Nature and tho Artist.
.ueusta. Rodin. in the Century

Augusta. ROdin, In the Century.
Sincerity, conScience-these are the
an artist; but whenever the artist at
tains to a certain facility Of express
sion, too often he is Wont to replace
conscience with skill. The reign of skill
is the ruin of art. 1t is an organized
f~alsehood. Sincerity with one fault, in
deed with many faults, still preserves
it's integrity. The facility that believes
that it has no faults has them all. The
primitives, who ignored the laws of
perspective, nevertheless created great
works of art because they brought to
them absolute sincerity. Look at this
Persian miniature, the admirable rev.
erence Of this illumination for the form
Of these plants and animals, and the
attitudes Of these persons which he has
forced himself to render just as he saw
them. How eagerly has he painted
that, this man who loved it all! Do
you tell me that his work is bad be-
cause he is ignorant Of the laws Of
perspective? And the great French
primitives and the Roman architects
and sculptors! Has it not been repeat
eddy said that their style is a barbaric
style? On the contrary, it has a for
midable beauty. 1t breathes the sacred
w of those who have been impressed
by the great works of nature herself. 1t
offers US the strongest proof that these
men had made themselves part OF life
and also a part of it's mystery.
T express life it is NECESSARY to de-
| sire to express it. The art of statuary
Is made up of conscience. precision and
will. If I had not had tenacity of pur-
pose, if l had ceased to make my re-
searches, the book of nature would
have been for me a dead letter, or at
least it would have withheld from me
Its meaning. Now, On the contrary, it
Is a book that is constantly renewed,
and I go to it, knowing well that I have
only spelled out certain pages. In art
to admit only that which one compre-
hends leads to impotence. Nature re-
mains full of unknown forces. When
we surrender ourselves to her without
reservation, she shows us these forces,
she lends them to u.s."

Great American Porcelain.
Hazel II. Adler in the Century.

In 1911 an American woman Ade-
laide A1sop Robineau, sent an exquisite
collection OF high-fire %porcelains to the
international exposition in Turin, italy,
where they were awarded the grand
prize, the highest award that could be
given and against the best modern
porcelain manufactures in the world.
In recognition of her great contribu-
ton to the ceramic art of the world,
both France and Italy awarded her the
highest honors in their power, and yet
her work in this country Is unglorified
and unknown, and some Of the rarest
pieces for which collectors hereafter
will pay fabulous sums have had to be
sacrificed to provide for the bare means
Of sustenance.
In may not be in accordance with
the democratic principles of his coun-
try. to achieve q Sevres, a Gobelin, or q
Dresden, and SO far certainly the ma
tional government has been more inter-
ested in the raising of pigs than in the
making OF porcelains, but it is high
time that our manufacturers awaken to
the economic significance Of the Ameri-
car craftsman and undertake that pub
lie spirited recognition and intelligent
utilization OF his powers which raised
Germany's art products from a posi-
ton OF scorn to the conquest of the
markets of the world.

rack he swept his coat and hat off with
his free hand. and bore them with him,
devoutly hoping that he was not being
watched from the dining room. Could
he possibly get from the telephone out
the front door without being seen?
Hastily he hid the cipher message in an
inner pocket. The napkin he tropped on
the little telephone table, and taking up
the receiver he spoke: Hello! Yes! oh,
good evening"! You don't say SO! How
did that happen?" He made his voice
purposely clear, that it might be heard
IN the dining room If anyone was list

he saw, to his horror, his host lean owe
and lift the cipher paper he had left on
the table and hand it to the guest on his
right.
The messenger at the other end lac

had replied according to the sentences
laid down by the chief in his i~nstruc-

was a matter of a few seconds before
his theft would be discovered. He must
make an instant dash for liberty while
he yet could. Cautiously, stealthily, like
a shadow from the alcove, one eye on
the dining room. he stole to the door

did so he saw his recent host rise ex-
cltedly from his seat and fairly snatch
the paper from the man who held 1t.
HIS last glimpse OF the room where he
mad bue three minutes before been en-
joying the hospitality Of the house was
a vision OF the entire company starting
up and pointing to himself ever as he
slid from sight. There was no longer
need for silence. He had been discov-
cred and must fight for his life. He shut
the door quickly, his nerves so tense
that 1t seemed as If something must
break soon; opened and slammed the
outer door, and was out in the great
Wh1rling city under the flare of electric
lamps with only the chance Of a second
or time before his pursuers would be
upon him.

Art and Happiness.
Auguste Rodin. in the Century

AuguSte Rod1n, In the Century.
Art alone gives happiness. And
[ call art the study of nature, the per
petual communion with her through
the spirit of analysis.
He who knows how to see and feel
may find everywhere and always things
to admire. He who knows how to see
and feel is preserved from ennui, that
bette noire Of modern society. He who
sees and feels deeply never lacks the
desire to expires his feelings, to be an
artist. Is not nature the source Of all
beauty? Is she not the only creator?
1t is only by drawing near to her that
the artist a bring back to US all that
she has revealed to him.
When one says that, the public
thinks it a commonplace. All the world
believes that it knows that; but it
knows 1t only in seeming, the truth
pe~netrates only the superficial shell Of
Its intelligence. There are so many
degrees in real comprehension! Com
prehension is like a divine ladder. Only
he who a reached the top rounds has
q view Of the world. The public is aston
lshed or shocked when some one goes
against its pr~econceiYed notions,
against the prejudices Of a badly in
terpreted or degenerate tradition.
WORDS are nothing; the Iced alone
counts It is not by reading manuals
OF ~esthetics. but by leaning on nature
isrself that the artist discovers and eX-
presses beauty.
Alas! we are not prepared to see
and to feel. Our sorry education, far
from ~cultivating in us the feeling for
enthusiasm. makes US in our youth lit
tie pedants who without result over
whelm ourselves and others with u
p~retensions. Those who too late, by
long efforts, escape this demon of folly
arrive only after that education haa
fatally Slapped their strength and hna
destroyed the flower Of enthusiasm
that God had planted in them as a sign
of His paradise. People without enthu-
siasm are Nike men who carry their
flags pointed down to the ground in.

SPREADING OF ERoor

Ergot is a fungues disease that
attacks rye and such grasses as
bromus, rye grass, red top and a
few others. The fungue when it
attacks kernel causes it to swell
up to several times it's original
size and to turn purple. In the
summer time the ErgOt spreads
by spores that are carried by ia
sects. The fungues secrets a
sWeetish juice which attacks the
insects and thus aid in the distri-
button of the spores.
The ergot is carried over win
ter by the purplish Ergot grains
which grow in the spring. sendi 1g
up little growths half an inch tall
on the ends of which spores are
produced. These are carried to
the flower by the wind. There is
no prevention except not to grow
the same crop on the land infested
with Ergot for two Or three years.
If grain crop follows the rye,
any volunteer rye should be cut he
fore it blossoms to keep it from
growing ergUt to reseed the land.

Pullets Matched in April and

are the winter layers and by
spring are i'm fine condition 70:
breeding. There is more profit in
the eggs from pullets than there
is in breading them. as under
year of age, there is not much
stamina to impart to the young.
The pullet must not be Matched
too early. March Matched pull
let's are likely to mott in the fall
with the old hens. and then they
seldom began laying before the
hen does. This time is usually
some time in January. The fall
laying pllets come into profit just
about the time the old hens arc
melting. an thus prevent a short
age of eggs.

LABOR REQUIRED IN
PRODUCING OATS

In investigator i'm Minnesota
under the direction of Thomas
Cooper. now Director of the North
Dakota Experiment Station. it was
found that it required on an aver
age 10 i-2 hours of man labor
and 20 hours of horse labor to
produce an acre of oats. If the
yield was 81 bushels per acre.
each bu>'nel would require one
half hour of man labor and a lit
I'll" over an hour of horse labor.
IT. however. the yield was 81 bus
per acre. each bushcl would re.
Guire hut fifteen minutes of man
labor and one-half hour of horse
labor. This brings out quite
clearly that good yield brings a
greater return for the labor put
on an acre.

''There would be no car short
age" Mr.. Woodwork declared,
''were the railroads not obliged to
carry, in addition to their own
traffic. the enormous coast-to-
coast tonnage which was carried
through the Panama Canal by
ships which have wholly deserted
this trade to seek greater profits
elsewhere. Ship owners of
course cannot he blamed for do
ing this. and they might have
made some increases in rate and
kept their vessels in this trade
had it not been for transcontin-

be raised without approval of the
Federal authorities.
