Our Trip to Western Kansas.

At the earnest request of a young
minister, former student Of ours,
we held Bible Normal in Scott
county, Kansas, fourteen miles south
from Scott City, out on the level
prairie. It may be matter of some
interest to those who wonder how a
Bible Normal institute can be held
$50 west of Kansas City by rail in
country covered by buffalo grass, and
inhabited by coyotes, prairie dogs,
and jack rabbits, with now and then
cow boy dashing across the plain on
q brOnchO.
With sufficient quantity of rain this
western plain would be the garden
spot of America For healthfulness
Of climate it has not many SuperiorS.
The fertility of soil is admitted by
all who have seen it. During the
boom this country was the paradise of
land sharks, who entrapped the I'M
wary homeseeker on the one hand and
cheated the capitalist on the other.
He induced the hOmesteader to
"proye up" his claim and then put a
mortgage upon it at an enormous fig
Gre, getting his pay from both the
homeSteader and the mortgage COM
pany, and when the land was all
mOrtgaged his bank became insolyent
and the loan agent went to other
quarters. A ride across the country
will satisfy you that the Indians and
the land agents both have left this
country and your scalp is safe so far
AS they are concerned. The fortunate
hunters also have left and only the
steady, hardy, intelligent, class re-
mains, those who are determined to
brave the hardships incident to a
frontier life and who have decided to
carve for themselves a home at all
hazards.
The country is thinly settled, each
farmer having the use of one or more
sections of land besides his homestead
pasturage for his cattle which live
well during the winter as well as in
the summer on the well cured buffalo
grass. The expense of raising cattle
here is reduced to minimum.
The first item that interested US
was the pump and reservoir found at
nearly every farm house. With a
small irrigating plant a farmer can
raise all the potatoes and vegetables
his family can consume, and insure an
abundance for subsistence. The irri-
eating scheme is destined to revClu-
tionize this country and we shall not
be surprised, if, instead of sending
provisions to the western sufferers,
they in turn send vast stores of proyi-
sion in the future to eastern cities.
One farmer who has five thousand
bushels of grain in his granary, re-
marked to me, that, if the people had
adapted themselves to the country
when they first come here, instead of
trying to ingraft their eastern meth
DDS on this western territory, they
would all have Jared better Expert
ence is sometimes a harsh school mas
ter, but her pupils never forget the
lesson taught, and here in the west
the people make good use of them
