A party of American civil and mining engineers travels from the Texas border to Mexico City then by narrow gauge to Puebla and Oaxaca. They encounter peons carrying heavy loads, observe onyx and timber areas, and tour Mitla ruins near Oaxaca. The expedition notes local living, diet, dress, and customs along the mountain route.
An old poultry note urges using animal foods in chicken feed. It recommends supplying milk in all forms for all ages, arguing milk provides complete, digestible animal nutrition with no digestive problems. Farms with cows should reserve milk for flock feeding, selling only butter fat.
The article promotes hopper feeding for dry poultry feed. It notes that a hopper or similar device reduces labor, prevents underfeeding, and stops birds from crowding. An accessible hopper for dry mash is described as convenient and satisfactory.
Succeeding litters are generally the best. Shallow cultivation, and often, will kill the weeds. Study your planter and determine how it will give the best service. A little to large is just about right for the oat, corn and hay fields. Cabbage growing for kraut factories is a peculiarly uncertain business. Circumvent large feed bills by growing better forage and grain crops. Rape can be grown when clover is not available or in connection with it. The finer the soil, the better the vegetables, both in quantity and quality. Shallow cultivation means lighter draft and more work done at less expense. Rhubarb is one of the standard garden crops in the vicinity of large cities. Be careful that you plant only seeds that have been tested and are proven fertile. Are you going to have a flower garden that the pigs and chickens cannot get at? Do not neglect the garden. It is one of the greatest money savers on the farm. Rotation of crops in the garden has the same arguments favoring it as rotation in farm crops. Every farmer likes to show his stock in such shape that he doesn't have to offer excuses. If you have a horse which the women and children can drive safely, think twice before you sell it. The beauty of many fine places is marred by vicious cars that rush out at the visitor or passerby. Lime which has been exposed to the air for a long time is better for agricultural purposes than fresh lime. The folks that eat eggs are more and more demanding good fresh eggs. That is just what they will get from the nests of the up-to-date poultry farmer.
A Chicago Daily News correspondent recounts a steamer trip from Virpazar to Cettinje with Serb officers and a Dalmatian volunteer, noting rocky castles, a swift road to the Montenegrin capital, a close glimpse of King Nicholas, and a Turkish sortie thwarted by Montenegrin fire. The volunteer muses on speed and politics as locals and soldiers observe the scene.
