PROLIFIC IN RESOURCES.
This section Offers the Advantage of
Two Crops Year.


Can l name some of the advantages
here for farmers over other sections of the
country" said Mr.. Charles Il. Semple. in
answer to an inquiry by The Post reporter.
On being answered in the affirmative, he
said:
lone of the advantages, and it is great
advantage, too. is that a farmer here can
keep himself posted as to the corn and
wheat crop throughout the United States,
also the fruit and vegetable crop, by re-
ceivng monthly from the agricultural de-
partment at Washington, report OF the
condition of the crops of the United : . es,
and whenever he discovers a shortage or a
partial failure in wheat, corn or vegetables
throughout the central and northern part
of the United States. he has time to plant
his cabbage seed clear oil the corn stalks
from his old corn field prepare the ground
and plant it out TO cabbage where he can
cut from the stock an January and Febru-
airy and ship North by the car lead, and
receive probably out of one crop OF cabbage
more clear cash than he would for ten
crops of corn off the same ground. The
same thing can be done with turnips or
rutabaeas, as a shortage iii the vegetable
or grain crops in the North always makes
vegetables very much higher in price. This
does not interfere with putting in crop
OF corn or cotton the following year but
simply makes use OF the ground between
the two seasons.
another advantage the farmer has here,
he can raise spring crop of Irish potatoes,
barrel them or crate them aud ship them
to the Northern markets. where they sell
at high price at the time of year when
We can furnish them. and then raise on
the same land fall crop of Irish potatoes
for the home market. making two crops
on the same ground.
"Onc other advantage to the farmer in
this section of the country, as compared
with Northern farming, is the proximity 10
an ocean outlet. These ocean outlets on
the Cuff and Atlantic coast fix the price of
grain, and the interior farmer receives the
price that grain is worth at these outlets,
less the freight and commission in get
ting the grain TO these outlets, and the
closer farmer can locate himself TO one
of these outlets. the less freight he has to
pay and the greater is his net profit for
producing the grain.
There are many other advantages besides
the few just mentioned, but these | re-
gard as among the chief.

MAGNIFICENT FACILITIES.
For the Small Farmer Whose Mems
Arc Limited.

I'm my opinion" says Mr.. W. I. Will
hanson, 1.-THE coast country of Texas has
ments to those who would better their con
dition than any other part of the State or
Union, particularly the farming classes.
The fertile soil. good markets, railroad
facilities, mild and healthful climate make
this section peculiarly favorable for the
small farmers, fruit growers and persons
of limited means. Immigration is incroas-
ing and large numbers of actual settlers
from the Northern States, also from North
Texas, are arriving daily and with the de
veiopment now being made 1t is only a
question of very short time when lands
will be worth double what they are now
selling for"

INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD.
Some Sensible Suggestions for the Young
 Mother.

Some Sensible Suggestions for the Young
 Mother.
 A child should literally be intelligent ly let alone. 1t should not be handled, or held, or rocked, or amused, nor should it's attention be attracted in any way. For the first five or six months it should lie quietly in it's bed or bas- ket, be regularly fed and as regularly encouraged to sleep. It will of course get tired Therefore it needs occasion al turning, with change of position, and a gentle rubbing of limbs or back. \ good rule is to stroke the little body for few minutes and to change it's po- sition every time the baby needs to be made dry. The natural rapid growth of infancy makes the flesh jingle and the limbs ache, and frequent rubbing with the palm of the hand promotes fu- ture health as well as present comfort.
 In order to preserve for young babe the proper conditions, of light. warmth and air, and yet to lift and carry it as little as possible, it is necessary to have for it's first nest a movable bed. Any basket with the sides and bottom carefully protected and padded will serve, but the most convenient is the regular dog basket, with a hood on one side. This, when properly draped. serves to exclude draughts, while the drapery may easily be readjusted to vary the degree of light. If child occupies stationary crib it must be moved from it's bed whenever it's room is aired or cleaned or is needed for other pur- poses But when such a basket is used the child and bed together may be changed from one room to another. or from one part of the room to a darker or lighter corner, or to cooler or warmer one, as convenience or comfort may suggest. Most important of all, a mother, without confining herself to the nursery, can keep the infant under her own eye while engaged in her or dinary daily occupations. Even though she does not personally feed and care for her baby, she can thus superintend and eritieise the nurses efforts.
 By this method she may also expe1'i- ence the greatest of all maternal enjoy ment-that derived from watching the daily development of her child Also, she can at the same time, without in- terruption or fatigue, conveniently sew or read, write or study, receive visits or direct her household affairs.-Harper' Bazar.
