Z. H. HowARD.-Am in favor of the
West. Have worked in these N. h.
States and am not satisfied. We have
to feed stock about seven months in
year, and | see no inducements especial
ly for a young man to remain here. |
should certainly start West if | was a
young man and had money enough to
get there, and / would recommend all
young men to go West for all staying
in Vermont.
d. F. CUsHING.-W Would say to the
young men living in N. E., act wisely
and go West can see no inducements
for you here. A young man gathers up
little money and starts West, inquiries
for labor, obtains it he forms new ac-
quaintances, is pleased, writes for
friends to come; they meet together talk
of the prospect, settle down and form a
colony there which springs up into an
intelligent community and produces
twice what N. E. can to-day. | invite
you young man to go West, you will
never have any standing here. 1t is the
young men from N. E. that soon begin
to have influence and standing in the
West 1t is our Western men that are
soon going to carry the sway. We are
in great measure dependent upon the
West. Then / invite you once more,
think of the West and turn you face
westward.
l.. w. BIssELL.- has been my lot
to see some Of the Western country, and
think my friend last up would think as
| do had he seen the same. Take for
instance the greatest boon health, here
in N. E. is where we enjoy it, In the
West they raise a good deal, but they
have to work hard fer it. 1t takes four
bushels of corn to make one of equal
value here. So in stock, it can be rails
ed easier there than here, but the value
is not more than. half what it is here.
Fever and ague RACES in many parts of
ILL.,, especially the southern part, have
had some experience with that disease
which was not pleasant, and knowing
what / do cannot invite the farmers of
N. L. to leave these healthful and hap
Ply homes for the many disadvantages
| they will certainly encounter in the West.
l.. 0. PowERs.-If the West wants

been there. Such an ono will mention
all the beauties of a land nowhere to be
found. And | notice that those with

great disadvantages which time and
money never will remove. Many of the
great necessities of life are manufacture

for them to purchase. Water is neces

effects are marked upon man and crea
