  The $\sigma$-terms are calculated at next-to-leading order in heavy baryon
chiral perturbation theory by employing a cutoff regularization. The results do
not depend on the cutoff value to the order we are working . The baryon masses
and $\sigma_{\pi N}(0)$ are used to perform a least-squares fit to the three
appearing low-energy constants and predictions for the two $KN$ $\sigma$-terms
and the strange contribution to the nucleon mass are made. The lack of
convergence in the chiral expansions of these quantities when regularized
dimensionally is overcome in the cutoff scheme. The $\sigma$-term shifts to the
pertinent Cheng-Dashen points are calculated. We also include the spin-3/2
decuplet in the effective theory.
