FARMING LIFE IN RHODESIA.
It is a popular belief that Rhodesia is fit for little else but unprofitable gold mining and precarious stock farmiug. But the truth is that Rhodesia is a land where cheap labour and unlimited supplies of timber, water and grass put a comfortable livelihood within the reach of everyone who has no inviucible prejudice agaiust hard work. There are unhealthy districts, but these are rapidly being cleared, and as disease is being controlled and fresh curatives and preventives discovered, the danger from epidemic becomes appreciably less. Here is a huge laud crying for white meu, offering solid inducements to settlers, possessing a splendid climate, and apparently asking in vain. The conditions of land tenure are easy. A lease is granted by the Chartered Company to a settler for five years, if he desires it, and the reDt is computed at five per cent, per annum on the agreed purchase price.
