Largest Farm in the World.


In the extreme southwest corner of LOUISE
analies thelargest producing farm in the world,
measuring 100 miles north and south, and
twenty-five miles east and west. 1t is owned
and operated by syndicate of Northern capt.
talists. The 100000 acres of the tract were
purchased in 1883 from the State of Louisiana
and from the United States government. AT
that time it was vast grazing land for the cat
tie of the few dealers of the neighborhood,
over 10000 head of half-wild horses and cattle
being thereon. Now this immense tract is di-
vided into convenient pasture stations, or
ranches, existing every six miles. The fencing
alone cost in the neighborhood of $50, 900. The
land is best adapted for rice, sugar, corn and
cotton All cultivating, ditching, etc, is done
by steam power. A tract, say, half a mile
wide, is taken, and an engine is placed on each
side. The engines are portable and operate a.
cable attached to four plows, and under this
arrangement thirty acres day are gone over
with only the labor ofthree men. Narrowing,
planting and other cultivation is done in like
manner. There is not a single draught horse
on the entire place. Of course, horses are used
for the herders of cattle, of which there are 49,
900 head. The Southern Pacific Railway runs
for thirtysix miles through the farm. The
company have three steamboats, operating on
the waters of their estates, of which there are
300 miles navigable. They have also an ice
house, bank, a shipyard and rice mill.

HOW THE FARMERS STAND.

An deliberately planned canvass to ascertain
the opinions of farmers throughout the coun-
try on certain practical, economic and political
questions has been conducted on an extensive
scale for the past three months by the agricul-
tural press ofSpringfeld, Mass. Nearly 10000
cards have been received answering these ques-
tions:
1. Is the silo system worthy of general adop-
ton?
2. What is the greatest need in the dairy?
3. What is most needed in beef production?
4. In sheep husbandry what advice most
needs to be followed?
5. What change or improvement is most
needed in horse-breeding.
6. (a.) Is federal aid to agricultural colleges
and experiment stations wise policy? (b.)
Should the rudiments ofthe agricultural science
be taught in the public schools?
Z. (a) Will the new tariff help American
farming as a whole? (b.) Will the proposed
reciprocity with South America benefit our
farmers? (c) Will reciprocity with Canada
help the farmers of the United States
s. Would it be wise to suspend the home
stead pre- emption laws, withdrawing from sale
or occupancy all public lands for agricultural
and grazing purposes. for period OF years, in
the hope that population and consumption
might catch up with production and thus re-
lieve agricultural depression?
8. (a) Should government own and operate
the telegraph? d. Should government own
the railroads?
10. srTOrIfcr
cratic nominees for the presidency in 1892.
Mote that the question is who should be, not
who will be, our idea being to draw out the
farmers views as to the best men for the presi-
dency, rather than to guess who the politicians
may try to put up.l
To the last question QO) Blaine is in the lead
with the Republicans. He has Sc, 200 votes to
31,O13 for Harrison and 20, TAG for Rusk. With
the Democrats Cleveland is the choice. He re-
ceived II, 1877 votes, Hill 7,11S and Hatch H.
oS2. There were s,sO3 scattering Republican
votes and 16903 scattering Democratic.

Jay Cookies Recovered Fortune.
CHICAGO Post


The last dividend to those who were caught
in the Jay Cooke & Co. disaster in 1873 has at
last been paid. The obligations for which Jay
Cooke & Co. were held amounted to Sc, 451 900,
and upon this 154 per cent has been paid. 1t
is said that Jay Cooke has accumulated an
other fortune of between $1,000, 900 and SO, OOO,-
900. He has little back office in the building
in Philadelphia where his banking house was
formerly located. He is engaged in railroad
and mining enterprises, which each year yield
a handsome addition to his repaired fortune.
He is a man of great energy, and the crash of
1873 did not rob him of his ambition. His
hair and beard are now snow white, but his
face is ruddy and his step is elastic. He is q
familiar figure in Philadelphia, with his long
black cloak and his light broad brimmed soft
felt hat. Mr.. Cookies feet are encased in cloth
shoes that are a combination of Chinaman's
slippers and an Indians moccasins. He wears
these shoes because he cannot endure leather
ones. After his failure Mr.. Cooke did not lose
faith in Northern Pacific. Friends loaned him
money, with which he bought from The estate
and turned over to creditors a large block of
common shares of the road at 81 or 50 each.
He held on to the stock until it had got up in
the neighborhood of $50. He realized enough
by this one purchase to provide a fund for flu
ture operations. He next became interested in
the Big Horn silver mine which he sold out
for between Sc, 900 900 and s., 100000 realizing
for his own part of the transaction about ST.

of one who thoroughly understands his subject,
Mr.. Remington discusses our relations with
the Indians and the gross mismanagement of
the Interior Department, and proposes prac-

for the present wholly unsatisfactory system
of governmental control.

probable early extension of similar system of
treatment to most of the other diseases that are
caused by bacilli, such as diphtheria, typhoid

In HIS argument ON Monday on the demurrer
of the defense in the case against the bonds
men of ex-State Treasurer Archer, Attorney
General Whyte made some defense of Gov.
Jackson for his connection with the affair.
Of course this is all very well and was to be
expected, but at the same time the people of
this State have their own opinion about Gov
ernor Jackson in regard to this matter. He
has already admitted that he forgot" acer-
tain provision of the constitution relating to
the Office of State Treasurer and this 'forget-
fulness'' ON his part is largely responsible for
placing the bondsmen of Archer in the posi-
ton they are to-day. So the Governor cannot
be held blameless. 1t was his business to know
what the constitution required of him and if
he didn't know it, or knew 1t and forgot it,
he is the man upon whom the blame should
rest
