FARMING THAT PAYS.
Hay at Fifteen Dollars a Ton Better

Hay at Fifteen Dollars n Ton Better
Than Tobacco.
BOYDTON, VA, April 13.-Special.-
Much of the unprofitabeness of the Vir-
Ginia farms is due TO the fact that too
many of the farmers hold to the old
ideas of farming. and insist on culivating
a large quantity of land in tobacco, which
is Year by year making them poorer.
They remind me. in their persistency. OF
"a joke that was told at the expense of a
tobacco buyer who lived in the town Of
Clarksville in ante-bellum days. One day
a friend said to this tobacco buyer: MIR.
A, you are very determined about buying
tobacco. Are you not losing money IN
doing sou Yes, came the reply:
you are losing money! well, amt I
obliged to do something to support my
family And so it is with many who
raise tobacco. for 1t is now worth less
do something to support their families.
Hay and other, forage crops. combined
with stock raising. have been found to
be profitable in Mecklenburg. One Of
the largest planters in the county has
practically adopted this mode of farm
ing and has succeeded finely.
He purchased his farm on Roanoke
River. which was originally a fine one,
but it had been badly cultivated. The
bitches had been allowed to- fill up, and
the shrubs had taken possession of much
OF the land. Under Mr.. Lands manage
ment the place would hardly be recos-
nized. The farm is now we'll set in grass
and clover, and is yielding handsomely.
Mr. Land informed me he had made
for market, besides what he had used
himself, over one hundred tons of hay,
and this was made on about SO acres of
, land This hay is readily sold for $50
per ton.
In addition to his hay crop Mr.. Land
has harvested over two hundred tons of
corn stover. which is the corn stalks
shuck and fodder, all run through ma
chine and cut up fine, which stock like
and thrive feeding upon it.
He is selling the corn slower at $40 per
ton. and that too sells we'll. He also
raises a large number of cattle and
horses at but little cost

Washington. D. c., Jan. 30.-BishOp H.
B. ClawsOn. who is here trying to help
Qusy get to the senate and otherwise
push the fortunes Of the Republican
party, has an interview in tOday's Post.
He says:
Il arrived in the city during the closing
incidents of che Roberts polygamy case
and caught something Of the pervading
sentiment with regard 10 the denuncia-
ton OF the Mormon church in connection
with this celebrated case.
4 must say 1 think = great deal Of the
language used toward US was Incorporate
ana nl-fOunded- Mr.. Roberts is not the
representative Of the Mormon church
and l dare say there were many more
nOn-MOrmOns who voted for him than
there were members Of the church. He
came hsre as an individual, the choice Of
political party, without regard 70 MS
spiritual affisiatiOn. The church is not
responsible for him any more than other
churches are responsible Tor members
elected 10 congress VINO happen 10 belong
to their denominations.
Yet the sins of Roberts were all visit
ed upon the Mormon church in the mouse
debate. and the whole case, in my op1n-
ion, was conducted under the stress OF q
regretable condition Of hysteria. There
was positively no evidence that the church
has broken the compact made with the
government.
The church does not countenance plu-
raj marriages. although it has taken no
steps 10 break Up such marriages where
they existed as the result of a prior sane
ton, believing il wiser not TO do So At
the same time, ii has not sanctioned plu-
raj marriages since the formal abandon
menJ of the practice, and the church
should not be held responsible for Mr..
Roberts or the dOings of any other indi-
YidUal. 1t would not hold in the case Of
other denominations. and why should it
in Ours2
Il suspect that the crusade against Mr..
Roberts started in a very unchristian
spirit in some Of the other Christian
churches in Salt Lake, and was then
taken up in other parts of the country
and carried to congress under the mo-
mentum of hysterical tidal wave that
left people little time for thought"

We found the reports that dissolu-

school had created an impression that
the silver Republican party of the state
contemplated some such action. but just
as soon as we pointed out nat SuCn was
not the case, and that no committee had
authority TO take such action, the matter
was ended. The party in Fremont IS very
strong, and no one but the gold RepUbh-
cans are deSlrlOUS Of provoking G1SSen-
sion. The county committee would Op-
pose anything looking to the weakening Of
the party ana any meeting Of silver Re
puDlcans II Fremont county will be held
for the purpose Of rallying its members to
q hrmer stand
we found The silver Republicans very
much alarmed at the Republican measures

and justly, that the small cattle and sheep
owners Of Idaho. viii be shut out by the
Dig cattle and meat-packng syndicates Of

steadfast for bimstallism. and viii re-
Sist 10 the very last the proposition to

BODIES TO Be BROUGHT HERE
UTAH'S HoNoRED DEAD TO

Governor Wells Making an Effort to
Bring the Remains of Kennedy,
Hudson and Goodman Here.

Governor Wells is making every ef-
| fort to have the remains Of the six Titan
! heroes which arrived the other day
from Manila brought to salt Lake to-
gether. in order that the bodies may
be given a patriotic burial. There is
ne doubt that the bodies Of Sergeant
Harry A. Young, Corporal John W.
Young and Private Charles Parsons
will be sent home at government ex-
pense, as their kindred have requested,
but as to the disposition Of the remains
Of Corporal John Z. Kennedy, PriVates
George H. Hudson and Wilhelm l.
Goodman. there is still some doubt.
Yesterday the governor received ad-
vices from Depot Quartermaster Long
at San Francisco, stating that Thea bod
les Of Sergeant Young, Corporal Young
and Private Parsons would be forward
ed to relatives in this city in = few
days, notification of exact date to be
telegraphed. Il reply to the quarter
masters query as to whom should De
consigned the remains of Corporal
Kennedy, Privates Hudson and Good
man, the governor wired that he was
unable to answer definitely, since the
relatives of the latter three reside out
side the state. The message sent con-
Guided with the sentiment that if not
contrary to army regulations 1t would
be great satisfaction 10 the people or
Salt Lake if these bodies could be sent
here for burial.
By way of further explanation, Gov
ernor Wells wrote Depot Quartermaster
Long as follows.

answers.
In case no answer is received after

ton if the remains Of these two

Statesman Passes Through EPh-

passed through town yesterday on his
way to Sewer county, where he will
perpetrate upon the people his lecture
on Expansion"
The course the Storm Starter will
take in case he gets the nomination for
congress is causing Bill a great deal Of
worry. He does not think Patrick
Henry's organ would bolt the ticket;
but he fears the support it would give
him would be a. quiet knitting. How
ever, he says he will have the solid
Weber delegation at his back in the
convention, and on the whole, he ap-
pears quite cheerful over the outlook.
The Democratic city committee and
city officers met last evening and levied
an assessment to pay all the campaign
debts left over from last fall.
The Democrats of this county are all
sanguine Of an increased Democratic
majority in the state at the special
election The names most frequently
mentioned in connection with the nomi-
nation are Richard W. Young and
Fisher Harris
There IS strong talk here Of having a
reorganization Of the county and pre-
cinct committees at an early date and
begin preparing for the fall campaign
and the special election at the same
time
