WHEN TO BEGIN

At every season of the year we see
articles in the poultry journals stating
that that is the particular season that
is best to start raising poultry. It does
not seem possible that all these sea
sons can be the best season, but in one
way it is true. The best season to
start 1t just as soon as possible after
one makes up his mind to start. In the
spring, II one decides to embark IN the
poultry business, that is the best time
for him 10 start. He can buy eggs,
and itwould be foolish for him to wait
until fall or the following winter to
start. II he decides to start in the
summer time that Is the best time, as
he can buy baby chicks Or breeding
stock at a considerable less price than
il he waits until fall or winter. And
50 on through the seasons, the best
time to start is when you are ready to
start. Each season has its advan.
tages. Start as soon as possible.

the Missouri Compromise and open
ing the territory north of prescrib-
ed latitude to slavery.
Thus it was ordained that Kansas
and Nebraska, once set aside as free
soil, should become free or slave
states according as they had been set
tied as territories by anti-slavery and
pro-slavery men. And now began a
seven years struggle for Kansas.
Lawrence was one of the first
towns to spring up and take part in
the struggle. At first it was town
OF tents, then of cabins. Newspa-
pers soon appeared and it was about
this time that Speare found things
particularly to his taste and sufficient
ly exciting. He had not been conduct
ing his newspaper very long until one
morning he awoke to find his printing
press in the river. Previously his
life had been threatened if he did not
cease championing the cause Of anti
slavery. But Speare was man Of
courage and was willing to risk prop
erty and life, or both, for that which
his mind and heart had taught him
was right.
Undaunted at the loss of his print
ing equipment, Speare returned to Me.
dina pending the arrival at Lawrence,
OF a new press, and printed an edition
OF his Kansas paper on a local press,
carrying the edition back to Lawrence
for distribution.
His two sons assisted their father
in the work of publishing the news
paper and to protect the property slept
in the Office at night. The notorious
Quantrell gang who was infesting the |
territory in those days and who never
hesitated to take the life of anti
slavery men, rode down upon the little
printing Office one, night and in the |
fight which ensued the two courage
GUS Speare boys were slain.
Both Speare and Lane were marked |
men by the pro-slavery outlaws and
both had many narrow escapes from
death only by hiding at the right
time. Lane, on account Of his politi-
cal position, stands more prominent
in the published histories of ante-bel-
lum days in Kansas than Speare, tho
it is doubtful if his activity was more
vigorous. John Speare lived to be
over ninety years of age and to wit
ness the full fruition Of his fondest
hopes. Years after the war he wrote
the Memoirs Of Jim Lane" copy of |
which was owned by Mrs. Geraldine
Taylor, who a few years ago gave it |
to the public library. In his old age
Speare revisited Medina.
