. Country walks for little folks . or is not every servant girl that will make agood dairy-maid.

So there you are, Sally ! just filling your dishes. And fulfilling also your mistresss wishes ; She may not indeed be observing just now, But there is one sees you, and that is the cow. Your pans are quite clean, and the place is quite airy, As should be the case in an excellent dairy. To-morrow perhaps you will churn, will you not? Your churn is a good one, and close on the spot.

But in modern times amachine has been constructed called a drill,Which as it is drawn by a horse over the field,drops the corn in regular dribbling streams, sothat when it springs up the field shows greenrows of plants as close as they can be to growwell. Peas and beans are often sown also witha drill, but sometimes they are dropped insingly from the hand in holes previously is called dibbing it in.
