Mr.. Norton has been visiting the state

cattle sheds have given him an excel

no stock on exhibition at the fair, not
caring to bring his sheep this distance,
but he says with justifiable pride that
his blooded animals would outclass the
majority Of those on exhibition at the
fair.
North Dakota offers excellent oppor-

There are thousands of acres of the

subdividinu Land.

The government of New Zealand Is
still pursuing It's policy of buying back
large estates from the proprletors ano
cutting them up into holdings for men,
OF small means. 1t is successfully pro-
yiding allotments near the large towns
for workmens homes, in the hope that
this may relieve poor men from The ex-
cessive, almost prohibitory. rents OF
cities. A man who has an acre OF. fertile
land near a town at an almost nominal
price can partly keep his family by
growing vegetables and working at his
garden in his spare time. He is in a
vastly superior position to the laborers
who has to pay about one-third of his
income in rent for bare house room, and
turn out into the street the instant the
weekly rent is not Forthcoming.
The effort is not limited to this acre
allotment system; the country estates
bought back by the government are cut
into small farms, on which thrifty agri-
tculturists may make livings for their
families. Recently the government
bought for this purpose the Glenham
estate of 1850 acres, near Wyndam;
the Kakaku estate of 1850 acres, near
Pleasant Point, South Canterbury. and
several other properties in the vicinity
of Christ church.

! Blasts From Rams Horn.
,nt aIvayS truth.


Stolidity 10 not always solidity,
Happiness is ever by-product
The best fruits must be touched by
frost.
The true heavenly mind will be earth
iy kind.
When you have slain your lusts bury
their hides.
Risen saints ought not to wear their
grave clothes.
High tides of grief carry us over the
hidden bar.
With Christ it was an act of humility
to become king.
1t is folly to cut down the green blade
because it bears no grain.
The army of success is often but
mobilization of shattered mistakes.
The trouble with the people who look
on honesty as good policy is that they
are not willing to pay the premiums.

RUNNING A CATTLE RANCH.

Mention must be made of the expense
account, even tho it is small and fidicu-
lously simple, says Robert U. Baker in
the Review of Reviews in an article on
THE Economics of Cattle Ranching in
the Southwest" The average cowboy
is paid s25 per month, and the foreman,
If there be one, perhaps twice or thrice
that amount. on q few of the largest
ranches, the foreman receives 500 per
month. In all instances board and
lodging are included. On one very fine
ranch the foreman is allowed a salary
of $500, large house, provisions,
and free medical aid. This is an ex-
ceptional case. but the responsibility Is
great, particularly SO, for the owner
never visits his property. Owing to
the inaccessibility to towns and and
the excessive cost of transportation,
from one to three months provisions are
brought at a time. The list includes
Mexican beans, oatmeal, bacon, coffee
flour, molasses, and, occasionally, DRIED
fruit and canned tomatoes and corn.
One dollar per week is a large estimate
for the cost of feeding single person
Other expenses include repairs and
minor improvements. Fencing is an
important problem; new ones must De
built, at an average cost of sixty dol
lars per mile, and old ones kept in the
best of rpair. Personal expenses differ
according to Individual tastes As a
rule, the cowboy dresses more expen-
sively than his employer and owns his
own saddle and bedding. Even so.

Despite the problems which must De
net and overcome, there is not one
which lessons the interest the progress
siye stock man feels In his ever-increas-
ign herds, or which should keep out or
the business the ambitious young man
with more energy than money Nature
and time are the two most important
requisites, but hard work and persever-
ance are quite as essential IL the herds
are to be successfully raised and pre-
Pared for the market. The present sue
icesses have been won principally by
those who began q decade or two ago,
when, as cowboys, they accepted cattle
In preference to money wages, and this
at a time when cattle were cheap. To-
day, little encouragement is given the
cowboys and few, If any, ranchmen will
allow their men to run" any cattle on
their property. In consequences, there
is little stimulus offered, and rare, in
deed, is the case where an employe puts
aside his small earnings intending to
buy bunch" of cattle as soon as he
has saved up one or two thousand dol
lars.
AS long as land can be obtained at a
romlnal sum, and beef continues to be
our most unitarian diet, despite adj
vancing prices, SO long will cattle
ranching produce greater returns on less
capital than almost any other industry.

seem primitive, and there be lacking the
social and intellectual stimulus of the
town, recompense is had IN continued

bic climate.

Lepers Well in India.
8rI.abora lTrih,,na 1 ~


An Azamgarh correspondent relates
the following story of the miraculous,
and healing powers OF the waters of an
abandoned we'll in that district:
"a leper, exhausted with a long tramp
in the heat, was refused q drink of wa
ter, and not even allowed to draw for
himself. AS he lay almost dying,
somebody in pity directed him to az de-
serted well. surrounded by vegetation.
He drank some of the water and felt
improved in health. Then he washed
his hands and mouth and felt further
relieved So, he bathed in the water and
was almost cured Of his leprosy. He
stayed beside the well three days, bath
Ing daily, and was restored to perfect
health. Then he returned to the village
and related what had happened, and
since then the well has become famous.
This took place in Scar. q. village
three miles from Belthara road, sta
ton on the Bengal and Northwestern
railway and vin the district of Gorakh-
pore. Be assured, sir, this is notaa fab
rication of the brain, but a real story
and an ascertained fact. On the news
being heard in Azamgarh, many in
lQulrleS We're Indue, dHu I'll thS ASPitSS
corroborated the facts as have given
them.
Not only In the surrounding districts.
but in far-off places, SO strong is the be-
lief about the healing properties Of the
well, that hundreds of people are flock
ing there. Tho the first disease cured
was leprosy, yet persons suffering from
fevers, colds asthma, dysentery and all
sorts Of diseases go there to be cured.
Some have come from Calcutta and La
bore. Rich as well as poor flock to the
water, and also women who desire
children"
