Mr. Dean was a wheat farmer in Kansaa, having in 600 acres last year, but crop uncertainties and lite in Kansas have become rather burdensome to him in more ways than one, and he concluded to leave a country that could produce three cyclones in one day aud fourteen during one season. He nlso found harvesting wheat with tho thermometer 110 degrees in the shade and husking corn with the mercury so far below zero that a pole was needed to reach down to it, rather trying to the nerves and he decided to shift anchor age to a country where the thermomoler does not vary to exceed forty degrees be tween tho extremes of summer and win ter.
