Pork can be readily obtained in Missouri at or
&c per pound cheaper than it is here. Hogs
faf Hpon the acorns of the burr oak without the
slightest care or attention, and pork must be
very cheap for years to come. Wild meat, deer,
buffalo and Wild fowl are cheap and abundant.
Beet and taliow are cheaper here shan in Wis
consin, and must be still more so as cattle are
being brought in extensively
ROUTES FOR EMIGRATION.
| The young men without families who have 10
teams, furniture tools to bring, had better
come down to Alton, H., and ,ake boat for
Kansas or Leavenwor'h City. The present
prices of passage very high, ST. from Alton
to Leavenwo The ordinary rate of fare is
| $lO or -
| The expense of a passage from Milwaukee,
would not exceed $50 in the summer time For
families the land route through Iowa and the
corner of Missouri to Fort Leavenworth. or
Allston, Mo-, is far preferable. No difficulty
! Will be found in crossing by this route with
teams, as soon as the feed starts in Iowa, which
will probably be about the LIST of May 1t would
be safe to wait till the middle of May, and make
a thorough preparation. No disturbance need
| be apprchended by = strong party, passing
through Missouri, if it be pre- pared for anu emer-
gency. The wagons should be well covered
and the tops painted, so as to be Waterproof
tram should be provisioned and equipped so
as to live IN their wagons till Claims could be
secured ano houses built. 1t is a very pleasant
mode of lite in this latitude, and gives n charm
to pioneering which most people relish heartily
Oxen are preferable in the main for a train, but
II man has good horses, he had better bring
them The trip across Iowa will occupy about
four weeks and would be mere pleasure cx-
curson to people who are not cffeminale OF
toosh!y iastduus.
