En-. JoUR-SAL.-Allow me through
the columns of your paper To ventilat,
some of the observations ] have made
since residing in your pretty little city
for few days-and | will say in this
connection that there are few if any
| cities in the state in which l would
| rather east my lot than this: and with
| the prospect of new railroad, | see no
reason why your city should not take
| rank among the first in Importance III
| her market and trade ~ well rs her
| manufactures, which | can assure you
are of no mean proportions in those
| ALREADY established and those under
| contemplation.
Last week | had the pleasure of
| visiting the farm under the care of NJ.
| III. Baglcy. and from appearances there
are few farms in older states which
show such care and general good SUI
pervisiOn a. does this one, and one
that l. in better state of cultivation
and fine appearance-surrou a.
u il 10y fire hedge, with a good run
ming stream of water directly through
| the center. which makes il valuable
for grain and stock raising.
But that which struck me most
favurahly Was u Sulky Plow made by
one al your own townsmcn, Mr.. An
drew Muir. which for utility is far
above any plow manufactured in this
country A. Twas considered a COM
pcieut judge of the gang and sulky
pillow, ! y asked To go once around
the field and most assurcdly had
a good opportunity 10 test its mer-
it,. In the first place the ground was
very Try and sun flowers reaching To
the heavens, thought, and in fact
everything against any pillow doing
good work. Still when that land was
finished there was not sun flower tn
show i'll head. and for ease of draft.
regulating depth and sand eat, | have
never seen its equal. And when the
same was compared with work done
10y the John Deere Fiow working To
the, same field there was found Ia IL. no
comparison whatever. | have always
been an aimircr of that plow but |
will give the cake la the Salina Plow
10y large majority.
Mud ] am glad Ia hear that the citi
ZcHS at this county are aware of its
merits, and will make this pillow, and
consequently this To day the leading
enc in thr state. and show that they
will paIronizr home industries, where
they 80 successfully compete with any
other mandatory either east or west.
And To- the sam" conclusion. there j.
another branch al iaiu~tTy soon to go
into 81, 4, >>fu! operation. which I wish
