BUILDING THAT IS HISTORIC
italian villa Designed by Celebrated
Architect and Occupied by Cele-
brated People.

At the foot of Monte Morello, two
miles beyond Careggi, near Florence,
stood country house closely connect
ed with younger branch of the
Medici. This was the beautiful villa
of CASTILLO, built, says Vasari. with
rare skill by Cosmos nephew, Pier
Francesca"
In front of the house was wide
lawn with tanks of water divided by
clipped hedges and long avenues OF
mulberry trees leading down to the
Arno, while behind the gardens were
laid out in terraces, adorned with
statues and fountains, against the
steep hillside.
CASTILLO was the scene of many bril-
liant festivities in the days of Pier
Francesco's son Lorenzo, the intimate
friend Of Poliziano and patron Of Bot
ticelli.
For him Sandro painted those
great pictures of "Primavera" and the
Birth of Venus" in which the hui
manists' love of old myths and delight
in the joyous Maytime alike find ex-
preston, and which in Vasari's time
still hung on the villa walls.
1t was to CASTILLO that Caterina
Sforza, the heroic madonna of Forli,
came to end her days after her cruel
captivity in Rome, while her little son.
afterward the great captain, Giovanni
dele Bande Mere, was kept in hiding
and brought up in girls clothes by
the good nuns of Annalena

Meat Communion increasing.

A careful analysis of world conditions shows
that meat consumption Is rapidly increasing.
In the first place, the meat ration of the vast
armies now contending in Europe is a big ele-
ment and, what is more significant II is edu-
eating millions of men In the meat-eating habit
who previously ate sparingly of It, II at all 1t
Is readily conceived that these habits formed
will not be cast aside when the war is over. and
from this source alone, II is computed, there
will come a permanent increase in the demands
for meat food. Statistics also show that people
formerly vegetarians. like the Japanese, are
year by year consuming more meat. When to
these elements are added the increase in popu-
iation II can readily be the demand for
meat in the future will be greatly augmented
Confronted by these facts, students of
ECONOMY naturally look to see from whence this
increased demand is to be met, and the United
States can and should be one OF the important
factors In solving the problem, FOX II means
Profit TO us South America, Australia, Mon
gola and Siberia are the only other fields to
which the world can look for its supply aud
upon them must fall the burden OF supplying
much OF the demand. In this connection the
number OF cattle in some of the little known
fields is interesting. Russia In Europe has
SO, 900 900 head but It's own population is so
great that the exportable surplus is not large,
though production can be greatly increased.
Siberia is credited with is, 900 900 head and
negligible home demand while Mongolia has
Is. 900, 600 head and small home consumption.
These fields. like those OF South America. are
capable of producing much larger numbers than
at present, but for all that a world survey is
convincing that with the increase In meat con-
sumption in sight there is no probability OF
| production that will ever make meat as cheap
as Il has been in times past.

Youth 10 the Front,

The records made by many OF the boys ia
the corn-growtng contests In Nebraska and
other states are object lesson FOR their elders
which should not go unheedcd. Not only have
these youths produced yields which make thelt
elders sit up and take notice. but one feature
not mentioned in the reports would add greatly
to the educational value OF the achievement n
given currency. and that is, how do these yields
compare with the amount raised per acre by
their elders the same farm, under the same
natural conditions and with the same oppor
unity?
That the boys and girls have put more effort
into their cultivation than bestowed on the re-
mainder OF the crops the farm is doubtless
true. but II is also doubtless true they have pro-
duced from 25 20 80 per cent better results. and
a careful comparison would afford intelligent
method Of reaching a conclusion whether inten-
Give farming Is profitable. Do not jump at
conclusions, but compute the interest charge
against the land in each instance, the amount
Of labor expended and its value, and other
legitimate expenses OF crop production, and see
who wins. Such analysis is Of far more
value than a simple demonstration Of the actual
amount OF corn that can be raised on an acre Of
ground and II is altogether likely the boy can
show his father something in the way OF prac-
teal farm results.

Woman in the Orient.

OF the coronation OF the emperor of Japan is

away from oriental traditions regarding woman,
traditions and prejUdices so deep seated
taat no appreciable impression has been made

women in Japan occupy any such relation, even
now, to social and industrial life as in the
