Hartford Times. Ra-the- r! pain-- TIMELY WARNING five miles wide extending all the way from New York to San Francisco; or, fantastic thought, a land path more than a mile wide all the way from the farthest side of Australia to Maine! For it is 13,000 square miles! One cattle man, whose station lies on the Queensland-Norther- n Territory border, tells you quite casually that it is a horseback journey from his back porch' to the back line of his property. Like many of the older holdings, none of his land is fenced, so the cattle often stray far afield. 125-mi- le During the summer months they move southward into the prevailing winds to rid themselves of the myriad fiies that pester them. Consequently, the station hands often have the task, of riding 250 miles to get their stock back to their own property. The herds also may wander 40 or 50 miles in the direction of storms if they lack water. Early one morning a Geographic staff writer fiew out to a cattle station, 300 miles into the Queensland interior, landed in a field near the house, and taxied up to the gateway. What One Station Is Like. The station was not large as many of the inland stations run, but it was a goodly block of land 1,200 square miles pasturing 25,000 head of stock! As he rode its ranges, he saw one herd of 1,500 steers that. had just arrived from a four months trek of a thousand miles down from the gulf country. From the fattening paddock where they grazed to maroverket was still another land journey. Upon food and water hinges success or failure. How many times tragedy, has stalked beside dried-uwater holes and parched pastures! Whole herds have perished in rigorous seasons and the strenuous labor of cattlemen has come to dramatic nought. As shearing is the! big event on sheep stations, so mustering for branding and sorting is the chief activity on cattle ranches. Herds on this property are handled from 15 mustering camps and it usually takes four to six months to complete the work. Here, where life is attuned to the ceaseless moan and bellow of cattle about water holes and in branding corrals, the American Wild West is Stetson hats reflected. in that have come into fashion in the last few years. But the swaggering cowhand with a handy lariat and a pair of strapped on his thighs is unknown. Australian cattlemen, instead of roping their beasts for branding, in most cases pen them and hold them in a system of gates. Why Duffing Is Rare. Do you have any cattle rustling? you ask. We call it duffing here, replies But its very rare. the manager. Distances are too great; it doesnt pay. . One story that you hear stands out as an excellent example. It seems that two men desired to increase their stock, so when rains had filled water holes along the way, they rode 250 miles to a station and drove off about 300 cattle. The ranch owners and police tracked the animals down and brought them ' back, together with the culprits. 200-mi- le p ten-gall- Now remember, my dear, dinner will be called promptly on time.

For lack of evidence the other man was released. But by the time he got home again he had traveled nearly 3,000 miles! Far out in the interior, remote from railways and easy means of transport, station homes have fewer amenities. There are no electric lights, no refrigerators. Water in canvas sacks is cooled by evaporation on the shady verandas. Yet life is pleasant, and afternoon tea is an established custom. The radio, magic destroyer of distances, brings the worlds news and music to the family living room. Across the vast region, popularly dubbed the back of beyond, ether waves crackle in the evening with friendly chatter between neighbors perhaps 50 or 100 miles apart, for many stations are equipped with radio sending sets. Out here the airplane has likewise proved its worth, for flying doctors now race hundreds of miles on their errands of mercy. Now and then, too, a flying parson may drop in on a station to hold a service. Stock Routes Well Maintained. The government maintains a system of stock routes and tends them with religious care, for they are enterthe arteries of a Across areas prise. they wind dry and twist to touch every available-spring- , stream, and billabong. Australias land map is sketched with a number of these long snaky paths which radiate out to railways and seaboard cities. One begins up in the tablelands of Northern Territory and reaches out to the railheads of Longreach, Winton and Charle-viH- e to serve Townsville and Brisbane. Another starts up in southwestern Queensland, swerves through the northeastern corner of South Australia, and follows down the western boundary of New South Wales until it contacts the railway at Cock-burto find eventual outlet at Adelaide. A third trail connects the Kimberley region of Western Australia with Wyndham, whose meatworks operate during the winter months. In Western Australia, too, another seemingly endless meandering line ties the railheads thrust out into the interior with the expanses of North-- 1 ern Territory. On these tenuous channels, hundreds of miles in length, you see streams of steers moving out toward the ports, eventually perhaps to provide chilled beef for the London market or bully beef for British Tommies or jack-tarUnlike Argentina, where wild herds once roamed and men needed only to Tound them up, the Australian cattle industry has been built up gradually from small beginnings Frozen-meof half a century ago. contracts have provided the impetus. In recent years, however, Australia has seen new handwriting on her economic wall. With improved refrigeration facilities and fast ships, fresh chilled meat has come to England from the Argentine. Against it frozen meat cannot compete. Learning to Chill the Meat. So the commonwealth has turned to its scientists to learn whether it, too, can deliver chilled beef to the London market, a distance handicap of 13,000 miles. In the Brisbane abattoirs experts have tackled the problem. With test tubes and refrigeration chambers, and with bacterial, fungal and yeast growths under their microscopes, they are learning the conditions necessary for meat to maintain its full freshness and color durthat it ing the must be on the high seas. ! . hand-operat- NERVOUS?

It is made of soft blue denim and is embroidered in heavy white cotton. Napkins may be made to match, or plain white napkins may be used. Here are all the directions you will need for the embroidery.

Hem the edges by hand inch hems, using matching with cotton sewing thread or raveled threads of the fabric if they are strong enough. Now, blanket stitch over the hems with the embroidery thread as ' shown here at A. Next, make tiny chain stitches between the blanket stitches as at B.
