Passing of the Big Ranch.

Charles S. Goodnight, a pioneer ranchman in the Texas Panhandle a generation ago, says that this generation has seen the passing of the 1,000,000 acre ranch, and that immense tracts in one body have seen their day in Texas. Mr. Goodnight says that ten men with 10.000 acres each can operate more successfully than one man on 1,000,000 acres.
