* AGROSS THE PLAINS. Ancient and Modern Traffic Across the Plains---The ' Bullwhacker,"” The Ox-Train and Mule-Wag- on Giving Way to the Engine and Pull man Car, Prospective Riches of the Valley of the Rio Grande. Correspondente of the New York Tribune, Twenty-two years ago, my own first glimpse of Kansas City showed me a steamboat landing, with three or four warehouses, a tavern, and a deep cut through a yellow hill to get away from the place by. . On the bluft above there were several ‘‘groceries;”—the merchantable stock tharein consisting of sundry barrels of what was then known as “‘jug water,” and some unc- tious piles of thick bacon. Some of those, to say truth, are there yct; the same, or worse, This was all by and for what was called the Santa Fe trade. It was even before California came forward prominently, or the sublime senti- ment of ‘‘Pike’s Peak or Bust” had been enunciated. Al Kansas was al- most as uninhabited as Llano Esta- cado iz now, and 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. Beside the yellow roads and dotting the hills were the lozenge-shaped villages formed by wagons :fmwn into hollow squares. All day the sharp detona- tions of the bull-whips fell upon the ear, as constant as picket-firing. Gaunt, high-shouldered, long-horned bullocks wandered everywhere, some- times worn out and stupid, often sul- len and combative. The usual one long street of the village which formed the depot of a great trade was lined and crowded with gigantic wagons and long teams from end to end. rhere were few women in these days, and the male passenger was obliged to pick his devious way among horns, noses, yokes, hubs and big chai No such wagons as those were e used before, or will be made again. It was nine or ten feet from the floor of the box to the top of the canvas. About sixty hundred weight were considered a fair load for a team of twelve oxen, fora journey of miles over plains, ds, stones, vines, rivers—everything. ATION, Humanity took strange forms in those days. The ‘bull-whacker,” as everybody called him and he called himself, was nat like the mumer, ranchman or frontiersman of these times, He was himself—-a bull- whacker. He could bring out the capacities of string of oxen as no other man who ever lived could. He acquired skill hke 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 be heard singing 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 inlife lying under a wagon with his chin upon his crossed arms. He was the original great unwashed, as a matter of fact and habit, and to know him was to understand how greatly ordinary hfe is burdened by THE PAST useless ceremonies and super- fluities. The plains between the Missouri and the New Mexican mountains - a very longreach of country—were very much liveher then than they are to-day. What has relapsed into primeval desolation now, twinkled with camp-fives twenty years ago, aud there were echoes of barbaric song and merriment where now per- haps domestic cattle range, but where for years no man has slept or sung, There were “‘millions in it,” too, A loaded train represented one 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 o!fier, 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 New 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 about it. It was, until eight or ten years ago, as far off as China. The bull-whacking voyager seems seldom to have deserted and stayed there, and only rarely could a ‘‘greaser” be found stranded among the Missouri cottonwoods. Traftic and intercourse came and went thus from time imme- morial to about 1862, Then two or three impecunious individuils in a Kansas village, and one especially, dreamed the idea of a railroad upon the Santa Fe trail. 1t was an idea that ought then to I ve sent the author of it to a lunatic asyluw, if there had been any, and ought now to erpetu te him in bronze. I new him. He had a pleasant and nsinuating manner, and as far back as 1860—the awful ear that none of the few who were here then will ever forget—he used sometimes {o speak of the schemes he had. As he blandly expatiated, no- body believed in it, and as I pass him in the street now I'say to myself, ‘1 wonder if he believed in it?” Yet 1 know he hammered the idea until it finally took shape. It is an immense affair, very little like a dream now— the furthest reaching line of ties and rails 8o far ever laid by a single cor- poration. For the first time ‘e 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, whose Spanish inhabitants lived very much as they are living now before this republic was born. THE TRAIL CONQUEKED BY THE TRACK. I have been carried by that inter- esting animal, an army mule, from hundreds of miles beyend, myself. Tt will never oceur again, but when 1 go now, the remarkable thing about it is the contrast it presents to the old times. And those ancient days have not gone entirely unregreted. Not long since 1 occupied a seat beside the driver upon one of those hibec canvas covered machines, called the proprietors of “‘coach.” we julted o New-Mexican stones, which have a peculiar quality of jag- gedness, and erept in and out among the mountain spurs, he detailed to me his opinions and wrongs, “I'm agoing to Australia,” said he, “‘where 1 understand they still have stage-lines. I used to drve on the plains, and them railroads come and driv. me out o' tha. An’ then 1 comes here, thinkin’ they never could git us out'n these etarnal mountains, And now comes this last, this 'ere To. peco and Santy Fee doin's, a follerin’ us up, an’ in less’'n a year they won't be a stage runnin’ in this kentry. I'm - This moon-faced old fogy said he had never ridden on the rail, never intended to, that they were the curse of the country, a hindrance to traffic, and enemies to honest indus- try. If one of the ox freight proprie- tors of the old times could be ¢ncoun- tered, I wonder what he would say about the Atehison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, upon which the last named is only a midway atation. Yet it is more a voyage than a journey. The Pullman car becomes a vesidence for several days. There a hundred fellow-voyagers who carry with them their lunch baskets and their’Fnculinritiuu wherever they may gm here are small matters of slum- er and food to be looked after, and profound calculations as to how many times one may reach downward into one's pocket, and at the current rate of disbursements find anything there to reach after. There is a long, long stretch of treeless prairie. It isa long, warm, tiresome journey te Santa Fe, even yet; but it is an interesting one. Many of these passengers do not intend to return, and have aban- doned all that lies behind them. They are a good natured company; illustrat- mg nlfflle attitudes of sleepiness, and all the expedients for killing time. They are tired, but I muse upon the time when it required of me two months to make the same journey over nearly the same track. The wilderness, all that vast and treeless valley of the Arkan- sas, is unrolled like a pano- ramic picture, Thz scenes of thirsty marches and silent vigils ¢lide by un- noticed, and yet, except immediately beside the track, the country seems unchanged, and the peculiar land- scape is as it_has been “since dry land appeared. The prairie dog, being no nore like a dog than a muskrat is, still sits upon lis lonesome yellow -{mound among his few companions, and squeaks at the train with all his old-time peevishness. The coyote is still there, red of tongue and lcery of eye, stoically regarding the rushing messenger that has cut the fisld of his sly cxpToi!s in twain; and prophecies his speedy extermination. But there are town and farms, and there is nothing that would astonish the old Santa Fe trader as these. They and their people are of the western pat- tern, neat, new, founded upon adobe, but likely to stay. Even that whith used to be the first glimpse of Mexi- can life, a miserable adobe hamiet in the Arkansas sands called Pueblo, is now, with all its torrid heats and fly- ing sands, completely changed and become a 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, one sees it agan with a sur- prise not unmingled with regret. It was old, even ten yearsago the most ancient and sleepy burgh in America, quaint and primitive in all its ways, redolent with tradition and gray with its centuries of changelessuess and Emwe‘ And now-—adios! “They are wilding red brick stores on the plaza, and noisily clustering upon the steps of new hotels, and looking sharp and talking fast. They will live more in Sante Fe in one day now than the; have ever before in one good year with all its siestas, ‘Some of the silent and swarthy ones look as though ancient society is aghast, a1d the padre cure with all his startled flock behind him, holds up supplicating hands, THE IMMUTABLE ‘‘GREASER." 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 1t hangs a sky so blue and fair forever. 1t has been for ages a capital without ever being proud of it, and almost without knowing it, and has kept the even tenor of its sleepy life so very long. T once knew very well the New Mexican's mode of thought and what his general notions of Gringo imprudence were. But that was upon ordinary themes, and topics to which he was accustomed, The railroad is considerably beyond any of his miracles. T do not know what he thinks of it, His answer to the question is very non-committal, being a slight elevation of the shoul” ders and outward turning of the palms, It means that he gives it up. But he will not change greatly. e 1s one who has an immcense num- ber of relatives, all of couservative faily tendencies, who are gathered in sheltered nooks over the rugged region, where railroads shall never penetrate, From them his moral fibre will receive support, For this moun- taineer, whom it pleases us to desig- nate a ‘‘greaser,” is still principally a Spania d, and one who has steadily declined to change his religion, his language or his social customs for nigh three centuries. He will never adopt the railroad, and it will not benefit him. He does not wieh to be improved, The confidence, fellow- ship and mutual understanding exist- ing time immemorial between the donkey and him will not be so casily severed. A FUTURE EMPIRE, Novertholess, that long and mus- quito haunted valley of the Rio &irande which is almost a continuous adobe village from end to end, 15 al-| ready ruined, They have spoiled his acequias, and cut his little fields in twain, and awakened ihe M'u'_’{' si- lences with unearthly noises. There will hereafter be more wealth there, and less peace. Tt is arch valley, because it 1s almost entirely irvigated, and has always laughed uproariously, the Missouri to Santa Fe, and some even for the inadequate tickling of an THE OMAHA DAILY BEE FRIDAY AUGU Egypto-Mexican plough. But now there will bo heard there the clatter of patent farming machinery There will be, on yellow autunfn days, steam threshers vomiting dust and straw where once was the circle of poles and rawhide, and that mad s [ dance ot exasperated donkeys upon the gathered sheaves, The Pueblo, the best of all who bear the nsme of Indian, will, after his contest of a thousand years with the Comanche, find himself vanquished by an enemy he cannot fight and does not under- stand, Tt was a bad day for all these when my friend bogan to think about his railroad upon the Sante Fe trail, But, returning thence, it is impossi- ble to avoid a curious reflection, . The plains - Kansas now - wero once the difficulty and danger. It was like the sea that must be crossed. Tt has come to be the hope of daily bread for all who shall ,.oup\.- this vast comer of an empire. The only agricultural hope of a vast region is the valloy of the Rio Grande. Those who come hither are not ploughmen, but such as hope for profit in the feveaish life of a mining country. They are traders, miners, freighters, and of that still larger class who are anything, and lopk for chances. All these must be fed, and more and more largely as time passes, and the wheat and potato fields that lie beside the longand lone- some trail of the old times will fur- nish bread. \When I again meet with a gray and wrinkled veteran of the Santa Fe trail, T will invite him to ehave with me in renewed wonder at the proverbial shortnes of human foresight, and at the miracle that has made his camping place a cornfield and ancient, mountain-walled Santa Fe a railroad town, Winter Dairying. Shall we state again, in as few words as possible, what seems to us to be the advantage of winter dairy- ing over our common way of summer dairy work ! In the first place, more butter can be made in the year. Why? The cows will be in better. condition as to flesh at the time they drop their calf. Dropping her calf in November or the first of December, the calf can be fed better, as well as the 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 quite as much it will make as much more butter through the winter months than in the summer when she drops her calf m April. Being fed vrain the cow comes on to grass strong, and through the grass season she will give nearly as much milk as when she comes in in the spring. When dried up in September,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. We all know how sickly and poor our cows are in this country in the spring, it takes nearly all smnmer 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 and feeding of cows and calves, is a good one. In years past the provlem, how shall the farmer on a prairie farm, where he raises grain mostly, put in his time in the winter, was to us a serious one. Stock raising and dairying, especial- Jdy 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 one year old, or can be made to make a better yearling than one dropped in April or May. The rea- son is this: By spring the young thing will be able to run right out with the herd and have the new 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 flies are the worst and grass the’ toughest and poorest. We all have had our eyes pained at the sight of the poor, half-starved and fly-caten things in August and September, If we adopt winter dairying we shall get into the habit of feeding more grain to both cow and calf. and that would be a great gain, One very important point more and we leave the subject for this time. By this method of winter dairying we have our calves weaned and off on grass by time our }:ign want the skimmed milk, All armers can see at once that this is not a mean advantage. These are some of the advantages of winter work I3 in the dairy.—L, 8. Coffin, HO! FOR COOL MINNESOTA. The Last Excursion to the Great Summer Resorts—813.25 for the Round Trip.
