Centuries before "the art preserva-
tive" was known in Europe the Chi
nese had practiced printing and had
produced illustrations by engraved
blocks. From the Chinese the Jap
anese learned to print, and engrav-
lngs dating from the thirteenth cen
fury have been found.
typography was first employed in
the service of religion for reproducing
texts and images of the Buddha. This
was followed by the production of pub
LEGATIONS such as romances and novels,
in which the Illustrations were about
on a par with those in old-time chat
books. There were followed by sim
gle-sheet prints and by that l&ge
class of productions which emanated
from the theater as advertisements.
Chroma-Xylograpny originated in
Japan at the commencement of the
eighteenth century with single sheets
printed from three blocks, black, pale
green or blue, and pale pink. A fourth
block was added in 1920, and two 9th.
ers were added about forty years later
The art was brought to perfection
between 1765 and 1885 in the single
sheet pictures, Tori Kyonaga," "Su-
zuki Haruhobu" and "Katsugawa Shun
sho."

SELECTING THE PULLETS.

AS your young stock grows. select
from all the broods the very finest,
strongest and most vigorous pullets
to keep for winter layers. Size,
strength and vigor have so much to
do with egg production that one should
study this continually in the flock and
train the eye to see the best egg pro-
ducers while yet undeveloped. Save
ali such for your own use never part
with them unless you have more than
you need. After they are selected
keep them we'll under your own eye
and select from all these the very best
egg producers to lay the eggs from
which will grow your future stock,
and gradually in this way you will
gain in egg production. The best
hens are the ones that lay the largest
number of eggs that are of fair size
good form and finely finished. Such
eggs sell the best, usually produce the
best and have the best value IN the
market

Chinese First TO Print

The technique of Japanese engrav-
ing and printing is thus described:
The picture, drawn for the engraver
on thin, transparent paper of partic-
ular kind, is pasted face downward
upon block of wood, usually cherry,
and the superfuous thickness of paper
is removed by a process Of scraping
until the design is clearly visible.
The borders of the outline are then
incised-very lightly in the more deli
cate parts-with a kind Of knife and
the interspaces between the lines of
the drawing are finally excavated by
means of tools of various shapes.
The ink is then applied with brush
and the printing is effected by hand
pressure, assisted by kind Of pad,
to which procedure may be attributed
much of the beauty of the result. Ger
tain graduations of tone and even
polychromatic effects may be pro-
duced from single block by suitable
application of ink or color upon the
wood, and on carefully examining
these prints it is often apparent that
a great deal of artistic feeling has
been exercised in the execution of the
picture after the designer and engrav-
er had finished their portion of the
work.

Jimmy at Sunday School

Some one induced Jimmy to go to
Sunday school. 1t was the first time
he had been there. He was i'll at ease
at first and cast anxious glance at
the door Once he suggested to his
nearest neighbor that they make a
sneak"
The teacher observed that Jimmy
needed attention, and she did the best
she could to win his good will. In
the simplest of language she told
tbe. etory of the creation of the world.
Her narration was so plain and her
manner so earnest that the street
Arab could not help but be impressed,
although he tried to appear indiffer-
ent.
Had she stopped there all might
have been well, but she thought she
would make sure of her conquest by
addressing herself to Jimmy direct.
do you understand, james," she
inquired.
shes talking to you," said Jimmy's
companion, nudging him when he
noticed that Jimmy didn't recognize
the strange name of James.
"Huh?" said Jimmy inquiringly of
the teacher.
DO you understand the lesson?"

A breeze blows in at the. window here,
with the music of wind-swept leaves:

The glimpse of long, long lane that
turns and winds among the trees;
The scent of clover and mint ana thyme
and the buzz of humblebees;

with the sickles' harvest tune,
The ripple and splash of a rock-bound
stream and the light OF a harvest
moon
That filters away through the leaves and
boughs in a yellow filigree;
A breeze blows i'm at the window here
that is fraught with memory.
Here Is the tower of n granite pile and
here Is an endless wall

din, and the rattle of wheels on

But the breeze blows i'm ut the window

blown;
with the tinkle far of a schoolhouse bell
and the cry of lads at play,
The murmuring chant OF the forest deep
and the fields that stretch away
To the rising hills. where the moon Is
hid, till the yellow flames arise
AS the rays of night-lamp swung for
us through the arch of star-gemmed

THE FARMER AND THE FAIR.

II is during the months OF August
and September that most of our state
and county fairs will be held, and 1t
is every farmers duty to attend the
state fair If possible, and If not. his
county fair; and to take part In max
ing II one OF the best.
We look upon these annual gather
ings as educational. Here the farm
er can meet his brother farmer, the
one who has made a greater success
in the growing of crops, breeding OF
stock and handling machinery, and
gain much practical knowledge that
he needs. You always find the wide
awake, progressive farmer at these
gatherings, and you owe it to your
self, as well as your family, to take
an outing. So attend the fair this
fall, and if possible go prepared to
stay several days. Do not just rush
off on the train and spend few
hours; take a tent and let your fam
lily have some recreation, and you will
have time for gaining the information
that you need, as it will take sever
al days to go through the different
departments.
The Iowa state fair will be during
this month, and will give splendid
opportunity for those living in this
state to attend one of the most pro
gressive and up-to-date state fairs in
the country.

the teacher asked in her sweetest
manner.
"Yeh," replied Jimmy.
THAT is good, said the teacher APP
provingly. Now, remember God made
the people of the world. He made all
the animals, all the trees, all the flow
ers, everything!"
Somewhere near Jimmy's hair roots
an idea began to work. This took
form soon in look in Jimmy's eyes
that the teacher, who was a student
OF children, was quick to interpret.
What is it, james," she asked.
Jimmy SHE'D once more at James,"
but managed to give utterance to the
question that was bothering him.
Did he make der river?" he asked.
YES" said the teacher, God made
the river"
Jimmy looked puzzled. Then he said:
did God make JeffSies?"
The teacher was inclined to be
shocked, but she answered Eyes"
Then Jimmy looked up into the
teachers face with smile that was
radiant with pleasure.

THE FARMER CHEMIST.

The American farmer is learning TO
apply the knowledge that science has
been gathering for his benefit. He
knows already that corn OF different
kinds is wanted by stock-breeders and
starch-makers, and he is breeding the
grain accordingly. The stock-growers
desire maize that is rich in protein,
which is the stuff that goes to pro-
duce muscle and blood; the manu-
facturers of starch require all OF that
substance the corn can furnish and
there is special demand for corn
that is rich in oil.
The farmer has been taught to find
out, by merely cutting grain OF corn
into pieces with knife, just about
what percentages it contains OF oil.
of starch and muscle-forming stuff
He knows that nearly all OF the oil
is in the germ" and the protein
is mainly in the horny coat OF the
seed, and that the interior OF the
grain. apart from the germ, is packed
with starch. A grain of corn, in fact.
Is little box of starch inclosed in
"a 0OTuy CASE. IL lHc thlShhOoo Va viz
case is increased the amount OF
starch it contains is diminished, or
vice versa.
Understanding these facts, it is
easy enough for the farmer to select
suitable seed for the kind OF corn
crop he wishes to produce. By taking
note of the size of the germ, he can
pick out high-oil or low-oil corn. Low
oil corn is much desired as feed for
bacon hogs, inasmuch as ordinary
maize contains too much oil for the
production of the hard firm bacon
which commands the best price in the
market. The hominy mills, also, de-
sire lowell corn, because the corn oil
tends to become rancid and to injure
the salable quality of their output.

DAIRY CALVES.

When raising calves for the dairy
it is not necessary that they should
be fed whole milk for more than a
week or ten days. They, however,
should always get the first milk
tcolostrom) Of the dam, as this is
necessary for starting the bowels and
the digestive functions. Gradually
reduce the milk by adding skim milk,
so as to leave off the whole milk en-
ti,ely and substitute skim milk when
the calf is three or four weeks old;
by this time they will begin nibbling
second crop clover hay, supplemented
with q little oats or bran. Flax seed
Jelly may be added to the skim milk,
commencing with a tablespoonful at
first. Remember that more calves are
killed by overlooking than all other
causes. Feed regularly three times
daily until the calves are four to six
weeks old. Always feed milk at blood
heat.

THE VALUE OF TREES.

In many parts of our country farm
ing would be impossible but for the
trees, such is their influence upon the
streams. They regulate the water
supply, and their tendency is to pre-
vent both floods and drought; they
supply fuel, one of the greatest neces-
stiles of life, and furnish the lumber
for the building of our cities, rail-
roads, ships and thousand other
things, without which our present
state of civilization would not have
been possible for ages If at all. This
is why we should be careful OF our
forests which are fast dwindling away
in many sections. This is why we
should legislate against safeguarding
in the forests, and against all other
PRACTICES which tend to cause forest
fires, and why we should try to pro-
tect our trees from their natural en-
cmies, such as landslides, floods, in
sects and fungi And it is we'll TO
bear in mind the fact that We carnot
replace in fifty years a tree which we
can destroy in an hour.

The native Japanese, particularly
those who have not come into close
contact with modern civilization, is
distinguished as much by his natural
courtesy and politeness as by his aver
sion to clothing. The peasants in the
interior are especially noted for their
punctiliousness in saluting one an
other; even rickisha men hurrying
along the road with a passenger will
sometimes stop to greet friend, while
pretty woman receives reverence
indeed. This salutation is not merely
a word or nod, but low bow and a
flourish of that little mushroom hat,
and the greater friends they are the
lower they bow. In saying good-by
two Japs never see each others faces,
both being so busily engaged in bend
Ing their backs. AS soon as one
straightens himself the other bows,
going backward all the while, until
they consider it polite to refrain.
When foreigner passes through q

gather about you, Offering cakes and
tea. all the while chattering like mag
pies. Any little incident that among
Europeans would pass unnoticed Is
quite sufficient to send these merry
folk into fits of laughter.
The rural Japanese as a rule wear
as few clothes as the law allows, and
since in some districts there is no law
on this subject the result is obvioussJ
In fact, the children wear nothing az
all in summer, while the men and wo-
men have but a scant-a very scant-
apology for raiment. The national
garb is, of course, the kimono; but
this is often cast aside in favor or
short Jacket and trousers, or among
the fishermen and the farm laDorers
handkerchief or other small rag.
, This scantiness of clothing, however,
seems so natural that it rarely excites
remark.
All the villages are remarkable for
their cleanliness and neatness, and
except for some of their sanitary ar
rangements, are models of comfort
and simplicity. Agriculture is carried
on with the crudest implements, yet
with a skill and care which have made
garden out of land of barren noun
tains, while some of the workmen
regard to the arts of joinery and weaV-
ing might give valuable hints to our
own people.
A short excursion through this coun-
| try will give one a most pleasant i'm
preston of the land and it's inhabi-
tants, while their quaint courtesy and
persevering industry render them wor-
| thy of considerable respect.
