AnImmense Farm

The largest farm in this country
and probably in the world, is situated
in the southwestern part of Louisiana.
1t extends one hundred miles north
aud west. 1T was purchased in 1888
by syndicate of northern capitalists
by whom it is still operated. At the
time of its purchase its 1,50O,OO acres
was a vast pasture for cattle belonging
70 few dealers in that country. Now
it is divided into pasture stations for
ranches, existing every six miles. The
fenclngis said to have cost about $780,
900. The land is best adapted for rice,
sugar, corn and cotton. A tract, say
half mile wide, is taken, and an en-
CINE is placed on each side. The en-
eines are portable, and operate n ca
bic attached to four plows. BY this
arrangement 80 acres are gone over in
day with the labor of only three
men.
There is not a single draught horse
on the entire place, if we except those
used by the herders of cattle, of which
there are 1870 head on the place.
The Southern Pacific railway runs for
about 36 miles through the farm. The
company have three steamboats, oper
ing on the estate, of which 800 miles
are navigable. Ithas also an icehouse
bank, shipyard and rice mills.

Hint About Cooking in MIX.

New potatoes aud new peas are
dishes that all delight in, but many a
housewife finds to her sorrow that on
warm nights these delicious vegetables
will not keep till morning even, if they
have been cooked in milk. There il
something in the atmosphere that sours
The not always good milk il short
time, naturally aided by the little flour
that goes to thicken the gravy. There
IS way to obviate this. OF course,
neither peas nor potatoes should he
cooked to n mush, and even if cut il
dice the potatoes should retain their
shape. Just as soon rs the meal is
over turn the peas aud potatoes into n
ine colander, and pour lot of boiling
water over them. This will wash away
all the thickened milk, and You can
safely set the vegetables in cool
place, to use for the next meal, or for
soup or salad. If you want to serve
IN milk again, treat them as though
they were just cooked ready for the
gravy, and season them again. Wash

The Tree ofLuck

Staten-Islander in the vicinity of
Fort Wadsworth relate an odd story
about tree which has grown upon
dock extending into the water from
cliff just above the quarantine sta
ton. The dock is constructed Of pill
-fYfrt sS -a and logs, and extends from the
shore distance of about fifty feet, of
which twenty five feet are made up Of
earth deposits between the piles. In
the centre of this earth rises au enor-
nous willow tree, around which q
fence has been built Outside of the
fence heavy benches are placed, on
which the fishermen and others who
use the dock can take their comfort.
1t is related that when the dock was
first started in small way, nearly
twenty five years ago, small sprout
came floating down the water and was
drifted so that il took root in the
earth, where it has now become great
tree. The fishermen of that day dis
covered it taking root, Strengthened it
mp, protected it with environments
and have ever since defended it, SO
that they will not permit person even
to cut twig from it. They say that
the tree has been lucky to the dock,
and that any man who despoils il
brings bad luck TO them.

Sweeping Hints.

Before sweeping everything that can
be removed from the room in the way
Of furniture and ornaments should first
be carefully brushed aud busted and
chen be taken into the hall or into an
other room. The remainder of the
furniture should be covered. and if the
curtains are not taken down they
should be pinned up short, or the ends
put into linen bags.
Salt brightens and cleans the carpet
beautifully, but it absorbs moisture
aud rusts the tacks. AS long as there
is any salt left in the carpet, and il is
extremely difficult to sweep it all up,
just so long will there be moisture col
Letting.
Always sweep i'll one direction with
short, hard stroke. Cover the broom
with flannel cloth and wipe the walls
with downward stroke. Sweep ont
the corners with Il corn broom. While
the dust is settling wash the windows
and the wood work. Then go over
the carpet with cloth dipped in am
monia and water.
All the brasses and steels belonging
cleaned in the laundry.
The brushes and brooms should be
kept scrupulously clean by washing.
Ammonia is cheap and the best thing
to use. Do not get the brushes wet
where the bristles go into the wood: it
loosens the bristles and takes off the
varnlsh. The water should be merely
iukewarm, and the brushes should
stand in it for at least half an hour,
after which they should be thoroughly
rlnsed aud hung up to dry. Brushes
should never be allowed to dry near
the heat, but always i'll cool place.
The cloths used for oiling and wax
ing the floors should be kept clean by
soaking them for half an hour in n
solution OF sal soda The water should
be hot, aud the clothes should be final
" rinsed il the water that has little
fat in 1T, generally using two table
spoonfuls of oil to two quarts of water
Marble should be washed with soft
rag and soap and water and wiped dry.
Stains eau be taken out with sand SOAP
Or pumice stone. Marble workers use
pumice stone. The slightest bit of
acid on marble eats into it ut once
Marble is the most difficult thing to
deal with If there is a coating of
grease on ii, make a strong solution of
washing soda thickened with fuller's
earth and let the mixture stand on the
stain n dayo two. Treat the tiles in
the same way as you do marble, and
wipe the bronzes with cloth slightly
moistened with oil.

A Foe to NIntrimonx

> A crusty old bachelor declares that

admit" he says, 'thas on n
stormy night, when one does not feel
iike going to the club or some place of
amusement, or when one is under the
weather and is confined in ones own
room, 1t Is apt to be decidedly dull
one tires OF books, and longs for
companionship. That is to say, used
TO feel in this way at times, before |
bought the best graphophone that
could be had for my money. Now I
have only to set it going, and l am
amused all the evening. 1 have the
most charming and soothing selections

SmnIl Frnit Nn1n..

The roots of currants and gooseber-
ries of bearing age should not he dis
turbed by cultivation or hoeing until
after fruiting season. Apply mulch
of coarse manure or straw, thick
enough to prevent the growth of the
weeds in and about the hills and rows
Look for the currant borer. When
the leaves start, affected canes com
mence to wither and die. Cut out the
affected canes below the black center
and burn ut once.
All newly set plants should be thor
oughly cultivated; weeds must not be
allowed to grow for they consume
valuable plaut food and the moisture so
necessary to the young plant.
Frequent surface cultivation makes
the natural food of the plant more
available, prevents escape of moisture
and holds water in store for summer
use
The root is the foundation of the
plant. 1t should be stimulated to early
and continuous growth by the best care
i'll the beginning.
Picking, packing and marketing are
important factors in growing fruit for
profit
If plants have failed to grow, set new
ones in their places at once. One can
not afford to have missing hills.
Blackberry and raspberry bushes
should be trimmed severely, cut back
at least one-third on one-half. Severe
pruning increases the size and quality
of the fruit
The grower should understand tina
choice berries are always in demand
and the market is never overstocked:
that it costs Just as much to raise poor
berries rs good ones; that it costs more
to pick and pack poor berries; that
freight aud express charges are just as
high on poor berries: hence there is
profit only in growing the best for the
market
Berry boxes should he made before
the season begins. Clean, well made
packages neatly stenciled on the side
with name aud residence soon become
yOur trade mark let it also he q
guarantee of good berries honestly
packed
Never allow stems, leaves, dirt, i'm
perfect or unripe berries in the box.
Always have n uniform quality through
out and the boxes well filed.
For long shipment pick every day,
and before the fruit is too ripe. Never
offer poor berries for sale aud never
use q dirty box or poor case.
II il becomes necessary TO sell poor
berries, send to good commission
house. but never place your name on
the case
Let markets he as near as possible

Like a Small Tornedo

A curious fruit has recently been
discovered growing wild in Batavia.
1t appears to be species of bean,
- cabling q cigar both in form and
color, though only about an inch in
length. But it has peculiar charac-
teristic which renders it a very UNIQUE
and interesting object, and this is the
exceedingly energetic manner in which
1t scatters its seeds. If one of these
little fruits be thrown into basin of
water it will rest quietly on the surface
for from two to five minutes; then it
will explode with violence, hurting
most OF its contents into the air with a
noise and splash for all the world like
small torpedo. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that this phenomenon is
caused by the pressure of the elastic
substance of its interior overcoming
the resistance of its hard outer she'll.
The curious property of explosion is
given the plant for the dissemination
of its seeds, which otherwise would
stand poor chance of propagating it's
species.

My experience with the COW born
with an instinct for kicking is that she
can never be thoroughly cured. Some
times heifer will try to kick the
mixer away when she il not well
broken to milk. Her bag and teats are
then tender, aud il is not difficult to
understand why she should do her
best to escape the ordeal of milking.
Some men have so little sympathy with
heifer NJ tbs period that they hurt
the udder unnecessarily, and pretty
soon the habit of kicking may have
been formed. With care, however. the
tendency to kick may be overcome, and
viii never reappear.
But there are some COWS which seem
to be born kickers. Some eight years
ago ! bought very good-looking COW.
SIX years old. The owner told me she
was gentle and free from bad tricks. I
found that she was, indeed very gen
tie at times. She would come MP in
the lot 10 be fondled, aud was a great
favorite with the children. But the
same spring / bought her. and before
she hal come in. she would stand in
the stable and kick with both hind feet
at the cows each side Of her. using
first one foot AID then the other. (
thought II might be because she was ~
strange place, aud tina. she would he
all right when she became used 10 her
quarters. But this was not true.
For some days she would he per-
fectly quiet; then without warming her
legs would 6y She was strong COW.
AID things moved when she kicked. I
tried the plan of tying arope about her
body Just in front of the bag. and rs
long ne the rope was kept on she was
quiet. As soon a. the rope was left
off, trouble was likely to begin at any
time.
! never was sure tina, / would get
away with my pail Of milk
After n thorough trial. running
through number Of years. / became
convinced that she was incurable, aud
disposed of her to the butcher.
This COW raised several heifer calves
while ] had her, aud every one of them

the whole race that fault extended Z
have gradually weedcd them on until
I have one two year-old hcifer left
She is half Jersey, aud gives promise
of being an extra COW: but il she de
velops the habit Of kicking she will g;
