He invited several of his friends to step in and see his new quarters before taking possession "Quick sales and small profits and fair dealing," is the motto at Wats ill's, which Suite he Jeit twenty-tnreo years ago; and yet, at that time, there were thousands of head ot cattle and hogs grazing on tho "laud common;" for Old Money Bags and those who stood still to Tow rich oil other men labor had not sprung the question of abstract ri-rhts touching the grazing of stock on the land "lying common." He is greatly troubled about the Mis- souri cattle monarchs coming into the State wuh their large herds and turning them loose upon the crops of the poor statute cursed slaves of Kansas, as the law now is, but forgets that should we have a general herd law these same men would lease all the grass lands contigious to water, and if this poor statute slave got any grass on which to graze his few head of cattle, he would lo eomKiled to sul-let it from these great cattle monarchs, for he would not be able to lease a whole quarter on which to graze his few head i of cattle, and so the wealthy cattle dealer would crush the poor statute slave with his power derived through his money. He would not compete with the rich man, and the sequel would be, that the few rich men would get the cattle of the poor at a nomiuai uc. AYebcjr leave to surest, too, that "Arkansas runts" that are not worth the ground they shade, arc not the kind we generally find at large. But a little more on the character of our stock, and the reason we have whr we have. The advice, freely given without stent and without measure, and given because it costs nothing, and makes it appear as though the of such advice had solved the whole problem is, get the best of cattle grades from pure bloods.

Now, the cost of pure bloods, or grades, is such that but few can obtain them. The demand is far in excess of the supply, and if soma of these men, who are so liberal with their advice, will tell the stock raisers of the country how to force the blooded cattle in the world to produce the powers of nature, and still keep up 'the vitality of the various races so as to furnish all catrle raisers with enough of first-class stojk, their advice would bear the stamp of honesty. With all the care and energy exer cised by persons owning bloodel stock, they have not been able to supply the demand as, is instanced by the fabulous price paid for blooded stock at all the recent cattle sales. And when we compare the gros3 receipts for cattle cf all kinds ninety-nine hundredths of which are what your correspondent derisively terms "Arkansas runts" we can very easily see where millions of dollars come from which we would fjiltoget did we lo the howl about procuring the best of The best of everything is the lest for we know, when that best is procurable but when not even one-twentieth can be supplied with blooded stock, wt-look uiou the howl against all cattle that are not of-a royal blood, as senseless. Much the greater number cf millions of dollars derived from cattle, come from those entirely innocent of royal descent and shall the thousands of men engaged in stock raising, and which they find profitable, lorego the pleasure of these profits simply because the few who own the royal herds, or their retainers, are down on all cuttle whose blood has coursed through Arkansas scrubs ever since the flood.

As we cannot each have a herd of grades we must per force he content with what wo can get, and make that ready for market with the least expense, and that is one of the problems that we must solve now. There -arc many things connected w'ith this question that we cannot touch in such an article without making it entirely too long, "so we will stop just where we are. II. A. From Mattoon to Ottawa.

Barbour, Sec'y. Frankliu County, Jan. '70. Anti-Herd Law. Lane, Jan'y 10, 1S7G.

Editor Triumph About the chief count in the indictment of tho herd law men against the anti-herd law theory, is the great cost of fence and this cost is based on the report of tho Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. 1 have before me a table of the amounts of the various kinds of fence in Kansas given by counties. If we can place no more confidence in the reports from other counties, than we cau from this, and If the report from one county is so glaringly false, we are justified in believing that the reports ft am other counties are falsa also, we are being deceived by men whose business it is to give us truths regarding the affairs of the State, who are paid by the State and who should be above suspicion. But to the report from Franklin county. The amounts I give in rods, and I ask the reader to examine them carefully and not lay aside the paper and exclaim I did not thinl; there is so much! Stone, 1,690,350 rods; rail, 350,020 rods; boards, 71,541 rods hedge, 250,005 rods.

The aggregate number of rods is 2,875,416. Divide this by 320 the number of rods in a mile and we have 7,423 miles of the four kinds of fence, to say nothing of wire fence, reported from this county. Now multiply the length of the county by the breadth and we find 578 sections. Divide again and you will find throwing out all fractions that there is 13 miles of fence reported for each section in the county. This amount will fence tho entire county into 23 acre fields, with a road running around each section.

Now, Mr. Editor, on such stuff as this is based part of the opposition to the anti-herd law theory. On such statistics as these docs Alfred Gray make Lis estimate of tho cost of our fences! His great adaptability for working up tremendous columns of figures is shown in this and his lack of ability to uncover such glaring errors or falsehoods, or whatever else you may call it, is too apparent to satisfy any one who wants the truth in regard to the various things appertaining to agriculture, that the report which will be submitted to the ap proaching Legislature will be anything lss than tissue of falsehoods, publish ed in the interests of hon-rcsident speculators in real estate, and others of like ilk. And here let me ask pa-rentheically, if it is not about time this bureau of frauds be abolished, or that it bo so re-organized that what is published by it will bear the impress of truth. This may appear pretty strong, but when these reports are to be used to effect legislation, we want the truth, and if such cannot be given, then abolish the channels through which such reports find their way to the light.

But turn to another feature of the question One of your correspondents thinks he has been in every nook and corner of Franklin county and has not seen a quarter section that would make a desirable homestead, but what water can be procured on it. Now, this may or may not be. Such is his judgment, from which we leg leave to respectfully dissent but then he has missed the real issue, Kansas is yet in the transition state. We are not satisfied after a twenty years" residence in the State that it is adapted to agriculture. The raia supply is frequently much too little.

The insects we "can fight by early planting and thorough cultivation, but we cannot grow crops without the early and the latter rains, and these have too "often failed us to trust our all to agriculture. The past season is no index to the character of the reasons ordinarily. The wealth of the State is in its grasses, and the more of the native grasses we can keep undisturbed by the plowshare the better. Many farmers now regret having broken as much of their grass land as they have, and now must make an effort to raise tame grasses, which so far has proved a failure in a profitable sense. The same correspondent asks: "How do they do in older States where there is no land lying common?" He certainly overshoots his mark.

We should here ask how they did in the older States when they were no older than Kansas is now, and before the pcople allowed themselve? to be gulled by the specious (loadings as those who thief "taken in."
