And today they ask OF their patron Saint,
To bestow on them, without restraint,
Equal blessings with our own America.
For this we ask and sincerely pray,
And hope 1t may come on st. Patrick's Day.

Biggest Farm in the World.
The largest farm in this country,
and probably in the world, is stu
ated in the Southwestern part of
Louisiana. 1t extends 100 miles
North and South, and % miles
East and West. 1t was purchased
in 1883 by a syndicate of North
ern capitalists, by whom it is still
operated. AT the time of its pur-
chase its 1 100000 acres was a vast
pasture for cattle belonging to a
few dealers in that country. Now
it is divided into pasture stations
or ranches, existing every six miles.
The fencing is said to have cost
about $4,000. The land is best
adapted for rice, sugar and cotton.
A tract, say half mile wide, is
taken, and an engine is placed on
each side. The engines are porta-
BILE, and operate cable attached
to four plows BY this arrange
ment thirty acres are gone over in
day with the labor of only three
men. There is not single draught
horse on the entire place, if we ex-
cept those used by the herders of
cattle, of which there are 10000
head OH the place. The Southern
Pacific Railway runs for 36 miles
through the farm. The company
has three steamboats, operating on
the estate, of which 800 miles are
navigable. 1t has also an ice
house, bank, ship-yard and rice
mills.

by father to his son at colleges:
My dear son:-I write to send you
your new socks, which your moth
er has just knit by cutting down
some of mine. Your mother sends
you ten dollars without my knowl-
edge, and for fear you would spend
it wisely, / kept back half and only
send you five. Your own mother
