Nearly every pattern Of IA Horse
Blanket is initiated in color and

looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't the a0ayp threads, and
SO lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu-
inc it isn'tworth one-half as much.
The fact that "a Horse Blankets

that they are THE STANDARD,

The Largest Farm in the world.

There is farm in the southwest of the
state of Louisiana measuring one hundred
miles north and south and twenty-five
miles east and west. The one and half
million acres of which it is made up were
bought seven years ago from the state of
Louisiana and from the United States gov
eminent by a syndicate of northern cap
italists. by which it is now farmed. At
that time it was vast grazing ground for
the cattle of the few dealers i'm the neigh
borhood, there being 10000 head of cattle
and horses upon it. This immense tract
is now divided into convenient pasture
stations, or ranches, the fencing alone
having cost $4,000 The land is best
ADAPTED for rice sugar, corn and cotton
All the cultivating, ditching, etc, are done
by steam power, a tract of about hall
mile wide being taken and an engine
placed on each side. The engines are
portable and work a cable attached TO four
blows, the area plOwed in this way, with
the labor of only three men, being thirty
acres. Narrowing, sowing, etc., are done
i'm the same way, and there is not single
draft horse on the estate. Horses are,
however, used by the herdsmen, who look
after the 10000 head of cattle upon the
estate, which is traversed for 30 miles
by the Southern Pacific railway. The
company has three steamboats, upon the
three hundred miles of navigable waters
which traverse their estate, and also pos
sesses a ship-yard, bank and rice mills.

Growing Fodder Corn.

\ great improvement in methods of
growing corn fodder has been made within
the last 30 years. Once it was always
called ''sOwed corn" and these words i'm
piled the lack of cultivation which all
sowed crops get. Any farmer knows that
corn, more than any other crop, requires
cultivation and good deal of it to get any
grain. 1t equally needs cultivation to pro
duce fodder worth anything The thin
white stalks which thickly sowed corn pro-
duces are poor feed and while cows will
eat them, yet if they give much milk they
must take fat from their reserve stores to
put into it. When drills came into use it
soon became easier to distribute drilled corn
in straight rows, wide enough apart for
cultivation. This produces large, juicy and
sweet stalks and some nubbins of ears. If
the fodder corn has no nubbins on it some
thing is wrong; either the land is too poor,
or more probably the seed has been drilled
in too thickly.
Rich, sweet stalks are of no less import
ance in making ensilage. The richer the
material put into the silo the better will be
the product. In fact, by putting in only
nearly mature corn the fermentation can
be kept down so as to produce a sweeter
ensilage and one that has lost a smaller
proportion of its nutritive value than the
sour, rotten stuff, originally poor, that
comes out almost worthless, and has to be
literally supplemented with grain to make
living ration. 1t is possible to put so
much richness into fodder-corn ensilage
that no grain, or only at most a little bran
or wheat middlings, will be needed to sup
plement it. In giving corn room enough
to spread out and begin caring a greater
weight of stalks can be grown than by
thick sowing, especially when midsummer
drouths cut and scar the sown corn so that
it can barely get into tassel, and is merely
a mass of innutritious leaves.

Judge Blodgett of Chicago. Passes on the
Suit Brought by Marshall Field-He
Affirmed the Decision of the Apprais-
ers-Marshall Field Appeals to the Su-
preme Court.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Judge Blodgett
has decided the case of Marshall Field
& Co. against John NJ. Clark, collector
of custom, involving the validity of the
Mckinley bill. He said:
''rhe best disposition the court can
make of the matter is to affirm the de-
cision of the appraisers at New York,
and allow the case to go directly to the
supreme court. / will say, however,
that the court was much impressed with
the chain of reason advanced by the ap-
pellant, and it might be difficult for the
argument to be mat by the other side.
However, the Mckinley bill has become
the operating mechanism by which the
government collects its duties, and an
adverse decision in this case might seri-
ously disarrange the existing arrange
ment of this service. There should be
finding of facts that this court found
the case of sufficient importance to war
rant an appeal to the supreme court.
An appeal will be prayed at once.

ACCIDENTAL UXORCiDE.
The Old, Old Tale of the Unloaded Pistol
That Contained Deadly Charge.

The Old, Old Tale of the Unloaded Pistol
That Contained Deadly Charge.
ALEXIS, Ala, Feb. 27.-A terrible ac-
cident has occurred here.
Mr.. James johnson, a bailiff Of Chero-
kee county, while fooIng with an old
pistol accidentally shot his wife. Mr..
johnson was handling the pistol when
his wife walked into the room, and not
Knowing that it was loaded, he, in a
playful way, began swapping it at her.
Suddenly there was terrible explo-
sion, and Mrs. johnson fell to the floor
shot through the heart.
AS soon as possible physician was
sent for, but when he arrived it was too
late, as the woman died a short while
after having been shot. The ball en-
tered the broast just above the heart,
and came out behind, near the shoulder.
Mr. johnson is well known here, and
has many sympathizing friends. The
terrible accident weighs so heavily upon
him that he is now almost wild with
grief. Mrs. johnson leaves several chill
dren and many friends to deplore her
untimely death.
