In most cases they are stalled out
with ropes to prevent wandering.
The coast dweller consumes Il Sreat
deal of fish. The waters surrounding
Porto Rico are full of fish Cf many
varieties, and small boats are always
to be seen off the coast. In the la
GoonS and shallow pools, sheltered
by reefs. fishermen wade with cast
ing nets for sardines, sGilfully snar-
ing small schools that enter through
the surf
Yet although there is an abundance
of fish life in Porto Rican waters. the
industry is not highly developed. This
is due chiefly to geological condition.
The waters of the Atlantic and the
Caribbean are very deep within a few
miles OF the shore. Indeed, a short
distance northeast of the island occurs
the greatest of the ocean "deepS. -
only on the submerged ridge con-
Meeting Porto Rico and the Island of
Vieques is there any feeding ground
for the fish. This. however, is not
extensive, and the catch there is not
great enough to warrant a large en-
ployment of fishermen. The bays of
Porto Rico are few and small and no
large schools of fish enter them.
Goldfish Is FavOrite.
Salt Goldfish is a favorite article of
diet with all classes of Porto RicanS.
1t is brought to the island in great
quantities. About s. 900 900 is spent
annually in the Importation of dried
and canned fish foods. Goldfish forms
prime factor in a stew of rice and
beans which is one of the characteriS-
tic dishes of the people.
To illustrate the fondnesS of the
Porto RicanS for their usual diet, the
following incident may be related. The
men of the Porto Ric3n Regiment of
the Regular Army, all recruited from
the island and permanently stationed.
We're from the start of their enlist
ment put upon a balanced ration to
insure their health. Some years ago.
in preparation for the annual Christ
mas dinner, the men We're asked to
vote for their favorite for the princi-
pal item of the menu. They were
given a wide choice, including pork,
turkey, lamb and beef. The vote was
almost unanimous for rice and
beans"
The dairy industry, once flourish
ing, has not amounted to much for a
number of years. Importation of
herds from the States and from South
America has been effected, however,
and now Porto Rico boasts once more
of a splendid stock. Cows milk COM

to rest the rod on the horn-yoke. the
oxen will wait without limit as long
as the stick is there.
Bring High Prices.
These oxen when of good breed and
in prime condition oring high prices
often as much as $500 for a pair. The
live stock equipment of a great cen
trail or sugar plantation represents
an investment of several hundred
thousand dollars. For these oxen are
used not only to till the ground. put
to haul the cane from the neids 10
the loading stations, and even IN
some cases to draw the laden cars tc
the factory.
For the feeding of both the field
animals and the dairy cattle special
grasses have been imported, partlcu-
larly certain African growths, such as
buffalo grass" and elephant grass.
These grow mainly in punches. one
of the common sights in the cities Is
that of a cart loaded with bundles or
these long -bladed grasses, brought In
from the country for the cows.
1t is the ambition of every jibaro
to own a cow. When he has attained
that height of distinction he consid-
ers himself an aristocrat. His house
may have cost only $40 to build, which
is the average price of the hill dwell

in San Juan very seldom tied. Tiny
kids scramble and leap about grace
fully in every direction. Porto Rico
would seem to be ii land of goats.
The theoretical prohibition of these
animals in the cities is due to the
fact that they are no respecters of
gardens. Nor do they observe the
ordinary rules of domestic privacy.
One afternoon, while we were taking
tea at the home of one of Porto
Rico's most distinguished citizens, two
young kids came strolling through
the open door, having wandered in
from the street to see if they might
share the hospitality. They We're
quickly shooed ont, but the incident
provoked no more than an amused
comment by the hostess that those
kids were a perfect nuisance
Tick Menaces Cattle.
A cattle tick menaces the dairy
stock imported from the States and
from South America, and all animals
brought into the country are subject
to tests, dipping and inoculation be-
fore being looSed in the fields. The
native, acclimated cattle withstand
the tick and it's resultant fever. SO
profitable is the dairy business that
many business men have established
dairy farms in the suburban areas,
diversion, but of gratifying increases
TO their incomes.
The use of oxen in the fields and
on the roads for draft purposes and
for tillage strikes the first visitor as
an anachronism. But these great
creatures supply the most effective
motive power. The sugar fields must
be deeply plowed and the tractor is
not well adapted to the conditions.
Here and there in the fiat fields of
the medal plains tractors are to be
seen, but usually the work is done by
oXep, slowly plodding along and yield
ing the deep burrows that the crop
requires.
The oxen are to be constantly met
on the roads, in double and quadrupie
teams. They are bound to the draft
lines by padded arrangements around
their horns. The drivers direct them
by means of slender rods, not for
tiagellatiOn, but for guidance. A light
prod on the shoulder sends them to
one side. In order to halt "A team and
