Former Merchant and Farmer at Burat
' Cabin, But bow a Resident ot
1 1. Kansas.
WENT TO THAT STATE LAST SUMMER,
(Continued from Brut tmjM.)
wide, running the wheat heads
into a header box driven along
side of the header. When full,
another header box . is pulled in
and the full o.ie is driven to a
stack. We can , plough 5 acres,
harrow 25 to . 80 acres, and drill
15 to 20 acres per day, and ride to
do it all. The only bard work
about farming is in harvesting
and threshing.
You never see a stone here un
less it has been hauled. This re
minds me of ex commissioner L.
K. Cline, when here last summer,
seeing a Jack Rabbit sitting near,
he commenced hunting for a
stone to throw at it This also,
reminds me to say, we have the
best roads 1 ever saw. They are
as bvel and as solid , as a floor.
The climate here has been delight
ful since we came, with the ex
ception of two or three stormy
days. We are 38 degrees north
latitude, while Knobsville is about
40 degrees, making us about 100
I miles south of you, which, I think,
has e great deal to do with our
fine climate, although they tell
me it gets pretty cold here some
times, butonly lasts a short time.
The wages for labor is fair
good farm hands command $30
a month, carpenters $2.50 a day,
and other mechanics in propor-
ti n.
Now, a few words as to our
selves. We arrived hereabout
the middle of July. I went west
into Scott county and purchased
a team (4 horses), came back, com
menced turning part of Kansas
upside down. Although I was
two woeks behind my neighbors,
and had three miles to go to work
each day, I managed to plough
and seed 143 acres in wheat.
About the first of October we
commenced building a house.
barn, and other buildings, which
we just completed last week, bav
ing had from four to ten men em
ployed on them for more than
three months. Of course, this
gave us all plenty to do, and you
may know we have not spent
much idle time. We are now oc
cupying our new house, which,
we think, is one of the cosiest in
the country. It is situated one
mile west of Ransom, upon . a
quarter of land I purchased since
coming here, I now have three
quarters (480 acres) of land. We
would be pleased to have any of
our Fulton county friends pay us
a visit at any time they can make
it convenient. Mrs. Kelly and I
both like the country very much;
but, of course) have regrets in
leaving so many warm friends be
hind. We think we have better
ed our condition in life by doing
so. I had almost forgotten to
mention the water question. I
drilled a well and struck sheet
water at a depth of 64 feet, which
we pump with a wind pump, and
which is inexhaustible. In many
parts of the west, the finding of
good water is quite a question;
but this section, is well favored
with excellent, pure water, free
from alkali or other mineral sub
stance.
With best wishes for the happi
ness and prosperity of the peo
ple in Fulton, and our friends and
neighbors in and ne,-r Burnt Cab
ins, I will close this rather leng
thy communication.
What has oecome of our Burnt
Cabins correspondent ?
