Life ON a Beef Cattle Farm

When the calves are from 8 to
8 months old they are tattooed.
They are locked in pen which Is
divided into three parts. They are
kept in the first part until they are
tattooed, then they are locked in a
small inclosure with sliding doors.
First they have a black, pasty ink
material rubbed in their ears; then
a punch with numbers on 1t in very
hard spikes is applied to their ears.
The rest of the ink is rubbed away
and the number lasts all the calves
lives.
When the calves are about 2 years
old, and If the owner wants to sell,
he takes them to an auction. The
auction is usually held in q large
barn. Benches are set up around q
square of straw on which the bulls
and heifers are shown. 1t is usually
very crowded with farmers and curl
Gus spectators. Since most OF the
spectators are men, the place Is al
ways filed with smokers and tobacco
chewers.
The cattle are kept in the back Of
the barn, with hired hands from the
farms, and are, with the cattle.

AS we explore the religion OF the
ancient Greeks we may be I'M
pressed by the big part which
goddesses played in the minds OF
the people. These deities, in their
belief, were very powerful and
played important parts in war. as
well as peace. !
From among these goddesses !
should like to choose three to talk
about today-Hera, Athena and
Nemesis.
Hera was the wife Of zeus. She
held almost the same place in the
Greek religion as Juno did among
the Romans.
Hera was the goddess of marriage
and Greek women gave her special
honor. They prayed to her and
offered sacrifice. Argos, Sparta &c
Mycenae were supposed to be her
.three dearest cities"
Farmers around Argos called Hera
Lady OF the Yoke" Each spring
they marked the first pair of oxen
used In plowing as the special oxen
Of this goddess. They also called
sprouting kernels of corn athe flow
ers of Hera,"
Of all Greek cities Argos was the
one where the worship Of Hera was
most important and st-lasting.
The citizens said she helped them
lin war. A large statue of her
was carved and set up In Argos
about 1855 years ago.
Hera was queen Of heaven but,
sad to say, she was not always
kindly. Stories which the Greeks
told about her speak of her as
being very jealous toward zeus, the
king Of the gods.
Worship was given to Hera ct
Athens, but in that city the goddess
Athena was honored to q far greater

extent. She was looked upon as the
city's patron goddess"
The many stories told about
Athena must have been hard for
learned Athenians to believe. 1t
was said that at her birth she
"sprang full-armed from the brain
of Zeus."
Athena was supposed to have IN
vented the plow, and to have taught
men how to yoke oxen together.
Goldsmiths, shoemakers and boat
builders said the goddess had taught
these trades, or arts, to their arlces-
tors. Women at Athens looked upon
Athena as the one who had given
the arts OF spinning and weaving
to the world. IL
One tale about Athena described
the way she had produced the first
olive tree. Twas said that one day
che struck her spear into the bare
soil on top of the hill known as the
Acropolis. At the spot there sprang
up an olive tree.
The goddess Nemesis Is less well
known than either Hera or Athena.
Yet she held an important place In
the minds of some ancient Greeks.
According to the Greek poet
Hesiod, this goddess was "the
Daughter of Night" People said
that II any one did wrong, Nemesis
would find a way to punish him.e
Those who grew rich and power
full were supposed to be In danger Of
forgetting the gods and goddesses.
and Of failing to pray TO them often
enough. In this case, Nemesis was
expected to cause trouble which
would lead them back to the old
Greek religion.
Even to this day, we may hear
some one speak of Nemesis. People
who suffer after they have dore
wrong are said to be meeting their
Nemesis. I"

Musical Opportunities

Band, which, although rather new,
already has a fine reputation, fill all
demands for martial music. Their
free concerts offer much musical
education to financially limited
high school student.
Among local artists, pianists,
icellists, violinists and chamber
music groups as well as other per-
formers give recitals at the National
Art Gallery and the Phillips
Memorial Gallery. The National
Cathedral sponsors programs OF
organ and instrumental music.
Inasmuch as the staging Of all
available halls is limited to the point
of total inadequacy, opera is almost
impossible. Several small companies
have tried to overcome the definite
limitations of Constitution Hall,
with some success. Ballet, unfor-
tunately, also is greatly hindered by
the same factors, but the Ballet
Russo de Monte Carlo managed to
give successful performances during
the past season.
