AGRICULTURE IN CHILI.
A VISIT TO A TYPICAL FARM IN
THAT COUNTRY.
Ponderous Muil Fences—Overseers
and. Peons—The Day's Wort—
Primitive Mode ot Threshing.
Writing from Santiago do Chile, Fan
nie 11. Ward says iu the Washington
Star:
Wo journeyed due sou f .h 100 miles—
mostly by rail—to visit a model hacien
da, for the express purpose of being able
to tell you how the typical Chilian farm
is conducted. The estate in question is
owned by a gentleman formerly from
New England, who, as his name will
show, belongs to an exceedingly numer
ous aud highly respectable family of the
United States—Mr. William llanry
Smith; but, being married to a Chilena,
it is here remit red Senor Don Guillermo
Henrique Ferrerio.
Speaking of the nomenclature, the
most common and cold-blooded of our
northern titles become positively melli
fluous when translated into this poetic
language. For example: Our neighbor
over the way—at home Mr. John James
Tinker—is addressed as Senor Don Juan
Santiago Latinero. Plebian William be
comes Guillermo; Henry, Ucurique;
Charles, Carlo; Ned, Eduardo; Jim,
Santiago; Peter, Pedro; Dick, Kicardo,
aud so onto the end of the chapter.
Senor Smith's estato comprises 500
acres, all inclosed within one fence, and
so ponderous is the latter—being ten
feet high, three feet thick aud roofed
like a house—that it reminds one of the
great wall of Chiua. Hails are never
used iu this country for fencing, except
in the far south, where timber is plenty.
Stones aro sometimes piled up into
walls, but always in combination with
lime and sand, making them solid.
Those that are universal in Chili look
strong enough to defy tho tooth of old
Father Time for centuries and as pictur
esque as indestructible. This of our
friend Ferreiro is a fair sample. It is
made of mud—a cheap and common ar
ticle—which has been molded into huge
squares and dried in the sun. The huge
abodes were then piled iuto place, and
while yet moist earthen ware tiling im
bedded in the top—of a rusty-red color,
like that which roofs the houses. The
object of roofing the wall is to prevent
the long-continued, heavy rains of win
ter from soaking into the bricks aud re
ducing them again to mud.
Like most gentleman farmers iu Chili,
Don William Henry does not live on his
country estate, but in the city, coming
out once a month or so to see how things
are going, and bringing his family for a
few weeks in summer time. But there is
an administrador de hacienda, a "sub
administrator," several overseers aud
more than one hundred peons. Farming
is carried on in this country much the
same as it was in Europe in feudal times
or as iu Ireland to-day, each estate hav
ing its retainers, who are provided with
tenements, for which they pay by a stip
ulated number of days' labor every year.
As there is hardly any middle class in
Chili—only the rich and the poor, the
landlord aud the tenant—the haciendas
aro generally very large and are owned
by nabobs who seldom visit them. Each
has its big, rambling casa, wherein the
administradors and their families reside,
a chapel, a commissary depot, granaries,
store houses, wine vaults and a number
of little cottages, surrounded by garden
patches, where the peons live. The lat
ter are paid for their labor, generally not
in money, but in orders on the supply
store, where, at prices optional with the
administradors, food, clothing, chicha
and rum are sold. Tenants are usually
given small credits at these stores and
arc forever in debt to their landlords.
As the iaw prohibits their leaving the
service of a man to whom they owe
money, they are thus kept in perpetual
slavery. When the men assemble in the
morning at the tap of the sunrise bell an
overseer writes each one's name in a con
venient place, aud when the day's work
is faithfully done puts a mark besido his
name. At the end of the week the marks
are counted and each man receives his
pay according to the score. As a rule,
haciendados and peons get along well
enough together, and the servant will
fight for the master to the last drop of
blood in his body. As in the old world
centuries ago, fedal wars arc kept up
between estates through so many genera
tions that the original provocation is
entirely forgotten, and sanguinary con
flicts are constantly occurring, far the
peons of the Capulets is always more than
willing to cut the throat of servant of
the Montagues.
As on other haciendas, Senor Ferrc
iro's tenants begin work at 6 A. M., hav
ing previously eaten a desayuno of bread
and coffee. Then each goes off to that
part of the estate which is to be tho
scene of his day's labor, carrying with
him a cow's horn of water and a small
bag of meal. These are his rations for :
the midday breakfast, and not another
mouthful will he get for twelve long
hours, until ho returns to dine at 6 p. M.
The meal is of roasted wheat, ground on
the small hand-mill with which every
hacienda is provided. We saw the men (
at their sunset dinner, and a more
contented and healthy-looking lot
could hardly bo imagined—crowded
around a table of rough boards without .
any cloth upon it. The repast consisted
entirely of beans and peas stewed fr>- '
gether, but the administrador informed
mo with pride that all the laborers on
this model farm are treated to meat and
potatoes twice every week.
We went out into tho wheat fields on
a cart, topped by a very high and nar
row hay rick made of cane poles lashed
together with thongs, drawn by bullocks.
The cart was driven to a place where
the cut sheaves were thickest, the cattle
were taken from the tongue and tied to
a wheel, and the work of gathering
commenced. Each man seized a bundle
and carried it to the cart, until all the
near-by sheaves were loaded. It did
not occur to anybody to make the bul
locks remove the cart to another part of
the field; bundles were still laboriously
carried to the same place, however the
distance lengthened and the noontide
heat increased and perspiration streamed
down each swarthy face.
When the enormous load was complete
it -was hauled to the threshing yard,
where the wheat was carelessly dumped
in heaps without the trouble of stacking
it, for here it rarely rains during the
summer months, so there is little danger
of the grain spoiling. Meanwhile thresh
ing was going on, slowly but surely. A
spot of hard ground had been swept, and
upon it were pitched a few bundles;
then horses were driven over and over
them until the wheat was shelled from
the straw. The straw was then removed,
the wheat raked to the center and more
bundles thrown down. When a consid
erable quantity of shelled wheat was col
lected a wind mill was introduced to
blow away the chaff.
No wheat could be of better quality.
The plump, sound grains were fully one
fourth of an inch long, and I was told
that an average yield here is twenty
bushels to the acre. The corn crop is
smaller, because the seasons are too cold.
Oats return about sixty bushels to the
acre, but, unfortunately, there is no
market for them. Orange 3, lemons, figs,
peaches, apples, pears, grapes, melons,
etc., are always a sure crop, because—
though the summers of Chili are seldom
warm enough to make thin clothing nec
essary, there is never frost enough in
winter to kill the flowers. All kinds of
vegetables thrive remarkably, and when
ever a native plants beets he ties a knot
in the end of each growing plant to pre
vent i* from running beyond reasonable
bounds.
The plows in general use are primi
tive implements—a beam, with one
long stout handle extending far euough
donward to attach a flat piece of iron
which has been hammered sharp on a
stone. Of course with such a rude
machine the earth can barely )"*
scratched. Wheat is sown broadcast
aud covered by dragging "it over with a
weighted plank. Corn land is furrowed
into rows, in one direction. Holes aro
made at regular intervals in the rows
with sharpened sticks, into which the
corn is dropped and then covered with
the foot. The hoes are about fourteen
inches high by five inches wide, and
each weighs not less than eight pounds.
Every well-regulated hacienda has its
vineyard and that of Senor Smith in
cludes 100 acres. The crop is always
abundant and tho grapes sell in market
for about one cent per pound. They
make good raisins as well as wine. A
superior quality of the latter costs about
eight cents per quart, but is too new to
be desired by anybody but Chilians.
Every native, old or young, drink wine
at all timcj of the day and nig'ut, at
meals and between meals. He may not
afford a more luxurious dinner than com
mon puchero (which is composed of all
the seeds and vegetables the cook can
lay hauds on, boiled with a bit of beef
or bacon and flavored, if possiblo, with
a few links of sausage), but he must wash
it down with a glass or two of wine, and
so must his wife and children.
The most interesting time of day on
the Ferreiro estate is toward sunset, af
ter the G o'clock dinner is done. First
there are upward of 200 cows to be at
tended to, which are driven into the
corral and milked by tho women. Tho
tawny, bare-footed milkmaids take no
chanehes on being kicked, for every
cow, however gentle, has her legs firm
ly tied to stakes before the milking be
gins. Cattle raising must be profitable
in Chili. A cow, comparing favorably
with our Texas and Colorado cattle, sells
hero for about S4O, and a steer brings
from S6O to sloo—high prices consid
ering that shelter is not necessary and
abundance of grass grows throughout
the year. The milk is made into an ex
cellent quality of butter and cheese, all
for export at good prices, as the north
ern half of the country, as well as Peru
and Bolivia, depend entirely upon south
ern Chili for their supplies.

! Biggest Depot In the World.
Contemporaneous with the reconstruc
tion of Broadway, New York City, is
the erection on that ancient Indian trail
and modern highway of civilization the
largest and finest railroad depot in the
world. It will occupy the west aide of
Broadway between Thirty-seventh and
Thirty-ninth streets, and will extend
back across Seventh avenue to Eighth
avenue, being 400 feet frontage on
Broadway and 1300 feet deep, and so ar
ranged as not to obstruct any thorough
fare, as the floor of the depot will be
twenty feet above the street. On Broad
way the building will be seven stories
high for office accommodation. This
gigantic depot is intended to accommo
date the New York and New Jersey
Bridge Company, which is about to build
an eight-track bridge across the Hudson.
Recent circulations show that 750 pas
senger trains will cross the river by the
bridge at Seventy-first street during
twenty-four hours, which is more than
thirty trains an hour. The New Jersey
promoters of the scheme will unite with
the New York corpoiation, and as the
needed $1,000,000 in cash has been pro
vided the actual work of construction
will begiu in the fall. The four blocks
in question are mainly occupied by
cheap structures of a past era.—Phila
delphia Record.
Colds Catching.
"Don't come near me, I have a cold."
If cold,' are not "catching," as folk say,
how has this come to be a form of ex
pression familiar in so many households?
Dr. Richardson propounds this problem,
but he frankly confesses that he is utmbic
to solve the question. Sometimes l.e has
been inclined to think that colds in a
house spread by a kind of sytnpithy.
Against this, however, as against ordin
ary contagion, there is the argument
that all affected may be at the timj un
der one and the same influence. So it
stands now in respect to influenza. One
day Dr. Richardson is called to a house
to find several persons suffering with this
disease, and the history supplied is that
otie of sufferers having contracted the
affection many miles away, where it was
prevailing, brought it home with iiru.
He then goes to another house to fijil a
large establishment with every meaber
of it free from the affection except one,
who has never been exposed, who has
never even left the house, and who atone
is suffering severely. Unfortunatly, this
expert in pathology is driven to conclude
with the questions: "Where lies the
truth? "What is coincidence, and what
is cause in relation to the phcnomenojJ"

"Death of a Thousand Cats."
" 'The Death of a Thousand Cuts,' of
which we have all rer.d in some vajue
story of the secret atrocities of the East,"
said George Trimble Davidson, "is by
no means the hideous unreality I fancied
it. While in Tacoma recently I vas
enabled to secure with considerable dif
ficulty a photograph made instantaie- |
ously by an Englishman who in disguise
succeeded iu being present at the execu
tion 'by the thousand cuts' of a
mandarin who had been guilty of tie
crime of lese majeste. Being discovered,
the daring photographer had to run for
his life, but not until he had taken views
of the writhing victim iu the course! of
the administration of the thousand
slashes with sharp swords by which hs
was tortured, and indeed dismembered,
while life and couseiout-ness yet re
mained!"— New York Times.
Antidote for a Great Pest.
A Natal (South Africa) man announces
that lie has discovered an absolute rem
edy or antidote for the bite of the tsetse
fly, and is so coulideut of the virtue of
his specific that he has accepted a con
tract to transport Portuguese military
stores ou the backs of bullocks through
the districts infested by this pest. The
importance of such a discovery could
scarcely be overestimated, for the tsetse
has proved a hitherto insurmountable
obstacle to the settlement of vast aud
fertile regions. The fly is a small insect,
harmless toman, large game, goats,etc.,
but deadly to horses, oxen, dogs and
donkeys. Its bite proves fatal in a few
days, and a post-mortem examination re
veals extrm rdinary changes in the body
of the victim. One of the most remark
able effects is seen iu the blood, which
loses consistency and color. Without
oxen or cattle, trade and agiiculture
have been impossible, and this appar
ently insignificant fly, which has cut so
great a figure iu the history of African
exploration, has been left in almost un
disputed possessiou of its territories.

Odd Class!rations.
A lady entered a railway station in
England with a turtle, and the railway
porter went to headquarters to ascertain
how much fare ho must collect for the
turtle. On returning ho announced to
tho lady the company's classification of
animals for charges: "Cat? is dogs and
rabbits is dogs, but this ere tortus is a
hinsect, and we make no charge for
hinsects." The lady was no doubt quite
satisfied to have her pot declared a hin
sect seeing that "hinsects" were not
subject to any charge for passage. This
amusing railroad classification is recalled
by an item of news in our Week's Index
concerning two French aeronauts who
were detained at the Bargo Office in this
city until the immigrant inspector could
decide whether ballooning was an art or
a trade. After consulting his authori
ties tho inspector decided that the aero
nauts were professors, and could not
therefore be burred out under the con
tract labor law. The inspector's decis
ion is about as near the tr uth as was
that of the railway man.— New York

A Cow's Mother-Love Betrays Her Calf.
Iu a pasture on a farm in East Hart
ford, recently, one of tho cows had a
calf which 110 one of the farm hands was
able to find tho day after its birth. A
search proved a failure until some one
suggested a novel scheme. It was to
bring a dog into the lot, when, in all
probability, the cow would return to her
calf to defend it. The dog was brought,
and sure enough, the cow sturted for a
clump of bushes; and among them the
calf was found, where the leaves had con
cealed it.— Hart fort (Conn.) Courant.
