CHILDREN IN FAR OFF SPAIN.

In the Spanish city of Seville there
are no kindergartens or other places
where the busy mother can leave her
little children to he cared for while
she does the housework or helps her
husband in his little shop. The baby
is left 10 care for itself and does so
very well-that is, the baby who has
not learned to walk yet.
1t is placed in n wicker-woven ar
rangement which looks like a basket
turned upside down, and is just high
enough so the baby's feet will touch
the ground. He is then set out in tho

he Gets the Best There IL Out of the
Farm Because He Puts His Own
Bcst Into Ii.

+. l.. Vincent says in Farm and
Firesi,ie: Few of us get the best
there is in our farms. That is be.
cause we do not put the best there
Is in us into them. There isn't much
use in expecting great things on the
farm unless we are willing to plan.
work and study how to get those
great things. How shall we go at
it to do that? In the first place, the
soil must be in a good state of fer
tlllty. This means that we have
carefully saved up every particle of
barnyard manure we have, and have
seconded this effort by judicious
use of commercial fertilizer. 1t
means, too, that we have not pre-
viously cropped the land to death.
Then we will plow thoroughly. Not
one man out of ten in this country
knows how to plow: or, if he does,
he has not the grit and the gump-
tion to do it. Once in awhile we
meet a farmer who insists that this
part of the farm work shall be done
thoroughly. He is on the way to
success. 1t was an old Scotchmau
who said: 'Ie dinna ken how to
plow in this coontry; ye on'y
scratch the groom And that ia
about what most of us farmers do
we scratch the ground. And again,
to get the best there is in our farms
we must use the harrow more faith
fully. The farmer has no better tool
than good harraw. i say good
harrow, because hosts of farmers
have not such "A thing as a tirst-class
harrow on the place. They are work
ing away with the same old V
shaped drag their fathers used, or
else have picked up at some sale u
worn-out thing not worth bringing
home. No good work can be done
with such a tool. llarrows of an up
to-date pattern are reasonable in
price nowadays, and every farmer
ought to have one or more. Good,
clean seed is a requisite, too. No
use to sow seed that will not grow,
or that is full of weed seed. Thi,
may mean the purchase of fan
ming mill, to be used in rcclcaniny
seed. We may better do this than
To seed our farms down with foul
weeds. But, finally, we will fail aft
er all if we do not keep the weeds
down in every crop that can be cul-
tivated. This means steady work
for few weeks in the spring of the
year, until the potatoes have been
hilled up and the corn is too large to
admit of working a horse through
it. But the end tells the story.
Other things being equal, the man
who puts himself into his work as
| have here described may rest as
sured of a good crop-the best the
soil will produce. And that ought
to make him happy"
