How to Makt. Morey with Fowls.
-As many of our readers have plenty of
spare ground atiout their premises, and
ehtckeii-taising being an egg-selling and
money*making business, we publish the
following article from a correspondent of
the Dollar Weekly Newspaper:
Keep your liens so that they lay one
egg a day for every day in the year.
Thus, if you begin with three hundred
you must get twenty-five dozen a day, or
nine thousand one hundred and twenty
five dozen a year, which will he worth, at
fifteen cents a dozen, 81 ,.‘160 70; and at
twenty cents, $1,824, cash down. But
you inquire, how can I make my hens lay
regular every day ? I will tell you—feed
them on nothing but meat cut to the pro
per size, fine, and they will thrive ex
ceedingly ; keep them in proper houses,
warm in winter; divide them into com
panies and battalions, in properly made
yards, which can be made at n moderate
expense; keep them also supplied with
ashes to dust in, lime plaster, small gra
vel, and clean water every day, particu
larly in winter. You may intermix in
their feed some grain, particularly barley
and buckwheat. Thus carefully treated
they will not become subject to moulting.
When you want to hatch eggs, to replen
ish the stock when you sell off old liens,
or any superauualed slock, get them
hatched in an eccolobium or innoculator.
They are made in New York and Phila
delphia, and hatch securely. Any person
with proper spirit may thus make a large
income—sure, certain — in cash, too.
What needs a man more, that looks to his
interest, and that at such a small outlay,
both of money and land ? ^
The “ We” of Editors.—It is a pre
vailing idea among some people, soys the
Bowling Green Standurd, that because
editors, in referring to themselves, use the
word “ We,” they consider they amoum
to two or three ordinary men. This is a
mistake. Editors are naturally a very
modest and unassuming class—remarka
bly so. The word we merely includes
the editor and the “ devil.” The custom
originated with Faust, the founder of the
distinguished profession. The supersti
tious people of that day supposed him to
■_i_i _:.u ,l~ ,i_:■ t'__ ._
courage the idea that rendered him a per
son of so much imporiance, and com
manded such a high respect, was accus
tomed ta indite himself, in his “leaders”
and “puffs,”as we, which included him
self and his highly distinguished assistant,
the Prince of Darkness. In modern limes
his Infernal Highness has doubtless found
the printing business a poor investment,
and has entirely withdrawn his patronage
from the craft.

PEIO SPECTTTS
FOR THE
Tri-weekly True Democrat.
The publishers of the True Democrat
propose to issue a “tri-weekly edition” of their
paper, in addition to the weekly, and com
mence its publication about the first day
of June next, or sooner, if l,000#ubscri
bers be obtained.
The great battle of the age is to be fought
in ivovemDer next, ana u 19 necessary mat
every man in the community shoiild.be kept
informed of the movement of the enemy. The
very existence of the South is at stake, and
it becomes every Southron to be up and doing.
Intending to be firm and decided, yet calm
and prudent, it will be our aim to defend the
rights of the South without bluster or bravado.
The times demand increased activity on the
part of democrats, and that full and speedy
information should be spread before the pub
lic. This is the first enterprise of the kind
in the State—is demanded by the exigencies
of the times, and we confidently look to the
Democracy for its support.
Terms. — five dollars a year. For the
campaign, say until August 15th, “one dol
lar,” or till Nov. 15th, "two dollars.” Pay
ment expected on the “issue of the first num
ber.” The size of the tri-weekly will be 25
by 38 inches, containing 28 columns.
