LAND AND CATTLE.
PrinceIy Estate of a Former CALI
fOrnian.


fOrnian.
1t is not usual occurrence in thesa
days. even in California, to meet a man
whose possessions in real estate cover an
area of 1900 acres, and who reigns over n
herd of 10000 cattle. In the days of Cali
fornia's infancy, when the old Mexican
grants extended over immense expanses of
territory, and when drOves of cattle wan
dered over the country, such domains were
as common as the thousand-acre farm is
to-day.
The owner of this principally Is A.
Benitz. who arrived in this city yesterday
from Chicago. He left his home at Buenos
Ayres three months ago, having since tray-
eled throughout Europe. and is on his way
through the United States, where he ex-
poets to remain during the coming winter.
my father" said Mr.. Benitz, after seat
ing himself in a comfortable armchair,
''emigrated from Mexico in 1912 and pur-
chased the old Fort Ross rancho in Sonoms
County. which then consisted of about
1900 acres. He conducted it as cattle
range until 1866, when his falling health
compelled him to seek change in climate,
and after disDOsing of the place he re-
moved TO South America and bought the
property of which | am the heir. situated
about forty miles from Buenos AyreS.

acres, or nearly 10 square miles. | have
at least $4,000 breeding cattle and about
10000 or 900 steers at present. The lat
ter l dispose of on an average of 5000 or
1000 year."
in what way d o you care for the stock ?"
was asked.
We'll, we are rather backward in our
system of handling them, and run things
OIL about the same basis as was precticed
in the early days of the Spaniards / in
tend visiting some of the stock ranches in
the north before returning home in order
to study the modern tactics as prac-
ticed in Montana. Dakota and other rails
ing districts. / have recently purchased a
large herd of shorthorn cattle. which in
tend to breed and gradually dispose of
the old Texas stock, which is much infe-
ricr."
''Do you have much difficulty in finding
sufficient grazing land during the various
seasons in the year"
No" replied Mr.. Benitz. "Our climate
is such that the grass is green and in
abundance nearly all the year round. We
have rain throughout the summer months.
and the winters are about the same as
in California. The land, in fact. is so
fertile that three or four acres are found
sufficient for one head during any season."

SIMPLE RULES FOR SLEEP.

otMFkC VOlCo F0N SeeeVs
Here are the five fundamental prinel'
pies Of sound sleep:
Let the evening meal be simple: moth
Ing better than diet of bread and milk
Take smart walk Of one or more
miles before retiring, unless you have
been exercising In the open air during
the afternoon. The colder the atmos-
phere the better.
Absolute Punishment from the mind
Of oil topics Of business. Innocent and
childllke amusements with the children
are the most beneficial.
In most cases bunch OF fresh lettuce
before retiring has q narcotic effect.
Cultivate a steady, full, well-drawn
way Of breathing, which always Induces
sleep.
