better food and attention, has produced
a superior enimal; better bodies, cleaner
limbs, better action, and a, heavier ani-
mal. From 1,600 to 1,800 pounds are
common weights, and ton weights are
not uncommon alxtutpu blic works, where
heavy certing is needed. A Canadian,
at first glance, is apt to think that it ie
surely a great absurdity to have snch
lumbering, telibwieldy animals plodding

great evalkers--try a. waik alongside, and
even with 3,000 pounds at their heels,
they will in many instances make their

of Mr. M—, I started fo • the "Domin-

and surpassed in grandeur our, most

of our vision lay the magnificent undu-

orchards, vineyards, endless corn fields,
winding little streams, lined with thick,
bushy topped trees, like those that grow

like long green. scipents, wending their
