THE QUESTION OF DEsCENT.-At recent
meeting of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, an English bishop
closed a sarcastic speech against the Dar-
winians by turning to Professor Huxley, their
leading representative, and blandly asking, in
the presence of the large audiences SIS the
learned gentleman really willing to have it go
forth to the world that he believes himself to
be descended from a monkey" ?" Professor
Huxley rose and replied in his quiet manner:
-'It seems to me that the learned bishop
hardly appreciated our position and duty as
men OF science. We are not here to inquire
what we would prefer, but what is true.
The progress of science from the beginning
has been a conflict with old prejudices The
origin of man is not question of likes and
dislikes, to be settled by consulting the feel
ings, but it is question of evidence, to be
settled by strict scientific Investigation. But,
as the learned bishop is curious to know my
state of feelings upon the subject, have no
hesitation in saying that, were it matter of
choice with me (Which clearly it is not) whe-
ther l shLuld be descended from respeeta-
BILE monkey or from bishop of the English
Church who can put his brains to no better
use than to ridicule science and misrepresent
its cultivstors, would certainly choose the
monkey.

That Girdled Orchard.

The grdling of three hundred apple
and peach trees, for the fifth time, in the
Michigan fruit region near Benton Har-
Dor, has excited considerable indignation
and surprise at the manner in which it
has been done, and unaccountable motive
of the act. The property had passed out
of the possession of Mr.. Green to that of
Mr. Hunter, who had not yet arrived on
the premises, and being a total stranger
there, could not be supposed to have ene-
mics, while its former owner, Mr.. Green,
is unaware of any circumstances that
would point to any perpetrator desirous of
injuring him. What complicates the
fiendish act still more is the fact that it
has always been done at the same time of
the month, during moonlight nights, s,while
vigilant watch has been kept up. The
old girdings, which were very thorough,
had healed nearly over, grating wax
having been applied to them and it is
thought that the weather being favorable,
they will yet be saved by similar appli-
cation of wax, fact which it is we'll for
our horticulturists to know, it being gen.
orally supposed that trees being COM
pletely girdled are sure to die.

Horse Feed.

tt is well known that horses which have
to travel fast do best on oats; while for
heavy, steady hauling there is nothing
like corn for feed. The reason for this
has never been known. But recent in
vestigations made by the French govern
ment have given some clue to it.
The officers in the cavalry service en-
trusted with the examination of the sub
ject, have come to the conclusion that the
bulk of food really has as much to do
with giving horse wind, as the more nu-
tritious part of it. 1t makes no differ
ence about the chemical analysis of the
food. Indeed, it would seem that if q
good portion of it contains articles of no
nutritious value, so much the better.
Now corn contains a very much larger
percentage of nutritious elements, chem
ically speaking, than oats; but the thick
hulls of the oats supply the bulk, which
they believe to be so necessary to the
healthy action of the elements of nutri-
ton.
This theory is further confirmed by
the observations of our own cow-feeders,
who find that corn-meal, when ground up,
cob and all, is just as good for COWS as
when the bulk is made up of pure corn
alone. There is much matter for refec-
tion here.
1t shows that it will not do to go alto
gether by what is called pure chemical
science in our agricultural operations
Indeed, it gives US only very small in
sight into the workings of nature
Chemical laws are derived from an analy-
sis of dead matter, while the laws of life
are evidently of another order We
would not depreciate the real value of
chemical science. We have learned much,
and can learn much more from it. But
chemistry and vitality are essentially dis
tinct things, as we want nothing better
than these new discoveries in the law of
food to show.-Erchamge.

The Way to Harness o Horse.

You may laugh, gentle reader, as hearth
ly as you please, at the idea brought out
in this caption. But how many men,
that are accustomed to use horses from
year to year, can harness one correctly?
Not one in ten True, they may get
harness on the horse, and it may fit aceU;
and it may fit like fathers boots on his
little son eight years of age. There is
more science after all in Harvesting a
horse correctly than we are apt to sup
pose. Let us mention the principal and
important points.
The collar is the first thing of i'm
portance. That large thing that will ad-
init mans arm between it and the neck
of the horse to work in. The collar
should fit as neatly and closely to the
neck as pair of boots that fit WE'LL
Then if it is soft and supple, as it should
be, it will seldom gall the skin, if the
names are properly made and correctly
adjusted
The names should fit the collar well,
and should not be too far apart at the top,
as they often are. The staples which hold
the side straps and traces, are almost al
ways attached too far up from the low
er ends. A horse cannot draw vel, when
the traces are attached near the top of
his neck. If a horse is apt to gall near
the top of his neck, take out the staples
and put them lower in the names.
If the back bands are just right for
wagon, they will be too short when plow-
ing, and will gall the backs of the team
For this reason, some horses always have
a sore back as soon as they commence
plowing. Let the hip or the "lazy
straps" be adjusted the proper length,
lest they gall the rumps if too short, and
lift the plow out when it should run in
s. b. r..
