In the province of San Paulo, said Mr..
Cole, they never think Of turning cattle out
into the woods-they are all pastured. The
country abounds with fine grasses, incIud-
ing the well known Bermuda, which
seems to be at home there. and hogs are
grazed as well as COWS and horses, and are
often made to weigh three hundred pounds
on pasturage, with one ear Of corn per day.
1t is great stock country as well as farm
ing country, and nothing is lacking for the
greatest prosperity but good government
adapted to the development of it's resources.
The want of this keeps the country poor,
keeps out immigrants from advancing ma
tions, and even the refugee Confederates
from the South, who went there to stay,
have nearly all returned to their own c)un.
