of Troy Sagraves, of Blaine, secured
a purebred Poland China gilt through
his County Agent and the Bank o.
Blaine. He followed the instructions
|for feeding closely and fed a we'll bal

part, corn meal parts, and middlings
parts. Bonnie Belle grew until at
the age of months she weighed over
800 pounds. At the age of 9 months
she was bred TO purebred sire of her
breed and Arthona followed up his
balanced ration for the pigs until they
were three months old, when he started
selling them for breeders TO his neigh
bors.
After three years work in this way
with his SOW he has made a splendid
record, not only financially. but he is
able to tell his neighbors how to grow
good pig and how to manage for
best results. He has as a net result

ing the artistic individuality which will
some day conclusively turn the trick.
Spanish Paintings

The earlier Spanish schools are rep
resented in a collection of about a
score of pictures at the Enrich gallery,
all the way from the Primitives to
Goya. The earliest are almost more
welcome than any of the others, for
the reason that fifteenth century Span
ish painting is very little known here
Research into the origins of the sub
ject has made nothing like the progress
that has been made in Italy, France
and in the Netherlands. Old Spanish
art remains largely an unexplored re-
gion. Yet it is full of allurement for
the student. One picture alone, of the
three examples in this show, would
ratify this observation. We refer to
the "St. Jerome" of the Catalan school.
It's companion paner, the "St Michael" :"

work which finally made him famous,
the work which excited the competi-
ton of the collectors, is unquestion-
ably beautiful work, so far as it goes,
anu it goes very far. 1t is truthful, it
embraces poetic feeling and sensuous
tone; 1t is the work Of man who
looked at landscape in his own way.
What more need one ask? Only the

some day make his buildings wholly
picturesque. In the mean timo he is on
the right track. He brings In no ad-
ventitious aids. He does not falsify
his subjects, but relies altogether upon
his skill in painting. That is to-day
finer than it has ever been before. If
"The Stone Crusher" remains rather
forbiddingly prosaic, there is some
thing about the picture to assure us
that the man who made it is develop

is fine thing, and perhaps more poig-
nantly Spanish, and the "St. Peter" also
has its dignity and it's beauty. But
the "St. Jerome" is pretty nearly a
masterpiece, comparable to some Of the
achievements of early Italian or Flem-
ish painting. The stately figure is well
constructed, the draperies are broadly
handled, and from the whole work there
emanates something of the hieratic
majesty which belongs to the finer mo-
ments of primitive devotional art.
AS chronology proceeds here it is
we'll illustrated. The Grecos are all
impressive, and one of them, "The Re-
pentant st. Peter" discloses the mas
ter in his richest aspect of dramatic
concentration. Most beautiful Of all is
the "Holy Virgin" beautiful especially
in its glowing color. Mazo is present
in two unfamiliar examples, small bits
of genre, painted with delightful gayety
and with an almost modern touch where
| the landscape backgrounds are con-
cerned, The several Goyas include a
diverting bullring type, but they are
most appealing in portraiture. The
Admiral Mazarredo" has q full-round-
ed bloom, lending great charm to it's
weighty realism. "a Princess" is in
his lighter, courtlier vein. There are
other notable names in the catalogue,
the formal Coello and the monkish Eur
baran, but the salient thing on the
walls is "Still Life" by Velasquez.
This makes a piquant contribution
to the body of the masters earlier
work. 1t dates from the period of the
bodegones, those studies of peasants,
street and tavern types in which the
technician was finding himself and
succeeding with phenomenal rapidity
in the task. The present example does
not, to tell the truth, register complete
command of the style az which he ar
rived even in that formative period.
The tone is not SO pure nor has the
surface the wonderful patina which
was almost Immediately to come with
in his grasp. This is. no such master
piece as either Of the famous bode-
cones at Apsley House, to glance at
random among the paintings of his
young manhood. But, this point once
admitted, there remains much in the
picture that is of the highest interest,",
much of the touch and grain of Velas-
quez in the working out Of an essen
TALLY simple scheme Of color. With a
shade more of the inspiration that he
was destined to enjoy the tones would
have been made more limpid and there
woulG have been a finer technique in
the painting, say, Of the eggs. The
combs of the fowls on the table, too
would have made a more felicitous
passage; he would have secured in
them more exact values. All through
the painting we come upon details like
these which fall short of the immature
but still extraordinary Velasquez. Or
the other hand, it is impossible to think
of any other Spaniard who could have
produced quite this work. Though it
is not q triumph, it comes very near
to being one.

The current exhibition at the Mich
gallery is an unusually vitalized af-
fair. There are men represented in it
who have something to say, and even
when they do not arrive at completely
successful expression have the merit
Of intensely interested experimental
lists. Perhaps that phrase is scarcely
to be applied to Mr.. w. L. Lathrop, who
has been painting long time. Yet he,
too, maintains the gusto which char
acterizes his juniors. He strikes six
different notes in his six pictures, and
all Of them have an inspiriting nervous
force beyond them. "The Muskrat
Hunter" is a landscape which really
ought to have another title. It is a
big Cameronian study of a spacious
scene, painted with a largeness of feel
ing befittng its broad masses and
simple lines. Then in his Evening
Light Mr.. Lathrop foods his canvas
with rosy color; in the picture of "The
Mill" he enchants US with his yellows
and blues; in the "Stubble Field it is
the superb sky that tells, and in "The
Forest" he moves US through his per-
feet craftsmanship in the handling
of trees. This artist, in other words,
is upliftingly varied. He is full of life,
he reproduces the impalpable beauty
! in his subjects, and there is individu-
| atty in what he does. Above all
things he is refreshingly sure of him
| self.
1t is not so with his colleagues on
this occasion, but, as we have indi-
Gated, the mere process of attempting
interesting things is sometimes excit-
| ing for the beholder to watch. Wit
ness the diverse ventures of Mr.. Joseph
T. Pearson jr. Our first impressions of
him, gathered in the exhibition of re-
cent years, have been impressions of
a man painting ducks and the like in
picturesquely decorative manner. He
has drawn upon the barnyard again,
painting studies of horses and cows,
/
mated. He seems to be trying every
| Ithing-portraiture, the nude and fan
tastes in the key of Monticello. This
| threatens an unfortunate diffusion Of
energy The tall portrait for example,
the emily" is a Whistlerian effort in
which simple tonal scheme is nearly
ruined through the bringing Of the
| head and hands to a pitch of relief by
which Whistler would have been fairly
shocked The excess of emphasis in
! the flesh painting is deplorable. Yet
we can see what Mr.. Pearson was driv-
ing at and can sympathize with HIM
| We sympathize altogether with his
lively transitions from subject to sub
iect and from mode to mode. At the
| same time we wish he would settle
down and make the most of one OF
these modes. Mr.. Daniel CARRIER in
vites similarly mixed reflections. He
paints with an admirable aplomb.
There is a certain crisp finish to every
one of his pictures, and at times in his
smaller landscapes, such as the March
Day" and "The Lilac" this crispness Is
compatible with charm of color and of
sentiment. But in the main 1t leaves
his work arid and hammered.
The notable thing about Mr.. Robert
Spencer's work is that it marks prog
