MAKING ADVANCES.


improvements Thst Have Been Aalls II
An Branches or Farm work.
Progress in agricultural science at
best is slow. As a rule naturally con-
sentative farmers do not take hold and
use advantages 50 often afforded by tho
experience of others. Changes in
methods of planting and cnltivating as
well as in feeding or managing stock.
Yet there is no question but that great
improvements have been made and are
still being made in all branches Of
farm work.
The use of improved machinery, tha
keeping Of better stock, better feeding.
better water, better crops, better gen.
eral appearance of farms. all bear evi-
dences that farmers are making adj
vances.
At the same time there il plenty of
room for greater improvement, and in
no section are the possibilities greater
than in the South anC Southwest. Acres
Of land not yet in cultivation. much
that is not yielding what under proper
management the soil is capable Of, sf-
ford plenty Of room for better advance
ment.
Too often We get into q rut and stay
there. Repea*sd!y following one plan
We fall into habit that in many cases
ia difficult to get out Of. and often,
when from the experience Of others.
We might make changes that would be
for the better, yet We fail to improve.
Much Of this is the result of careless
ness more than any thing else. Let q
newcomer make start in the neigh
borhood. il he is q man of energy. and

FARMING IN YucATAN.

A Novel Thrashlng MneIsius That He
sembles . Home Made Bedsteatl.
One of the finest haciendas in all
Yucatan is that of Xcaahakan. its great
stone buildings. incloscd within bas-
toned walls. looking moro like the pal
ace of some feudal lord than latter
day residence in republican America.
Nearly one thousand men and women
are employed upon the estate, and its
cattle yards, water tanks and other
accessories are all on the largest and
most substantial scale. The system Of
agriculture in Yucatan is as primitive
as can be imagined. Besides hemp and
sugar, which the Indians seldom at
tempt to raise ON their own account,
the principal products of the country are
com and beans. If we except garlic.
which grows without cultivation.
hardly enough vegetables are raised to
supply the people. Calabazas ara
grown "a cross between a pumpkin and
. squash). few camolis. which seem
like second cousins to our potatoes,
and chill without limit A little cotton
is cultivated here and there. and sugar
in q limited way. for all the best sugar
lands are in that section now monopo-
lied by the savage Chan Santa Cruz
ans.
Corn is the great staple. and the cul-
tivation of it differs little from the
system followed by the Indians before
the conquest. During the dry season,
generally in January Or February. q
place is selected in the woods from
which the trees are cut down and
burned. The corn is planted in May
OF June by making little holes in the
ground with a pointed stick. putting Z
lew grains into each. and covering
them over. Once in the ground It Il

the only agricultural implement used
in Yucatan is the machete-a long.
clumsy weapon. which is neither
sword. knife or scythe. but combine
ton of the three, and answering for
everything. from carving meat to cut
ting paths through trackless forests,
and performs surgical operations for
the doctor. as we'll rs murders for tho
highwayman. In this part Of the
world no Indian is ever seen without
his machete. and owing to the stony
face Of the country it serves better in
farming than pillow or harrow.
When it comes to thrashng the corn
a space IS cleared about one hundred
feet square. and along its borders are
hung line of hammocks in which the
Indians sleep all through harvest time,
each hammock having little fire be-
Meath it to drive away mosquitoes and
warm the occupant in the chilly night
air. The thrashing machine is cer-
tainly not an infringement on any
Yankee patent, but looks more like q
homemade bedstead than any thing
else. 1t is rude scaffold say twenty
feet square. made of four upright posts
for corners, with poles dashed to them
horizontally three or four feet from the
ground and across layer Of strong
sticks placed side by side. The par
allel sticks serve as y thrashing floor.
on which the corn is spread. On each
side rests short ladder, and on each
ladder stands nearly naked Indian,
pole in hand, beating the corn with all
his might. The grain falls through,
and at each corner. under the elevated
floor, man sweeps off the cobs with
broom made of brushes. the shelled
corn being afterward taken up in
baskets and carried to the hacienda.
Where men are plenty and labor counts
for next to nothing. probably this proc
ess answers as well as the best thrash
ing machines ever invented.-C0r.
