The Missouri Land Company of Scotland
has bought of the st. Louis Il San Francisco
Railroad, through Sidway, Bogue l. Co., 1885,
500 acres III Barry County, Missouri. about
275 miles southwest OF st Louis: The prop
erty was selected BY Mr.. Goodlct, a farmer
Of Bolshaw. Ailroath, Scotland, and L. 3. Sid
way in June last 1t is a fine farming county,
and has over H. 600 population and sixty pub
lie schools. 1t was selected chiefly Tor eli
mate and adaptability for stock-Erowing. It
will furnish homes for Scotch farmers, but
the Directors do not believe in colonies.
They think the Scotch will learn farming in
America and become acquainted with the
ways Of the people sooner, and be SO far bet
ter off, by being settled among Americans.
With that view they aim to sell fully half to
Americans.
The Scotchmen who have already arrived,
and the American purchasers so far, will all
breed tile same variety Of fine mutton sheep,
and many of the old settlers are disposed to
join i'll with them. At 1east until the tame
grass summer and winter pastures, are
strong enough for cattlevit is expected that
fine mutton sheep will be made specially,
and probably will continue 10 be so.
l.. 3. Sidway is the American Director of
the Company, and as such assumes tie gem
erai management. The Company has no
connection with any emigrant scheme.
