DPAlN CERTAINLY THE LAND or
RECORD cOURTsHIPa
u 10 Nothing for Couple In That
Country to Remain Engaged for
Ten Years Before Their
Marriage.

Spain might be termed the land OF
dehberat1on, for nothing-especially
IN the case of courtship and marriage
is done in haste. Indeed, in the
country towns Of Andalusia, a sudden
marriage creates great surprise. for,
q a Spanish writer says, there Is
nothing in which procrastination is
carried SO far in Andalusia as in the
matter of engagements"
The Andalustan peasant considers
well the step he is about to take, and
this consideration is q very pleasant
way of killing time, and time is of but
quite common thing for man to ba
engaged ten years. There is also q
monetary consideration to be taken
into account, the marriage fee in
Spain being a high one, 81 or IS.
Before coming into the house Of his
dancee, man has to ask permission
OF the father to be his daughters
sweetheart. II he gives it party Is
given to celebrate the engagement, at
which they drink aguardiente and eat
cakes. Girls are never allowed to
walk out with their sweethearts. No
kissing is permitted between them.
When a girl is asked why, she says.
I'VE do not belong to our sweethearts;
II we quarreled he could not say that
my lips had ever been his !
This comes partly from pride and
partly from a wish not to be depreciat
ed In the matrimonial market, as low
ers IN Spain often prove tickle. A
girl I know had been engaged I'VE
years when her lover Tilted her. Six

with her former lover, so her matri!
monial chances we're quite as good az
before she was engaged at ALL
Although they do not kiss each 9th
81 they put Ks and os in their letters,
the latter signifying embraces. When
. girl addresses him as my appreciat-
cd john" she does not think it at all
correct to put my dear John" unless
they have been engaged long time.
In these days engaged couples be-
longing to the upper classes see .
good deal Of each other. They meet
at mass in the morning, chat together
during the hour of siesta, see each 9TH
er in the afternoon during the prone
made, 60 to the same party in the eve
ming. and after supper see each other
and 'chat together at the window, and
there are nights when they remain
once more chatting together, their
fAces pressed to the bars, until the
rosy-fngered dawn appears ia tho
east"
It IL related that lover getting
married after an engagement OF eight
years soon afterward fell into low
spirits from not knowing what to do
with his time.
In olden days, however, according TO-
fernando Cortez, Spanish girls were
kept almost as secluded and guarded
Is carefully as the. ladies in the harem
of Turk. Therefore, when a young
man fell in love. instead Of ringing the
door bell and sending in his card he
often made rope ladder and survey
cd the residence of the young lady
with a view to ascertaining the best
mode of getting upon her balcony or
into her window.

a mistake if they do. The first thing
is to educate themselves, to learn how
to begin with few animals and take
lessons from them. For after all, the
animal itself can teach us more, if we
keep our eyes open and our ears open
and our brain in good working order
than the schools can teach us or the
agricultural papers can teach us

Men are liable to run to extremes
We see it every year. One man makes
money on feeding cattle. All the
neighbors, believing that they can dc
it just as we'll as he can, jump into il

ers have made piles of money in grow
ing wheat. Their neighbors are very
likely to say: 81 can do what he can
and I'll grow wheat The probability
is that they will make failure of it.
They certainly will unless they learn
how to do it, and that can be learned
only through clear thinking and lot
of good, honest work mixed with it.
There are alfalfa fields even in the
humid section that have already yield
ed four tons to the acre and over The
neighbors will say: Pm going into
alfalfa" They are likely to go into it
in a large way. To these we say:
Don't until you have first found out
how to do it.
If we are going to grow cattle, we
shall have to have a less acreage of
grain; but we must grow as much
grain on the smaller acreage as on the
larger. Therefore we must learn how.

we will have to take our medicine
sooner or later, buy commercial fer
tilizers-millions of dollars worth OF
them; and even then, to get the good
out of the commercial fertilizers OF
various kinds, we must raise vege
table matter, and to do that we must
go to grass.
In short, the sum of the agricultural
gospel is: Where you have been grow
ing grain, as every section of the coun
try does until the farmers learn bet
ter, go to grass and then get some
thing to eat the grass. Breed the
type of animals that are fit to eat
the grass and grain without these pro
ducts of the soil swearing at them
Learn how to use the corn to the
greatest advantage. This is the les
son of the present hour, and we must
either heed it or take our medicine
and without grumbling or growing.
This, again, involves new kind OF
agricultural education. We do not
mean the education of the university
the agricultural college, the high
school or the common school. A new
kind of education is needed in all
these. We mean that education which
the boy gets on the farm, that teaches
him not merely how to grow corn and
be expert at it, or how to produce
crop of winter wheat or oats or any
thing else, but how to handle live
stock as we'll, how to balance rations.
This will all come by and by, and the
sooner the better.
We cannot go on in the. way we
have been going. Even the stock
farmer cannot go on the way he has
been doing, because the price of land
and pasture and hay and grain, even
what he raises himself, is getting so
high that he cannot afford to throw
any of it away. He must learn how to
grow more to the acre; must cut down
his acreage of corn on smaller acre
age as he did on the larger one. He
must get more pasture off his field and
more hay; and then he must feed it to
better advantage.
Why, we have enough feed going to
waste in the west to double the num-
Der of our cattle. This year three
fourths of the corn fodder will stand
in the field. as it did last year, with
hay selling in the eastern cities at
thirty dollars ton, and both east and
west at the same price per ton as corn
in the great markets. This is not
farming. 1t is wastage of farm prod
ucts. The only remedy is the kind of
education we have been speaking
about.
Now we don't advise men who have
been raising grain exclusively to jump
into cattle all at once. They will make

GOOD ROADS RE,
QUlRE ATTENTION
Good Roads Bring the Market Nearer
to the Farmer and Make Farm
More Desirable.
FARMER-MERcHANT INTERESTED
Following Paper by c. r. Spencer, Was
Awarded First Prize at Recent
Contest in Fairfield, Iowa

The good roads problem would be
no problem at all if the people as {
whole would work together 1t is JUS
as much to the interest of the city
man as the farmer.
There is no influence that encour
ages community improvement and rur
al development more than good roads
You or l would rather haul a load
ten miles over a good road than five
miles over bad one. Good roads
bring the market nearer to the farm
and make the farm more desirable. In
turn good roads enlarge the trade ter
ritory of the town. A country home
out from the city five miles over a
well kept road is in reality nearer
than one situated considerably closer
which is reached over bad road. Fiji.
teen miles is not long drive over a
finely kept highway; it is prohibitive
through muck or over rutted humpy,
rig-racking, uncared-for way.
When the time comes that every
farmer counts the extra time he
spends on poor roads between his
farm and market, the additional wear
and tear on harness and vehicles and
the extra feed necessary for horses
pulled over such roads, he will regard
the road problem from an economic
standpoint If all of the extra time
that has been spent on travel over
bad roads the past ten years could be
collected for at moderate wage the
resulting money would be sufficient
to macademiZe half the highways
When it is brought home to the
business man that his trade territory
can be increased fifty to one hundred
per cent by thorough system of good
highways entering into his city, his
ear may be secured and his assist
ance had When it is understood that
good roads will increase farm values
and make farm life more desirable,
there will be added interest in the
question on the part of land owners.
When we all realize that it costs mon
ey to deliver farm produce at mar
ket over bad roads, and that it adds
to the cost of production and the cost
of living, we will see where the good
roads movement interests us all, even
though we travel with nothing heav-
Ter than go-cart.
The road drag is the one nipple
ment at hand that will make and keep
roads at low cost A road drag can
be made at an expense of less than
two dollars in material and labor, and
it will do more work and better work
than any grader at any cost. 1t will
operate with one man and a team
and grader requires three teams and
as many men, at least. If all the
money that is spent on the grader to
the detriment of the road was put in
to dragging there would be a great

The broad hitch is the real settle
ment of the dirt road problem. When
the horses are held out so they tread
in the wheel track instead of inside,
as at present, there will be no posi-
bility of the formation of ruts. The
broad feet of the horses iron" out
and fill the tracks. There is nothing
to confine the travel and it goes to all
parts of the grade, forming a perfect
drainage surface.
However, we at present must rely
on the road drag. 1t does the bust
ness, too. The road drag keeps the
ruts filed. The tires of the wagon
pack the earth dragged over the
grade. The small bearing surface of
a wagon tire makes it proportionate-
ly great deal heavier than any road
roller. Where the drag is used in
building up grade to the proper
height-Say crown twelve to four
teen inches-there is practically no
chance for the water to get in. There
is little loosening of the packed earth
as result of frost, and the roads are
good practically all the year round.
