For Tlu Dloomfieltl Timet. Letters Dcscrlptire of Kansas Its Cli mate, Traductions, ice. Continued from last week.) I will next say a lil.llo nbnut tho water for household purposes. This urtiulo is ucarly everywhere cold, clear, uwl j;ood in taste. It can, in nearly every commu nity of Eastern and Middle Kansas, be obtained by digging from fifteen to i'nrty feet. There aro some springs there, but they nro not one-fifth as numerous as in the Keystone Stato. The timber is tol erably scarce, but had it not been for tho numerous fires, it would be much plen ties Whore these have ceased, a new growth of timber is springing up. Tak ing this in connection with tho fact that a great amount of it will be cultivated, we are safe i, saying that there will be an abundance of it in less than twenty five years. The following probably em braces the principal varieties of trees : Black-jack, white oak, red oak, burr oak, black oak, water oak, white or American elm, red or slippery elm, black walnut, white walnut, Cottonwood, box elder, blackberry, honey locust, willow, shell bark hickory, pignut hickory, pccliiiut hickory, sycamore, white ash, sugar ma ple, red mulberry, linden, crabapplo, wild cherry, aud coft'oe tree. These are the chief varieties of shrubs and vines, viz. : Klder, sumac, greenbrier, goose berry, hazel, pawpuw, prickly ash, rasp berry, blackberry, prairie rose, grape, two or thrco varieties. It is very well adapt ed for stock-raising, l'leuty of grass de cays every Fall and Winter to support many thousand more cattle, horses, mules, and sheep, every year in addition to the number already. These can be improved to a condition suitable for market at coinpaftlvely littlo expense. All these animals thrive well in that country. The native grains are excollent for the pur poses referred to. The staple crops are : corn,' wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, sorghum, hungarian grass, potatoes, and all varieties of garden vegetables grow with luxuriance, and commonly ripen largo crops. Hemp and flax also do pret ty well. Small crops of cotton have al so been raised. Winter wheat does well. As. much as upwards of thirty bushels to the acre have been produced. Tho im proved varieties of apples, pears', peaches, cherries, and grapes usually cultivated in the West do well. Tho small fruits, such as currants, gooseberries, and straw berries are also cultivated with admirable success. The climate is that of Southern and Central Missouri, of Kentucky aud Virginia. Tho winters are usually short and cold, especially those of Southern Kansas. 1 ThiB State is liable to great and sudden changos of heat and cold,: but this is true to a greater or less extent, of the whole interior or valloy of North America. This is probably due, in great part, to the winds. These, on account of tho great influence upon temperature by the largo and lolly mountain chains West of it are liable to great variations in short spaces of time. The entire absenco of mountains, and the fact that timber is tolerable scarce in many parts, account for tho averago force of tho wind being greater than that of most of tho States East of tho Mississippi. They aro also more constant; some may infer from this, that many people suffer greatly from dis eases of the respiratory organs, such as inflamation of tho lungs. But, although theso ailments prevail to some extent in Winter, they are not more prevalout than in other portions of the Mississippi Valley. The , prevailing winds in tho summer are from the South-west, South, and South-east. A continuous wiud for three days in succession is almost invari ably followed by Tain. For the Eastern half of the State, the amount of rain, except for the Whiter, is fully equal to that of Pennsylvania or New York. The North-west wind is a dry one, and tho at mosphere is usually essentially pure. It has been discovered that moisture, either in the soil or air, has a hidden influence in developing consumption. It has been known for a long time thut curtain locali ties, prominent among which are regions far North, and tho elevated regions of the Kooky Mountains are remarkably ex empt from that disease; therefore tho uutural iufureuco is, that a dry, cold at mosphere is a preventive of it. Kansas has a pure, dry atmosphere, and, is in this respect, more favorably circumstanced for preventing tho development of that dis ease than any portion of the " Great Vul ley," Eant of the 04th Meridian, and South of the 45th parallel of North latitude. It is, in short, a healthy State, and bears a favorable comparison in this respect to any of Midllo, States To eure a "felon," take half a gill of vinegar, disnolve in it a tcuspoonl'ul of Milurutiib hcut us long as the flesh cull bear souk tho felou as long as desirable, repeat the application as often as the pain return, uud a cure is certain, if ap plied in time. 1 0 1$ 3 i I TV H ELECT IMC SOAP, The Hcut in the World I STRICTLY PURE!
