AMBEIl CANE — DIVISION OF FARM. 30g 



Amber cane beats any other kind now in the market, and I 

 will say here, if you have any shee[), burn up the refuse seed 

 and stalks of any cane, or it will kill the sheep who eat it. It 

 also produces abortion and loss of lambs. I lost forty head a 

 year ago, and paid dearly for my knowledge on this point.

I have handled cattle for nine years, and for the past four 

 years have managed a farm of seven hundred and forty acres, 

 in Doniphan county, Kan. I shall not assert that we carry it 

 on in a model way, for Kansas is as yet new, and has by no 

 means reached a model system of cultivation ; but I think I 

 shall bo safe in saying that no other country can show as valua- 

 ble results, as Kansas can, for the money and labor expended. 

 We are two and one-half miles from Highland, Doniphan 

 county, and seven miles from the Atchison & Nebraska rail- 

 road. 



HOW MY FARM IS DIVIDED. 



This farm is divided into eight different lots. One lot, 

 composed of one hundred and sixty acres, and which has no 

 living water on it, is used for farming land; another lot, of one 

 hundred and thirty acres, which also has no living water on it, 

 is in timothy and clover for meadow. The remaining thirty 

 acres of this quarter section are divided as follows: Eighteen 

 acresof it are in timothy and clover pasture ; five acres arc set out 

 in an orchard, and seven acres are planted with a nice hickory 

 and walnut grove, in which are located the house, barn, sheds, 

 cattle lots, etc., with a splendid stock well, only eighteen feet
