WEST PORTAGE,

thirteen miles south OF Samaria, pre-
sided over by Bishop o. C. Hoskins, is a
pleasant place. The number of inhabi-
tants Is 432, and a more peaceabIe
happy, industrious and mind-your-owp-
business community it would BIZ hard to
hnd. The evidences OF their perseyer-
ance are many and, considering the
difficulties they had to contend with in
the early settlement of the town. note
worthy. A new Westinghouse has
Just been built, but is not vet finished
although in use. 1t is 60 x 80 feet,
constructed of lumber and hard finished
inside. a branch of the Y. G. NJ. l.,
Superlntended by J. D. Gibbs, is doing
a hourlshlng trade. The dwellings of
the people are neat and substantial and
lees OF many varieties give the visitor
view or cosy, comfortable country
village. But the greatest achievement
among the many accomplished by the
hardy POrtagers is their canal, which
conveys lrrigating water from Samana
lake, distance of thirteen miles. Part
OF the way tits humed. The Ootal cost
has been between SIS, 900 and SIG 600.
Its value Will never be estimated, as the
land brought under cultivation by it's
good sized stream, will embrace thou
sands of acres. The water for
the town is obtained in bounte.
Gus supply from couple of
large springs in the hills to the north
west. Considerable fruit is grown here,
the bishop himself engaging extensively
in the cultivation of choice varieties of
apples, peaches, plums, etc. One apple
just picked, measured 11X inches in
circumference. The only serious draw
back is the lack of big timber; there's
plenty of small wood close by; but
material for building has to be hauled q
distance of forty miles. from the saw
mills up on the Little Malad.

"What has become of the toothsOme
spare rib we used to hear so much about
in our infancy repeated a Madison
street butcher as he boosted a hind quar-
ter of beef upon a block The spare rib,
my friend, has been tatoOed in the north.
For years and years it was looked upon
with high favor as a dainty mOrscl for n
Sunday dinner and Thanksgiving feast,
but of late years there has been little or
no demand for the 'supcrtIuOus bone.
The rest of the pOrRer, however, finds
ready sale in our markets Throw the
spare ribs away Oh, bless you, no.
Ever hear of butcher flinging anything
away? No, no The spare RIBS are shipped
south by the car load, where they are
highly priced by the negro. Being almost
as succulent and savory as pnssum or
coon, the cGlorcd people have little trouble
in ekeing out a pretty fair sort Of living
off the despised rib, which is sold TO them
at very moderate price. ."-Chicago

The Largest Farm In the World.

In the extreme southwest corner Of
Louisiana lies the largest producing farm
In the world. Itruns 100 miles north and
south and twenty five miles east and west,
and is owned and operated by a syndicate
Of northern capitalists. Their general
manager, J. b. Watkins, gives an inter
esting account of this gigantic plantation,
which throws the great Dalrymple farm
Of Dakota into the shade completely
He was cornered by a reporter at the St
James hotel last night and asked to give
the particulars Of his gigantic enterprise.
The million and half acres Of land in
our tract" " Mr. Watkins said. was pur-
chased in 1888 from the safe of Louisiana
aud from the United States government
At that time 1t was vast grazing land
for the cattle of the few dealers of the
neighborhood When took possession |
found over 30. 900 head of half wild horses
and cattle Ny first work was to divide
the immense tract into convenient pas
lures, establishing stations on ranches
every six miles The fencing alone cost
in the neighborhood of $50, 600, The land
| found to be best adapted to rice, sugar,
corn and cotton.
"All our cultivating, ditching, etc, is
done by steam power. we ta%e tract,
say half mile wide for instance, and
place an engine at each side These en-
gines are pOstable and operate cable
attached TO four plOws, and under this
arrangement we are enabled To plow thirty
acres a day with only the labor of three
men. Our narrowing, planting and other
CultivatinG is done in like manner. In
fact there is not draught horse on the
entire place. We have, of course, horses
for the herders Of cattle, Of which we now
have 16, 600 head. The Southern Pacific
railroad runs for thirty-siN miles through
our farm. We have three steamboats,
operating on the waters of our ows estate
upon which there are 800 miles of navl
gable waters. We have an ice factory, 0
bank, a shipyard aud rice mill. Nib

Unfortunate King Otto.

Cay King Otto Of Bavaria still remains
confined within the grounds of his royal
prison Of TUrstenried. He reads all the
newspapers he can get hold of with
avidity, but of course the doctors take
care nothing reaches his hands which
shall tend 10 upset his mental equilibrium
and make him excited. He takes great
interest in the royal kitchen, and often
times slips down stairs into the culinary
department. examines the pots and pans,
and now and again experiments in the
concoction of tidbits and dainty dishes
with more or less success. Quite recently
he burned his fingers while engaged in
this somewhat unkingly pursuit. The poor
fellow Is very anxious to see his capital,
and when he, while driving in the grounds
Of the palace, catches glimpse of the
spires and chimneys of Munich he i'm
piores the servants TO take him there
But they have strict orders from the
medical staff to do nothing Of the kind,
and so they are compelled TO take no
notice of their royal masters entreaties.

Ready Cooked Sunday Meals.

The cOmmonest sight OF early Sunday
morning in the cheaper quarters of an
English city is the people carrying their
dinners to the bakers 10 De cooked in theil
ovens. When the last batch of bread 10
drawn the ovens are filed with joints and
poultry. which are delivered, at a moder-
ate price, piping hot for the table. Years
ago, in smaller communities, the practice
was observed here, but never eucoun-
tered it in New York until the other
Sunday. 1t was on the east side, in a
pOpulous tenement district, that | came
on procession Of women, girls and boys
carrying all styles and sizes of baking
dishes into a bakery. The economy Of
the practice is obvious. II saves the
building and the keeping of a fire and the
trouble of homework on what is possibly
the no lsewife's one holiday of the week
The baker told me that he does brisk
trade in dinner cooking in hot weather
When the mercury becsmes dispirited and
fires become necessity, the business eX-
pcriences a sensible diminutiOn, but there
is still considerable of it going the year
round
The providing of ready cooked meals is
another growing trade. The cooked meat
shop is as notable feature Of Paris as
the bakery dinner is of England. 1t has
existed and thriven here for q long while,
principally by the patronage of the French
and German population. Latterly, how
ever, it has taken a wider popularity
among the natives One dealer in cooked
meats now runs several shops In various
parts OF the city, and new men in the
business are constantly springing up.
Many people who live in flats rely on these
shops for the solid portions Of their meals,
only cooking vegetables or fancy dishes
at home. II does not save any money
directly, probably, but fancy it is made
10 serve the purpose Of dispensing with
servant. and so is a definite gain in the
long run. ALFRED Trumble in New York
