Of the organized counties through which the Kansas Pacific Railway passes, seventy-five per cent, have abundant supplies of coal, ranging from a few inches to 200 feet below the surface, and varying in thickness from 6 to 36 inches. These statistics are obtained from the Agricultural Report for the State of Kansas for 1S75. Along the Kansas Pacific Railway coal is found in Pottawatomie, Wabaunsee, Davis, Ottawa, Lincoln, Ellsworth, Russell, Ellis and Trego counties.

In Ellsworth and Russell counties it crops out on the face of the bluffs of the Smoky Hill river and other streams, and is sold at the mines at $3.50 per ton, and is delivered in the towns of Wilson and Russell at $4.00 per ton. Within ko other Laxd Grant IN A SPARSELY TIMBERED REGION ARE SETTLERS SO SECURE on the fuel question.

The lands along the line of this road, both in Kansas and Colorado, offer the greatest facilities for stock-raising and grazing purposes.

The natural advantages here presented zc-r this branch of industry are the abundance of nutritious grasses with which the prairies and valleys are clothed the year round the bountiful supply of clear and wholesome water (so necessary in this pursuit) afforded by creeks and springs everywhere within reach, and, what is of incalculable value to the grazier, the temperate and agreeable climate, in which cattle are not, in summer, exposed to the injurious attacks of flies and other insects, so destructive, in more southern latitudes, to the prosperity of the owner. Nor have we the long winters and heavy snows of northern climes, where cattle have to be housed and fed for half the year Here they graze the entire winter on the prairies and along the streams, seldom requiring the use even of hay. Led by instinct to seek, and traveling hundreds of miles to obtain, the richest pasture and most abundant water, the antelope and buffalo had here their favorite feeding ground, until advancing civilization drove them Westward. Large stock-yards are established at Brookville, Ellsworth, Bunker Hill, Russell, Ellis and other points, where cattle can be 6old or shipped on commission. From seventy-five to one hundred per cent, per annum is a common estimate of profits on stock-raising in Central Kansas and Colorado.

The increase in this business, everywhere along the line, from the foot-hills of the Rocky Mountains to the Missouri river, has been very large. This has been greatly stimulated by the cheapness of Texas cows, that tan be bought "for from $6 to $10, and are crossed upon the domestic stock -with much advantage and large profits. Thus the man of limited means can, in a short time, have a nice herd of cattle, and its rapid increase makes him independent in a few years. That Kansas and Colorado must grow upon their cheap lands and luxuriant grasses the beef and -wool that is to feed and clothe the million, admits no longer of doubt. Here capital is every year investing largely in this safe and profitable business.

We have ready markets East and West, and Kansas City is the largest cattle market in the United States.

Twelve or fifteen tons of hay is sufficient to winter a thousand sheep, with the aid of a little corn, and this is not required generally until the first of March.

The increase, taking alow average, may be put at 80 per cent, of the ewes that is to say that for every 100 ewes in the flock 80 lambs may be raised. The wool, at the very lowest prices which have firevailed for a few years, will at least pay all expenses of keeping, eaving the increase clear profit. Fat Eheep brought in market, the last year, about 5J cts. per and those shipped from here aver-aged about 100 pounds per head. The cost per head of fattening and marketing these sheep would not exceed $1.10.

Disease is almost unknown here among sheep, and the climate is so mild that the loss from exposure is very small, not exceeding 1 per cent, in well kept flocks. Hay and grain can always be had at reasonable prices, and in any quantity desired, and the labor is as cheap here as in any of the States farther east. The above facts have been kindly furnished us by Messrs. Brooks Church and Messrs. Gilford Eaton, probably the most extensive cheep-raisers in the State.
