POuItry on the Farm

and to neglect poultry as one of the
sources of income is poor economy. At
certain seasons, when most of the other
products are disposed of, eggs and early
broilers in the spring and summer, and
roasters in the fall, are in the aggregate
quite an item, and may furnish all the
store supplies needed. We have always
maintained that the farming class have
facilities and advantages over the ordi-
nary village pOulterer in the way of range
and keeping them cheaply at all seasons
of the year. 1t costs very little to keep
flock of fowls on the farm. They usually
provide the greater share of their own
living from the stable, the orchard, the
stubble field and the straw stack. The
grain and the seed which they pick up, if
left untouched, would be of no earthly
use to the farmer, and the worms, grubs
and insects they injure his growing crops,
vines, fruit trees, etc.
BUYING PURE BRED EGGS.
AS Spring approaches the old question
comes up in the mind of the farmer.
viii it pay me to buy a couple of set
tings of pure bred eggs? We most as
suredly answer yes. Why SO many ask
that quetion is a conumdrum. Exper-
fenced stock breeders, who pay all the way
from 5000 up to $4,000 for thoroughbred
stallion or bull, feel insulted if you ask
them would it not pay them to buy pure
bred poultry, and yet there is just as
much reason for such action as there is
for buying pure bred stallion. A pure
bred fowl of one of the egg-laying breeds,
such as LeghOrn, Polish, ETC., will lay
from % to SO eggs more during the year
than the dunghill. Not only this but they
are much more profitable every way. So
we would advise our readers to buy a
couple of sittings from some good, re-
liable breeder, even if you do have to pay
$500 or $500 per sitting. 1t will more
than repay the extra cost, by the value of
the chickens, and the extra amount of
eggs. Pure bred birds of most any breed
are worth at least 81 apiece. And
there is a large profit in rightly
managing poultry on the farm. Every
additional egg laid in a week by each hen
is so much gained, and when the flock is
large as it should be on every farm, the
number of eggs procured even when each
hen adds only one, is large, and they
alone can sometimes be sold for more
than enough to pay the extra cost of get
ting pure bred fowl to start in. There is
economy in clearing out the poultry
house and runs, as every pound of man
ure has large money value on the farm.
There is economy in keeping the fowls
comfortable, as the greater the exposure
to cold and privation, the greater the
quantity of food for their maintenance.
And now in conclusion we would advise
farmers to procure one or two sittings of
eggs from some reliable breeder, and set
them under the common hens, as we
know they never will be sorry for it. The
best farmers fowls are the Wyandottes,
Plymouth Rocks, Brahmas, Cochins, Leg
horns, Spanish Houdans, or Polish. The
first named beed is the most popular
among farmers as a general purpose
fowl.

WHAT WILL THEY DOq

1t will now be in order for the Mormon
press to commence emptying the walls of
their wrath-and. we all know how odor-
Gus the contents OF those vials are-upon
the head of Nevada's Representative in
Congress. If, however, the Mormon peo-
pie would but just stop and think for a
moment! But, no! They will not! They
dare not! They cannot! If there is any
thinking to be done, it is not the mass of
the people who will 90 it; that will be
done by theirecclesiastical superiors, who
long have arrogated to themselves the
right to think and speak in all things for
the people, and to demand unques-
tioning obedience to whatever they
have seen = fit to promulgate,
either as religious or so-called political
doctrines. But what will they think
now? Anything for the good of the mis-
guided creatures who for these many
years have SO blindly trusted to their
leadership and now find themselves in
net out OF which there is no escape save

MORE LEGISLATION FOR UTAH.

Some interesting reading for boil
Saints and sinners will be found in the
telegraphic columns of the DEMOCRAT
this evening We refer to the anti
polygamy bill introduced in the HOUSE
to-day by Representative Woodburn, O
Nevada. 1t is sweeping measure, and
should it become law, would go far toward
effectually disposing OF the Church-and-
State infamy here, and the uprooting of
that organization which teaches that its
members must violate the laws of the
land before they can hope to find favor in
the eyes of Almighty God.
AS we read the provisions of this bill,
it is proposed to disfranchise every Nor
mon in the land This is severe treat
ment, it is true, but the disease is OF such a
nature as to require the most heroic treat
ment known under the Constitution No
good Mormon can, without committing
perjury, take the oath prescribed for
voters in section of this bill, and it is
safe to say that they will not attempt to
take it. Such being the case, the politi-
cal control of this Territory must pass
into non-Mormon hands, and the era of
reformation, long-looked and eagerly
wished for, will commence in Utah.
The preamble of this measure correctly
sets forth the situation as it exists here,
and the provisions of the bill are drawn
with view to fully cover each and
every evil thus set forth. Not only is it
proposed to take the ballot out of the
hands OF those who have SO long dis
graced it, but it is also sought to make it
impossible for those who in any way en-
courage, aid or abet, directly or in
directly, the misguided people here in
their criminal opposition to the laws of
the land, to obtain a foot-hold here by
acquiring title to the public lands. And
that is just and proper.
Under the sixth section, it is proposed |
to declare void all existing poll and reg
istry lists, and under the supervision of |
the Utah Commission lin this Territory |
hold elections which must result in plac-
ing in Office non-Mormons only. And if |
we do not misinterpret this provision, it
is SO drawn that, within a few short
months after becoming law, such an
election may be held and the nullifers
who now hold on to office may be dis
possessed.
This bill does credit to Mr.. Woodburn's
as having comprehensively
grasped the situation here, and we trust
he may be successful in pressing it
through the House at the earliest possi-
BILE moment. The passage of the new
Edmunds bill through the Senate by such
large majority is evidence that this
measure will meet with no considerable
opposition in that body, and approval by
he President may be confidently looked
or.

MORE OF THE "MARTYRS.

The Ne,cs approvingly quotes from the
Omaha Herald mess of bosh in which the
, recently convicted polygamist Abram Fl
Cannon is held up to the world as mar.
tyr for his religions sake. The fact that
Cannon himself went upon the witness
stand and admitted that he was guilty OF
the crime as charged, is construed by the
Omaha paper as incontrovertible proof
that the man believed in the intensest
sincerity of heart and soul in the doc
trines of his faith, and that therefore he
could and did "give the answer that was
to convict him sturdily and with the
feryor of conscious martyrdom."
The Omaha Herald does not know
what it is talking about. The facts in
the case are that a number of months
ago Abram II. Cannon was indicted for
the crime of unlawful cohabitation The
moment this fact leaked out, Cannon's
martyr spirit rose within him to such
degree that he sought to battle the
court officers in their attempt to success
fully prosecute his case, by sending i'm
portant witnesses into hiding. Time and
time again one witness was sought for,
and at last, after months of vigilant
searching, by piece Of strategy the
officers managed to catch the Cannon
family mapping and secured the witness
whose testimony was needed to convict.
Finding that the jig was up, that the wit
ness he had hidden away had been fer
reted out, and knowing that her testi-
mony alone would be sufficient to send
him up, Cannon suddenly concluded to
work the martyr dodge by going upon
the stand and acknowledging his guilt. 1t
was a cheap way to gain notoriety and
"martyrdom," and he worked the act for
all it was worth.
And this is the kind of material out OF
which the Omaha Herald manufactures |
martyrs for Christ's sake!" Utah has
a plentiful supply of such creatures who
are waiting their turn, and whenever
they, like this man Cannon, are COM
PEELED to make virtue OF necessity by
going upon the witness stand and ac-
knowledging their guilt-which they will
do only after every possible avenue of
escape has been closed to them-they
will, like him, boldly faunt their illicit
in the face of the court and
emerge from the ordeal as full-blown
martyrs" This "martyr" business is
enough to give the great body polite
such cramp in the stomach that only
purging out of the entire system will cure

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

The News on Saturday set itself the
task of e'refuting" the conclusions arrived
at by U. S. Commissioner Critchelow in
his review OF the evidence in the Cannon
conspiracy case, and found no difficulty
in accomplishing the task-to its own
satisfaction, of course. The Negs, we
are grleved to say, doesn't agree with
Commissioner Critchelow in his findings.
While the Commissioner was conf dent
that the evidence clearly warranted him
In imposing $4,000 worth OF restraint
upon the defendants until such time as
the Grand Jury could investigate the
case, the Nevs is equally confident that
the charge upon which they are held is
both malicious and absurd. Doubtless,
the defendants themselves are of the
same opinion; at least, it is safe to say
that they would so express themselves if
asked to pass upon the merits of the
charge against them.
What pity it is the inspired News did
not have its revelating machine in better
working order week ago, since it would
not then have been under the necessity,
as it now is, of taking back that nice lit
tie story about Hugh Cannon being in
spired to assault Mr.. Dickson because the
latter "plied with indelicate questions
the mother who bore him." That was
an awkward mistake to come down
through the revealing wires which lead
to the News sanctum, and especially so
since the Neacs editor is reputed to be an
uncle of that 'inofensive, beardless
boy" who committed the assault.
In the light of recently developed facts,
it is impossible to reach any conclusion
other than that the Ne'us purposely lied
about the "motive" which young Cannon
had in assaulting Mr.. Dickson; and if
that be true, of course no one can wonder
that it now fails to see eye to eye with
Commissioner Critchelow in his ruling.
Doubtless the Commissioner feels bad
about it, but not sufficiently SO, we opine,
to reduce the amount of the defendants
bail to such sums as would enable them
TO easily furnish the same and then 90
hunting their partner Hugh.

and hied him out of sight and reach ol
the court officers.
1t must be that this is one of the evi-
dences of the self-restraint, patience, en-
durance and peace, which the NeUs has
discovered m four people, and of which
it is SO proud. Verify, there are virtues
and virtues, but it takes a Mormon news
paper to pick out the peculiar virtues
which SO distinguish four people" and
give their leaders such good reason to be
proud of them.

"PROUD OF OUR PEOPLEr,

I'VE are proud of our people," ex
claimed the principal Church organ the
other evening, after using up column
of its editorial space in "refuting' the
statement that the recent outrages per
petrated by members of the Mormon
Church upon United States officials resi-.
dent in this city, were but the legitimate
outcome of the teachings and preach
ings OF Mormonism.
"We are proud of our peoplep' What
peculiar qualities "our people" must have
developed to call forth such a remark
from so vile source. What are those
qualities? Is it because of the willing
ness they manifest to blindly follow the
counsel which the Church authorities
deign to give them in all things, both
spiritual and temporal? Is it because
OF the servile obedience they render to
the injunctions placed upon them to
carry out the will of bogus priesthood,
even though in SO doing they violate all
the laws of decency which elsewhere gov
ern and control in society? Is it the
willingness they show, at the command
OF fanatical and traitorous few, to fly in
the face of a benign Government and
trample under foot the just and mercifuls
provisions of its laws? Is it the "willing-
ness" with which they flaunt their shame
IN the face OF ministers of justice, and
from common polygameus Saints evolute
into martyrs for Christ's sake''-when
they can't help themselves? Is it be-
cause they at all times stand ready to
carry out the orders OF their ecclesiastical
bosses, even to the extent of assaulting
and attempting assassination of Govern
ment officers whose only stoffense'' is
found in strict adherence to the line of
their sworn duty? If not for such noble
qualities as these, what is it the Church
leaders see in "our people" to be so proud
of =?
Perhaps it is the magnanimity which
"our people" display toward the hated |
Government officials and others in Utah |
which causes the NeWs to thus break !
forth in rapture. And yet, how little is
that magnanimity appreciated by the |
misguided officials, who, in spite of cov-
ert threats of violence and assassination, |
continue to vindicate the laws of their
country by arresting and imprisoning the
Saints. The forbearance of the Nor |
mons under these circumstances is
truly touching, and at no time per
haps was it better illustrated than
when they failed to even lodge a COM
plant in court against little deputy
marshal who, one Saturday night not
long ago, waylaid four lusty and bloom
ing Saints in a dark alley, ''foully mur-
dered' one and sought to effectually do
up the other three. Even the s'foullv
murdered" Saint, who subsequently came
to life again, declined to ask the court to
redress his wrong, and to avoid being
called upon as witness to establish the
guilt of the bad deputy marshal, mag
took the underground route ]

in emigration from the country or obedi-

past teaches that there is little to expect
