IL tradition al opinion, that the central por-
tion Of this continent, from about A hundred
miles west Of the Missouri river to the western
declivity Of the Rocky mountains, Is q barren
desert, AID that II can never b come to any ex-
tent, the abode OF civilized men. IL is undoubt-
eoly true, that there are portions Of this territory
absolutely sterile. But there are also sections
along tho rivers where thero Is god arabic soil.
An article In tie Washington Repubi,c, makes
some valuable suggestions on this subject
The great plains which stretch beyond Kansas TO
NE Rocky Mountains, are proneunccd 10 be desert.
Yet q buffalo range, such as those plains notorI-
ousy are, cannot be . drsort; and q country
that viii support cattle will support men, for
the obvious r,ascn that men can subsist up,n tue
milk and beef which cattle furnish. Thts, groat
plains may be unit for tho pow, but they will
doubtless maintain . gIesi pastoral population.
IL 70 one ~ the most singular pruJudiccs, not Of
Kind, that countries arc only valuable IN propor-
ton as they are arabic. This is n theory which
rejects the patural fruit Of the earth, ~ OF no
account. Statistics shsw that animals furnish q
greater amount Of food In this couniry, than all
the cerea end al the root crops. AMI even Of
England, with It's confined limits and wonderful

uAn bis bakers bill; and y,t, strangely enough,
couhtries which will only support Cattle are ad
judged worthless, the whole end or aim Of man
being supposed TO be the raising ~ whea, snd
