s,eloDament OF Races OF AMI
Enals.

oxen and the author Of the ssVestiges
Creation" have en1eavored to prove
A. the different races of animals now ex-
inc are developments, not separate crea
rol; and that life on: our earth commenced
> h very imperfect condition, and through
nyriads Of ages gradually improved (de
|reoped) into its present diversified expan-
led PROJECTIONS. Hugh Miller completely
|expl5ded this theory, so far as it related to
al life commencing at a point, and deyei-
oping upwards; still, he admits, In his
aFootsteps of the Creation, that success
i've creations of races exhibit improvements,
or rather developments, and so does Agas-
siz, and thus they grant half of the argu-
ments at least. to those who believe IN the
gradual development Of life from a mite
Ip to a man. In reference TO such dispu-
tations among naturalists, DIR. Doubeny, of
England, distinguished for his scientific az
tainments, says, in his Presidential Address
before the late meeting Of the British Sci
entiic Association:
Among the principles recently regard
ed as axions in geology, none seemed SO
likely to be disputed as this: That the
elasses of animals and vegetables which
possessed the most complicated structure,
were preceded by others of a more simple
one: and that when we traced back the
succession of being to the lowest and the
earliest OF the sedimentary formations, we
arrived at length at a class Of rocks, the
DISPOSITION of which must be inferred, from
the almost entire absence Of organic re-
mains, to have followed soon after the first
dawn of creation. But the recognition of
the footsteps and remains Of reptiles in
beds of an earlier date than was before as
signed to them, tended to corroborate the
ipfereDces which had been previously de
Quoted from the discovery, in few rare
instances, in rocks of the secondary age, OF
mammalian remains, and this has induced
certain eminent biologists boldly to dis
mite whether from the earliest to the latest
htericd of the earth's history and graduation
Of beings can in reality be detected. =

How to Break Brush Land.

[ have small farm, and farm it pom
rathera small scale, but | find that a little
land we'll titled, is better than large farm
not half cultivated. About five years ago
| commenced making my improvements on
eighty acres of what is called 0brush'' land
which is very difficult to pillow on account
Of the roots and 'grubs." Ny manner Of
blowing such land is this: In the first
place | cut the brush and saplings all of
as near the ground as possible, particularly
the halle and sumach, with a brush scythe.
The larger saplings | cut with an axe
grubbing nothing. I then take a good
stout shovel pillow, stoutly stocked, suffi-
GENTLY strong for two horses, and having a
good strong coulter or cutter, inserted
through the beam of the pillow and extend
ing down within an inch of the nose or
point Of the shovel, and about half an
inch below, to keep the shovel from getting
under the roots. The coulter should be
made Of bar iron two inches wide
and sbree-quarters thick, laid with steel,
and made rounding at the point, and kept
sharp, so that it will cut all small roots,
and slide over the large ones, giving them
such wound at the same time as to cause
them to die in the course of the season.
1t should be set in standing position,
standing little back to the top, SO as to
make the pillow go into the ground freely.
If set too straight, the pillow will not keep
in the ground well. Ground cleared and
plowed IN this way will yield 40 to 80
bushels of corn the first season, and the
second year it can be broken very nicely
with common two horse pillow.
think this is the best plan for any one
who, has not money to pay So per acre for
blowing, and from $40 to$l2 per acre for
grubbing. The pillow will not cost more
than 50 at the highest estimate, and any
one that can use an auger can make the
stock. Two horses are a sufficient team to
pillow WITH Freeport (Ill.) journal.

Railroad Stocks.

Our readers may be aware, that there
lately has feen a concerted strong and too
successful '.n attempt to break down the
price of the stocks of railroad companies
generally, in Wall street. The New York
Economist says, that the aggregate loss te
stockholders IN seven roads named is 1914
$4,000. The following are the roads men
toned: New York Central, Erie, Michigan
Sol them, Reading, Cleveland and Toledo,
G..lena ana Chicago, Milwaukee and Miss
issippi. These loads have paid large divi-
lends,and we have no doubt will continue
to do so, and the whole mischief to the
stockholders has been occasloncd by the
cry that there was soon to be "mohey
pressure" There has been no genera
pressure, except what has been occasionec
BY the loud assertion, that there would
be one. The money market was seldom
easier or more uniform In New York, thar
Iii has been for the last three months,in The
very face of all this hullaboloo. We have
seldom seen the force of knavery,or its re
acting force in this casej foolery5 better il
