ALaree Ranch.

Mr.. John B. Curtis. of this city, owns an
extensive ranch of Il, 600 acres near North
Platte, Nebraska. AT the present time he
has on the ranch HOO cattle, mostly pur-
chased in this State or bred from Maine
stock. A large portion of these are either
grade or thoroughbred Herefords, the Bur-
leigh & Bodwell importations having fur
nished him the most of the latter. He COM
menced his stock-breeding operations there
in 1881, and after trying the Durhams has
discarded them for the Herefords. He has
already planted 100000 trees ON his land and
will continue, being greatly pleased with his
success. Last March he planted lot of To-
Gust seed and some of the trees growing
therefrom are now seven feet high He be-
lieves that there is no country in the world
that will grow lumber so fast as this section
of Nebraska.

VS.. one bay stallion and one black roam horse

collector told him he must see the horses before
he could bond them; Rogers said he would bring

when he had concluded, the pastor received
subscriptions sufficient to fully meet the

increase over the amount contributed to the
cause of missions by this church for several
years.
