Bleeding, Kansas.
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
