On the afternoon of June 26th, about fifty of the residents. of our school section assembled at the school house to bid farewell to their teacher, Mr. Moore, who purposes attending the Normal School at Ottawa this fall, lAs soon as all were comfortably seated in the school room, Mr. Lane.‘ secretary and treasurer of the trustee board, briefly explained the object of Itheir meeting together at this hour, land asked the forgiveness of the teach- er for the abrupt interruption which they had made in his work. Then upon motion of Mr. Lane, Mr. Moore rigbg was elected to preside as chairman in while the scholars rendered a very ; delightful program consisting of songs, readings, dialogues, etc. The last i selectiOn on the program was a read- ing by Howard Wickett. It was a : nicely worded address to Mr. Moore, 1 expressing regret at his departure, and , appreciation of his work as a teacher. ‘ Mr. Moore although taken complete- ly by surprise, made a suitable reply, thanking the pupils and parents for their hearty cc-operation during his sojourn among them and expressing his regret that the time had come when he must, in order to better himself as a teacher, leave them. The remaining members of the trustee board then gave addresses, each one . expressing satisfaction at the able and , efficient manner in which the school had been conducted during Mr; Moore’s term of teaching. Then the ‘ ladies who had brought with them an immense store of provisions, loaded the tables With delicacies and all sat down to a sumptuous repast.

Something That Appears to II". Ion Brod Out of Domestic Anhu I. It is admitted by every one that our principal domesticated animals have gained very greatly in brain power owing 'to man’s training and companionship, says a correspondent of the London Live Stock Journal. Of course it is possible to exaggerate the degrees of mental advance made by horses, cattle and dogs, for in- stance. We may make too much of acts performed in obedience to our ‘ orders or under our guidance. In iother words, we may temporarily forget or fail to noiice that unthink- ing repetition of laboriously ac- quired rudiments sometimes bears a very close resemblance to spontan- eous acts of intelligence. ‘A memâ€" ory like that of a horse" has passed into an agricultural proverb. The trainer may forget some of the steps in the process of breaking in, but his dumb pupil does not. That is start- lingly seen when a raw and willing animal emerges out of faulty or pe- culiar hands. - - LEA-;AA CULHZLL .uuuuo. But if our principal domesticated animals have made some ascent to meet the higher intelligence of man they have unquestionably lost the ("me edge of certain faculties. Taking them as a group we may say that sight, hearing and smell are not so keen, taste is developed in new , d‘lâ€" rections and the animals have very largely lost the striving for self pre- servation so characteristic in the fer- al state. Brain power simulating that of man has been gained, the ani- mals have been made specialists in a sense. but the instincts so acute in a state of nature have suffered a form of atrophy owing to Want of exerâ€" cise. It i3 :39 a Ker to say that the sfinting p wers oi the blood- hound, for example, are keér'xEâ€"r tha those of the wolf or fox or that the pointer is quite the match of myâ€" nard in “winding" game. The doâ€" mesticated animals referred to are the result of lopsided development. They are “all nose," so to speak. A‘_A -qr ‘0- It consequently follows that the ex- perienced breeder receives with due caution the advice sometimes freely tendered in connection with feeding and parturition troubles, "Leave the creatures to nature." He knows that the more highly developed and do- mesticated of the creatures have been led a considerable distance away from nature and that it might be risky to let them struggle in the middle course between the feral and the ar- tificial. The degree of assistance to be given must depend upon circum- stances and the temperament of the animal. No two cases are exactly alike. It must also be borne in mind ‘ that an advanced state of domestica- tion has tended to increase the size of fetus " and to render the newly dropped young more helpless than their smaller prototypes in the wild or semiwild state. The digestive or- gans and internal cavity generally of most of our domesticated breeds of Cattle are larger than thOSe of the bison or of the long horned cattle of Spanish origin once so numerous on the American plains, the more comâ€" pact "internals" being needed for raâ€" pid movement in the Open. Putting the general position in broad terms. it may be said that the more farm animals become the servants or the fancy of man the more they lose those characteristic adjustments and self preserving instincts which are the possession of their relatives in the wilds. )‘lr.
