. THIS IS WHY!
.... ,. The following article taken from the
Schuyler liegiitcr, o nearly describes
' the condition of most of the townn that
we reproduce it for the leneSt of our
readers : '
"It ia a noticeable fact that in new
countries like thi, nearly every man one
meets b poor and cenis to Died money ;
is trying to borrow it ; is willing td pay
tk high rate of intereat for its use
while money is plenty, so to speak, in
Eastern States, and is freely offered at a
. low rate is often tho subject of conver
; sation.
The question was asked us only a few
' - days z "Why is this?" . While we
aro no financier, and pretend to know
but little of Money Markets, we believe
that it may be accounted for in a hun"
dre J different ways. That is : Money
tends to the East, and net West; for
these reasons: tb.9 great manufactur
ing interests, coal and iron mines, gro
cery and dry goods houses are in the
East
; .You go t your grocer and buy a pack-
age of soap, and it is marked New
' York ; you buy a knife, or a hat, a yard
of muslin, a pound of coffee, sugar, tea,
&!., Ac, through the long list that goes
to mako up the every day wants of life,
- , and you will find ' that it is either manu
factured in the Eastern States, or come
'from the Old World, and passing through
those States gave them profits, that
must eome frem the pockets of the oon-
, - . tester.' ' Upon our table lie a pair of
scissors, a rule, a diary, and a bottle of
Ink. The scissors are merked Cobb.,
the rule and diary New York, and the
' ink," London. Thus it it is with every
- thing. ;Our agricultural implfments

, Those we should manufacture at home,
as should we also cur woolen goads, our

money at home, and furaish' a ready

IV. II. n. WATFR3 M
We publish ehewhere in our column
an article from the Brownville Advertiser,
urging'tneT appointmeatf CoL .R. W
Furnas as Commissioner of Agriculture
We believe no better person could be se
lected , to fill , this important' posi
tion,' and Mncerely hope our Senators
and Representatives will look after this
matter, and, if possible, secure the ap
pointment of Col. Furnaa.
The, present incumbent seems poor!
fitted for the position, and there was ai
unanimous request, on the part of the
Agricultural Convention, that he be re
moved!,', ' '
The Prairie Farmer, speaking of tie
present Colnmiesioncr, says:
"While thtre was manifest a willingness
to ask for help for the Department from
Congress, there appeared to be but one
feelinjr. and that one of disappointment
in the gentleman occupying the otfice of
Commissioner, the lion. Frederick
Watts, lie seems to be restricted to
Pennsylvania in all his ideas of pro
gress in agriculture, and hence to poorly
comprehend the magnitude of the work
which such a department is calculated to
accomplish, and should accomplish.
His coune, ia the organization and
progress of the convention, in first ig
noring a large element in the attendance
and then "washing his hands" of the
action of the other element, seemed to
leave him very much out ia the cold." -Let
the position be given where it
properly belongs, to the West, and a live
western man appointed, and the Depart
ment of Agriculture will be something
more than an. ornamental institution.
Weeping Water, March 9.
Ed. Herald .What a jwlly soal i
must have beea wlo wrote :
"Ho for the stormy cold March days.
Ah! there is nothing like them;
Loud peans shout, and sing their praise,
Joy is so wild and free."
However, I am of the opinion that if
he had been here for the last two days
he would have changed his tune to long
metre. But we are thankful for the
warm days we have had already. They
have told us that our prospects for a good
crop of winter wheat is better than we
expected; that so far it is all right Oth
ers aro not) so fertunate. The early sown
wheat seems to look well, but nearly ev
ry one has given up that which was sown
during the month of October. Howev
er, the case is not fully maue up and wil
not bo until the spring wheat commences
to cone up; until then we should be
happy 1 It is more instructive than amus
ing, to notice how easily some give up ;
and on the contrary, how hopeful some
are. Some people seem never to have
any confidence in the future ; and singu
lar as the case may be, the future. never
leaves them in any great want. Surely
"the Lord sendeth the rain vpon the
just and the unjust." ." ; .'
In yocr last issue you made me say
that "Mr. Potter intends visitiag here,"
whilo I intended to say "Mr. P. intends
locating here." He will also start a
Jeweler's shop here early in the spring,
we are informed. .1
In the fcame issue you also failed to
quote the most interesting portion of the
preposition submitted by the commis
sioners of Otoe County; that pertaining
to the Nebraska City and Jforth western
Railroad. This road, more than anv
other, will benefit Cass County, running
as it will, nearly forty miles in the coun
ty, and that too, through the central por
tion. This road will benefit at least
three fourths of our citizens. It will cot
only give us a home market for our pro
duce, but will give us a competition in
freights, that will give us the very best
price going. .- :
We d not know how much Nebraska
City means by this move, but we hope
she means business. In one thing, at
Jeatt, ehe is to be commanded for her
wisdom; i. e. in presenting an "iron clad'
proposition to the citizens, so they aro
in no danger of losing their bonds unless
the roads are completed. If Otoe car
ries the bonds, wo are informed that Cass
will be called on to aid, either by county
or precinct bonds. We anxiously await
the developments cf the future.
EuelUh Tlewsof Nebraska.
We clip the following communication
from the Guernsey Star relating to
Nebraska and Nebraska lands. Thou
sands of English emigrant? are arriving
yearly: and we are glad to know that our
own State ia having a fair proportion of
them.
My first trip to Guernsey was com
menced under rather disadvantageous
circumstances, crossing the Channel in
the steamer Havre, performing the trip
in about 17 hours. It was the first time
l ever experienced the sensation of sea
sickness, notwithstanding my experience
many times across the Atlantic Ocean,
and to one, coming from the Far West,
and distant State of Nebraska, without
Buffering from that malady, the fact was
rather astonishing. Guernsey being onoo
reached, there was ample to repay any
slight tumbling and tossing during the
voyage, it being a right tigUt little ioland
in which any person could ; ass a pleasant
few months, and as a permanent resi
dence must be one cf the most enjoyable
that I have met with, which is saying a
great deal, considering that last year 1
vieited nearly all the towns in England,
Scotland, and Wales, and a considerable
number, in Ireland. .The seenery in
Guernsey is impressive and highly pic
turesque, but it is unnecessary tor me to
refer to the many objects of interest to a
traveller, as they are so well known to
yourselves, and those with the hospitali
ties I received will not be forgotten in
my descriptive letters to the ; press. , in
Nebraska. . ;.,.
Nebraska is the last and 37th State ad
mitted into the American Union; it is
situated in the exact geographical centre
of that country. The rise and progress
of. its citiep, the development of its rail
road?, and the increase of its population
in the same space of time, exceed any
thing in the previous history of the
United States of America.
This State has a population bordering
upon 00,000, who has selected Nebraska
as a home within the last 25 years, and
most of them since it was admitted from
a territory. . . ' -
Omaha is about the eldest dry in the
State; it numbers cow about 25,000 in
habitants. . ., .
Lincoln, the'capital, situated in South
ern Nebraska, has a population of 5,-
CVO . ;
The great iucceoS of this pew State is
owing to the fine healthy invigorating
climate, its rich alluvial prairia land3,
waving over a country rolling away in
?entle undulations, covered with a carpet
of almost rerenial green, so refreshing to
lheey9. This oac hunting ground of
the Indian, and pasture of the wild buf
falorwill one day hare to yield to the
spade and the plough and give place to
the waving wheat fields and majestio
maftc, to help to fill the millions of crav
ing mouths; but this consummation so
dovoutedly to be wished for, would still
have been glimmering in the prospective
future, aud its resources and ndvantages
would not have been known had it not
been for it3 railway interests. . The Burl
ington and Missouri River Railway Com
pany, one of the the richest corporations
in the United States, having opened op
the States of Illinois and Iowa next turned
their attentioa to their further ; progress
westward to . the development of the
southern portion of the State of Nebras
ka, so as to fyrm a direct communication,
and important link, in the Great Pacific
Railroad, across to the Pacific.
The idea of a railroad being once con
ceived, with that true American energy,
the company applied to Congress for
powers to pass through this most fertile
and almost uninhabited State.. Having
obtained, a concession of land as a gift
froia the United States Governmeat com
prising 2,000,000 acres laid out in squares
of one mile each, alternating - with the
same quantity of land, also in squares, to
be given away by the United States Gov
ernment, to actual settlers as homesteads
of 80 acres each. The rai'rord being
completed, the next question was how to
populate this vast extent of territory
which had been given it. Agents were
sent to Europe to establish agencies in ev
ery large town for the purpose of issuing
through tickets at the lowest rates of
tare, ihese positions were granted to
men of standing and responsibility, who
can vouch for tha correctness of the
statements made concerning Nebraska.
Large numbers of English people have
been pouring into the State, and taking
advantage of the SO acres of land granted
free in the government sections, and in
creasing their holdings by purchasing in
the adjoining lands, hsld by the Burl
ington and Missouri River Railway Com
pany. Its last year's sale realized an
rnormous sum (over half a million
pounds sterling), Although ten years
oredit is given, the prices asked are very
low. varying from 12s. to 3 per acre.
In this period of time ad industrious man
may pfty for his land out of its produce.
Emigrants homes have been establish
ed at different points, where new comers
may lodge free while making their se
lections. ..
You will naturally ask, where is Ne
braska, and what was my object in vis
iting you at this unseasonable time of
the yoar, when the aspect cf your island
is at its worst? Simply because such im
portant places as Guernsey, . the other
Channel Islands, Normandy, and . Brit
tany, could not be overlooked by the
Burlington and Missouri River Railway
Company, and Mr. E. T. LoJHeasurier.
of Guernsey, has been appointed to aet
as district agent, and all information will
be supplied "by him" gratuitously. Ike
plan adopted by the company is to make
up parties or colonies to be sent out in
charge of a competent guide, who will
conduct them from Liverpool to the port
of debarkation, and when they number
over one hundred bouU they are for
warded by special express trains through
to their future homes in Nebraska in 60
hour?.. Oa arriving at Lincoln, the trav
ellers are placed under the protection of
G. S! Harris, Esq., the very courteous,
Land Commissioner of the Railway Com
pany. The interetf of the Railroad Com
pany does not end like the Shipping and
ordinary Railroad Companies when the
emigrant arrives at the end of his journey.
On the contrary it only commences as
the success of the individual in the de
velopment of the resources cf the land
adds to the wealth of the company by
increasing its local trafi- and aiding to
the value of unsold adjoining lands. It
will therefore be seen that any 'false
representations on the part of the Com
pany would be to their disadvantage.
The fact biog that the interest of the
company and that of the settler are iden
tictiL The State being an open prairie
country, no clearing of timber is required
and a crop of eorn may be raised during
the firtft year of settlement. The soil is
inexhaustable, the subsoil being light
loom and marie, and there are no swamps
or ague spots to bft found, though it is
beautifully watered by noblo rivers, and
clear running streams There is an abun
dance of ooal, peat, iron, and building
etcne. TbsreUno doubt the Channel
Islands are over populated, and that
people may live in peace and poverty at
home, but by removing to such a State
as Nebraska, health, wealth, and pros
perity, might easily be obtained by ordi
nary industry, perseverance, and deter
mination. The rapid development of a
new country is ab'essing to those who
accept its invitations, and an advantage
to those who rercaiu at home, so that
whoever fairly, honestly, and truly rep
resents the advantages, climate, and soil
of a State so eligible oa the 6Core of
health, and natural wealth is conferring
a boon upon those ho may visit. -'
Short letters will hereafter follow on
matters of interest in relation to Iowa,
Nebraska, and Colorado, with your per
mission, will be Isent for publication.

London, Feb. 1, 1872.
: As the farming community are in our
county organizing societies of the order
of Patrons of Husbandry, we clip the
following correspondence from the Grand
Island Independent, on the subject,
which, we doubt not, will be of interest
to many of our readers : :
t Alma City, Harlan Co., Nkb.
Eds.. . Independent : An Agricul
tural Association is spoken of by the
people of Hall county, and I wish, in
connection with this subject, through the
columns of your journal,' to call their at
tention to the fact, aad the importance
of the fact, that there is in existence an
order known as "The Patrons of Hus
bandry." This order is now only about
three years old, and has already become
a power in our country. It is spreading
rapidly through the agricultural district?,
and has now State organizations in Wis
consin, Iowa, Minnesota, California, Illi
nois, Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi,
South: Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Kansas, Ohio, Massachusetts, Vermont,
New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and
Kentucky. It contemplates the organi
zation of agriculturalists, - horticultural
ists, and all interested in the prosperity
of the husbandman, in each rural dis
trict, into "Granges" or Lodges, whose
representatives shall constitute the State
Granges and the representatives of the
State Granges constitute the National
Grange. The headquarters of the Na
tional Grange is, for the present, at
Washington City. The. location of the
headquarters of the State Grange, for
this State, will, in all probability, be at
Grand Island or Columbus. ' . r
. The . objects of the order is not only
improvement, . ia husbandry, but to,
increase the general happiness, wealth
and prosperity of the country, as well as
to elevate tha husbandman to his proper
position in . society. Agriculture ia the
basis cf all our varied interests : alt oth
er associations draw their sustenance'
from it, as it is improved and enlarged a
corresponding prosperity follows ; with- I
out it our country wodd be a barren
wate. The necessity for organisation is
apparent. The producer receives but a ;
small portion of the amount paid by the
consumer, the balance falls into the
hands of those wha subsist by buying, j
selling, transporting, subdividing, &c.
To protect themselves against these mo
nopolies and abuses, producers are or
ganizing into "granges ' to diminish the
cost of exchanging their several pro
ducts, that they themselves my receivo
the reward of their own labor. All
other classes or interests have their se
scrct orders for mutual, protection. The
husbandman has had none ; they now
proposo to place' themselves where they
properly belong, by accomplishing a sys
tematic organization throughout-the
United State?. .
"Among the advantages which may
be derived from the order are eystematio
arrangements for procuring and dissemi
nating, iu thatnpst expeditious minner,
information relative to crops, : demand
and supply prices, markets, and trans
portation throughout the country ; also
for the purchase and exchange of stock,
seeds, and desired varieties of plants
and trees, and for the purpose of pro
curing help at home or from abroad,
and situations for persons seeking em
ployment ; also for ascertaining and
testing tho merits of newly-invented
farming implements and those not in
general use, and for detecting and ex
posing those that are unworthy, and for
protecting,- by all available means, the
farming interests from fraud and decep
tive combinations of every kind."
It is also a social organization secur
ing intimate, social relations; extending
acquaintances ; advocating education by
cultivating and enlarging the mind ;
beautfying homes and farms, and giving
to agriculture the attractions nature de
signed for her. Women are admitted to
full membership, and their co-eperation
is solicited, ; because with her aid, suc
cess is more certain, and in her society
no , lessons will be learned but those of
purity and truth ; her interests are also
thoroughly interwoven in the ebjeets of
the organisation. ? r " '
To refer again to the advantages of
the association, in effecting exchanges,
or in the purchase or Bale of articles
through the organization, I will here
state, that one county -in Illinois, last
season saved fffteen thousand dollars in
tho price of farm tools alone. Plows,
that before cost from twenty-two to
twenty-eight dollars are purchased by
tho association at from fifteen to nine
teen dollars. Other artiolea in the same
preportion. So with trees and plants
from the Nurseries. Produce ' will like
wise reach the markets at lower rates ;
the producer can save to himself the im
mense sums the consumer pays over to
the middle man, who makes more clear
Erofit on the products he scarcely ever
andles, than the farmer who produced
it. - -.-
I will not extend thia artio'o further
only to say, that all political or religious
discussions aro entirely ignored by the
association, and that the more extended
the order becomes the more useful it will
be to all the members, and I would hope
that the people of Hall county will take
a lively interest in an organization of so
niuoh importance to them. .' The first
Grange in this State was of ganized a few
days ago in Harlan county, and it is very
desirable to have enough termed to eetab
luh a State Grange at aa early day.
Any further information upon the sub
ject can bo ottaiaed by addressing O. H.
Kelly, Secretary of the National Grange,
Washington, D. C, or J. II. Painter,
Alma City, Harlan county, Nebraska.
