A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
of medicines. See other column.

WESTERN KANSAS.
A Grazing but not an Agri-
cultural Region.
What an Old Farmer has to
say of it.

The following letter is from an old resi-
dent of this section of the State, who, for
the past thirty years has been a successful
farmer in Mercer county. He is evidently
familiar with the subjects treated of in his
contribution, and enters word Of protest
against the claim made by certain persons,
that western Kansas is naturally fine ag-
ricultural region.
His letter Is subjoined:
Mr. EDITOR; E. w. Miller and thought
we would take trip to Kansas. to visit
my brother and numerous friends. We
had good time and thought that would
give description of the country for the
benefit of your readers. [ have ample
reasons for assuring emigrants that west
efn Kansas is not farming section. My
motive is to truthfully portray the eoun-
try to the end that emigrants will seek this
section for the purpose OF embarkng IN
that vocation to which it is essentially
adapted, and the one in which the chances
to win success are all favorable; and to the
end further that men may not seek to ac-
complish the impossible; that they may not
attempt to farm where the chances are all
against success. Farming is not the path
that leads on to success and fortune in
western Kansas. Stock raising is the sue
cessful movement. Farming not only re-
suits in failure to those who attempt such
efforts, but it destroys the country rs
grazing field, and thus prevents the success
that might otherwise have been accom-
plished.

IRRIGATION

is practicable. There are not rivers, creeks
and springs enough in western Kansas to
irrigate, and why try to farm where's the
labor and expense of irrigation is indis
pensible, even if irrigation were possible,
when one can raise stock on the same land
without this labor and expense? Why
seek farms in section where one must
water his crops, when there are thousands
upon thousands of acres in other sections
where farming pays Handsomely Why
entice men into farming when it will not
payf Why not tell the world that Western
Kansas is a grand grazing field that yields
large profits and where there is room for
hundreds more of stock raisers. The man
ner in which Immigrants are deluded to
take land that will net yield compensation
for labor expended in their cultivation is
shameful; aud the men who are urging
farmers to go out west are not friends of
the Immigrants nor friends of the State,
for in the long run it will be seen that no
has wrought a greater injury to
the real and permanent interests of Kansas
than this systematic Misrepresentation of
facts by men and who are either ignorant
these facts or else Intentionally
from sinister motives misrepresent the facts.
WESTERN KANSAS
is not suited to agricultural pursuits and
1t is not public policy to inveigle men into
a section wherein they can add nothing to
the aggregate wealth of the State and will
be exceptionally fortunate if they possess
1t the end of ten years as much as they had
when beginning I again urge upon farm
seekers to investigate the experiences of
men who have tried farming in Western
Kansas and not to listen to fine spun
theories. The claim of rain fall in the fu-
lure and ridiculous plans of irrigation are
he twin devices of shrewdness and igno
'ance. G. D. CRABS,
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-03-04
ONE CAUSE ALONE

prevents western Kansas from being good
farming country, and that is the drought.
The section is too destitute of seasons
that is, rainfall in seasons for crops. The
causes that produce rain elsewhere are
lacking there. Those causes are natural
and not until nature remedies her work
will there be rainfall in western Kansas
sufficient and in season to make it an agri-
cultural country. Men who have real es-
tate to sell theorize and claim that there will
be more rain in the future than in the past
but prudent men should stop where the
lands are richer and are admitted to be a
part of a fine agricultural section, and wait
till the increased rain fall begins. There
