MEXICAN STYLE
OF FARMING
Most Primitive Methods of A2r1'
culture Are Still Carried on
IN Many Parts OF the
Old Republic.

(Bv VICE-CONSUL r. M. STADDENJ
The most primitive method OF
farming is still carried on in many
parts of Mexico The blowing Is done
by the old-time bull tongue, which
is a crooked stick with the point Gov
cred with an iron shoe. which only
scratches the soil.
Corn is planted by hand. man fol
lowing the pillow, dropping the seed
and covering it with his foot. 1t fs
cultivated with the same pillow, which
gives very poor results in destroying
the weeds. The fodder is gathered
by pulling the leaves or blades from
the stock, which are made into bun
dies and carried from the fields by
pack mules.
Rice is planted, after the native
pillow has scratched over the land, by
being thrown broadcast. and covered
by hauling a bunch of brush over the
land. When the rice is about one
foot or Is inches high 1t is cut down
with grass hooks; not even scythe
is used for this work. This cutting
back Is said to make the rice grow
more bunchy and enables the rice
plant to get the best of the weeds
whereas, If the land had been proper
ly plowed before planting. there
would be no weeds and this cutting
back would not be necessary. Some
eight or ten days before cutting OF
harvesting time the water is shut of
from the rice fields to allow the rice
to ripen. when 1t is cut with the same
grass hooks. 1t IL then piled up fol

the eight or ten days the field Is dry

This style of farming. withou

through the long list Of crops that ar
raised In that country.

starvation. The latter consists in per-
uniting the cattle and other animals
to continue on the infested pasture
and treating them at regular inter-
walls with oils or other agents destruc-
tive to ticks and thus preventing en-
gorged females from dropping and re-
lnfesting the pasture. The larvae on
the pasture. or those which hatch
from eggs laid by females already
there, will all eventually meet death
Such Of these as get upon the cattle
from time to time will be destroyed by
the treatment. while those which fail
to find a host will die in the pasture
from starvation.
Animals may be freed of ticks In
two ways. They may be treated with
an agent that will destroy all the tick,
present. or they may be rotated al
proper intervals on tick-free fields un
til all the ticks have dropped.

All the cattle should be sprayed

In localities where ticks commonly
occur on cattle In considerable num-
bers during the winter time 1t will be
advisable to continue spraying. In 10
calities where ticks disappear or are
present in very small numbers during
the winter, the cattle should be In
