On an Estancia.

Quillalauquen," an average es-
tancia, is located on the Southern rail
way within eight hours train time of
BuenoS Aires. The area embraces
over 100000 acres; the stock consists
of 100000 sheep. 1900 cattle, $500
horses, 500 mileh cows, and thousands
of swine. The personnel which keeps
the wheels of this large establishment
in good running order includes more
than 500 men, women and children. The
families are scattered over the estate !;
and to the head of each household is
delegated certain duties. For instance,
the milking of 500 COWS twice daily Is
an enormous task. BY systematic ap-
pOrtionment of the herd over the place,
the actual number ut any given point
is not considered large. The enormous
quantities of milk obtained are brought
to a common point and certain portions
dispatched daily to BHenos Aires.

Tie tiH4sE Ia November; and in Ar
seutina the haayast days We're drawing
near, for be it remembered that sea-
sons in the far South are reversed.
As the day advanced and we became
mere Speck moving across leagues
and leagues-not acres-of pampa land
the novelty of the journey gave place
to serious thought The farther we
advanced the more lonely the whole
country appeared, for we We're not
within the zone of waving fields of
grain or the feHeed-iH estancia (farm)
Around Us stretched the open country
and the far-away horizon closed the
view; here and there gently rolling
lands merged into level tracts that ap-
peared to have no limit the plains bore
broWnish-green color, occasionally "a
windmill came into view
Wherever the windmill stands one
may expect to see well-trodden earth,
for thousands Of hoofs have 0bliterated
every sestige of grass Even the dumb
driven beasts seem to learn by intui-
ton the location of this thirSt=queneh-

Is ever and always welcome oasis.
Near by this popular retreat the
gaueho has his humble abode, and
days weeks or possibly months may
pass with the sight of few new
faces; still he rides DER the pampa
and watches the grazing herds with
faithfulness not always appreciated
by the landed proprietor, who lives
in princely style miles away.
The custom of the actual owner of
the estate spending a great part of the
time away from home opens numerous
opportunities for managers or superin-
tendents on the estancia, and some of
these executives have a vast amount
of responsibility resting upon their
shoulders.

a more serious problem than that of
killing time instead of killing Mex
leans. And 1t is fortunate also for
our country that this is the case.
The welfare of the nation should be
the desideratum OF true patriotism.
The fact that their presence on the
Mexican border, even though the
state may be one of ''innoccuous des-
uetude", has perhaps prevented n
condition of affairs more serious.
and the end sought for has been and
is being attained. The presence Of
the guardsmen has been and Is neces-
sary, and their feeling of patriotism
should be justified and their hearts
solaced that they have accomplished
the ends for which they were en-
listed, even though they have not
shed blood by bucAetfuls and caus-
ed heartpangs at home. However,
the feeling OF unrest and perhaps
dissatisfaction on their part Is hui
man, and was to De expected. Old
soldiers knew that just such tenn
Iperament would manifest itself. II
