EDITOHS DKMOCKAT: We started for Kansas November 21, and arrived in Toronto the 23rd. It waB cloudy and rainy all the week, then cleared olt and has been warm and nice as summer weather ever since. This is termed tbe Sunflower State, but I think Bleeding Kansas the more appropriate term as the land agents and business men try to bleed every one they can, especially land seekers of which I have met quite a number from Iowa and other states. Tbe farming here is different than in Iowa. It IB mostly stock raising. The crops are corn, KaOir corn and Borglium for stock feed. Corn yields 15 to 35 bush els per acre and Kaflir corn about the same when thrashed. Stock sells at higher prices than in Iowa, but it is not as good quality. There are many western cattle fed here, yet the people do not seem to be overloaded with prosperity, neither business men nor farmers. Butter,eggs and poultry do not bring cash, farmers have to take trade or duebills until they want to trade more. Merchants issue Bhinplasters or script, same was UBed in war times. Still I cannot see why this is so. for this is as One a a looking country aB one can tind any where. Timber is quite Bcarce but there is coal on every man farm 3 to feet deep. 1 think I have written more than you can cipher out and will close, Yours truly M. ELDRIDGE. NORTH MANCHESTER NOTES. Rev.
