RAYCHER's HERD.

There Is another branch Of this industry
that is comparatively speaking as yet in its
infancy, but which bids fair 10 become an
important factor in the cattle business That
is the transplanting of yearlings from the
East, when winter feeding is necessary, to
the Western plains, where they are fattened
on the natural grasses This method has
certain advantages over that we have just
described, which will endeavor to make
clear in the following observations This

STEER MATURING.

To persons with capital, and without a
thorough practical experience in breeding
and raising calves on the range and who wish
to go into the cattle business this industry
will present itself advantageously. The difficult
ties of breeding and raising cattle have hither-
to been underestimated, and much money
has been lost for want of experience, whereas
the business of raising beef is conducted on
lines, which leave little to individual manage
ment. The lines on which the business at
present can be conducted are: number of
yearling steers are bought each spring for
three years, and turned out on the range. A
suitable house with stables, corrals, etc, is
put up with accommodation for two men.
And in threo years the first installed is ready
for sale. My meaning will possibly be clearer

from an extended trip through South America,
bringing with him large species of soath Amer
lean monkey.
After tea the box containing the monkey
was brought ont to be opened amid the curiosity
of the family circle and few friends. The
monkey WAS untsmed and had been closely con-
fined since it was shipped from Buenos Ayres, via
London. The moment the box cover was ioosened
