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 100000 acres of
which it is made up were purchased seven
years ago from the State of Louisiana and
from the United States government by a
syndicate of Northern capitalists, by which
it is now farmed. At that time it was
vast grazing ground for few dealers in
the neighborhood, there being 80, 900 head
of cattle and horses upon it. This immense
tract Of land 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 cot
ton All the cultivating, ditching, etc,
are done by steam power, tract of about
half mile wide being taken and an engine
placed on each side.
The engines are portable and work a
cable attached to four plows, the area
plowed in this way, with the labor of only
three men, being thirty acres. Narrowing,
sowing, etc., are done in the same way, aud
there is not a single draught 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
by thirty-six miles of the Southern Pacific
Railway. The company has three steam
boats upon 300 miles of navigable water
which traverse their estate, and also pos
sess a ship-yard, bank and rice mills.

Transparent Glass Bricks.

For some time past transparent lass
bricks have been let into the walls to afford
light at places where window would inter
fere with the architectural plan. But now
it is proposed to cast glass, not necessarily
transparent, into large blocks of buildings.
This material is practically indestructible,
perfectly non absorbent apd, therefore,
damp-proof in manner which few bricks
are, and in this way coarse g lass of this
kind could be made nearly as cheap as con-
crete, stone or baked clay.
4 plan has also been put into practice by
which broken glass of various colors is
mixed up, placed in moplas lined with
silica, tale or some other resisting material
and fired. The result is firmly coherent
mass, which can be dressed and cut into
blocks, which are, of course, irregularly
colored, and may be employed in place of
artificial marble If decorative effects are
desired designs in relief can be obtained by
pressure while the block or slab is still
plastic.

Dakota's Pump snake-A Lie.
From Fire and Water.


In central Dakota. on the "Missouri
bottoms" there exists one OF nature S
strongest freaks. The settlers term it the
.spump snake" How ii came there and
where it came from is yet unknown. IL
first made its appearance in EmmOns coun-
tv in the springtime of 1886. A full
grown pump snake measures about sixteen
feet in length and about three inches III
diameter. They are of gregarlous habits,
roaming the prairies in large herds, as
many as 800 having been counted In
single flock.
In dissecting one Of these reptiles there
is found tube, which extends from the
root of the jaw to the extremity OF the tai
and terminates in an opening. This tube
is about two inches in diameter and lined
with a tough, yielding substance similar to
rubber. The pump snake is easily trained
to answer the call Of man. The inhabi-
tants of this section trap them in large
numbers.
A farm on Cat Tail creek has flock of
twenty pump snakes trained to a remark
able degree of proficiency. At the blast
of whistle the snakes assemble on the
banks OF the creek. The leader there Is
always leader to herd of these snak es,
who is elected by two-thirds majority
dashes into the water of the creek, leaving
only the extremity of its tail on the bank.
Another snake Immediately grasps the
end of the leaders tail in its jaws, third
snake takes hold of the second snakes tail
in similar manner, and so on, extending
to the water troughs in the cattle yards,
300 feet away. The leading snake begins
to swallow or pump the water OF the creek,
which passes through the long line OF
snakes as it would through hose, and
falls in heavy stream into the trough.
The agriculturist told of an extraordinary
circumstance which occurred a short time
AGO. While working in the field near his
home he observed flames issuing from the
roof of his barn. Wild with excitement
he hurried to the burning building, only to
see that it was a hopeless task for himself
alone to attempt to extiuguish the flames.
In despair he gazed on the destruction.
Suddenly he heard loud rustliug in the
tall prass. whence issued his herd of pump
snakes on the run. The leader hurled
himself into the creek, the rest instantly
adjusting themselves heads and tails from
the creek to the burning building,
The last snake, standing on its head
waved its long and flexible body, from the
tail of which issued stream Of water that
was thrown with terrific force on the burn
ing building. Back and forth dashed the
tail end of the living hose, squirting the
water where it would do the most good,
while the loud pumping of the leader could
be heard above the roar Of the coniagra-
ton. Within fifteen minutes the last spark
was out. Then, and not until then, did
the pump snakes quit work. They were
completely exhausted, the leader having
tainted dead away
The main part Of the building and its
contents were saved, thanks to the presence
of mind of these wonderful snakes.

Profit in Pig Feeding.

4 profit on pork is only made under
favorable circumstances Most farmers
think they always get profit on the fat
pigs sold, bat they are mistaken. Ii they
bought the feed given to the pigs, or ac-
counted for it at market prices, the balance
would in many cases, if not in the majority,
be on the side of loss. OF course, these
exceptions will not occur where house Stops
and the sour milk are made the chief food
for the greater portion of the time. When
the dairyman charges the best of the milk
TO the COW, then the margin of profit on
the pig is increased in proportion to the
value of the milk in making growth in the
pig. Farmers often gauge their profits by
regarding whatever they feed out of their
own raising, as costing nothing. L have
known them to feed out IA crib of corn to
pigs, and the pigs did not bring any more
when sold than the corn was worth. The
milk frosa the dairy and the house Stops
were also consumed, and a great deal of time.
A plain observer who knew the facts
would say: "Hogs thus managed will not
Zurich half acre They might do it if
they were managed right, and in fact enrich
several acres. 10 do this there should be
a yard for pigs to run in, and this should
be covered with muck, sods, or loose earth,
litter, etc, so that all of the juices would
be absorbed. and the excrement thoroughly
sntermingled with the muck or other mate
rial SO that the volatile gases would be
absorbed. These materials for absorption
should be replenished from time to time. L
never made any money ont of pigs always
shut up in pen, aud do not believe other
people can. have realized profit when
the pigs ran in clover or orchard grass
field and made a considerable portion Of
their growth on grass or other cheap feed.
Now, il my neighbor who feeds out his
sold corn in the pen to his pigs, would
calculate ahead and have nice range for
his hogs, where they could get good
share of their living, and then give them a
part of the corn, he would Increase his
profits.
WELL" he says, they will not grow as
fast. nor weigh so much" am not sure
but they will grow as fast. \ pig likes a
variety of food. lie will thrive on grass
alone when no other food is provided. \
pig wintered over will get fat on green
clover or fresh growing orchard grass. \
little grain will make proportionately more
growth when pig runs in II field than
when it is confined in a pen.
Suppose pig will not weigh more than
half as much when it ruHs out, and helps
itself, as it would if shut up il pen and
fed all of the corn it would eat; it does not
cost half as much, and the flesh is a hun.
bred times better food. do dot wish to
eat pigs shut up all summer in foul pen
and stuffed with corn. 1t is an unnatural
and sickly condition for pig which loves
pure air and the food incident to free
life. He may not weigh as much. 1t is
not question of weight but of health and
profit. If two hundred pounds cost all ii
will bring, and one hundred costs only
half, which is the most profitable?

How to Inculcate Gossiping.

If you wish to cultivate gossiping,
meddling, ceDsorous spirit in your children
be sure when they come home from church,
a visit or any Other place where you do not
accompany them, to ply them with ques-
tions concerning what everybody wore, hoy
everybody looked and what everybody said
and did, and if you find anything in this
to censure always do it in their hearing.
You may rect assured, if you pursue a
course of this kind, they will not return to
you unladen with intelligence, and rather
than it should be uninteresting they will
by degrees learn to embellish in such a
manner us shall not fail to call forth re-
marks and expressions OF wonder from you.
You will by this course render the spirit
of curiosity, which, is so early visible in
children, aud which, if rightly directed,
may be the instrument Of enriching and
charging their minds-a vehicle of mis-
chief which will serve only to make them
narrow and mean.

Why Mules Out-last Horses,
American sportsm an.

American SpOEIsluhn-
The chief reason why mule can nearly
always wear out horse, when it comes to
u trial of endurance, is that the former al
ways lie down to sleep, and the latter, in
many cases, sleeps standing up. The habit
seems to have come to horses that have
been hurt, especially in the stable, and they
cannot be broken of it. Besides the alb
seuce of proper rest and the constant danger
of heavy fall and consequent injury, this
habit of standing up to go to sleep results
in the giving away of the front knees, and
Giycs the animal prematurely aged and
crippled condition. A walk through any
large stable ut night will show number of
horses standing up, but fast asleep. and
whether these use three or four legs to
stand upon, the knees of the fore logs are
all baggy. With mule, of course, it is
quite different, for Jack lies down the
moment be finds work is really over, and a
somnambulistic mule is seldom, if ever met.

A simple and excellent plan to preserve
and strengthen the eyes is this: Every
morning pour some cold water into your
washing bowl; at the hottom of the bowl
place silver coin or some bright object,
then put your face into the water with the
eyes open and fixed on the object at the
bottom, move your head from side to side
gently, and you will find that this morning
bath will make your eyes brighter and
stronger and preserve them beyond the
ordinary allotted time.
