MIDDLE-MEST APT EXHIRIT.

Tuesday evening, Museum night
saw the formal opening of the
Middle West Art exhibit, an an
nual even that is always of much
interest because it affords oppor-
tunity of comparison of the art Of
the middle-west with that of the
southwest. The group represented
in this exhibit is more or less under
the leadership and influence Of
bigger SanZen, a Titan in original
ity and color. and Oscar Jacobson,
a clear-headed . student of art
movements and dean of the school
of art at Oklahoma university.
whose paintings this year show a
distinct advance over past per
formances, his "Quicksands" es-
pecially being a canvas of much
merit His other paintings i'm the
exhibit are: "Navajos Passing"
Mount Shasta, +" winter Sun" and
Rattle Snakes" the Navajo pic
'ure being especially striking and
well composed. Burger Sandzen in
his favorite themes of the noun
tains and rocks of Colorado, his
Kansas farm scenes and flower
paintings, is as rugged and viriIe as
ever and paints with a VerVe that
proclaims him master. Tho
Great Red Rocks" is the most am
bilious and most striking painting
in the entire exhibit and is sub
iect that few if any other land
scape artist would attempt Yet,
he carries it off successfully. "The
Gateway" THE Old Farm" "Red
Rocks and Mountains" "Twilight,'
In the Heart of the Mountains,
Forest and Mountain" and
"Peonies," are titles of other
paintings, all attractive, sincere
and well painted, and yet, not as
smashing and convincing as was
his exhibit at the museum last year,
Henry V. Poor comes with gentler
scenes but with a broader, simpler
brush than heretofore. In fact
some viii say that he has carried
the virtue of elimination too far,
Neverth eless! his "Saddlebacli
Mountain" Trees and Snow,
CLARK Hobart" and Garden of
the Gods" are admirable and well
worth closer examination. In AL
bert b. Olson, one finds the mystic,
one who harks back to the days
when Persia had a great art. and
who follows in the steps of Davies
and the others of that illl. "The
Shining Angel of Remembrance"
is purely symbolic, while 1.-THE
Shepherd" has something of that
aloofness which borders on mys-
terry, Il. j. O. Nordfeldt is repre-
scented by his canvas "The Buffalo
| Dance" well-known to Santa
Feans, and 1.-THE Landscape" both
vigorous and frank in their inter
probation. Marsden Hartley con-
tributes "CochiU Window" and
New Mexico Hills with Arroyo,
both good from the standpoint of
| the modernist and anomalous as ii
may seem, bridging the gap be-
! tween realist and romanticist. An

pictures indicate that this sotourn
does not necessarily imply hard
ships. On the contrary, the Taos
region is most enticlng, and so

tic summer resorts must look to

the most striking in the society's
exhibition of this year and his one

There is something about life on
the plains and among the hills,
however, that discounts the school
fol-lOls of artistic training and
puts premium upon what a man
really knowns about life in the
open. Fl, Herbert Dunton, who
has almost no fol-lols to speak of,
paints pictures, nevertheless, that
must be real comfort to people
who have both blazed and followed
la blazed trail. He seems to paint
each buckle of the packhorse ac-
'coutrement from experience, and
the men who stride his horses
would not have diSgraced Bret
Harte. He is academic if you like,
hut the academician who records
what he loves is bearable. And to
'get the Bret Harte type in those
days is not easy. Not all ranch
men look the part, and it is posi-
Bile to travel for days in trackless

,fastidious Henry Adams, lost in the

beamed. fell into the arms of the
writer, Clarence King! King was an
NGthority upon the mountains to be
sure, but he was luckier find for
writer than for an artist. He was
mot a Bret Harte type, and he
would not have done for II. Herbert
,Dunton." All of which is good ad-
vertising for New Mexico.

WILL HONOR EARLY PRINTER
Anniversary of Birth of Christophe
Plantin to Be Appropriately Com
memorated in August
Canadian Government AgeI

The four hundredth anniversary OF
the birth of Christophe Plantin. the
noted French printer of the sixteenth
century, will be commemorated with
appropriate ceremonies in Antwerp
during August. Plantln was son Of
Belgium only through adoption. He
was born somewhere i'm historic
Touraine.
1t was the peculiar achievement OF
Plantin to bring honor and glory TO
the printers trade in the days OF it's
infancy. With a keen appreciation
of the beauties of literature, plantin
delighted in perfecting his workman
ship in order that these beauties
might be published in the most at
tractive form possible, although his
tools were those of a common work
man. His chef-d'Oeuvre was the fa-
nous Biblia pOlygotta-published in
1569-1573-an attempt at a scientific
revision of the text of the Old and
New Testaments. 1t was published in
the Greek, Hebrew, Syrian and Chal-
dean languages. As a result of this
monumental work Plantin received
from King Philip of Spain the title
"prototypographus regius." and the
right TO print all the liturgical books
for the states embraced I'm King Phil
iD's far-fung empire.

USE Ak IF DISEASE
DEVELOPS IN FLOCK
Chicks viii Not Grow Properly if
Not Healthy.
Far Better Plan to Prevent Ailments
Than to Attempt to Cure an AiIing
Fowl-Give Good Attention
to Their Houses.

Disease is one of the handicaps to
successful poultry keeping and should
be guarded against at all times. Un-
less kept In a healthy condition,
chicks will not grow properly and
mature fowls will lose their vigor and
vitality and become unproductiye and
Improbable.
1t is far better 70 prevent disease by
proper care and attention than TO at
tempt to cure a bird after il is sick.
Therefore it Is important TO watch
the flock closely at all times for any
signs of disease, so in case an out
break occurs 1t may be checked at
once. Prevention Is always better
than cure, and all those who wish TO
succeed with poultry should give their
birds such good care and keep their
houses so well cleaned and disinfect-
ed that both fowls and chicks will
keep hardy and vigorous.
Some diseases may be treated sue
cessfully. while others of more seri-
Gus nature usually prove fatal. II
only one or two birds OF a flock be-
come sick il is usually advisable TO Kill
them Immediately (unless they are
choice specimens) and burn or bury
the carcasses. say poultry specialists
In the United States department of
agriculture. If the birds are kept and
an attempt is made TO doctor or cure
them the disease may prove contagious
and spread throughout the entire
flock.

HOW TO PREVENT
BEES SWARM|NG
Advice and Suggestions on Sub
ject Given by Professor
Conrad of Clemson.
BROOD CHAMBER TOO SMALL
Emigration Of Honey Gatherers Can
Be Greatly Reduced by Proper
Management-How Swarm May
Be Hived to Best ADVANTAGE.

One of the problems OF the beekeep-
er, says Prof. a. F. Conradi, entomolo-
gist, Is how to prevent bees from
swarming. The following questions
and answers taken from Information
card No. 8. published recently by the
extension service O. Clemson college,
give in brief form expert advice and
suggestions on this subject:
i. Why do bees swarm?
The bee colony is divided into
workers, drones Tor male bees), and
queen. Normally the queen alone
lays eggs, and to perpetuate their race
new colonies are necessary This is
their natural way Of increase.
2. What are conditions that induce
swarming?
(a) The brood chamber may be too
small allowing too little egg-laying
space. OBJ There may be too little
storage space. (c) There may be lack
of ventilation. (d) There may be too
many drOneS.
3. AT what season is swarming most
frequent?
Mostly in early spring, but 1t may
occur at any time during honey flow
if conditions named in No. 2 are not
corrected.
4. Can swarming be entirely pre-
vented?
No; but It can be greatly reduced
by proper management.
S. Why should swarming be pre-
vented as far as possible?
To keep the working force together.
than any number of weak colonies.
6. Are there two queens in the hive
at swarming time?
Generally not. The young queen
cell. The old queen leaves with the
first swarm.
Z. How may swarming be reduced
or possibly prevented?
(a) If the brood chamber becomes
crowded add another brood chamber
(b) If bees cluster out, ii may be due
to a crowded condition, or lack of ven
tilation. Ventilate the hive and add
supers when necessary. If possible
remove drOne comb and also queen
cells.
s. How may a swarm be hived TO
best advantage?
(a) When The swarm has settled
shake or brush it into the new hive.

PRODUCE BEST CAULIFLOWER
Tie Leaves Over Head to Protect Il
From Sun or Weather-Three
Cuttings of Crop.

When the caulifiower head is about
the size of dollar, the leaves should
be tied or twisted over the head to
protect it from sun and weather. This
method should produce a perfectly
white product. The leaves should be
so tied that snow or rain that enters
may find a ready exit at the bottom.
as an accumulation of moisture on
the head or curd will cause dark spots
and eventually ruin the product.
There are usually three cuttings of
the crop. If the earliest heads are
tied with string, the second with
raffla and the last have the leaves
broken over, the grower will be aided
at cutting time and will not have to
examine all the plants.
