ITO the Manor Born. "

&C. II. W" writing in the Mis-
souri, Ruralist, published at Kan
sas City, a few days ago used the
following paragraph, which will
interest every Audrain county
stockman:
Examples Of the old saying
that IAN artist is born, not
made" are to be found in album
dance among men in Missouri
who are identified with the live
stock and agricultural interests
In this instance the saying applies
to breeders of purebred or pedi-
greed livestock. One doesn't have
to be over observant to note that
a great big per cent of the sue
cessful breeders are born, not
made. Of course a knowledge of
the breeding business may be ac-
quired, but one must have the
love Of the profession in his heart.
1t is an inherent quality that
makes for the most successful of
our breeders. An example of tins
was called to mind the other day
in visiting the herd of A. c.
BrOckman of Centralia, Mo. Mr..
Brockman realized the necessity
of handling purebred stock in
connection with his farming op-
erations and selected the Duroc-
Jerseys. No one has heard HIM
express any regrets about select
ing the wrong breed, though he
would have been as successful in
producing a highly improved
type of any breed. He had no
! special training along the lines of
improved breeding, but he has
been producing a type of hogs
that have done much to improve
the stock of his community and
gradually each year the demand
for his stock spread until today
he has calls from a wide range OF
territory. He just naturally knew
good animal, had a good type II
his mind and set about to produce
II. As a result of careful select
ing and mating he has a herd o.
sows that are uniformity, prolif
cacy and breeding worth are sci
/ dom eXcelled. 1t wasn't a ques
ton of any special line of breed
ing, though of course he was care
full in selecting his foundation
stock from reputable breeders
and of popular strains. But i
goes to show that the qualities o
patience, perseverance, a natura
g, eye for good stock, a love of tn,
business and a desire to improv,
his own stock and that of his com
: munity with the commercial sid,
of it a second consideration, ha
been rewarded by a demand To-
his product that is making hin
big money and giving him
whole lot of satisfaction owe
what the Spectator or the maj
S who has acquired but superfcla
l knowledge of this business cal
possibly get.

ART AT HARDIN.
The Displays and Some of the
Past Years Work.

The Fortieth Annual Art re-
ception at Hardin College, May
%, 1913, occupied the attention
of Hardin friends, both afternoon
and evening. The work OF the
four Seniors, Misses Ruth Early
of Centralia, Buehler Rhodes of
Greenville, Mo, and Ruth Hoxsey
and lola Beal of Mexico, was ex-
cellent and the young ladies lis
tened to many expressions of ap.
probation.
In the back studio were some
splendid sketches of the Hardin
campus, illustrating the ability in
outdoor sketching of Nellie Lee,
Verge Bledsoe, Miriam johnson,
Edna McMurtry, lola Beal and
Eyelina Myers, all Mexico girls.
These girls with Regina Linhard
and Edward Million had some
hne drawings from casts. Lucille
Beagles water color, stormy
Coast, " Nellie Lee S fruit in scpia
and Sketch of Relies, Mary

landscapes, Olive Haislett's

and consisted of pieces by Denny
Best, Edith Fain, Helen Barton,
lmogene Norton, May Wilson,
/ Lutte Vaughan. Leonora Crow,
Vera Strickland, Buehler Rhodes,
Jessie Wright, Edna Klein, and
the well known Mexico girls,
Irene Rhoden, Marie Rose, Mary
Rowe, Dorothy Holmes, Eliza
beth Sumner and Mrs. T. j.
Weinard.
The graduates in china, Ruth
Early and Ruth Hoxsey, had
many artistic pieces. Miss
Early's large vase with naturalis-
tic roses was beautifully done,
while Miss Hoxsey's chocolate set
and her japanese vase, Sada
Sans" showed to advantage her
delicate handling. Many Of Miss
Hoxsey's designs were original
Miss Dorothy Holmes, the First
Assistant in Art, had on display
many dainty pieces of china. Miss
Holmes also assisted Mrs. Smith
IN decorating her handsome
breakfast set The tapestry
painting. ,Chautauqua Beeches, /"
shows Miss Holmes ability in
foliage, perspective and color
harmony.
Mrs. Smith showed several Of
her own compositions in oil and
water color as well as her prize
salad set of intricate conventional
design.
There were two graduates in
Regular Art, lola Beal of Mex
leo, and Beuhler Rhodes of Green
vile, Mo, who was the second as
sistant. A large part Of the front
and back parlors was devoted to
their exhibit which consisted of
studies from life and nature. Miss
Rhodes Roses and Crysanthe-
NUNS, her Redwood Forest.
her Indian, and her tapestry.
David and Abishay, won
scores of compliments. lola
Beal's three compositions in life,
her crysanthemums, Indian and
tapestry, Puzzled, as well as
her cast study in sepia, "Wag-
ner,' elected much favorable
comment. Miss Beal's tapestry

Science Has Rudeiy Shattered Poetic

For many centuries. even until COM

common belief that pearls were drops
OF dew that gained entrance into the
shell OF an oyster, and were there
transpired into lustrous gems. Arab
and Indian divers still believe that at
certain seasons oysters come to the
surface and suck in the rain-drops
that later become pearls Science.
however, has rudely shattered this
poetic fancy, and discovered the real
origin to be worm. DIR. Hugh NJ.
Smith gives some interesting infor-
nation on this subject in the National
Geographic Magazine.

The true Interpretation was re-

way. had. at her guardians wish, been

what he chose to regard as her un-
