Profit in keepinE Sheen.

More land can be put to grass for
pasture and hay land, and more
sheep kept on the products of such
land with less labor than when
reaped in the way of grain and fed
to grain consuming animals. The
man who is fitted for the place and
desires to get, along on farm with
little hired help and minimum of
labor can find solution of the prob
lem by keeping a few sheep. Put
the land to grass, fence fer sheep.
Craze a goodly portion of it and
make the rest into hay. Buy little
grain for fattening purposes and
feed out each year the surplus and
the solution will have been solved,

JOKE ON ART EXPERTS,
seulptures of Angelo and Da Viael
Are Termed Down ~ rs 5#.a$>i
Immature. Il

81 Exact reproductions Of some of the
greatest works OF Michael Angelo
and Leonardo Da Vinci have been re-
jected as inartistic and immature by
the municipal art commission, body
made up of number Of the rich
men OF New York city, men who deem
themselves art critics of the first
class.
The commissioners give their scrv-
ices to the city free of charge just
because they want municipal art well
managed. The joke was turned on
them by pair of Tammany archi-
tects, who have a contract for the
erection of the hall of records, now
nearing completion. .
s The architects, Horgan and Stat
terry, were annoyed by what they
deemed persecution and they lay all
their troubles to the reform admin
istration inaugurated by Mayor Low
This contract is holdover since the
previous administration, and they
claim they have been doing their best
ito give satisfaction. =,
h Despite every effort of the archi-
tects to please. plans, drawings.
sculpture and decorations were re-
jected, they claim, because the work
was in the hands of Tammany men
The commission could see no ar: in
most of the work. The best artists
obtainable were secured. but it was
the same tory. Then, when other
artists pronounced the work of a
high class, came the time for the
joke. 49,.
:. Careful copies of some of the gar
goyles and cornice decorations by
Angelo and Da Vinci in St. Peters at
Rome we're secured. The reproduc'
tions were pronounced perfect and
submitted. but they were not artistic
in the eyes of the experts.
