Back 10 the Farm.

Last Sunday l quoted from a private
letter from n young farmer who lives
and moves and has his being In the
bright tobacco belt OF virginia, to
the effect that he had at one time made
up his mind to quit the farm and seek
his fortune In some city, but after
'ssding In the Industrial Section about
better things on the farm. had decided
Z 10 try a while longer In the rural dis
tricts. He related his experience,
showing that by intensive farming he
made something like $500 clear money
last year. and had concluded TO stay
on the farm
The Newport News Press takes up
this story, and after misquoting Il,
accidentally, perhaps. or maybe pur-
posely to make it fit it's argument,
calls upon me for further particulars
saying: The Industrial Editor would
put his readers under further obli-
alton. Ii he would induce this young
& hrmcr to reveal himself. and tell
where his farm is located, how much
& and he titled, how much capital was
'equired. how he obtained his labor
%,upply, how much of his own labor
swas contributed and all the rest of
sihe story.
The man who pays all his expenses
and comes out $1,000 ahead at the end
and slender PROFITS is doing good bus
mess. There is many town mer-
chant who would be glad to exchange
With AIR. Woodson's farmer on those
terms
For the information of tho doubling
Thomas of tho Press it may be stated
that the young farmer lives in the
bright tobacco belt of Virginia: that he
inherited his little farm OF something
like 100 s<res; that mt least twenty
acres of the same is in woods that
&c had tho teams and the farm ma
chinery already in hand, and those may
be considered as his capital; that he
lad n head full of brains and a body
full of good health and energy and a
young wife of like accomplishments,
and these. too, may BIO considered capt.
tai. Just how many of the eighty
acres of cleared land he cultivated
last year do not know. but that which
he did cultivate he worked we'll He
employed labor as he needed 1t. and put

In another column in the Industrial
Section is printed an interesting ar
ticlc on nut culture in Virginia by
Professor J. Russell Smith. of the Uni
.versity OF Pennsylvania, or more
properly speaking, Of Loudoun County,
Virginia. Professor Smith is the own
er OF large apple orchards and chest
nut groves in Old Loudoun. A few
years ago he was called to duty in
the University Of Pennsylvania as pro-
fessor of industry He has just com
pleted n journey covering $4,000 miles,
where he was sent, by the university
to study tree crops. as a possible basis
for agricultural extension. The trip
took in large parts Of Europe. Africa,
the Mediterranean Islands and tho Gem
trail and Southern States Of America.
The people OF Richmond and Virginia
will have an opportunity to hear Pro-
fessor Smith on the subjects uppermost
in his mind, he having accepted anan-
vitarion to lecture in this city on jan.
uary 22, under the auspices of the Vir-
ginia. sHorticultural. Society.

IN bright tobacco the money crop of
that region. His own story Is 10 the
effect that tho hog and hominy" paid
the expenses Of tho year. ana The
bright tobacco. sold in the Danyille
market. was practically velvet" and
This netted him something like $500
e may be news to the doubling editor
or the Daily Press, but IT is a fact all
me same that bright tobacco has for
the past two or three years been sell
ing for more than ever before in n
iorty years period past. and the young
FARMER who owns some good land in
the belt" and understands the hog
AND hominy" doctrine is right In the
SWIM. For the further information OF
the man OF the Newport News Press
IL may be well enough to say that the
young farmer whose letter l quoted
from last Sunday is not an exception
10 the rule. The woods OF the BRIGHT
belt are full OF his kind.
Another Case In Point.
AS bearing somewhat upon the
above: l was in Meckienburg County
n few weeks ago and saw n young
farmer buy farm Of 230 acres, for
which he paid $4,000 cash. The Young
man was from Pittsylvania County. and
as In years agone. / had known his
i5tner We'll found no difficulty in
getting into his confidence. He told
me that he had made the money. with
which he bought this Mecklenbura
farm, within the past three years. and
made 1T by growing bright tobacco on
rented lands I'm Pittsylvania County.
He further explained that he had pre-
fcrred to buy land In his native coun-
ty, but that because of the big profits
bright tobacco growers had been max
ing up there for the past three or four
years, the prices for land had jumped
so high he had to seek new regions.
He had seen an advertisement in the
Industrial Section to tho effect that
good lands for growing the bright weed
were cheaper In Mecklenburg County,
and he went down there to investigate,
and the result was the purchase I saw
him make. But the point is that this
young man made all of tho money for
this investment in three years, and on
rented land and without the investment
OF any capital at all. Maybe tho editor
OF the Newport News paper who re-
Gently. in speech he made in Rich
mond. confessed that his constituency
knows little or nothing about tho Gull

RELIC OF NEW AMSTERDAM
laborers In New York Subway Como
Across Interesting Ruins Of
Old Dutch Prison.

Remains Of a prison supposed to
date back to the early Dutch period
have been unearthed in New York.
Midway between Dey and Cortlandt
streets. under Church street, work.
men came across q solid stone wall.
It began about eight feet below the
surface Of the street and ran down
to the bottom of the excavation, which
here is thirty feet deep.
It stood at right angles to the line
Of the street, and was constructed
with such solidity that the masonry
was still in good repair. It was
pierced by three small windows
guarded by the type Of grillwork used
in the seventeenth century for jails.
and to rry the iron bars away re.
CURED the use Of considerable force.
The attention Of an authority on
the history Of old New York was
called to this relic. He examined it
with care, and expressed the opinion
that the wall once formed part of the
lookup Of New Amsterdam, and that
1t had been used as late as the eight
eenth century. Most of the wall.
where it crossed the line Of the new
subway, has now been pulled down.
but the ends of it remained and win
again be buried beneath and on
either side of the railroad structure.

With peculiar drug that makes

thieves has been reaping rich harvest
in Meadow Glen, in the northwestern
part of California. The drug has
made it possible for the thieves to
raid poultry sheds by the wholesale

dred chickens have been stolen in that
section but no one has been able to
catch a glimpse Of the thieves, who
are believed to be regular vendors at
the markets early in the morning
after remaining up over night to rob
hen roosts and then dress the chick

NO COMMON SOUP FOR HER
Empress Wanted Local Color and
Thought She Got u, but A.
tendants Deceived Her

Il is rather ticklish work contradict
ing such an authority as Francis Crib
BILE. but one ventures to point out that
in his book, 1.-THE Life of the Emperor
Francis Joseph" he IL not quite accu.
rate in his story about the Empress
Elizabeth of Austria and the onion
soup. She did not eat 1t in cafe.
She had heard some of her entonr.
age praising the onion soup they had
eaten in little eating house near the
Central markets, and she turned to
M. Paoli, her official courier, with the
remark that she must have some. ..y,-y.
Nothing is easier" said M. Paoli.
Il will tell the people Of the hotel to
make you some."
Never" said the empress; "they
will send me up carefully prepared
soup that won't taste In the least
like yours"
She insisted that some Of the soup
should be brought to her from the
eating house; and, also, that it should
be served in the identical crockery.
She wanted all the local color, she
said. Well. she had her soup and de.
clared it excellent, but M. Paoli has
confessed that, fearing lest the EN-.
press should be disappointed, he had
the soup prepared for her in the hotel
and served it in q common plate and
soup tureen hurriedly brought from
the nearest china shop.
The empress remarked that the
crockery was delightfully."- pictur.

'True." said M. Paoli afterward:

Crossing by Wire Rope.

To cross the Athabasca river, in the
Jasper National park, situated in the
Rockies, in Alberta, Canada, one must
use wire rope, says the Wide World
Magazine. The river is very wide and
fast-flowing, and this crossing by wire
is not without an element of danger,
seeing that on a recent occasion the
center-pin of the pulley-wheel fell out
just as one man got to shore. Had
the accident occurred a little earlier
the voyager would have been precipi-
tated into the river and promptly
swept away to his death. As the
stream is too dangerous for boats, and
too deep and rapid to ford, this wire
rope affords practically the only means
Of getting from one side to the other.
The crossing, however, is sufficiently
nerve-trying to ordinary folk without
the added excitement Of faulty pulleya.
