On the making Of thrifty and healthy
pigs the S9iae Breeders Journal says
'Pure air helps to make pure blood
which. in course of nature, builds vi
healthful bodies. Our of.door pigs would
not show SO well at the fairs, and would
probably be passed over by the judges
and people who have been taught to ad
mlre only fat and helpless things. which
get tue prizes. Such pigs are well adapt

of perfection should be a pig W ich will

and carry with 1T the evidence of health
and natural development in all Of its parts.
Pigs which run on range Of pasture have
good appetites fresh air and exercise

fruits. roots, pumkins and all kinds OF
vegetables, which will make them grow.
BY extending the root patch, and planting
the fodder corn thinner, so that nubbins
will grow on it, by putting in sweet va
riety, the number Of pigs may be increased
in proportion. The pig pasture will be

times the advantages accrue to the farmer
than il pigs are confined TO close pens, for
as pigs are usually managed on farm.

five pints per day. and what water they

pounds more than before the trial at

The Old Greek Goldsmith.

70. T. Newton in the National Review.l
The skill in beating out and inlaying gold
and other metals to which Homer so often
alludes is attested by the remains found in
the tombs at Mycen@, of which perhaps the
most Homeric are the desi GINS on the soab-
bsrds of swords, which at the time when DIR.
Schliemann's book appeared were too much
incrusted with rust to be made out, but
which have been recently engraved and de-
scribed by Mr.. Koumanoudes. The subjects
represented on these scabbards are a lion
hunt, hon attacking herd of deer, winged
monsters, fish and plants. The names of the
lions are of red gold their bodies of paIer
gold, probably electrum. So with the flow
ers-the stalk, leaves and branches are of
gold, the calyxes of electrum. The same
distinction of color is observed between the
sea and the fish swimming in it, and also in
representing the birds-in which the color of
the blood flowing from their wounds is dis
GRIMM ted from the color of their feathers.
Further variety is obtained by the use of en-
amel in portions of the background. In the
description of the blowing on the shield of
Achilles, the poet says that the furrow be-
hind the plowman was black, as plowed land
is, although being of gold. Probably to
produce a change of color, a dark enamel
such as that found in the scabbards was
combined with the gold. Homer, therefore,
so far from inventing the shield of Achilles
out of his imagination, as was formerly con-
tended, derived many details both of subject
and technical execution from works of art
which he had actually seen, and which in
spired him with the conception of what
work by the god Heph@stos himself might
have been. So, again, in regard to the choice
of subjects on these scabbards, and through
out the Mycenaan antiquities, they prove
that when Hesiod describes the crown of
Pandora as ornamented with ssall manner of
creatures such as the sea and the land breed
he borrowed these ornaments from the art of
his own time
