The firatarrival of seitlers to the now colony waa ia May, 1873, aud at that time, with the exception of tho railroad depot, and the reception-house, built by the atlroad Company, uader contract with Mr, Grant for the uro of tho colony, there was not a houss within 10 wiles. At the presont timo so rapid hins been tho growth and itnprovemesnt in the wealth and nterial proeperty of ths colony that there fs not an acre of iand for mile within 10 milas of Vicloria on thasouth, and thoro are along tho lino of tho Victoria Iliver s number. of fine limeatone residonces. ~ Vietoria Colony differs ridely, avd {0 many fm- porteut reepects, from _any other col- ony in the Unlted States, 3r.

Tho sotlers are, therefore, far above the condition of ordinary farmera, being mado up of tho soan of noblewen, tradesmen, arti. eans, sod well-to-do farmert, The first par- chaser and settior in the colony was the Hon.

Taking tho past year us au averaze of the nextten years, tho profity of this flock, allowing 13 per cent less thaushown in the iast year's increass, will amount 10 at loast §2,500,000, on the plan of reinvesting yearly two-tlirds of the prooseds of the #ales of wool, mutton, wethers, etc., in the pur- chase of fresh breeding ewos.

Except i ntormy weather, which Insts only a few days at & tiwy, the sheop ars alowed to ran at large dur- ing the daytime. Tms dlan of berding and Ieeding has reduced tho death rato to a very luw porcentago, wid sbo lucrease of tho weol clip from the iwported rams and graded merino ewes lhas mnoarly doubled in tho past yoar. A half-gradod miotino sbesp clips about 4 pounds o wool, whereas Lir, Grant's clip from lus improved yoarlings was ovor 7!¢ ponuds, Dolieving preveution bettor than curs, tho plan ndopted by Mr. Grant for keeping tho shoep healthy is &8 followa: Iio has a sheop- bath, in which he dips bis shieep twico s year, immodiately alter shearivg and at the end of summer, avd by his arrangomeuts bo can dip 1,000 slieop per day.
