Kansas Abroad.
We clip the following from a late nam
ber of the Zanesville, Ohio, Courier, as
showing the esteem in which Kansas is
held by the people of the Buckeye State:
"The grass in the rich lands of Kansas
is reported to be nine feet high. The
Kansas cattle ought to grow to the size of
elephants on such pasture land. There
appears to be but little doubt that Kan
sas i d.ie of the bsat States in the Union
for agricultural as well as grazing pur
poses. California seems not to be well
adapted to small farmers, and many of
those who sought the golden shores last
year, have returned, and others are re-
turning. Persons owning ranches con
taining from five to a hundred thousand
acres will not dispose of their land in
small tracts. The whole body could be
bought in many instances, if farmers
would Club together and make the pur
chase, and then cut it up into small
farms. Here, however, great difficulties
.are met wih at the outset. The ranches
generally cannot be cut up to suit small
farmers. There are large bodies ol
mountain land connected with most
ranches, only suitable for sheep raising.
Where the land is goodjbr farming
purposes, it is held at so high a figure,
that it is beyond the reach of most small
farmers. It will be mlriV vears before
California will bo tilled by small farmers.
The indications are now, that the people
will flock to Kansas in the coming
spring and possess the land. Land is
cheap, climate pleasant and healthful,
water good, and the soil is rich. The
State has been under a cloud for a few
years but its future looks brighter to-day
than for years past."
upon their feet. In the young state the
pure merino1 is much more delicate than
the coarse-wool. The large amount and
superior quality of the wool furnished
by the merino is another argument great
ly in their favor. The offspring of the
"natives" of the East, or the common
Missouri ewes and merino rams, will
unquestionably give the largest satisfac
tion in Kansas.
Sheep introduced from the East should
reach here as soon as possible after shear
ing, in order that they may become ac
customed to our grasses while they are
juicy and most palatable. The common
est of all mistakes and the prime cause
of nine-tenths of the failures with sheep

in jvansas, is iiegicci m mis matter.
The sheep as purchased of Eastern
farmers are generally "broken-mouthed,"
worn out specimens; these, arriving in
the State late in the season, weary and
exhausted from the long journey, are
turued loose upon the prairies to feed
up.in the dried grass. It is not surpris
ing that under such circumstances whole
flocks frequently perish the first winter
after their arrival.
, In this latitude sheep should receive
the protection of good sheds during the
winter months, and the grass around the
winter shed should be allowed to attain
as heavy growth as possible, so as to fur
nish feed during the fine weather of
winter. To best accomplish this it will
generally be found desirable to have the
summer "corral" and winter sheds a
considerable distance apart. For young
and healthy sheep, hay will generally be
found a sufficient winter food, but aged
sheep and Iambs should have a little
grain every day, and will pay well for
such extra care.
At the present time there are not far
from two thousand heep in Riley coun
ty, aud of these twelve hundred have
been brought into the county since the
first of March. Of the sheep thus lately
introduced, J. H. Lee owns seven hun

Horn Alfred Gray:
Dear Sir : I am very glad to do any
thing within my power for the advance
ment of sheep husbandry in this State,
fur I believe that Kansas possesses certain
natural advantages which, when our
people are properly educated, will make
it oae of the "groat wjoI growing States."
I say "when oar people are properly
educated," for wool growing is a different
matter from raising corn or wheat, or
herding cattle; it demands a good degree
of natural ta3tc and speciaIJ:ri5wIedgeof
the work, and the difficulties to be en
countered in it. The consiberable suc
cess, no less than the disastrous failures
that have been made in wool-growing in
this part of the State, will, I think, bear
me out in this statement. Without
attempting to reply to your questions in
the order in wiiic'i they are propounded,
I will endeavor to an3wer as fully as
seems suited to your purpose.
First among the "peculiar advantages"
possessed by Kanstis in this matter of
sheep husbandry, mast 1)3 mentioned its

and soil of these regions are not only a ..'., j ,, ,.,
The time to make preparations for the
comfort of animals during the winter
months is immediately. Farmers who
were able to make warm, substantial
stables for their stbek, have, of course
already attended to that but there arc
thousands who must make the old sta
bles, sheds, and pig-stys answer until
they have accumulated a little more, and
such must resirt to less expensive meth
ods of excluding the cold air, am! saving
the amount of fjjJ necessary to preserve
their animals in a good condition.
Every grain growing farmer has, of
course, his straw stack, and straw is an
excellent non conductor of heat. Sta
bles, with olily an outside siding, can
easily be lined with old boards, and the
space between the lining and out-side,
stuffed with straw. In this way a sta
ble can be made as warm as in a close
clap-boarded barn. If boards arc scarce
it will not be necessary to nail the lining
close together, only closo enough to keep
the straw in place.
Cattle should hot be left under open
sheds, or to crouch under the k'eivard
side of straw stacks. If you have noth
ing better than open sheds for your cat
tle, try nailing up two tiers of old boards
in front, filling in between with straw,
line the closed side aud ends, and tic up
your cattle so they may llot hook one
another.
We have known sheep provided with
very comfortable quarters in a low shed
covered with straw, and banked up
arouud with the same material, being
left open in front. If sheep are kept
dry, they will endure quite a low degree
of cold without detriment to their health.
But when they are exposed to cold rains
and their wool filled with water, they
part rapidly with flesh and strength.
Other animals, swine, poultry, &c,
will make liberal returns for a little
labor, judiciously expended in making
their habitations dry and warm. It is
poor economy to allow swine to wade or
be hber-
If a man should recommend a clerk to
a merchant by telling him that the chief
excellence of the friend whom he recom
mended was that he would not forge the
merchant's name, or an engineer should
offer as his credentials trustworthy evi
dence that he would not steal, or a car
penter should be pressed upon a man
about to build a house because he was
not a pick-pocket all these suggestions
would be thought excellent fooling. But
an employer would fall into very grave
thinking if, when he said he wanted men
competent to do his work, he should be
told that -that was a secondary consider
ation to the question whether they would
steal. He would probably come out of
his thinking to remark that il he had
come into a community of sharpers, he
would go elsewhere, and find people who
we're at least and of course henest. A man
may well be aghast if be is told that the
important point in voting for a judge is
to be sure to find one who will not be
bribed, and that, in calling a physician,
the essential question is not if he can
cure, but wili he poison. If a hundred
years have brought us, in casting about
for officers and magistrates of every kind,
to assume that only very great care can
secure common honesty, and that if we
elect to office men who will not forge, or
steal, or commit burglary, or set fire to
houses, we ought to rejoice and celebrate
the great victory, what have we invited
all mankind to Come and look at ?
If we show them great buildings, is
there no fear that they may discover
them to be monuments of great rascality
and jobbery? If we heap up inventions
and machines of every kind, if we display
the exquisite fineness aud elaboration of
our manufactures, magnify the results of
our industry, carry them down into the
mines, whirl them from sea to sea upon a
cloud of Vapor, unroll our dazzling sta
tistics, and challenge the universe to
show so much done in so little time, is
there no danger if the issue be what we
are told that the world may admire
and applaud, and agree that such mowers
and reapers and tedders and sowers, such
cloths and silver and copper and coal,
such notions and knick-knacks and com
forts and conveniences and luxuries, such
school houses and steeping cars and North
River steamboats, were neVcr known,
and are evidently the best of their kind,
and then ask, since the things are so ex
cellent, bow about the people ? and are
they as intelligent, and, above all. hon
est, as with such advantages they ought
to be? Wouldn't it be awkward to have
to reply that, simultaneously with the
magnificent results of machinery and en
terprise and inventive genius which we
had the pleasure to present to the
universe, we were engaged in a tremen
dous struggle to fill our public offices
with men who would not steal ? If that
be a fact there seems to be a good oppor
tunity for humiliation as well as con
gratulation. If our politics have become
mninly an cfiort to secure honesty in of
fice, it is something of Which we ought
to be thoroughly ashamed.
Yet there is no doubt that it is largely
true. In his eulogy upon Mr. Seward
before the Legislature of New York, Mr.
Charles Francis Adams said : "Our fore
fathers would marvel coiild they imagine
it possible for me to claim credit for Mr.
Sewnfd on the score of his honesty as a
public man. Yet the time has come
when we must honor one who never
bought nor sold a vote or a place, and
who never permitted his public action to
be contaminated in the atmosphere of
corporationinfluence." No one can de

Twenty-five years ago Fierce Barber,
then a hat merchant at Fourth and Main
streets, owned a likely boy named Aleck,
who acted as Miter in the store. A few
years later the boy was sold south, and
was hired out on the river. Before the
war broke out Aleck bought himself, or
at any rate became a free man. He lived
in New Orleans, and when the war
closed-, and the black man became an
important factor in the social problem of
the South, he appeared on the surface,
and became known as Hon. A. E. Barber,
State1 Senator. Later, he became wharf-
master, and with office came wealth. Two
years ago he visited Louisville for medi
cal treatment, and was then Brigadier
General of the state Militia. The Ken
tucky slave porter passed up, step by
step, to place and power, and a few days
ago died, the telegraph briefly announc
ing the fact. He died, respected by his
fellow-citizens. Brigadier General Aleck
Barber, ex-slave, ex-State Senator, and
ex-wharf master of New Orleans, was an
evidence of what the whirligig of time
has brought about in the latter days. In
all these places the man was never other
than an honor to his State. He rose from
servitude to place and power, and has

the wors". ciraplaiata.t) which sheep are
subject, n itably foot rot and catarrh. I
am told also that the attacks of antra
ovis are alsi unknown. The great ex
tent of unoccupied "rane" covered with
ibun-lant graues, found in the abund
ance of excellent water and the excecdinz
cheapness of hay for winter forage, must
also be placed among the advantages
possessed by our State in this matter.
B.it sheep husbandry as practiced East,
namely, as part of a system of farm man
agement, is hardly possible in Kanas
except in rare cases. Here sheep must
be kept in considerable herds, with the
herdsman constantly in attendance, and
the range mast n it be limited. The
reasons for this arc : 1. The abundance
ofdr?, waives and coyotes. 2. Expense
of fencing. 3. And most important the
general absence of '-tame grasses" in
Kansas, and the impossibility of pastur
ing closely the native grasses without
destroying them.
Of all the breeds of sheep the merinos
and its grades are best adapted to the
wants ot Kansas. In Colorado and Wes
tern KansAj the favorite sheep, so far as
I have observeJ, are ths cross-bred pro
geny of Mexican and Missouri ewes and
merino rains. The whole argument so
far as breed is concerned, may be brieflv
stated thus: The merinos have the
gregarious instinct mare perfectly devel
oped than any other breed. It is claimed
-that the herdsmen can handle with the
same ease three times as many merino as
of English sheep. Moreover, the merinos
are the hardiest of anv sheep liavinc
anything like their value, when once
promptly removed when saturated
with filth. It will make good manure
but is poor material for even hos to
make their bed on.
If straw should be scarce, earth and
sods can be used to good advantage in
excluding the cold. Farmers frequently
bank up around their dwellings with
earth, but how seldom do they use the
same abundant material to bank up
around their barns or sheds, yet it would
undoubtedly be quite as afficacious in
the one case as in the other. Sods might
also be used as covering for temporary
sheep sheds in the absence of better
material. In banking up around a barn,
the bank should be raised high enough
to cover the sill so as to exclude the air
that often finds entrance between wall
and sill. If only left during cold weath
er, it will do but little injury to the
siding.

tutes for those only who cannot, at pres

Pie Crust Without Labd. 'Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are worse
than wasted, in the use of lard made into
pie crust, annually. To be sure, a white
flaky crust looks nice and tastes better,
but indulging our appetite in its use lays
the foundationfordyspepsia, rheumatism
gout and palsy. For years I have been
experimenting to find out how to make
a palatable pie crust without lard, and
finally have succeeded. The process I
give for the benefit of those who choose
to profit by it: Take irood rich .butter
milk, soda and a little salt, and mix
just as soft as can be mixed and bold
together; have plenty of flour on the
moulding board and rolling pin; roll
very thin ; then make and bake as other
pies, or rather in a slower oven, and
when the pie is taken from the oven do
not cover it up. In this way a dyspep
tic can indulge in tbe luxury of a pie.
