The Herd Law Question,

The following points in favor of the
enactment of a herd law, are from the
Topeka Commonwealth, and are well
put, and successfully meet many of the
strongest objections urged against such
law. There can be but little doubt
that the enormous cost of fencing re-
CURED in the eastern portion of the
State is one influence that induces the
bulk of the immigration 10 seek homes
in the central aud western portions.
Indeed, the fact that those counties
where the herd law prevails are in
creasing from 60 to 100 per centin pop
ulation faster than the others, is some
what conclusive on that point. The
Commonwealth says:
The great cry among a certain class
of men is that the adoption of the herd
law will drive the business of cattle
raising into the hands of few rich
men. The experience in every county
where il has been tried is right the oo-
posiie of this. Under the present sys-
TEN the poor man, with a few acres,
poorly fenced, has been at the mercy
of the large cattle owners. Their cat
tie have broken in and DESTROYED the
poor mans crops, aud there was no
remedy. because in hire cases out of
ten the fence has not been up TO the
standard TO make it a legal one. I'm
der the herd law system the rich cattle
owner must take care of his stock. and
If il tresspasses on the premises of The
poor man, he must pay the damages.
The final clinchcr on the part of an
Ii herd law men, is to ask how drove
of cattle is going TO be driven through
q county without fences? In answer.
we say that IN counties where there is
herd law, there is no trouble expert /
enced and that ought to settle the ques-
ton. BY the way, it is the experience
OF every county that has adopted the |
herd law, that its most bitter oppo-
nonts become its staunchest friends af- |
ter trial of single year. This is uni |
versal. There has never been an in
stance known where u county has gone !
back to the "fence out cattle" system
where once the opposite system Of "ev-
cry mans taking care of his own cat
tie" has been in vogue.

Barbour County Politics. ,

Tho people of Barbour county, tired
of being swindled and misreprcscnted,
met and passed 4 series of resolutions
defining their position upon matters
politically, civilly and morally, and for
warded the same TO the EAGLE for
publication. For some cause or other
the resolutions never reached our hands
until last Saturday, some two weeks
after The elections, so their publication
would come little late. The resolu-
tions denounced the notorious ring OF
bond thieves, and declares that no man
ever connected with the sale of said
bonds, or who ever handled any of the
illegal scrip, shall ever hold office i'll
Barbour county.
The resolutions protect all claim
holders in their rights and will allow
no jumping; also favor the herdins
of Texas cattle within the boundaries
OF the county but ask the Legislature
to enact law taxing suOh cattle, and
empowering the county to hold them
until taxes are paid.

Grant Township.

| VALLEY CENTER, Nov. Is, 1872.
| ED. EAGLE-As the election is over
and The excitement almost done, |
think little domestic news would not
be out of place, and as have seen no
account of any spondent for your
worthy paper from this township. |
Deg leave to fill small space, and in
form the rest of the county that Grant
township is not yet dead Wheat look ;
well, but corn is considerably damaged
| by the worm, and will not make as full
crop as was anticipated.
The biggest thing of the season in
he line of husklng, occurred last
Thursday at corn husking given BY
Mr.. McCafferty, with the promise of a
social hop at night. The boys husked
and cribbed five hundred and forty
| bushels of corn and danced ali night
The dance was fully as well attended
as the husking, the house being filed
10 Overlooking. The music BIZ the Nc
Caflerty boys was splendid. Attwelye
o'clock, supper was served, aud such
pies aud cakes and such quantity OF
X, showed Mrs. MeCalferty to be mas
ter of the culinary art. Maybe some
there did not appreciate it, but if they
lived as hard at home as | do, they
would be pleased to attend corn musk
ing at Mr.. McCaflerty's once every
week this winter.
We have no literary society estab-
'ished here yet, but preparations are
being made for one.
Our little town of Valley Center is
doing q good business, run by Car
rothers Bros. Plenty of goods, plenty
Of customers (not cash, but corn Gus
tomers,) and do not know now maaj
clerks, but plenty. They run the post
ofiice, drug store, grocery, dry goods,
lumber yard, coal yard, also the hotel
and First National Bank of Valley Cen
ter. We have no saloon and don't
want any, but | think such machine
would pay if we could trade corn for
the extract.
And now, Mr.. EAGLE, if not mi; i'd

limits Of The Slate on all sides. All
this prairie is beautiful, very beautiful,
covered everyw here with a rich growth
Of grass, dotted here and there with
ileids of corn, habiiations and herds OF
line cattle and sleep. II is not fiat aud
even like lower Louisiana. but hindu
lated in round, smooth, graceful >wells
like the sea when the storm has sub,ld-

to an altitude, above the general level,
of hundred feet or more, thus diver
styling the surface i'll hills, valleys and
slopes of wonderful beauty
Kansas is, in Il general way destitute
of timber, though there is Il considera-
Die amount of il scattered along the

quantity To suffice for the demands fer

purposes the farmers are generally
using the bois dare, or Usage orange,
which grows into Il good defensive
hedge here III from three TO tour years.
aud i'll many cases they make stone

unlimited quantities of the best of ma
terlal for this purpose. as well for 9th

farm of $500 acres is surrounded BY
stone wall five feet high. and of the
most substantial character. built at u
cost of 1926 per rod. All the princi-
pal buildings on his place, some OF
which are very large. and three stories
high, are built of the same material.
An abundance of excellent lime is also
made from the rocks of these hills.
