Letters Descriptive of Kansas Its CIl

CONCtUDED.
Tho coal fields of Northern Kansas are
thin, but id tho South-eastern part of tho
stato tho beds are not only numerous, but
many arc thick. Tho thickness of tho
beds is one foot and over, furnishing an
avcrugo of over twenty-five feet. There
is also good authority for asserting, that
thick beds of good, brown coal exist in
a largo area of Western Kansas. Tho
coal treasures of Southern Kansas extend
Westward, under tho Pesmian rocks, to
aa - unknown extent. Perhaps also
through tho entire central and Western
portions. The quality of a largo part of
the coal is good. Are thero any salt beds
in tho state ? soino one may ask. It has
been found that there is salt enough in
several Western and Southern counties
to supply the whole, Mississippi valley
for many years to come.
The common schools of the state are
already numerous; there arc also many of
the higher grades. A largo quantity of
tuo public luntt was reserved tor school
purposes. There are alse many churches
belonging to several christian denomina
tions. A number of railroads extend
many miles, in various directions, through
the state. There is yet much land in the
Western and Southern part of the state
that can be taken by homestead, or pre
emption. Nearly every town of consid
erable size has also one or more land
agents. Among these there is none whom
I more willingly recommend, to land buy
ers, for honesty and reliability than Mr.
Talbot, of Atchison. lie has a great
amount of improved and unimproved land
in the market; land lying in many differ
ent counties. Allow mo, in conclusion,
to state that I will cheerfully comply with
his request to give letters of introduction
to him, to any one in case they apply, who
will go to Atchison to purchase from him.
ANDREW K1STLEB.
Draining Warms tho Soil.
The following extract is from a prize
essay on under draining by Mr. J.
Miller:
" Experiments made in England showed
that land, that had been under-drained
had a temperature of 6 J degrees higher
than similar land that had not been under
drained. '
In this country the difference is much
greator in clear weather, from tho more
direct rays of the sun.
An experiment that I made on the
26th day of April last, on soil exactly tho
same, except a part that had been under
drained, showed a difference of 13 de
gree at a depth of four inches, and a lit
tle more at the surface. '
This experiment was made late in the
afternoon.
The thermometer had been up to 66
degrees in the shade, but was at 63 de
grees then.
That of tho drained land was the
tame, temperature that would germinate
Indian corn.
Subsequent experiments showed not
muoh difference, as the water gradually
dried no on the under-drained rur
Tho probability is that during a severe
arougnt, wnen sucii a sou becomes
thoroncrhlv dried and oracked. n if will
p 1 i
the temperature becomes the highest, and
l-i.-iri.-. i .. . ..
uiucu u9 uign ; so mucn so mat, it ex
tracts no moisture from the air during the
night.' '
This is not so with the drained lund
it always contains some moisture, and nn-
i i.ii . . . .
aouDiouiy extracts a great amount iron) i
the air on cloudy days and nights.
A trial in December, after a severe
freeze, showed a temperature of five de
grees to six degrees above freezing, at a
few inches below frott."
Fireproof Wash for Shingles.
A wash composed of lime, salt, und
fine 6and or wood ashes, put on in the or
dinary way of whitewashing, renders the
roof filty per cent, more secure against
taking fire from falling cinders, in case
of fire in the vicinity. , It pays the ex
pense a hundred fold in its preserving in
fluence against tho effects of tho weather.
The older and more weather-beaten the
shinglo, the more benefit derived. Such
shingles goucrully become more or less
warped, rough, and cracked; tho oppli.
cation of the wash, by wetting tho uppor
surface restores them at ouco to thoir
original or first form, thereby cloning ' up
the space between tho shingles, und tho
lime and sand by filling up tho - cracks
and pores in the shingle itself, prevents
its warping.

tif An eminent French physician iim.
cribes the decrease of dyspepsia and bil
lions disorders in Paris to tho greater
consumption of apples, which ho deems
an admiruble propliluctio and tonic, as
well as a very uutritious and easily di
gested articlo of food. It is estimated
that tho Parisians devour ono hundred
million of apples every winter.
