Live STOCK SELF-FEEDING OF SOWS AND PIGS The practice of self-feeding sows and pigs during the suckling period can be safely and profitably followed by hog growers, according to M. W. Muldrow, Oklahoma College of Agriculture. Mr. Muldrow cites the results i of experiments conducted by E. Z. Russel of the bureau of animal industry to determine the possibilities of using the self-feeder for sows and their pigs. Mr. Russel writes: “Close observation of the sows and pigs during these tests indicated that both sows and pigs using the self-feeder looked better and were more thrifty than sows and pigs hand-fed. “A noticeable fact about the sows in the self-fed lots was that there never was any crowding at the feeders. Scarcely ever were there more than two or three sows eating at the same time, even when a dozen or more I sows were being fed from one feeder. “There was a striking difference in the quantities of feeds consumed in the various lots during the three years. The sows and pigs in the hand-fed lots consumed a much greater quantity of middlings than those in self-fed lots. “The outstanding fact among the results of the experiment is that the feed cost per I<M> pounds of gain was materially less in the self-fed lots than in the hand-fed lots. In the self-fed lots it required a total of 441.06 pounds of feed for 100 pounds of gain, whereas in the hand-fed lots 603.00 pounds were required. At the beginning of the test it was expected that the sows and pigs when placed on self-feeders would show better results so far as weight and condition were; concerned, but it was not suspected that the result could be accomplished with less feed. “Taking into consideration, as demonstrated by these facts, that sows and pigs on self-feeders may be car ried through the suckling period with less feed per 100 pounds of gain and are in better condition at weaning time, and that it is possible to put the pigs on the market at an earlier age. together with saving of labor and feed, it that the practice of self-feeding sows and pigs during the suckling period is one that can be safely and profitably followed by hog producers. Steers for Feeding ! Need Good Qualities Steers for feeding must have beef characteristics fixed by beef ancestry. These may be obtained quite satisfactorily by continually using pure-bred bulls of the same type and breed. The highest percentage of good cuts and the least waste in killing are the qualities desired in beef steers. In selecting feeders, however, a strong frame with plenty of room for vital organs, must be chosen, for the steer that would kill with least waste might not be strong enough to put on the greatest amount of flesh economically. A wide strong back, great heart girth, and smooth covering of flesh are essentials in a good feeder. The head is an excellent index of the power of a steer to make economical gains. A side view of the body from hocks and knees to back bone should show a well-filled rectangle. The general form should be compact and deep and broad. Short-legged animals are desirable. Good balance or proportion of parts is very important. Cattle are classified by the purpose for which they are sold: and graded according to their fitness for that purpose. Feeders are usually bought at the big markets or from local buyers. High-priced land cannot be profitably used to raise steers. When to bay depends largely on the buyer’s equipment. the amount and time he intends to feed, and on the condition of the steers. ootxxxxxyotxxxxxxxxxHyooooooLive Stock Items ooooootxxxyoooooooooooooooo* Hogs are the only domestic animals raised for food alone. • • • Good feed allowed in liberal amounts aids the lambs to withstand stomach worms. • • • Many farmers have a good deal of difficulty getting the fall litters through the winter and often come through with a stunted, mangey, sorry outfit at best. • « « The symptoms of stomach worm disease in sheep can often be recognized by the languid, lazy walk; drooping ears; hanging head; emaciated body, and shaggy wool coat. « • * ' The feeding of tobacco, either in the feed or mixed with the salt, has proved ineffective against stomach worms. • • « r The addition of alfalfa hay and linseed meal or buttermilk to yellow corn and tankage greatly improves the ration as a feed for pigs.

SunChildy Me Sierras ■5 : r , \ HPSRr f r w w w- u Street Market in Cuernavaca

(Prepared by the National Geographic Society. Washington. D. C.)

'HROUGH the many ages of travel few spots of the world have remained unchanged in the well-trodden paths of civiliza-

T

tion; but Cuernavaca, the Sun Child of the Sierras, lies today in the little Mexican valley of the same name well preserved in its natural behuty since the time of Cuauhnahuac, when the ancient builders wrote their history in hieroglyphics. The name Cuernavaca, meaning “horn of the cow’’ in Spanish, is probably a contraction of Cuauhnahuac. the more poetic Aztec term, meaning “near the mountain.’’ ami tradition tells us that it was applied by the Spanish during the days of the Conquest, in April, 1521. Accentuating the grandeur of the distant snow-capped mounts, Fopocatepetl and Iztaccihuath the town is situated on the edge of the Tropics, among the foothills of the Sierras. Hemmed in on every side by lofty peaks which no storm can surmount, and having an altitude of nearly 5.000 feet, which tempers the heat of a tropical sun. Cuernavaca enjoys an equable climate at all seasons of the year. It is little wonder, then, that the Aztecs, the Montezumas, the great Conquistador, Cortez, the unfortunate Emperor Maximilian and his erstwhile Empress Carlotta sought this ideal retreat and found peace, rest, and sun- a shine. There is no other 75-mile trip in the three Americas so full of charm as that from Mexico City to Cuernavaca. The four hours required to make the journey pass only too quickly, as the train winds its way through a veritable wonderland. Chapultepee. Molino del Rey, Contreras, Monte de las Cruces, and many other places of historic interest are passed, and upon reaching La Cima, the highest point on the route, at an elevation of about 10,0(H) feet, a magnificent view of the fertile Valley of Cuernavaca is unfolded below. I‘lantations of sugarcane and coffee, fields of rice and bananas, and orchards of lemon, orange. and mango trees can be seen as far as the eye can reach. Wild Ride to the Village. Upon arrival at the railway station a number of rickety carriages will be found in waiting, and, after a bit of good-natured chaffing, a bargain is made with one of the “cocheros” to drive you to the village, about a mile distant. As the frail little conveyance is driven along the roadway, across the bridge, and then, swaying to and fro, over the rough cobblestones of the narrow, crooked streets of the village, you will experience a ride not soon forgotten. Vying in its excitement with a chariot race of medieval times, a contest between the cocheros is soon on in earnest. The houses of the village, which are built without a vestige of symmetry or regularity, appear to be toppling over each other as the driver frantically strives to reach the hotel ahead of his rivals. Perhaps he might be contemplating an extra tip for his cleverness if he wins the race, for you will then be able to secure a first choice of rooms: but by what miracle has destruction of the entire outfit been averted will ever remain a mystery to you. The town is located on a thickly wooded hill between two deep barrancas and surrounded by a number of precipitous gorges, which make it by nature almost inaccessible. Crossing these, however, are several notable bridges. From the Puente del Diablo (Bride of the Devil) an excellent view can be had of one of the gorges anu the two great springs, Ojos de Guadalupita (Eyes of the Little Guadalupe), which have been highly treasured by the natives for centuries. Quite near are numberless other springs and mountain streams, which have been united and form what is known as the municipal water works. So great is the supply of water and so constant and thorough has been its distribution that the entire comma- ( nity has been converted into a rich No Trouble to This Watch John Harwood of Baldrine. Isle of Man, has devoted a lifetime of labor and research in perfecting what is virtually a perpetual-motion wrist watch.

grove of trees innumerable gardens. ** Nature as been most lavish in her gifts to Cuernavaca. Here time or money counts for little except the peace, comfort, and happiness it will bring. Every home, however humble, has its little patio and a wealth of sunshine and flowers. The domestic life is ideal. A very pretty custom obtains on Sunday evenings and festivals. on which occasions the village maidens promenade around the plaza. They usually take the inside turn, strolling in one direction, while the “uovios,” or village beaux, take the outside turn, in an opposite direction, and in this manner they face each other at all times. Where Cortez Resided. The Cortez palace, built in 1531, where the patriot Morales was confined as a prisoner of war, and which is now used as the capitol of the state of Morelos; and the cathedral, built in 1535, whose tower contains a clock from the cathedral of Segovia, bear silent testimony to the noble and quiet manner in which Hernando Cortez spent his iife after the conquest. He made Cuernavaca his residence and personally managed the vast estates in the vicinity which had been granted by him by Charles V of Spain. During the second empire Maximilian and his consort, Carlotta, made Cuernavaca the summer capital of their court, and spent the few tranquil and happy days of a stormy career at their country residence, Olinde, in the suburbs of the town. They also paid frequent visits to the Borda gardens. These gardens of world-wide fame were laid out by Don Jose de la Borda in 1762 witti the idea of reproducing, on a' grander scale, the gardens of Versailles. In order faithfully to carry out his plans, he sent to France for landscape gardeners and expended over a million dollars in the work. The natural springs on the estate were transformed into lakelets, cascades, and luxurious baths. Sloping terraces, bowers and trellises of roses, groves of laurel and mango, costly fountains and vases, casinos and pavilions, formed part of the adornment. Birds of goregeous plumage made their nests and sting in the trees that shaded the fern-lined walks. Plants and flowers of the rarest varieties were brought from all parts of the world and arranged with the most artistic skill, and it has been aptly salt! that even today the place lacks but an apple tree to convince the visitor that it might have been the original Garden of Eden. Crocked Streets, Quaint Shops. The Morelos baths, with their gardens of roses and tropical plants, remind the traveler of a bit of Granada. Then there are the gardens of the old bishop’s palace, which faithfully typify a courtyard of the Middle ages. Like Boston, the streets of the town appear to have been laid out by the cows, ’’"he Calle NacionaTrthe principal street, vith its quaint shops, offers many attractions to the lover of antiquities. There are also a nunv ber of interesting public buildings, in eluding tue palace of the governor, the theater, which also contains the politic library—the literary institute? the post and telegraph offices, the barracks, and a number of public schools, and charitable institutions. It appears to matter little whether buildings are old or new in Cuernavaca. They have all taken on the mellow coloring of antiquity and harmonize with surrounding nut are. About seven miles from Cuernavaca is the Indian vihage of Juitcpec. where some of their mysterious cus toms are still observed. The place has the appearance of a stage setting and the natives of the village are like the characters in a play. Each year a strange feast is celebrated. How these people have preserved their ancient customs through such long periods of time is unexplained. They seem to be in a world by themselves and care little about the outside. spring to run the watch when taken off from 24 to 30 hours. The watch cannot become overwound.
