~tarRsvile. where autos from StarKs-

ures with them.
On the ride over to Starksvile. as
we came to its environs, we passed
fine herd or SO of those black dairy
cattle, which the owners had urged
Jver near the road In the pastures

they were. Almost big as buffaloes
snd reminding the writer of some Of
the big framed cattle we have seen
n Canada aud the North where
their pasture grasses are so rich in
strong nutriment from the heavy
oack Ioam soil which :haracterizes
that part OF our great continent.
Soon the water-tanks and tops OF
dhe high buildings loom into view
and we are running through the
