might
well
serve
as
a
pattern
for
the
modern
dairy
farm.
Indeed,
after
all
that
we
have
already
seen
upon
a
single
bramble-bush,
would
it
be
taking
too
much
license
with
fact
to
add
one
more
pictorial
chronicle--an
exhilarated
and
promiscuous
group
of
butterflies,
ants,
hornets,
wasps,
and
flies
uniting
in
"a
health
to
the
jolly
aphis"?
