The Largest Farm ID The World

may imagine but it is in Louisiana. II
Is one bundled miles long by twenty
five wide and contains one million and
five hundred thousand acres. Hereto
fore these large tractsof land have not
been found profitable for farming.
The syndicate that have this in hand
are going to try and cultivate it by
machinery. The hariships that the
farmer undergoes has the effect Of
breaking him down and he suffers
more than any other class with pull
monary complaint. If the farmer will
keep RElD'S GERMAN COUGH

will be astonished to find how easily

First-class Irish potatoes are in the
market now at 81 per hundred. They
come in from the Conejos country by the

The Spatcier Orchard.

The New MEXICAN has received a couple
of baskets Of magnificent grapes from the
orchard and vineyard Of Prof. N. spatcier,
near Las Cruces; the grapes are of the
Malaga, Flaming Tokay, Black Hamburg
and other varieties and are far superior to
the California grapes in flavor, size and
appearance. The Spatcier orchard and
vineyard are among the best kept and
most carefully conducted in the famed
Mesilla valley; the fruit and grapes pro-
duced there are grand. Prof. Spatcier is
a pioneer in the fruit growing business in
that section and his experience, knowl-
edge and carefulness and the rich and
suitable character of the soil in that Sec
ton have combined to bring this about.
The New MEXICAN congratulates him upon
the complete success he has attained.
