English Stupidity

            There have been many humorous stories told of the experiences of Englishmen in the Northwest, but the following, I think, is something new.  A few years ago a young Englishman took up a ranch in the Territories and stocked it well with horses and cows.  The first winter, on the advice of a neighbor, he bought a lot of bran for his cattle.  It cost a great deal, and the young rancher determined he would not pay out so much money the following winter.  So, when the spring came he plowed twenty acres of his ranch and sowed bran.
