The Atchison Champion says
The great need of Kansas farmers is
barns. How many will you see in
q days journey even through Atch-
ison county? Where are the old
fashioned Pennsylvania barns, with
stabling for a hundred head of stock,
mows capacious enough to store
away hay to feed five hundred head,
bins for corn, wheat, oats, and 9th
err cereals of a large harvest, and
room to protect all wagons and ma
chinery of the farm from the rains
of simmer and the SHOWS of winter.
A country which has these barns lie
rich and Independent. The farmer
who has such a barn holds on until
prices suit him, and always gets
good prices. His horses and cattle
are fat and healthy, his machinery is
kept in good order, and he lives
well and grows rich. When Kan
sas has such barns on every farm
she will not fear grasshOppers, re-
lief societies will not be known in
the land, and prosperity will he
