cargo mules for work and carrying rubber, 

 twenty yoke of oxen, with sheep, goats, poul- 

 try and pigs. 



Numerous dogs and monkeys are on friendy 

 terms, and an endless chatter is kept up by the 

 parrots, macaws and other bright-plumaged 

 birds that contribute to the life of this quaint 

 plantation village. 



The population on the Zacualpa Properties, 

 including men, women and children, is over 

 1,500. In building homes for these people 

 the same plan has been carried out as that 

 generally employed in Mexican towns, the 

 buildings being situated on plazas, or squares. 



Owing to the fact that a continuous stream 

 of visitors is arriving at our plantation from all 

 parts of the world, a small hotel has been 

 erected for the accommodation of strangers, as 

 their entertainment at the administration build- 

 ing has become a burden.
