A nominal fee secures to the settler a Government title. In Montana and Wyoming cattlemen consider that each head of cattle would require from fifteen to ""wenty- five acres if the land was enclosed. This gives one some idea of the requisite extent of a range for a large herd. The " squatter's right, '' in contradistinction to " pre- emption, " which latter is the taking possession of unsur- veyed land by building on it, or improving it, comes into play in the case of unoccupied but surveyed land. By it, every adult who shows that he intends to live on the land himself, acquiring it for that purpose only, and not for speculating, is entitled to 160 acres; or if the land comes under the denomination of desert lond, under which head the Great Plains generally are placed, to 620 acres; for this surveyed land Government charges the settler 5«. per acre (the 620 acres of desert land being considered, in point of payment, equal to 160 acres of good soil) distri- buted in certain proportions over five years, thus enabling the poorest to found a home. Of course, unoccupied land can be bought to any extent for ready money from Government, but naturally this occurs rarely, as by moving farther West, land, as we have seen, can be had for nothing. If the settler, occupying soil by squatter's right, has grown-up sons, they in their turn can benefit by the same Act; the intention of Government being the high cultivation of small expanses, rather than the careless or only partial imp
