the United States This immense pasture land,
once the favorte herding ground of the buffalo
whose bones lie bleaching upon it in all direc-
tons, extends from the Mexican boundary on
the south to the British Possessions on the
north, and from the Dist parallel west to the
Pacific Ocean, embracing an area of LOCO, 000.-
900 acres. The grasses are the bunch, buffalo,
grama Mesquite, and in some valleys the blue
joint, red-top and wild re. These grasses
grow and flourish up to the timber and snow
line-to ar altitude of 1000 feet. The climate
is much like that of Asia, and the rainfall IS
light. Vegetation grows lnxuriantly through
May and June, but when the rains cease the
grasses gradually dry on the ground, So that by
the tive the frosts come in September they
have become perfectly cured. uncut hay.
For years animals employed in freIshting
supplies to Western military posts have been
wintered on these great plains and in the
mountain. Jalles with no food hut the cured
and uncut grasses. and no shelter but that af
forded by the bluffs and hillsides The thou
sands of animals employed in the building of
the Pacific railways were all wintered upon
these uncut grasses. The country west of the
Missouri river is one vast pasture, with I'M
equalled summer and winter grazing, where
cattle can be raised with only the cost of herd
ing. Upon these unoceupled plains and noun
tain slopes all the hoc!s and herds in the
world could find ample pasturagp. The day
cannoj be far distant when country in which
the grass grows and rpens untouched from
year 10 year must become the mother of the
largest focks and herds in the world.
Ii the products of this immense grass-farm,
are within the reach of the English consumer a
trade upon large scale will be opened up with
the English markets Experiments show the
cattle arrive in England in far condition, the
loss in weight being smaller than could reason
ably be expected, and that when slaughtered
they leave fair margin for profit. Should flu
