During the last six weeks there has been a continuous ntream of migratinn flowing West throiigh Missouri into Southern Kansns aud Northorn Texas, and it is still riowing. It will continue as long as therc is timo for the immigrant to put in n erop in tu o. región where his new home is to be. The immigrants are a cines of peoplo thnt any State might covet - email farmers from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, who have sold their places in these Stntes for enough to purchase larger ones in Kansns and Texas, and have somethiüg over to livo on white the new erop is growing. To these must be added several small colonies of colored people from Kentueky, Tennessee and Georgia, who go to Kansas to get the land they cannot buy in the other States. It would not be out of the way to estimate the addition to the popnlation of Kansas and Texas which this migration will bring at 50,000 for each State, When it is considered that this means a farm for every five persons, or 10,000 new farms in each of the States of Kansas and Texas, some idea of the value of this new acquisition may be formod. -
