Twenty Miles of Flame.

SANDWICH, Mass, May 20.-A terri ble forest fire which started at Kelley's sawmill, Fremont, Monday, has all ready done incalculable damage to property. Driven by a terrific north west wind in the direction of Parker's mills, and then toward White Island pond and Half Way pond, the most valuable cranberry land in the world, at present, it has covered an area of land more than twenty miles long and from three to six miles in width, and totally destroyed an immense area of valuable woodland.
 The loss cannot be estimated with any degree of accuracy, as the men sent into the cranberry district to flood the bogs have not as yet returned, and it is feared that they have had hard work to escape from the fury of the flames with their lives.

Pear Culture in Arkansaa.

The pear tree grows as naturally in Arkansas as the pine or cypress, yet but little has been done in the state in the way of producing this most excellent fruit for market. The climate is ad- mirably adapted to it's growth, and the soil possesses all the chemicals re- quired for it's development. In various parts of the state tests have been made by experienced fruit growers to ascer- tain what could be done in the line of producing choice pears, and the result has been highly gratifying. It has been demonstrated that as high grade pears can be produced here as apples and peaches. Samples of this fruit are on exhibition at the office of the commis- sloner of agriculture in Little Rock, which for size and symmetry challenge comparison with any product of its kind in the world, showing that with intelligent and skillful culture the pear attains the highest development and will in time become an important and indeed one of the leading factors of our fruit product. At present many of the pear trees scattered here and there throughout the state are seedlings many of advanced age-but it is seldom they fail to produce a fair crop. As rule they receive little or no attention, either as regards pruning or fertilizing, yet they continue regularlyto bear an annual crop.
 Ashes and lime are exceedingly valu- able fertilizers for the pear, and salt in moderate amount sown broadcast in the spring around the tree as far as the roots extend. A good location for pear oHhard is a northern slope on loamy SOIL with clay subsoil. and if these nave gravel intermingled or rest upon a porous shady base so much the better. II the land has not good natural drain age and you cannot furnish it by good uhoer or surface drainage, you had oetter not set pear trees there, for they VIII be unhealthy, dwarfed and die soon.
 :. fears on suitable soils and best loca- .iohs are very long lived Coles Amer cah Fruit Book gives instances of pear trees now in vigorous life and bearing 'nat are from 50 to several hundred years old One in England is men, uoned, the branches of which have 'eht down and taken root until it now covers half an acre of land.

FEATURES OF ARKANSAS.

 state-Healthful Cities.
and Reduction of County Indebted ,e.s-Peach and Pear Culture.

r,o climate of central Arkansas is
 =. marked by wide extremes nor sud sSn % changes, either in summer or win .s- If is rarely the temperature goes shove q5 degrees in the heated term or ss,ov 20 degrees above zero in mid
 ,:,,er months. It is fact of history ,at the summers are scarcely once in decade attended with a drouth, and sover in the history of the state has .here been total failure of crops on .ocount of dry weather, or in fact for suv cause. The surface of the country ,s varied. presenting hills, uplands and .allevs. interlaced with the tributaries .f the Arkansas, Ouachita and White rivers. with the eastern portion level and undulating. The soil is as varied ;r ouality as in topography and color
 There is tEe black soil, the loamy and sandy and also the red land-all fertile, some exceedingly rich, and all produc- tive of grain. fruit or vegetables of come kind. A bale of cotton or 50 bush- els of corn to the acre is a yield which ;s almost as certain as time on the val lev lands if it be properly cultivated, while the uplands and slopes are as re- liable for a remuneratiue crop if the nlanting and tillage are timely and dis cretely performed. But owing to long seasons the farmer can base his hopes upon second crop in the event the first one fails in part. In an article de- scriptive of Nevada county, one of the southerp counties of Central Arkansas, awriter says: Some of the wonderful things produced by Nevada county soil in 1895 was corn 20 feet tall, and 9 feet to the first ear. Stalks with full grown ears of corn have been raised. 4 tomato that weighed 43 ounces, pears that weighed , pounds, Irish potatoes that would average pound for every potato in a bushel, ears of corn IA inches long oats feet tall, and numer- ous productions of similar kinds have been raised in the county the present year." Of course, the products enum- erated were selected from the best, showing the exceptions rather than the rule, but they may be taken as evil dences of what the soil of that region is capable of producing when weather conditions are favorable and the hus- bandman performs his part inteIli- gently and industriously.

What is True of Little Rock Is Also Tru.
 :Ls to Other Sections of the State.
 The death rate in Little Rock during the month of April, according to the re- port of Dr. Milton Vaughan, the city physician, was 36-17 being white and 19 colored persons. Thirteen of these deaths resulted from causes which the most skillful members of the medical profession could not have removed. Little Rock bears the reputation of being the most healthful city of its size in the Union. It was so even during the many years 1t had no sewer system. When Federal troops were located here there were fewer deaths among the sol- diers at the Arsenal in proportion to the number than at any army post in the United States The city has natural drainage, the water is pure, and much attention is given by the authorities to the enforcement of sanitary laws. Those who take reasonable care of their health in Little Rock never suffer any on account of sickness. There are many families in the city who have been living here for years who have never re- ceived professional visit from physi. elan, Dr. Vaughan calls the attention to the prevalence of tubercular and pulmonary diseases among the colored population. As a rule these dread dis eases are confined to the lower class of colored people who are totally ignorant of those laws of nature which the best physically preserved members of the human family must observe in order to preserve their health. Seven deaths of persons ot this character occurred dur ing the month of April. There were four from accident and violence, one from old age and two that came into the world dead. The remaining deaths were due to ordinary complaints, origi- mating from natural causes and not in any way superinduced by climatic in- fluences The general health of the city was never better than it is at pres ent, notwithstanding the fact that in this section of the country the season of spring is usually considered more un- healthy than any of the others. If there is anything in the old saying that as long as person is healthy he ought to be happy, the people of Little Rock should be freer of care and should have more to be thankful for than those of any city in the land. There are fewer suicides in Little Rock than elsewhere. Life is worth living in Little Rock, and 1t is only those who are naturally un- appreciative of the blessings to be de- rived from good health that are fond of complaining. Little Rock is health resort every month in the year. There are springs within a half hours ride of the central portion of the city that cure many diseases, the weather is never too cold or too warm, the air is pure and fresh and never laden with poisonous malarial germs, and the result is the people are healthy and the death rate, as shown by Dr. Vaughans report lower always than those of any city of similar size in this or any other country.

Peaches and Peach Lands in ark,ns

The whole state of Arkansas. $ save tne Southern Farmers Guide. ssis n peaeh country. From the earliest days o1 the settlement of the territory fine seeding peaches have flourished and borne beautiful fir lit bv the side of every farm house throughout the en- tire state, but in commercial way in- terest seems at present to center in three different localities, namely. Hampstead and the adjacent counties Ill the southwest, Drew county in the southeast, and Crawford and Franklin counties in the northwest Other coun- ties may ultimately prove to be full as desirable locations as these. but for the present these are recognized as the leading peach district.
 Any soil adapted to the growth of corn Is said to be good for the peach: yet, upon investigation, rich friable loam, with well drained red clay sub. soll, seems to produce the best results; elevated sites, or the presence of bodies of water near by, lessening the danger of injury by late frosts, are desirable. Sandy soils are not objectionable where they are enriched by the application of ashes or marls, as is done in the famous peach lands of New Jersey"
 Peach trees in this state bear early and are as long lived as in any part of the Union. At three years from setting out trees usually produce good crop, and when in full bearing the best vari- etles yield at the rate of 300 to 400 bushels to the acre. Choice early peaches bring s1 to g per bushel net. A single crop from an orchard of ten acres yields an income of s4,oOO to 5000. A. w. Poole, an expert fruit grower at Ozark, this state, has peach trees in his orchard which bore fruit in 1892 and 1893 that sold at prices equal to S1 ,600 per acre.

 BELLEFoNTE, Pa., May 2o-Never in the history of central Pennsylvania has this section of mountainous coun- try been overrun with such a disas- trous fire as that which has been rag ing in Center and adjoining counties for the past three or four days. Hun- dreds of thousands of acres of tim ber- land have been burned, entailing a loss which can not even be predicted in dollars and cents.
 L The seven mountains to the south of Bellefonte have been burned for a dis tance of fully 25 miles, at one time the entire mountain being sheet of flames, for fully ten miles. Fully g. 900 men and boys have been hard at work since Saturday night in the vain endeavor to put out the fire. All that was done, however, was to keep it con- fined to the mountain sides.
 In Cleartield county, closely adjoin- ing Center. the fire has done equal damage, If not more, in the destruc- tion of not only vast amount of tim Der, but in the burning of number of logging camps and sawmills, with thousands of feet of sawed lumber. And the most distressing feature is that the end is not yet, as the fire con- tinues to rage with unabated fury and there seems no possible way of com- batting it without a heavy rain

One of the strongest arguments that can be presented of the thrift and gen. eral prosperity of our citizens is the steady decrease of county indebtedness. The third biennial report of the com missioner of agriculture for 1894 shows a decrease of county indebtedness from 1880 to 1890 of 49 per cent. This shows both thrift on the part of the people and prudence on on the part of county officials.
