That he was small, and fiery. and
sweet
How well we know who had him
and have not!
AS hawless gentleman as one would
meet
Outside book or knightly Camelot,
Too fleet his ways for what he found
to do;
Sharp war to wage on strange folk
lettering by;
The care of all the house, his mis-
treSS, too;
Long wayfarings beneath the coun-
try sky.
And now the empty year remembers
him;
Mixed with all true and simple
things is he:
And somehow with us still, though
he is dead;
With stars. and windy paths. and sea-
sons within;
With chimney chronicle and village
glee:
And all the tears that ever will be
shed.

It is said that he taken the lead ill this matter of introducing American methods O. farming in Spain at. the solicitation Of scientific agriculturists of his country who believe the productiveness of Spain could be greatly en- hanced if Spanish farmers would abandon the tradi- tions and customs that have down to them from the ages and utilize modern scientific methods The would lead the way it would be less difficult to overcome the prejudices of the people against 'ation. The young Prince readily entered into tht spirit of the program, and he is now demonstrating the advantages of American methods. He Is intro ducihg and demonstrating the superiority of Ameri can chickens over the famous breds of Spain Even his chicken GOODS made from American models
 It was only short timesago when another Crown Prince Of Europe set introduce American methods of agriculture in his country. The Crown Prince q Denmark visit sd .,this continent make an 1ntehsye study of dairying for the purpose ol lhtroduchlga our scientific procedure in his country

 It is la fact However, that the greatest progress in nearly ali branches agriculture during the last quarter century has been made in the United States and Canada. The Spanish and Mnorca hens lay more eggs in this country than in Spain. the Leg horn hens have produced their champions here in stead of in their native Itay Jersey Guernsey and Aldernay cows yield butter in America than on the Channel Islands; the Holseln records made here. Most of the race-track records are American. And so it has been along the whole line
