Cattle, however, keep fat all Winter, without feddering. This is destined to be one of the best grazing coutries in the world. There are now large herds of cattle here, and more are annually being driven from California. Beef and pork are becoming abundant. Garden vegetables are also raised.
Horses are numerous.
I know of no country where there are so many cattle and horses for the population as in Oregon. Some Indians are said to own one hundred and fifty head of horses. This Summer there have been six or seven droves by my house to the settlement, to exchange for cattle. These are mostly from the upper country. Water is abundant and good.
