1t is especially annoying to Mr..
Burns to see rs much grAs. ws.t-d y.

Reached the end Of their journey ab. ut

hardly got their team turned out be-

On the way they exchanged ideas.
IL believe that 10 men could work
all summer without .xhaus my the

"Betttr than that" replied Mr..
Burne; IL would not hesi,at. il put

once on that Ore If silver were only
worth 81 ~ All ounce. The mnne
does not bother me-" he aided, re-,
trc,iveiy, pointing to the surrouud,, G
hills; "but that DOES. There is grass
enough g", 4 to waste. on these hui.
to sustain fully u million head q
stock. Ibis country extends hundred,
ot miles in length and br. aa.h, and
the feed is OF the b st kind, VT.
plenty Of cold water and shade every.
~her-; the stock would be as com
Portable here as it can possibly be
any where. Now | don't like to Sc.
that waste. | wish there was stock t.
eat that grass."
And, the fact is, that in a coun.r,
Of home seekers such as this, i,
is very strange. indeed, SO much
first class land is still ute aimed
Between HALEY and the CARR.
Leonard Rulch, in Smoky, there at
choice locations that would suffice ful
fully 50 dairies, each o, which coulr
be i" u different gulch or ravine
where the surrounding mou, tain,
would he the only fences, the foul
aud fve>toot grass the feed. and III.
bahhl'nx brooks would supply the wa
ter. The destructive grassi opp.r ant
more voracious cricket are not seel
there because Of the elevation, and
failure Of feed is unknown.
The day cannot, surely, be yer,
distant when all this lard will be ap
propria.-d and ava,led Of; and VIII.
it is this region will have reputation
even superior to that of the W-ster1

Valley for butter, ard to the worl
