Mr. Galbraith has recently established an
experimental farm at Rincon. from which
the officials and employees of the road are
supplied with vegetables, and, what LIS more
important II furnishes an object lesson to
the natives, who do not have the slightest
knowledge OF gardening. The soil will pro-
duce prolific crops ofseverything that grows.
but the natives merely poke the seeds in
the ground and let the plants take care of
themselves, thus realizing only about half
the results that they are entitled to. Mr..
Galbrairh is trying to educate them to APP
ply their labor more intellisently and eco
nomically, and cultivate their gardens In q
practical manner.
