O. N. OnrrmrrOK,
A Famous Hacienda—Productiveness of
the Soil—Finest Soil In tho Republic—
Agricultural Implements — Ancient
Methods—The Water Question.
Much has been said about Mexican
haciendas, but probably few people re-
aliEa the vast extent and unlimited possi-
bilities of some of thein. In this wonder-
ful country thero u,re estates into each of
which many an Old World principality
might, be crowded, and which a king
might be proud to own as his domain. An
example of this is the famous solado
hacienda, which covers more than 800
square miles. It lies partly in the states
of Coahuila, NTuevo Leon, Zacateoas and
San Luis Potosi, on the great highway to
tho capital nnd the line of tfce New Mexi-
can Central railway, having an average
elevation of over 4,000 feet. Chains of
mountains traverse it—how rich in min-
eral wealth nobody knows; while flourish-
ing farms, mining settlements, manufac-
turing centres, and even luoorported vil-
lages are found within its limits. Just
think of ltl Over 500,000 acres of this
fruitful soil, which boars everything
grown in both temperate and tropic
zones—producing, at least, two crops of
own a yearjtend a perpetual and almost
spontaneous crop of many other things—
ie^a neat little property, "by no means to
say.

. • I THE REAL PRODUCTIVENESS.
As to the roal productiveness of this soil,
It is difficult to get information in reliable
figures. Inquire of a Mexican how much
his field or orohard yields, and the invari-
able answer—accompanied by an inimita-
ble shrug of the shoulders—is "Quien
sabef" (Who knows?) or "Asi Dios
quirere! (As God wills!) I have ascer-
tained that with Mexican cultivation—
which means merely tickling the surface
of tho soil and turning on water now and
then—from thirty to forty-live bushels of
corn to the acre is considered a satisfact-
ory return. The few who have tried im-
proved methods of cultivation utlirm that
seventy-five bushels of corn twice a year,
per acre, may easily be produced, planting
the first crop in February and the second
in July or August. In this country the
standard price of corn is 2 cenra per
pound.
-• Probably the finest soil in the repubUc la
found on those fertile plains lying be-
tween Leon and San Juan del Rio, where
one fane^a (about three bushels) of seed
will yield, on a moderate average, not less
than 450 fanegas of corn. In several of the
Mexican states—notably Guerrero, Jalisco,
Oajaca and Tobasco—three crop3 of corn
are repularly produced in a single year,
called respectively reiego, temporal aud
toralmile. Wheat grows to good advan-
tage in all but five of the Mexican states,
and two crops in twelve months is the
rule.
Within tho last five years many plows and
other agricultural implements have been
brought to Mexico; but upon the vast ma-
jority of farms nothing to this day has
ever been employed for turning up the soil
but great forked sticks, or clumsy, three-
cornered wooden concerns—precisely like
those used in Egypt, 1,000 years ago, if
pictures of tho latter are correct. The
process of threshing, also, is almost uni-
versally conducted in the primitive fash-
ion of King David's day, or by the still
more simple method of throwing the grain
into an enclosure and driving a flock of
sheep to and fro npoa it.
THE WATER QUESTION.
That perplexing water question—which,
in Utah, for example, the Mormons have
regulated to tho nicoty of clockwork—Is
hero among the mysteries that "no feUow
can find out. "If you ask a farmer about his
irrigating privileges, he will tell you that
he has "niue days' water," "thirteen days'
water," or "twenty days' water," as the
case may be—meaning that he has a right
to turn water on his land once In every
nine, thirteen or twenty days—« privilege
which you may be sure has-cost him a
good round sum. In thickly populated
sections the greatest difficulty now seems
to be that all the available water has al-
ready been transferred from tho rivers to
the irrigating ditches.
It is but reasonable logic to conclude
that if Mexican land is valuable only
when irrigated, and it most of the avail-
able water la now in use in the al-
ready cultivated area, the country must
look to sotno improved method for
lessening its enormous stretches of wast«
lands and barren deserts; and, as the na-
tives have not advanced agriculturally a
single Ptep in the course of three centui>
les it clearly rt«ta with their more enter-
prising cousins, the Yankees, to come
down here and devise the methods. It
has been proved again and again, that all
these desert sands and arid reaches of cac-
tus and chaparral may ho made to "blos-
som as the rose" by merely turning water

eragjent l^nds ape everywhere for sale,

Artesian wells have not been tried to
any extent for purposes of irrigation; but
that water is everywhere abundant,
though sometimes far below the surface,
is shown by the numerous very deep wells,
of purest and clearest water, whioh are
found all over Mexico.—Fannie B. Ward

A Famous Tm at Vlcksburg.
Twenty-three year* ago, one and a halt
miles northeast from Vlcksburg, Gen. U.
a Grant received tho surrender ot Vlcks-
burg and the Confederate army defending
it, under a green tree, a few hundred
yards from the Confederate line of de-
fense, from Gen. Pemberton, tho Coufed-
m under. This surrender tree,
It wis called, was all cut down and car.
rled off by relic-hunters, and even the
very stump ot the tree even with the
ground. The United States government
then erected a granite monument to com«
metnorate the spot and event; bat the
rello-hunters chipped and defaced this so
b#dly that the government removed it to
tiw National cemetery of Vlcksburg for
preservation, »od profited a large MO-
pound gun that stands atttqt fifteen feet
high, with the Inscription on iti
The Surrender of Vlcksburg, ^
^ July 4, 1868, to Gen. U. S. Grant,
by Gen. pemberton.

" Most of the greatest discoveries the world
has ever known have boon made during tho
present oentury."
8ucK was n recent remsrkof the President
of tho National Bcienoe Association, and no
one can doubt its truth. The application
of steam and electricity have all been
brought about within a comparatively few
years, while tho realm of utechanios has
takon immense strides. But the greatest
and best discoveries are those which lessen
pain and add joy to the human raco. And
these discoveries are in a quiet way doing
more for the good of the world, than any
and all material discoveries combined.
A gentlemon, high in ccicntific acquire-
ments, and who has devoted himself to the
benefit of the huptan race, was forced to the
conclusion that certain olemonts in the body
whioh were most lacking, could be supplied.
Acting upon this belief, he carefully ex-
perimented and produced a compound wltich
by absorbing and retaining the elements
taken into the system adds more albumen to
thsbody and hence supplies more life thau
anything ever before discovered. This com-
pound is called Volina Cordial. It is not a
cure-all; itjs a life-imparting remedy. It
takes men who are overburdened with care
and work ; who do not 6loep well; whoso
appetites ore fickle; who are desjtondeut;
who have a sinking at the pit of th* stomach;
whose heads feel heavy, and renews their lifo
and health. It takes women who are worn
out with the care "of home; who have been
enfeebled by tho troubles of their sex; who
have a sense of bearing down and weariness
and restores the color to their cheek, the
sparkle to the eyes aud energy to the body.
It is a boon to the aged and a help to fee-
ble children. These are Assertions proven
by science and tested by experienco; and as
such commend themselves to the closcst and
most immediate attention to alL
When energy and hope are gone most en-
joyment in life has departed. It is then
that men and women need a friend in the
shape of a sure and efficient health-restorer.
Tho writer has passed through this ex-
perience and knows whereof he affirms and
hence most earnestly advisos all readers to
act upon the truths above stated without
delay.
Charles Monckey, inventor of
tho Monckey wrcnch (ignorantly
callcd tho monkey wrench), is liv-
ing in poverty in Brooklyn. Ho
sold tho patent for 82000, and now
millions aro made annually out of
the invention.
Prompt Reform of Bodily Evils.
Tho prompt reform to those bodily evils,
enfeebled digestion, incomplete assimilation,
inactivity oftho liver, kidneys and bladder, as
well as of the nervous symptoms which theKO
ailments are especially prone to beget, Is al-
ways accomplished by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, a incdicino accredited bv
physicians, pronounced pure by analysis, and
eminently wholesome and agreeable. Surely
such a restorative is preferable to unpalatable
and indigestible mineral drugs and unsanc-
tioned nostrums. The nation at large assur-
edly thinks so, judging by the unprecedented
demand for the article from Maine to tho
Pacific, a demand now supplemented by im-
mense orders for it received from tropical
America, Mexico, tho British and Spanish
Colonial possessions, and elsewhere. Both at
home and abroad it is recognized as a standard
remedy and preventive, the decisiveness of its
eflects recommending it everywhere.
Miss Mary Anderson has been
visiting the Earl of Lytton this
week at Knebworth Park. She is
going to givo four performances in
October at Dublin for tho benefit
of the Charleston cartbquako suf-
ferers.
Some people suffer from sick headache till
their lives, dragging out a miserable exist-
ence. If they would onlv try one dose of
Smith's Bile Beans (one bean) they would
never say that nothing would alford them re-

harmless and always effective. The price,
25 cents per bottle makes it very popular.
