A NATURAL KITCHEN
Eggs Cooked ir the Hot Springs
OF Mexico.
Heated Waters Have Been Known for
Their Medicinal and Curative
Properties Since Country
Was First Explored.

Candelaria. Mex-One OF the most
remarkable groups OF hot springs in
the world is situated on the Mexi-
can side OF the Rio Grande near here
There are scores OF these bub-
bling streams OF water flowing
from the rock formation and
into a gulch that empties into
the Rio Grande. The waters OF these
springs have been known for their
medicinal and curative properties
from the time Of the first exploration
and settlement OF Mexico. Thousands
Of afflicted people have made pilgrim
ages TO this remote region and sought
the benefits OF the thermal springs.
Notwithstanding the fact that they are
situated in an almost inaccessible To-
cality and can only be reached by an
overland journey of more than 90
miles from the nearest railroad point
there is never a time that health
seekers may not be found camping at
the place.
There are no accommodations al
the springs for visitors and many are
the primitive and crude devices that
are rugged up TO obtain the benefit OF
the waters. Frequently visitors con-
struct crude adobe rooms over one
OF the springs and use them for sweat
boxes. The bath tubs usually consist
OF digging a hole in the ground and
letting II fill with the hot water, the
health seeker taking his outdoor bath
In that water perhaps a canvass for
canopy to keep out the blazing sun.
There is not such a thing as a hotel
or eating house within many miles OF
the place. The visitors must bring
their own supplies and live next to ma
ture during their stay. whether IL be
brief or greatly prolonged.
The waters OF these springs are said
to be good for many chronic ills. That
a great number OF cures that are lit
tie short OF marvellous have taken
place as a result of drinking and bath
ing in them is a matter OF common

PROFIT IN SHEEP
Feeder Sheep and Lambs Are
Now Cheap.
GOOD MONEY IN PROSPECT
A seIf-Evident Proposition.

Good growing stock Of any kind that
is selling below the cost OF production
is always a safe investment. IL the
purchaser is prepared 10 take good
care OF II.
He who buys and develops such
stock is almost certain TO make a
good profit in doing so. because pro-
duction will not long continue at a
loss. while consumption OF staples
must go on steadily.
Not many others are buying such
stock. or else II would not be selling
so cheaply. and It follows logically
and consistently that when IL has
been grown and finished for market,
there will then be comparative
scarcity OF such finished stock and
such good prices will be realized for 1t
that handsome profit will result from
the deal
This reasoning is self-evident, and
applies with especial emphasis to the
present situation in feeder sheep and
lambs.
Last years conditions are now re
versed. Then nearly everybody was
crazy 10 feed sheep and lambs, and
an immense number were sold and
shipped to the country at about the
highest prices on record. This to-
gether with an enormous corn crop
OF high feeding value. q world OF
perfectly cured roughage and splen-
did winter feeding season were fac
tors that combined to produce a heavy
supply Of fat sheep and lambs for
market during the early part OF this
year. while retailers of meats held
up prices 10 consumers. so that con-
sumption was limited. with the nat
ural and logical result of low prices
and feeders losses In most instances.
In consequence OF last years I'M
profitable experience and present
scarcity OF grass and hay, most farm
ers and many professional feeders OF
sheep and lambs are now avoiding the
market. and very few are being ship
ped TO the country. while prices are
the lowest since 1904. In fact, feed
er sheep and lambs are selling on the
market today for less than the cost OF
production.
These facts mean that early next
year there will be a scarcity OF fat I
sheep and lambs at market. and COM /
paratively high prices will prevail. \
Those who have the nerve TO go con-
trary 10 the crowd and invest in good.
thin but thrifty feeder sheep and
lambs at the present low price. Will
have no cause 10 regret their enterpris-
Ing independence when they come to
market them In finished condition.
The concensus of opinion o. the
best minds in the trade is that since
both prices for feeding stock and pros
poets for fat stock are much better
than they were last year, therefore the
opportunities for profit are CORE
spondingly better. In fact, the whole
situation Is the reverse OF last year.
Now is the time to buy because
range conditions are such that most
OF the sheep and lambs VIII come 10
market from the range regions ready
for slaughter. while fewer of the feed
er classes will be marketed during the
Of this year. and the supply
will not equal the probable Fall de
mand, so that prices are likely to be
higher in October and No
vember.
