LETTER FROM A CHASE COUNTY
FARMER.
CEDAR CREEK, March 26, 1870.

CEDAR CREEK, March 26, 1872.
EDITOR News. Everything here
is still moving pleasantly, except
fall wheat and cattle. Fall wheat
will be almest an entire failure.
Many cattle have died, aud unless
grass comes soon many more will.
From the accounts of many this
8 tate has usually had much milder
winters than the past. These state
ments heretofore have caused many
to neglect pr. pairing for extremes,
and the result is q heavy loss in
stock. Last fall all cattle were fat
now, nearly all are poor, and many
are UeTy poor. Az
Though the winter has been cold
and windy IL has not, upon the
whole, been disagreeable. With the
untold millions of bushels of wheat,
corn, oats, rye, buckwheat, potatoes,
turnips, peas, beans, etc., that lie in
the virgin soil of this State, there is
NO need of stock making the sad ap-
pearance it now does. The idea OF
wintering cows, calves and stock
cattle all together, and On prairie
hay almost entirely, is erroneous.
A hundred fold more cattle may be
easily kept seven months Of the year
without any other feed than grass,
and perhaps many seasons some lon
ger. But to keep all stock in good
condition and growing, more solid
food must be given in winter. To
do this more Of these rich bottoms
androlling prairies must be breught
into cultivation. ID
Now,whether the hsrd law win be
detrimental or beneficial in devel.
oping the agricultural resources OF
the State, time will in . few years
determine. The Usage Orange will
be almost exclusively used for fenc-
ing, and whatever system can be
adopted by farmers TO live, improve
and grow . hedge till 1t will turn
stock, is the system we need. IT
Marion and Butler counties accept
the herd law and Chase county does
not, In less than ten years their i'm
proved farms, wealth and popula-
ton will be double ours, with ali
our "natural advantages" can
psme parties now on homesteads in
Marion county who located one year
ago, herded their stock while grass
lasted, stabbed afterwards, raised

dition, milk and butter plenty, from
twenty to ANY acres broke, and the
Homestead broke around ready for
hedging this spring: This looks
like business: Thar fsRms Wiii coon
be fenced and otherwise improved,
while 6ars will o0ntiaae very much
as now, with abont enough half
fenced along the streams to barely
live, 9ud in the fall as the pasture
grows short to tempt cattle to jump.

THE LIBERAL MOVEMENT.


We advise all Republicans not to
be in a hurry to leave the old party,
that has done so much for the eoun-
try in the last twelve years. There is
q disposition on the part of many
minds TO take up with everything
that is new. The cant phrases about
Independents" freedom" "subsi-
died press" ETC., I'LL many people
with & sort OF reckless enthusiasm,
and they at once assert their rights
by breaking away from the party
that they have helped to victory and
glory. We ind this kind of people
in every walk of life. Once let tbs
adherent of any form OF religion
get tlIeTidee that be fs OPP
pressed by the rulings of the church
and his .'independentp soul reVOlts.

ahall not do SO now. Indeed, we

tunes. But Republicans ought not
to be in too much hurry to rush into
ahythiug and everything that pre-
cents itself TO their consideration.
II those who are opposed to Grant
can unite with the Democrats, and
then IL Mr.. Schurz can marshal the
Germans wlth any considerable
unanimity, the new movement will
be strong. Otherwise 1t will not.
We see very little probability or
such union. At ieast half the
Democrats are opposed TO 1t. and

.PEnsoS1L.AWe had a pleasant
call, u few days ago, from State Sen
J ator Z. {. Sears. of Ottawa. He is
now principal attorney, in Kansas,
for the M. x. g. T. railroad com
pany, and was making business
tour through the valley. Besides
being one of the best lawyers in the
State, Judge Sears is gentleman of
fine address, of the best social quail =
=, ties, and, a good man in all respects.
BY all odds he was the strongest man
in the last Senate. Heis one of the
best speakers IN the State, and his
speeches in the Senate were al
ways clear and forcible. He was
the most fearless, logical and con-
Vincing DICTATOR on the door OF that
body. Throughout the two years
lac was consistent, and no man in
the Senate made . better record.
Our associations with him were of
the pleasantest eharacte-, ard We
shall always remember them with
the best of feelings. We are glad
to know that our friend has n "good
thing" tnThis present position, and
is enjoying a lucrative practice be-
sides. We should be glad If the
people should cay to him, at the
proper lime, f'come up higher in
