EARNING AN HONEST QUARTER
Great Painter, unrecosnized, Accept
ed Gratuity and Turned Good
Stroke Of Business.

Winslow Homer was a great painter
who had the unusual good fortune to
have his merit appreciated early in
life. But no one ever presumed less
on wide reputation. Alteration was
weakness from which his sense of
humor saved him.
In his biography, lately written by
Mr.. w. Fl. Downs, is printed the story
of New York gentleman of wealth
and artistic tastes who made the jour
ney to Scarboro, Maine, where Homer
has his studio, to make the artists
acquaintance.
On his arrival he found the studio
door locked; the owner was nowhere
to be seen. He wandered about the
cliffs for a while, until he met a man
in rough old suit of clothes, rubber
boots, and a battered felt hat, who
carried fsh-pole. He accosted the
fisherman thus:
Il say my man, If you can tell me
where l can find Winslow Homer,
have a quarter for you"
Where's your Quarter?" said the
fisherman.
He handed it over, and was astound
ed to hear the quizzical Yankee fisher
man say, Il am Winslow Homer"
The sequel of this unusual introduc
ton was that Homer took his new &C
quaintance back to the studio, enter
tanned him, and before he left sold
him a picture.

wherever the water would touch 1t

sores would spread from one place to

at times the whole lower part OF my

MoLAssEs IN THE HOG FEED

NAL husbandry of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college Of Texas says
that with tankage to supplement q
grain ration, cottonseed meal or
wheat bran are not really needed In

He believes. however, hat II would
prove profitable to add limited
quantity of molasses to the ration,
both as an appetizer and to cheaper
the feed, as molasses at Is cents the
gallon is cheaper than grain at pre-
vailing prices. He recommends the fol-
lowing proportions as well-bal-
anced fattening ration: Nine pounds
of ear corn or seven pounds OF shelled
corn, two pounds black strap molasses
and a pound Of tankage.
The grain should be soaked in wa
ter about twelve hours. and the molas-
ses should be diluted with about it's
own volume of water, and the tank-
age thoroughly stirred in and poured
over the grain in the trough at the
time of feeding.
