ABILENE is beautifully situated on q small
stream Of clear running water, one mile north
| Of the Smoky Hill River. near the geographical
centre Of Dickinson county, and on the great
thoroughfare from the Missouri River to the
Gold Regions, New Mexico, and California. 1t
is the only town between Junction City and
Salina, and is located midway-being twenty
five miles from each. The country around
ABILENE is the most fertile and beautiful that
can be found in the State-its character being
an intermixture Of timber and prairie, pecu-
harry adapted to agricultural purposes. The
fertility of the soil, the excellence Of the water
the healthfulness of the location, and the abun-
dance of timber and building stone, are induce
merits of no ordinary character; while in
addition, the rich mineral resources of this
portion Of the State, The Salt Springs, and
extensive Coal Fields west Of US on the Smoky
Hill, insuring the early completion Of Rail
Road from the Missouri River, makes it one of
the best natural business points in the State.
The town was laid out six months ago, since
which time over one hundred lots have been
sold, and it now contains a store, blacksmith
shop hotel, Post Office, and several families.

them are rich they chiefly follow ths
military profession or that Of the bar, or
else hold situations under Government
They have a marked aversion to eVery
kind OF honest lebor, and constitute the
nucleus of the Republican party. Juarsa
belongs to this class, which numbers
about 100000. 3. The Indians reduced

keen theSheep at Home.

The high price of pelis is inducing
some farmers 70 sell 9heir sheep. We
think they err in so doing. Mutton is
now comparatively Iow.g The. only reas.
on why sheep are high is on account of
the demand for wool bu! as there is lit
tie reason to anticipate any reduction IN
the price of wool before the next clip
comes in, and assthere is every reason TO
,believeethatim alton will be much higher
next spring than tits at present; we think
IL far better to keep andfeedthe sheep
during the winter, lthaneio slaughter
Ahem now; ve eli 81 iT1oTF ia
Fanening sheep in winter, if properly
attended to, is, one of The most profitable
branches of American agriculture. Il is
so not because the sheep increase much
in weight, but rather because of the en-
HANGED price of mutten in the spring. If
we had to depend merely on hatsheep
gain in weight. ii would hardly pay to fat
ten themain winter. The iucrease in mutt
ton would scarcely paysfor the amount of
fodder consumed, Thus sheep, weigh
ing 100 pounds, would eatahree pounds
of hay per day, or It's equivalent, and in-
crease say one and a half pounds per
week. From the middle. of November
until the middle of March, such a sheep
would eat 336 pounds Of hay; and alive
get 20 pay for it is 24 pounds of mutton
worth, at six cents per pound. 81. A or
1857 per ton for the hay. Bot supposing
such sheep TO be now worth three cents
pei pound, we should getforth the $50 lbs,
of hay consumed, $500, or over $500
per tom This is The proper light in
whichgwe consider the question of fatten-
ing sheep iuwinter, and we feel conf
dent thatit will be found :profiteble. ol

Mution is now frequently sold by the.car1

We have said nothing about the value
Of the manure, because, as yet, the farm
ers do not take this into consideration
Fa!tening sheep in winter, will pay with
odt reckoning in the manure; butlt is
clear that in esumating the comparative
profit of selling the bay or feeding it out
on the farm, the value of the manure
