Ranchlng In Florida.

Ranching, though the least known,
is the oldest industry in Florida. For
a great number of years cattle raising
for the Cuban and West Indian mar
kets has been an occupation ofthe &C
tive Floridian. From Punto Gorda
and Punta Rassa, ports Of Charlotte
harbor, about 10000 head OF cattle
are annually exported to Cuba. They
are not fattened, and indeed are only
rounded up just before expectation;
consequently the beefis wretched stuff,
and the $14 or SIS paid for each OF
the beeves may be considered quite as
much as they are worth. The pasture
is poor and the breed still poorer, and,
although there is movement afoot
to improve both, there can be little
doubt that as the southern countries
are settled, herds will diminish in size
and the range OF pasturage be greatly
restricted. Ranching as ranching will
gradually die, and dairy farming viii
reign in its stead.-Macmillan's Maya
zine.
