carries them off. In the past oxen were
used to trek wagons over the country,
but the rinderpest killed them by the
thousands, many falling dead in their
Jokes. The cattle are now steadily in
creasing, and there is a fair prospect
of the lands being restocked. Much OF
the farming is mixed. the average settler
taking up from 500 to 5000 acres and US
ing a small amount for cultivation and
the remainder for grazing. He will put a
hundred acres or so in corn and employ the
rest for cattle. The climate is such that
the animals can feed out of doors all the
year round. and about ten acres will
furnish enough grass for one head.
In my trips about the country l see
that corn is raised everywhere and that
such oats as have been planted are doing
well. The present demand for grain is
such that the country cannot supply 1t,
and in the past quite a lot Of American
corn has been imported. Good corn now
brings about 2 cents a pound, or more
than a dollar a bushel. Much Of It is sold
in 9OO-pound sacks at "a and upward per
sack.
As TO the tobacco, the administrator
has not overstated the possibilities. There
are Turkish cigarettes sold here which
are made from the native weed, and
smokers tell me they are quite as good as
any that can be imported from Cairo OF
Constantinople.

OF the syndicate and has been connected

It is now eight years since he was sent

Rhodesia, we came into mountains equal

villages. There are no fences anywhere

1 asked Sir William Milton whether the
climate Of Rhodesia was fitted for white
men. He replied that the higher parts
were very healthy and that the heat was
altogether dependent on the altitude. All
lands which are over 1900 feet above the
sea are suitable for Europeans, but 1t is
only upon those which are 1000 feet higher
that European children can be born and
bred. The latter area is not much bigger
than the state of Maryland and 1t has
one Of the finest climates Of the world.
The former is almost as large as California
and It is healthy. The rainfall averages
twenty-eight inches. Here at Salisbury the
altitude is about 400 feet and in coming
inland from the ocean 1 have crossed
country which is more than a mile above
the sea. The most Of Rhodesia is a roll
ing plateau and as far as 1 can see much
of 1t will some day be covered with the
homes of white men.

II suppose 1 am the only person here who

ton Transcript. 1T was on a Fourth OF
July when 1 was a boy. 1 had spent all
my celebration money and on my way
home had to pass Park Street church. I
decided to go into the church, where there
was a celebration of the nations holiday.
There was a chorus of boys and girls
who sang America on that day for the
first time. I don't remember whether 1
tried to sing It. Later in life DR.. Smith
told me how he came to write the verses
to the tune of God Save the King
'The minister of Park Street church told
him that there was to be a celebration OF
the Fourth of July at the church and that
he wanted DR.. Smith to write some verses
of a song for It, and handed to DR.. Smith
a number OF English and German music
books and told him to find some tune in
