While there is great deal of good land
in all the States | passed through, there
is large extent of rough, uneven and
broken country. AS the train ran day and
night, lost sight of great part of the
country. In this State there is beaut-
full deep, and fertile soil. The principal
part of the country is prairie. Part Of it
lays high and rolling, and part low aud
level; the remainder is composed of hill
ranges, covered with timber, and in places
there are rocks, but the soil is the very
best for all kinds of fruit, except peaches,
and probably they will do well if thor
Oughly pruned. The soil Is so rich the
winter finds the trees in a sappy state, and
the fruit buds are destroyed. The fruit
trees grow very rapid and upright-the
finest ever have seen; they look as if
they were vanished from top to bottom.

Although the tide Of emigration is set
ting into the central and western portions
of the State Of Kansas, where lands are
cheaper and everything new, yet the real
advantages III climate, seasonable rainfall,
fuel and water, are found IN the eastern
border counties. The Kansas City, Spring
field and Memphis Railroad passes south
through the three rich and populous
counties of johnson, Miami and Linn.
While johnson county has really more
good land than the others, it has less tim
Der and water and no coal. The Maras
des Cygnes river runs through Miami and
Linn, also numerous large creeks. The
lands on these streams are either broken,
hinty hills, or rich bottom lands; the rich
prairie lands are from one to three miles
back. The face OF the country is rolling,
and while some lands are adapted to grain
growing others are better for grazing.
The well water throughout these counties
is of excellent quality, and the country is
well watered generally. The great coal
fields are in the eastern part of Linn and
in Missouri adjoining. Coal underles all
this country. Fruit and vegetables can
be raised to perfection.
