No settlee owns the pine on his lot, it is owned always by some compâ€" any but he may use atl he needs for building purposes. In clearing he notiâ€" lies the company to that effect and if they do not remove it he is privileged to burn it. Very often the settler buys the pine from the company. Stock . raising will be yet a very important inâ€" | Justry in this country on account of some of the> land being better for pasture than any thing else and water is very pleniifal.
