How Did Art Begin I'm Greeceq

How often must the student of fine
art wish he had the same sort of knowl-
edge about its earlier growth in Greece
he actually possesses in the case of the
Italian. Given any development at
all in these matters, there must have
been phases of art which, if immature,
were also veritable expressions of
power, intermediate discoveries of
beauty, such as are by no means a
mere anticipation of service only as
explaining historically larger subse-
queut achievements, but of permanent
attractiveness in themselves, being
often, indeed, the true maturity of GER
tain amiable artistic qualities. And
in regard to Greek art at its best, the
Parthenon, no less than to medieval
art at its best, the Sistine chapel, the
more instructive light would be de-
rived rather from what precedes than
what follows its central success, from
the determination to apprehend the
fulfillment of past adventures rather
than the eve of d0cline in this critical
moment, which partaEes of both.
OF such early promise, early achieve
ment, we have in the case of Greek
art little to compare with what is eX-
tant of the youth of the arts in Italy I;
while Overbeck's careful gleanings of
its history form indeed sorry relic
as compared with the limitations of
Vasari regarding the Renaissance.
Fired by certain fragments of its
earlier days, of beauty, in truth, alb
solutc, and vainly longing for more,
the student of Greek sculpture in
dulges an ideal of youthful energy
therein, yet withal of youthful self
restraint, and again, as with survivals
of old religion, its privileged home,
he fancies, must have been in those
venerable Attic townships, as to a
large extent it passed away with them.

The Course of Storms.

According to The Chicago Inter.
Ocean, Benjamin Franklin was the
first to discover that storms in this
country travel from west to east. He
was interested in observing all eclipse,
and found that while the observations
were spoiled in Philadelphia by rain
storm that came on just at the begin
ming of the eclipse, the sky was clear
at Boston until after the eclipse was
over. By communicating with inter
vening towns, he learned that the
storm travelled eastward at uniform
rate. Simultaneous observations taken
in all parts of the country show that
nearly all great storms follow the
same general direction-from the west
to the east. The Same is true of hot
or cold waves. Therefore, to tell what
the weather will be in advance, we
have only to find out the conditions
prevailing west of us. This is practi-
cally the course pursued by the signal

Brave Surgeons.

The coolest courage in time OF war
is not always shown by the officer or
soldier. The surgeon ana ambulance
nurse carry on their work of saving
life as undismayed in the midst OF shot
and shell as the men whose work it is
To take il.
An anecdote is often told by the sea-
faring folk who live on the shores of
Buzzard's bay of certain DR.. Ebenezer
Swift, who went from among them to
serve in the Mexican war. He was
surgeon in Gen. Kearney's division un
der Gen. Scott through all the battles
of the campaign.
During the battle OF Moline del Rev,
he was SO busily occupied with the
wounded that he did not perceive
that the American lines had fallen
back, and that he was left exposed to
Il raking fire from the enemy.
Gen. Worth, passing, ordered him
sharply to fall back, adding:
You are drawing the fire from Cha
pultepec"
The busy doctor glanced up at the
clouds of smoke and dust. and an
swered, absently:
In moment, sir. After another
amputation."
a similar story is told of three
American surgeons who volunteered
their services to the Russian army dur
ing the war of the Crimea. They soon
were disguised with the poverty and
the savage butcheries on both sides;
but in every battle they were in the
thiclSest of the fight, dragging out the
wounded and aiding them, although
they were repeatedly warned to fall
back to the surgeons tents in the
rear.
During the finaiNaefe before Sebas-
topol, Russian officers were incensed
at seeing these young fellows busy
at their work in the most exposed part
of the field. An orderly was sent to
them with an angry message. He
galloped up, and, with a volley of
oaths, demanded as from the COM
handing, officer what they were
there for!"
One Of them, covered with blood,
looked up with smile.

civilization in the midst of this brutal

S;r. Blacks Adventure.
9. II. Black, q we'll dressed young
man, was trying TO secure subscrip-
tons to watch club in the Eel Dorado
street tannery. He approached one of
the wortmen who was scraping the
hair from hides. Tho workman
scraped away vigorously, and hair
and lime were scattered on every side.
Black lodged about, so that his immac-
ulate attire should not be soiled. The
workman seized hose and turned q
stream of water on the hide to wash
away the loose hair. The water splash
ell in the direction Of Black, who MIN
bly, jumped back to avoid it. He had
failed to obey that old proverb Look
before you leap" and he went souse
into q vat of tanning liquor. His
heels flow up from under him and he
sat down up to his neck in the dark
brown liquor, which splashed all over
his head and face.
AS soon as the workmen could stop
laughing sufficiently to act they pull
cd him out of his unpleasant bath, and
no stood dripping on the walk looking
like some beer god just after u bath in
the liquor loved and protected by
Gambrinus. The hose which had orig
inally caused all the trouble was
now brought into play to repair dam
ages Black was made target for
stream until as much as possible of
the tanning liquor had been washed
from his garments as well as from his
face and hands. He was taken TO his
hotel and put to bed while his only
suit of clothes was being washed,
dried and pressed.
Before ll this could be accomplished,
however, his skin had been subjected
to the action of the strong tanin, and
despite the use of every known means
to neutralize it, his skin will for some
time be several shades darker then it
was before his involuntary bath. He
will have the comfort, though, of
knowing that twill match well with

who to his sorrow notices that his farm land
Is getting poor and his crops each year get
ting less, and his work becoming harder
even to get these light crops, pause and con-
slider why perhaps the adjoining farm has
been at the same time improving, and is
yielding larger and better crops than it did
few years ago? No. Wen, there is sim
ply this difference: One farmer has "rln"
his farm with an aim to keep up the fer
tility of the soil, the other simply to get all
he could out of the soil; in short, one farm
is run up, the other run down. Take farm

rich and producing fue crops, and let it be
rented year after year. either on shares or
in any other way, and it is only matter
of few years before the land will not pro-
duce half as much. The reason is easily
seen. The tenant is not interested in main
tanning the fertility Of the soil-his princi-
pal aim is to get all he can from it, and if
he does not truly ride free horse to death,
it will only be because his lease was not

Look to the Calves.

The Mdine Farmer thinks that calves
should be kept growing without Interrupt
| ton from the time they are taken from the
COW till they arrive to an age of usefulness.
1t is easy enough securing this continuous
thrift when the owner gives proper atten-
tion. But there is much bad management
with calves at this season of the year. If
confined to the pasture where they have run
during the summer, without additional food
they are sure to grow thin in flesh and lose
ground when they ought to be growing
right along. On the other hand, if turned
into run of extremely fresh grass they
are quite liable to scour. and many times
this difficulty will follow SO long as the
grass lasts Later on they are left out ex-
posed to the cold storms and frosty nights
of late autumn and compelled to live as
best they are able on only frosted grass. As
a result of all this they come to winter
quarters reduced in condition aud actually
less in weight than at time two or three
months previous.

satisfactory results from feed of good hay

rapid growth can be made by adding wheat

any rate, they should be kept thriftily

How Many Sheep Per Acreq

This question, says the Indiana Farmer,
has been asked US, How many sheep can be
maintained per acre on a farm as a
speciality! We have submitted the question
TO several persons having some experience
in keeping sheep. Those who have an
swered have agreed generally that large
breeds require more food to maintain them
In good condition than the smaller or
Merino breed, which weigh only about 100
pounds. Two reply that light, average
sized sheep require about the same amount
to keep them that one COW does Another
says that he has found that with large
Shropshire grades that will average eight to
nine pounds of wool per fleece, and weigh
ing $50 to $50 pounds each, are as seven to
eight to one cow in the food to keep them.
Now it is estimated that the product of two
acres Of what we call good land in Indiana
will keep one cow under the pasturage and
dry feed methods of farming. 50 by these
statements it is seen that the product of one
sheep per year. This is on the assumption
that the pasture season is fair average
one. With these facts one may readily
estimate the profitableness of sheep farm
ing on our fairly good lands. Considering
that focks of large breeds may and 90
average seven pounds to the fleece and that
about 80 per cent. of the increase is saved
it will be found that there is profit in sheep
husbandry. The value of sheep as fertil-
izers, of course, must be taken into the
count
But a new era has dawned in live stock
farming, and its advantages are as great in
sheep husbandry as in other stock We re-
fer to the slo and ensilage feeding. The
noted dairyman of Wisconsin, Hiram
Smith, says he fully believes that with this
new method of stock farming one acre of
good land may be made to keep a cow. If
it will then the products of one acre may
easily keep seven to eight head of sheep,
for it has been found that ensilage may be
fed to sheep with most excellent results. A
gentleman who has tested the matter says:
''The effect of feeding ensilage to sheep is
very gratifying in the past few years, and
feeding it to ewes is as excellent as feeding
cows with it. They were in splendid cond =
ton at lambing time, and / never saw

my sheep corn ensilage and some hay daily +,

Gov. Wright on Agriculture.

Gov Wright of New York, one among
the greatest statesmen in the DAYS of Clay,
Webster and Calhoun, in an address pre-
pared for the State Agricultural S}ciety,
which met at Saratoga, said: 1.-THE per-
vading character of this great and vital in
terest, however, it's intimate connection
with the wants, comforts and interests of

dant subjects for contemplation upon occa-
sions like this, without attempting to ex-
pIore the depths or to define the principles of
a science so profound and, to the unini-
tiated, so difficult, as is that Of agriculture.
agricultural production is the sub
stratum of the whole superstructure; the
great element which spreads the sail and
lmpels the car Of commerce and moves the
hands and turns the machinery of manufac-
ture. The earth is the common mother of
all, in whatever employment engaged, and

treasures of its mines are the material upon
which the labor of the agriculturist, the
merchant and the manufacturer are alike
bestowed, and are the prize for which all
alike toll.
1.-THE active stimulus which urges all for
ward, excites industry, awakens ingenuity,
and brings out invention, is the prospect or
hope of market for the productions Of
their labor. The farmer produces to sell;
the merchant purchases to sell; and the
manufacturer fabricates to sell. Self-con-

Maintaining Fertility.

one great reason of this is the ready market

can produce, and the temptation to the
farmer to dispose of hay, grain, straw aud
