A Farm HaIi a Blg a COnnectIcut.

The largest farm in this country, and
probably in the world, is situated In Che
southwestern part of Louisiana. It
extends 100 miles east and west. It
was purchased In 1883 by a syndicate
of Northern capitalists, by whom it is
still operated. AT the time Of its pur.
chase It's IL million acres were q vast
pasture for cattle belonging to few
dealers in that country. Now 1t 10 d.

existing every six miles. The fencing
Is said to have cost about $4,000. The
land is adapted for rice, sugar, corn
and cotton. A trsct--say, bali q mile

four plOWs. BY this arrangement
thirty acres are gone over in day
with the labor Of only three men.
There is not a single draught horse on
the entire place, IL we except those
used by the herders OF cattle, Of which
there are 10000 on the place. The
Southern Pacific Railway runs for
thirty-six miles through the farm. The
company has three steamboats, opeFat-

which 300 miles are navlgable. It has
also an iCe.house, bank, shipyard and

Pear Blight.

At the annual meeting of the Mis-.

field, the President of Drury College
read a paper on "Pear Blight" from
which the following extracts are taken:
''It is now definitely determined that
pear blight is a contagious bacterial
disease specially affecting pears and
also some other kindred fruit trees,
The micrObe may enter at the blossom
and then run downward on the
branches, but in young trees they often
enter the tips Of growing shoots and
then run downward, producing what
is sometimes called twig blight. The
extent Of the rsvages Of this mIcrobe
are generally only an inch or two q
day, but sometimes reaches as much
as one foot.
"Warm, moist weather is favorable
to blight. Cool, dry weather unfsvOr.

month or two following bloom, but
young trees may be attacked at any
time during the summer. The signs
Of the presence of the mlcrobe are the
turning of the bark Of the extremlties
a dark brown color and a more or less
shriVeling Of the bark. A few days
later the leaves blacken or brown, but
remain fox some weeks attached to the
tree. All the parts Of the tree below
the point reached by the blight are
healthy, no more injury resulting than
If the blighted parts had been girdled.
"It has been proved by experiments
that the mlcrobe lives through the
winter in the bark of the tree and that
even freezing winter temperature will
not destroy IL. On the other hand,
very dry weather and cessation OF
growth In the tree furnishes conditions
unfavOrable even for their life.
