Correspondence ol the N'cw York Tribune ,
Twenty.two years ago , my own first
glimpse of Knnsai City showed mo a
steamboat landing , with three or four
wnrcliouscH , n tavern , nnd n deep cut
through a yellow hill to yet nway from
tho. place by. . On Uio bluU'ixbov.o
there wore several "groceries ; " the
merchantable "stock thorcin consisting
of sundry barrels of what waa then
known us "jug water1 nnd some linetc
tious piles of thick bacon. Some of
those , to say truth , nro there yet ; the
saino , or worse. ' '
This was all by and for what was
called the tinntn Fo' trade. It was
oven before California came forward
prominently , or the sublime senti-
inetitof "Piko's Peak hr Ihtsl" liad
been enunciated. All Kansas was al *
most as uninhabited as Llatib , Estam
cado'is no\v , nnd the buffaloes' came
and drank out of the Missouri. From
among the cottonwoods that fringed
the mouth of the Kaw arose
innumerable columns ot thin
blue smoke. llcsidp the
yellow roads nnd dotting the
lulls wore the lozenge-shaped villages
formed by wagons drawn into hollow
squares. All day the sharp dotona01
tions of the bull-whips foil upon the
car , as constant as picket-tiring ,
Gaunt , high-shouldered , long-honied
bullocks wandered everywhere , somein
times worn out and stupid , often sulal
len and combative. The usual' ono
long street of the village which formed
the depot of a great tr.ido was lined
and crowded .with gigantic wagons nnd
long.teamsiroinend to end. .t'liore
were ? few women in these days , and
the male passenger was obliged to
pick his devious way among horns ,
noses , yokes , hubs nnd biy chains ,
No such wagons as those ere ever
used before , or will bo made ngafn.
Jt was nine or ten feet from the lloor
of the box to the top of the canvas.
About sixty hundred weight \\oio
considered n fair load for a team of
twelve oxen , for a journey of 1500
miles over plains , sands , stones , ra
vines , rivers everything.
THE I'ASr nEKKKATIOX.
Humanity took strange forms in
those . Tlio "bull-whacker "
days. - , ns
everybody called him nnd ho called
himself , was n > it like the minor ,
ranchman or frontiersman of these
times. Ho was himself a bull-
wluickcr. Ho could bring out the
capacities of string of oxen as no
other man who over lived could. Ho
acquired skill , like unto that of a
Japanese juggler in the use of the
monstrous whip that trailed behind
him in the grass some fourteen feet ,
and could bo heard sinking through
the air and going off in a series of
sharp explosions in the fraction of a
second thereafter. There was to him
no joy in life lying under a wagon
with his chin upon his crossed arms.
He was the original great unwashed ,
as a matter of fact nnd habit , and to
know him was to understand how
greatly ordinary life is burdened by
useless ceremonies and super
fluities. Tlio plains between
the Missouri and the New
Mexican mountnins - a very loiifjrcach
of country were very much livelier
then than they nro to-day. What has
relapsed into primeval desolation now ,
twinkled with camp-fires twenty years
ago , and there wcio echoes of barbaric
song and merriment whore now per
haps domestic cattle range , but where
for yeais no man has slept or sung.
There woie "nrllions in it , " too. A
loaded train represented ono or two
thousand dollars. There was a great
deal of it also. An attenuated string
of white specks that in the intense
sunshine trailed itself over hill and
dale along the verge of the horizon
was seldom out of sight. One would
scarce think it could occur to these
creeping caravans to run races with
each other , but they sometimes gro
tesquely did so , and staked considera
ble sums of money upon the result.
Like sailors , these freighters were
reticent people , and Now Mexico , the
queerest country that was ever under
the American flag , remained a terra
Incognita , The old ones in those
Missouri towns never found out any
thing nbout it. It was , until eight or
ten years ago , as far oft'as China. The
bull-whacking voyager seems seldom
to have deserted and stayed there ,
and only rarely could a "greaser" bo
found stranded among the Missouri
cottonwoods. Traflio and intercourse
came nnd went thus from time imme
morial to nbout 1802. Then two or
three impecunious individiuls in n
Kansas village , and one especially 1
dreamed the idea of a ruihoad upon
the Santa Fo trail. It was an idea
that ought then to h vo sent the
author of it to u lunatic asylum , if
there had been any , and ought now
to perpetu to him in bronze. i
I know him. Ho had a
pleasant and insinuating manner ,
and as far back ns 1800 the awful
year that none of the few who were
hero then will ever forgot-ho used
sometimes to speak of the schemes he
had , As ho blandly expatiated , no
body believed in it , and ns I pass him
in tlio street now I say to myself , "I
wonder if he believed in it ? " Yet I
know he hammered the idea until it
finally took shape. It is an immense
aft'air , very little like a dream now
the furthest-reaching line of ties and
rails so far over laid by a single cor
poration. For the first time -ve have
got our hands upon the real treasures
of the empire of the Incas , the vast
region of mountains and loneliness , of
coal , gold , copper and silver , of trop
ical luxuriance and Arctic barrenness ,
whoso Spanish inhabitants lived very
much as they are living now before
this republic was.born.
THE THAII , COSQUEhKI ) J1V TUB TJIACK.
I have been carried by that inter
esting animal , an army mule , from
the Missouri to Santa Fo , and some
hundreds of miles bpycnd , myself. It
will never occur again , but when 1 yo
now , the remarkable thing about it is
the contrast it presents to the old
times. And those ancient days have
not gene entirely nnregreted. Not
long since 1 occupied a seat beside
the driver upon one of those hibcous
canvas covered machines , called by
the propriotois of it a "coach. " As
wo Bolted over Now-Miixican stones ,
which have a peculiar quality of jug-
gedncss , nnd cicpt in nnd out among
the mountain spurs , lie detailed to
me his opinions nnd wrongs. "I'm
ageing to Australia , " said ho ,
"where 1 understand they still have
singe-lines. I used to dnvu on the
plains , and them railroads come nnd
dnv [ { , mo out o' tlm * , . An' then 1
comes hero , thinkin' they never could
RiA us out'n these ctarnal mountains.
And now comes this last , this 'ere To-
pcco , and Santy Fee doin's , a follcrin'
u1 up , nn' in Icjs'n n year they won't
bo n atanonmnin' in this ken try. I'm
n > goin' . This moon-faced old fogy
said ho had never ridden on the rail ,
never intended to , that they wcro the
, curse of the country , ti hindrance to
'
t'rnllic , and enemies to honest indus
try. If ono.of the ox freight proprie
tors of the old times could bo encoun
tered , I wonder what ho would say
about the AtchisonTopi'kn nnd Santa
Fo railroad , upoii which the last
named is only a midway atotion.
Vet it is more a voyage than n
journey. The Pullman car becomes
n residence for several days. There
a hundred fellow-voyagers who carry
with them their lunch baskets nnd
their peculiarities wherever they may
m . There are small matters of slum
ber and food to bo looked after , nnd
profound calculations as to how many
times ono iiay ) reach downward into
ono's pocket , and at the current rate
of disbursements iind anything there
to reach after. There is a long , long
stretch of 'treeless prairio. It is a
long , warm , tiresomei journey to Santa
Fe , oven yet ; but it is nn interesting
ono. Many of these passengers do
not intend to return , and have1 aban
doned all that lies behind thorn. They
are a good natured company , illustrat
ing all tlio attitudes of sleepiness , and
all the expedients for killing timO.
They are tired , but I muse upon the ,
time when it required of mo two
months to make the same journey
over neaily the same track. The
wilderness , all that vast and
treeless valley of the Arkan
sas , is unrolled like a panoramic
ramic picture. Tli3 scenes of thirsty
marches and silent vigils jrlido by un
noticed , and yet , except immediately
beside < the track , the country teems
unchanged , and the peculiar land
scape is as it has been since dry land
appeared. The prairie dog , being no
more like a dog than n musk rat is ,
still sits upon his lonesome yellow
mound among his few companions ,
and squeaks at the train with all his
old-timo peevishness. Tlio coyote is
still theie , red of tongue and leery of
oyc , stoically regarding the rushing
messenger that has cut tlio field of bis
sly exploits in twaiiij and prophecies
his speedy extermination. Iut } there
nro town and fnrms , and there is
nothing that would astonish the old
Santa Fo trader as theso. They and
their p'coplo nro of the western pat
tern , neat , new , founded upon adobe ,
but likely to stay. Even that whifth
used to be the first glimpse of Mexi
can life , u miserable adobe hamlet in
the Arkansas sands called Pueblo , is
now , with all its torrid heats and fly
ing sands , completely changed and
become u bustling , restless American
town. It is clear that the demoli
tion and reconstruction have begun.
This furthest northern settlement of
the Spaniard indicates the speedy fate
of most of his old dominion. When
at last the City of the Holy Faith is
reached , ono sees it again with a sur
prise not unmingled with regret. It
was old , even ten years ago the most
ancient and sleepy burgh in America ,
quaint and primitive in all its ways ,
redolent with tradition nnd gray with
its centuries of chnntrelossness and
peace. And now adios ! "Thoy are
building red brick stores on theplazi ,
and noisily clustoiing upon the steps
of new hotels , and looking sharp and
talking fast. They will live more in
Santo Fo in ono day now than they
have over befoip in one eood year with
all its siestas. 'Some of the silent and
swarthy ones look as though ancient
society is aghast , a id the padre cure
with all his startled flock behind him ,
holds up supplicating hands
THE IMMUTABLE "OUEASEU. "
But it is an interesting old town
for a day. It is so far inland , and in
closed in mountains so bare and
brown , and over it hangs a sky so blue
and fair forever. It has been for ages
a capital without ever being proud of
it , and almost without knowing it ,
and has kept the oven tenor of its
sleepy life so very long. I once knew
very "well the Now Mexican's mode of
thought and what his general notions
of Gringo imprudence wore. But
that was upon ordinary themes , and
topics to which ho was accustomed.
The railroad is considerably beyond
any of his miracles. I do not know
what he thinks of it. His answer to
tlio question is very non-committal ,
being a slight elevation of the slioul- *
dors and outward turning of the
palms. It menus that ho gives
it up. But ho will not change gioatly.
Mo * is i ono who lias an immense nuin-
bur of relatives , nil of conservative
family tendencies , who aio gathered
in sheltered nooks over the rugged
region , where railroads shall never
itcnetnito. From them his moral fibre
will receive Biippoit. For this moun
taineer , whom it pleases us to desig
nate u "greaser , " is still principally a
Spania d , and ono who has steadily
declined to change his religion , his
language or his social customs for
nigh three centuries. Ho will never
adopt the railroad , and it will not
benefit him. Ho does not wieh to bo
improved , The confidence , fellow
ship and mutual understanding exist
ing time immemorial between the
donkey and him will not bo so easily
severed.
A KUTUJU : KMl'JHK.
Nevertheless , that long and mus-
quito haunted valley of the Hio
Orando which is almost a continuous
adobe village from end to end , is al
ready ruined. They have spoiled his
acequias , and cut his little fields in
twain , nnd awakened the sedgy si i-
lences with unearthly noises. There
will hereafter be more wealth there ,
and less peace. It is a rich valley ,
because it is almost entirely irrigated ;
and has nlways laughed uproariously ,
even for the inadequate tickling of an
Egypto-Moxican plough. Ihit now
tlicro will bo heard there the clatter
of patent farming machinery
There will be , on yellow aulun7n
days , stcnm threshers vomiting dust
and straw where once was the circle
of poles and rawhide , nnd that mad
d\nco ol exasperated donkeys upon
the gathered sheaves , The Pueblo ,
the best of all who bear the iir.mu of
Indian * will , after his contest of n
thousand yenisilh the Comanche ,
find himself vanquished by nn enemy
ho cannot fight nnd docs not under
stand. It was a bad day for nil these
when my friend began to think about
his railroad upon the Santo Fo trail.
But , returning theneo , it is impossi
ble to avoid a curious reflection , The
plains-Kansas now-wcro once tlio
difliculty and danger. It wns like
tlio sen Hint must bo ciosscd. U has
come to be the hone of daily bread for
all who shall people this vast coiner
of nn empire. The only agricultural
hope of a vast region is the valley of
thoKio Grande. Those who como
hither are not ploughmen , but such ns
hope for profit in the feve-iish life of n
mining country. They nro traders ,
miners , frcightcis , and of that atill
larger class who nro Anything , nnd
lopk for chances. All these must bo
fed , nnd more nnd more largely ns
time passes , and the wheat nnd pofnlo
fields that lie beside the long nnd lonfc-
some trail of the old times will fur
nish broad. When 1 ngain meet with
a gray nnd wrinkled veteran of tlio
Santa1Fo trail , I will invite him to
elmio with mo in lenowed wonder at
the proverbial shortncs of human
foresight , and nt the miracle that has
made his camping place a cornfield
and ancinnt , mountain-walled Santn
Fo u railroad town.
Winter Dairying-
Shall wo state again , in ns few-
words ns possible , what seems to us
to bo the advantage of winter dairy
ing over our common way of summer
dairy work ? In the first place , more
butter can bo made in tlib year.
Why ? The cows will bo in better
condition as to flesh nt the time they
drop their calf. Dropping her calf in
'November or the first of December ,
the calf can bo fed better , as well as
tlio cow , because the person has more
time to attend them. The cow , if fed
grain , no man can afford to milk a
good cow without feeding her will
give richer milk than on grass , and if
not quito iu much it will
make as much more butter
through the winter months than
in the summer when she drops
her calf in April. Being fed yrain
the cow comes on to grass strong , and
through the urass season she will give
nearly as much milk ns when she
comes in in the spring. When dried
up in Scptombor.or October she will
get fat by the time she comes in again
and so the year around she is in much
better condition than when she comes
in in the spring. Wo nil know how-
sickly nnd poor our cows are in this
country in fho spring , and it tnkes
nearly all summer to get them up in
condition to give much , milk. The
point we make , that the farmers have
the time in the winter to attend to
the care nnd feeding of cows nnd
calves , is a good one. In years past
the problem , how shall the farmer on
n prairie farm , where ho raises grain
mostly , put in his time in the winter ,
wns to us n serious ono.
Stock raising and dairying , especially -
ly winter dairying , solves that prob
lem. Then again , as to calves. There
is no question that calves raised by
hand , if dropped late in the fall , will
make at ono year old , or can bo made
to make a better yearling than ono
dropped in April or May. The rea
son is this : By spring the young thing
will bo able to run right out with the
herd und hnvo the now and tender
grass , whereas , in the old way , as most
of farmers practice , they are weaned
from milk and feed just about the time
the flics nro the worst and grass
the' toughest and poorest. Wo all
have had our eyes pained at the sight
of the poor , half-starved and fly-oaten
things in August and September. If
wo adopt winter dairying wo shall get
into the habit of feuding more grain
to both cow and calf , nnd that would
bo n tireat gain. Ono very important
point more and wo leave the subject
for this time. By this method of
winter dairying wo have our calves
weaned and off on grass by time our
pigs want the skimmed milk. All
farmers can see at once that this is
not n mean advantage. These nro
some of the advantages of winter work
in the dairy. L. S. Coffin.
HO ! FOR COOL MINNESOTA-
The IiBit Excursion to the Great
.Summer Rosorta-S13-25 for
Another excursion , the last of the
season to this famous summer resorts
of cool Minnesota , lias been arranged
to leave Council Bluffs on September
5th , at 7:45 : p. m. , by the great Sioux
City route , The rate will bo the lowest -
est ever given over this line , the
round trip being only 812.00. Just
think of it. It is cheaper to travel
than to stay at homo. The tickets
are good for thirty days. This will
give an excellent opportunity for
everybody to visit the greatest fair in
the northwest , at Minneapolis , which
lasts all week , commencing Septem
ber otli. The races at this fair will
tanco to see. No such opportunity
for guiiuinu enjoyment will bo offered
again this season , and all who take
advantage of the exceedingly low
r.ilcH will be surti to get their money's
worth fourfold. Make n note of this ,
and don't forget it , For further in
