Fortunes to Be Made Here.

More fortunes have been made
IN Virginia during the last twelve
months than in the preceding
twelve years, and the next twelve
months will show many more even
than the past twelve. The whole
State has Just commenced a great
forward movement, and at many
pc ints where wheat and corn fields
stand to day will be prosperous
towns year hence. This is a day
of rapid progress. The whole
country is moving forward as never
before. Its wealth and population
are increasing so rapidly as to be
almost beyond comprehension, and
it Is here in the South that the
greatest activity will be seen. The
millioDaires of five or ten years
hence will be the leaders in the
South's present era of development
and the iudiclous investors in It's
mineral and timber lands or city
property. And in all probability
Virginia will be able to show list
of millioDalres few years hence
that would seem almost impossible
to expect now Manufacturers

FEEDING Swine.

This is a matter of interest at
the present season, and one which
is worthy of more attention that Is
usually accorded it by farmers,
Too little attention is given to
variety in feeding not only pigs
but other animals. A swine breed
er, while urging that corn is the
principal food for hogs, says that
it is not the proper feed for swine
at all times during their lite, but
should only be fed in connection
with other feeds, such as wheat
middlIngs, barley and oats, roots
and skinned milk, as the mixed
feed not only produces a healthy
hog, but generally improves the
quality of the meat by producing
a much harder, finer grained meat,
and much more lean meat to fat
He adds that with him wheat
middlings is of more value in feed
ing hogs than corn, and there is
no time during their life when
wheat is not part of their food.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Sept. "a
The following manifesto will be

"To aohom it may concern
"PIess dispatches having been
sent from Salt Lake City which
have been widely published for
political purposes to the effect that
the Utah Commission, in their
recent report to the Secretary OF
the Interior, allege that plural mar
riages are still being solemnized,
and that forty or more of such
marriages have been contracted in
Utah since last June or during the
past year also that in public dis
courses the leaders of the Church
have taught, encouraged, and
urged the continuance of the prac.
tlce of polygamy.
~ therefore, as President of the
Church of Jesus Christ, of latter
day saints, do hereby, IN the most
solemn manner, declare that the
charges are false. We are not
teaching polygamy or plural mar
rage, nor permitting any person to
enter into It's practice, and I deny
that either forty or any other mum.
Der of plural marriages have during
that period been solemnized in our
temples or any other place In the
Territory.
"One case has been reported in
which the parties alleged that the
marriage was performed IN the
endowment house In Salt Lake
City in the spring of 1889. But /
have not been able to learn who
performed the ceremony. What
ever was done in this matter was
done without my knowledge. In

enacted by Congress forbidding

been pronounced constitutional by
the court of last resort, 1 do here

to those laws and use all my in.

have them do likewise. There is
nothing IN my teaching TO the
church or in those of my associates

Better prices coming for farm

An animal raised on the farm
will not introduce disease there.
Boiling water destroys the germs
of miasma which it contains.
BY weight, ducks will lay more
eggs during the year than hens.
Change the feeding coops for the
young poultry every few days.
There is scarcely any danger OF
giving too much variety OF food.
AS nearly as possible, follow a
line of farming that suits you best.
AS tar as possible, own your
tools and keep them in good con-
dition.
About $4,000 acres were planted
with broom corn in Kansas this
year.
Don't be afraid of keeping your
dairy stable too clean and parlOr-
like.
Composing manure reduces
bulk and saves in the amount of
handling.
There is nothing better than
ground oats for young colts, calves
or pigs, if judiciOusly fed.
Always avoid unnecessary ex-
penditure of strength. You will
wear out soon enough.
Do not borrow money unless
you can make 1t bring you a larger
per cent. than you pay.
Select breeding stock first for
health and vigOE; second, for early
maturity and easy tattening.
For growing colts, corn is too
; oats are best to secure
a development of bone and muscle.
Permanent improvement is only
secured by great care IN the selec-
ton of the breeding animals.
1t is by saving everything that
eau be utilized as feed, that the
keeping Of the most stock is pos
Slbie.
Bad creamery butter Is Just as
offensive as bad dairy butter. The
name does not impart cleanliness
or favor.
Nobody has any moral rght-Or

cream.

SMALL FARMS.

Small farming pays OSS0' AnO
LARGE farms call for a large ex'
nond,ture for labor, teaus, stock
;mplements, machinery, seeds, and
fertilizers. By the time the big
farmer is done paying all his neces-
sarv bills, he has very little more
surplus money left than the man
who works but one team and hires
little. Very few men know how to
manage large farms economically,
and a large farm is mighty good
to sink money on if one does not
know how to manage well.
A man that does his own work
with the help of hirellng now
and then, has some chance of saw
ing up some money each gear, but
he must watch his expenses closely,
and take care not to carry any I'M.
necessary burden. One or two
extra horses, OF a servant kept TO
do the chores that the boys of the
family should do, or pack of dogs
for sport, or a wastetul cook in the
kitchen, or more stock than the
farm ought to carry any one OF
these things will eat up all the
profits of a years work very often,
and keep a man poor all his life
OF course this applies to the small
farmer as well as to the larger.
But the large farmer has more of
these to contend with than the
one.hOre man, for "when a mans
goods increase they are increased
that eat them" Solomon found
this to be true, and put it upon
record, and many a man since him
could echo the same truth.
The small farmer, who does the
most of his work, who tills few
acres bat tllls them well, who
\guards against expenses, and who
feeds no idle or unproductive hands
AROUND him, save those OF his own
hoHSehold, is the one that escapes
the most annoyance, sees the most
cOntentment and pleasure, and
lays up the most money in proper
ton to his acres and means. The
freedom from vexation and rasp-
ings of temper that alwys prevail
more or less IN large farming es
Adjustments, is an item OF great
import that does not often have its

BRANDED FOR HIS LIFE.

Branded across the face with a
red hot iron
The word "Thief" stamped in
three languages upon the face OF a
youth, so that it must remain there
for all time.
And this for taking a single
apple from an orchard.
Israel Bizerowsky, of No. "A
Orchard street, has received a let
ter from his wife, who is visiting
friends in the city of Bylstock, in
Poland, in Russia, containing an
account of a horrible cruelty en-
acted upon a young relative. With
1t came a photograph OF the I'M.
fortunate youth after he had suffer-
ed the awful punishment. and the
Journal reproduces 1t.
Isaac Shllckwich is seventeen
years old. He lives with his
parents, Woodworking peasant
people of excellent repute.
One day he was passing by an
orchard owned by DR.. Sergen
Freudianow, one of the wealthiest
men IN the province-famous in
that part of Poland as a scientist.
The doctor saw the youth take
the apple, and dispatched his ser
wants after him. The boy had
taken only one apple and he was
eating it when the servants over
took him. They took him back to
the doctor.
DR.. Freudianow first gave Isaac
a severe thrashiDg. That did not
wear out his rage, but seemed
rather to increase his violence.

people. I will mark you so that
all the world shall know you for
the thief you are"
He made his servants bring him
some stamping-irons, which are
used about the place. He directed
them to bind Isaac that he could
not move a muscle.
He took the steel letters and
set up the word "ganew" in Rus
sian characters. He plunged the
stamp in the fire until it was al
most red hot. Then, with fiendish
skill, he forced the iron upon the
forehead of the boy. The victim

burning flesh filled the room.
The doctor plunged the iron in
cold water and then set the Polish
word, "dieb" meaning thief, In the
frame. Again he placed the stamp
in the fire and while it was heat
ING listened to the means of the
victim. When sufficiently hot he
stamped the word upon both
cheeks.
The awful agony brought the
sufferer to consciousness. He
screamed in PAIN.
The fendish doctor chuckIed
over them. Again be resumed his
lnhuman task of preparing the
stamp. This time he set the Rus.
sian word for thief, "BOpr," in the
frame. For the third time he heat.
ed it and pressed the red.hOt stamp
upon Isaac's upper lip and chin.
The awful screams of his victim
warned the doctor that be must
use caution. He carefully dressed
the wounds and gave the boy an
