A Letter From Kansas.

Editor RECORD PRESS just .
few lines 10 your paper to my friends
and relatives in Crittenden and Liv.
ingston counties. When left Ken
tucky some seven or eight years ago
some Of my friends requested me to
write the Press a letter when / got
settled.
will now take the pleasure to
inform them that l am located 100
miles West Of Kansas City, on a
branch Of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad in the SunAower
State forty miles from the center
stone Of the United States at Fort
Riley, Kansas.
Kansas is very good country to
live in, but the chickens roost too
high for poor man here. Land is
worth from $50 to $3.50 per acre
here in Kansas.
am engaged in farming. The
principal crops are corn, wheat. al
falfa, cane, potatoes and all kinds of
fruit. We have . very good market
at present. Corn is worth 80 cents
per bushel, wheat SO cents, cane seed
80 cents, wild hay IS per ton, slfal-
ia 90, millet seed Is cents, hogs 4
cents per pound, cattle 5 cents,
chickens IS per dozen and l haven't
any to sell.
Kansas ten or fifteen years ago
was a grand country for a poor man.
II he had come to Kansas then and
used energy no doubt but what he
would have been we'll fixed now.
Land has advanced in price rapidly
for the last few years. Rent here is
getting higher every year all though
good renter here can make some
mony yet, but could do much better
in some other good farming country
where rent is not so high.
The hog and chicken raising is
getting to be very paying business
in the West most everywhere. l
think this is the best paying busi-
ness for poor man in this country,
as it don't require very large capi-
tai to carry on this business.
My advice to man with small
means is to 60 Southwest to Texas
or New Mexico and use energy, good
judgmen. and economy for a few
years and you will soon have a farm
for yourself. aim to 60 there my
self next year. JOHN M. RYAN.

his gratitude on being elected, and
advised that all chickering's be set
aside in the interest of the welfare,
honor and prosperity of the State.
Speaker Gooch appointed the same
