A VAST GRAZING COUNTRY.
Madagascar Along the West Coast Has
Great Cattle Lands.

! Orest cattle Ianos.
Madagascar possesses on the west
coast and in the central plateau vast
grazing lands, say Engineerins These
! extend in great rolling lands along the
slopes and wide backs of hill ranges,
having good. natural herbace and are
well watorcd by numerous streams and
rivers. The cattle lands are best in
the province of Ambatondrazzaha but
continue to the northern parts Of the
island. which are still almost unknown.
Cattle breeding is already the main
occupation of the natives. end it is
estimated there are over 10000 head
in the island today. The malagasy are
devoted To their cattle. which they hold
up to 100 head To a single owner. and
they are qualified both BY instinct and
experience to handle them. But the
island is sparsely populated containing
under 3,OOO,O00 OF people on an area
as large as France. and largo tracts
are practically unoccupied. Those
acquainted with the upland country
believe il To he teeming with possibih-
ties, for cattle ranching on large
scale, In accordance with the up TO-
date methods practiced in Australia
and America. So far this has not been
attempted i'm any systematic manner
though company with British capita
has recently established an ice plant
in the island. This will no doubt lead
to further effort in the same direc-
tion. and the existence of this enter
prise certainly adds TO the chances OF
others operating in the country. There
is a very good market i'm France Itself,
where. owing to shortage OF most sup
plies, the French consumers have late
~ been ia a serious position.

he followed them into the district
clerks office, shook hands with
them and thanked them for their
