They lost no time digging away the
40 feet of accumulated soil that cov'
cred the treasure, and strangely
enough, the water system itself was
found to be in good running order. 1t

Woman,s Tears Made the Well.
This is What Pausanias has to say
about the fountain when he wrote
his guide book to the principal cities
OF Greece:
And next to It "a brazen statue Of
Hercules) is the approach to the we'll
of Pirene. They say that Pirene be-
came a we'll from a woman through
the tears she shed bewailing tho
death of her son Cenchrias at the
hands Of Artemis. And the we'll ia
beautiful with white stone. and there
are cells like caves to match. from
which the water flows into the part Of
the we'll which is in the open air, and
It has a sweet taste. and they say that
Corinthian brass when kissing hot is
dipped into this water"

Although we expect to finish our
work in two or three more cam
paigns," said DR.. Hill, do not suppose
that we will then have uncovered al!
of the city Of Corinth. We will have
excavated only the center Of the city,
the market place. 1t is possible that
what is left buried may contain some
fine villas that once stood in the out.
skirts Of the town.
"Corinth is buried 30 or 40 feet
deep. The one ancient building which
survived the dust of years is the TEN.
pie Of Apollo. which for a long time
was called the Temple of Minerva.
This was on a hill. and served to give
US a starting point for our operations,
We had no maps Of the old city. What.
ever there was in this respect was
so unreliable that We chose 10 fol.
low the directions given In the book
Of Pausanias.
"In the course Of our excavation wO
came across an interesting subterran-
can tunnel that led from one OF the
streets to the inner shrine OF a tenn
pie, wherein an oracle was supposed
to dwell. People were supposed to
enter the temple by the main entrance
and seek advice: sometimes they
slept in the temple. and the oracle ad.
yised them in their sleep-in much
the same fashion as mental suggestion
is practiced nowadays.
THE secret tunnel led from a Sc
cret stone panel in the wall on the
street under the temple to the inner
shrine. II Is to be presumed that
the man who impersonated the oracle
used TO make his way into the temple
unseen by means Of this secret pas
sage.

" Athens, has been in charge OF
the American excavations In
the buried city of Corinth for the last
five years. has sailed for Greece to
resume the work Of digging. 1t has
been going on for the last 16 years.
In two or three more campaigns,
as DR.. Hill calls them, he and his fell
low archaeologists expect to have laid
bare all of the market place and the
principal buildings surrounding It, An
attack OF typhoid, contracted while
he was at work in the ruins, made It
necessary for him to return to this
country a short time ago, but he has
no intention Of giving up the task I'M
til the last spadeful OF earth has been
turned.
ut is our desire that Corinth shall
stand as Americas contribution to the
memory of ancient Greece" he said,
according to the New York Evening
Post, "just as Delphi is monument
to France and Olympia to Germany.
Both Delphi and Olympia were uncov'
cred in the comparatively short period
of five or six years, because the
French and German governments con-
tributed the money. With Corinth 1t
ia different. The United States gov
eminent has not given cent for the
work we have done; It has all been
by individual contribution from year
to year. In all the 16 years we have
never had more than $4,000 to carry
on a single campaign"
Diu UP the Front Yards.
Both Delphi and Olympia were more
important works, according TO Mr.
Hill. but those cities were by nc
means harder to excavate than Cor
NTH. The French government con
tracted to move the whole village
that had grown up on the land that
covered Delphi to some nearby spot
hut in Corinth each householder has
to be approached for permission to
dig in his front yard. If he refuses
II is necessary to get the Greek gov
eminent to conflscate his land before
the digging can begin.
However, there was one thing tC
help the American scientists get theiI
bearings. They had an ancient Baed
eker TO guide them to the chief OBJ
iects of interest In Corinth. 1t was
the book written by Pausanias In the
year 100 A. D.. better guide to an

Every farmer needs . sl@

Are the cattle well housed and fodI
Keep the sheep healthy and Wig
orous.
Feed for egg production should DO
rich in protein.
You cannot get heavy egg laying
without heavy feeding.
To improve the dairy herd, keep the
best, and sell the rest.
Glover should be young to make
pigs thrive at top notch.
Judge not a hen by her beauty, but
by the way she does her duty.
Trap nests eliminate drones with
accuracy from any flock of hens.
Food plays an important part in the
growth and development Of the colt.
Many young boars are ruined by be-
ing allowed to run in lots near the
sows.
II you intend sowing clover or alfal-
ia this spring get your seed right
away.
l. Clover is the greatest pasture for
hogs-provided 1t is not allowed to
mature.
The successful feeding Of poultry
is among the most difficult Of feeding
problems.
Most farmers have learned before
this that 1t is expensive to haul green
corn fodder.
Rape seed is cheap, 1t terminates
strongly and furnishes plenty of pala-
table forage.
II a hog seems to be ailing, separate
It from the herd at once and give
watchful care.
One advantage in feeding steers on
the farm is the maintenance Of the
soil fertility.
Deal gently with the COW OF nervous
Temperament. She usually is one OF
the best in your herd.
II you get an incubator, assign the
running of 1t to one person, and let
him have sole charge.
A chill brought on by the udder
coming in contact with frosty ground
is apt to ruin your best COW.
Clean, dry bedding spread about
thickly will make cold, hard floors
more endurable these cold nights.
Sunflowers are just the thing to
raise next season for the fowls but
don't grow them for the sparrows.
The good dairy COW usually is wide
in the forehead, the face dished be-
tween the eyes with strong under
Jaw.
Never salt the horses feed in the
box. Place big lump where he can
reach 1t, and he will take 1t when he
needs It.
The three essentials for success
full dairy COW are vigor, capacity for
food and well.developed organs for
milk production.
Goslings will thrive If fed on grass
alone, but will not make such rapid
growth, of course, as when they are
! given q little grain.
The cow must have a good breath
ing apparatus, indicated by a large
nostril, wide breast and good width
across the floor of the chest.
Never jump from the wagon when
the horse is running away. More
lives and limbs are lost in that way
than By remaining in the wagon.
Until We raise all the hay We need
for our stock, and have all the stock
and all the manure we need, 1t will
pay US to save the whole of the corn
crop.
Feeding cattle gives not only a
. nroft on the feed produced on the
, farm, but it supplies the farm with
manure which is greatly desired in
progressive farming.
Calves should not be turned out to
pasture unless they have had a little
} green feed before, as 1t is liable to
cause scours. Give all the fresh, clean
water the calf will drink.
