"Huh! who ever heard of butterfly-broke horses?" Billy chaffed. "That's worth fifty bucks more on their price." "Wait till you get across the Oregon line into the Rogue River Valley," they were told. "There's God's Paradise climate, scenery, and fruit-farming; fruit ranches that yield two hundred per cent. on a valuation of five hundred dollars an acre." "Gee!"
