HOW TO SUSTAIN YOUR COUNTY
PAPER
l. Lay aside your fears th at the Editor
will get rfchfaster than his neighbors. We
have never heard OF man making more
than decent living by the publication of a
country newspaper, even if it bad ever such
a good business. A case in point is an ac-
quaintaDce eff ours, who has been publishing
some six or seven years, has had all the bu-
siness of his own town and county, and q
large portion of that of the surroundings;
but with al! this he gets into as tigm pinch
es TOR money to buy his white paper with as
any other publisher with whom we are ac-
quainted.
2. If the paper agrees with your way of
thinking in peliucs. subscribe and pay for it,
and persuade your neighbors of the same
mind to Ego and do likewise" Dc not tell
the editor to send you his paper without puy-
ing for, it and when you get to owe Two or
three dollars tell your friends who speak of
il that the paper is of no account-that j.
will bust up some of these days. The way,
under such a state of the case, TO keep a
paper from "burstiDg up' is for each sub
scriber to keep the editors books free from
charges against himself. Once we had to
close, and, on posting up, found we had book
ed and outstanding some $500 more than we
had capital invested. This thing of apply
ing the credit system to the newspaper busi-
ness may be lkened to farmer selling out
his crop, bushel 10 the man. The sum
each owes for the bushel does rot seem of
any account to the debtor, but the aggregate
of these bushels may make break the poor
deliver in the soil. sa IS
8. If you have a father, mother, brother
sister, or friend of any kind residing at
distance, and are able, subscribe, pay for and
send them a copy.
4. If you have any printing you wish done
do not " jew" the editor down TO a starvation
price, and when he comes to make a purchase
of you "spike on the tariff
s. If you have any advertising or job
work to be done take it to the paper of your
political faith, except, perhaps, you wish 10
advertise in mere than one paper.
6. Do not run off to the city to get your
handbills, labels, cards, &C., printed, because
forsooth, you can get reduction of few
cents in price. "Support your own as you
would wish to be supported" A man who
is always running away from home with his
business, little deserves the patronage of the
community.in in which he lives; and, as far as
we are concerned, such will receive "the
cold shoulder
7. If you have the control of any legal
advertising send it to your political friend.
This kind of business pays better than any
other, and the more you can send to the
editor of your paper, the better for him and
it. In proportion to the amount OF the re-
cepts of paper; is an editor enabled to
make it useful, amusing and entertaining to
the community in which it is published.

Raising Turkey.


| propose giving my mod, Of raising tvr-
keys. It's my opinion that farmers can real-,
ize pound OF fowl cheaper than :hey can
puund of pork. Heretofore / have been
unfortunate in raising turkeys, bu. this sea-
son adopeed d different mode--a plan Of
my own intentionally which / have been
successful. Others may have adopted the
same Course. but not TO my knowledge!
Young turkeys are apt 10 die before they
attain the age OF three weeks. | can1s 10
the conclusion that the fatality among them
was used by yermin, heavy feed and cold
damp weather. My method this season has
been this: Take the eggs of the FIRST laying
and set under hens; the second laying let
the turkeys hatch. Two or three days before
Matching sprinkle the nest and the f6wb
themselves with sulphur. When the young
were hatched took little sulphur, goH--
powder and lard, mixed, and creased their
heads and 9ecks, to keep of the vermin
while the young brooded. II il does not re-
main on, in eight or ten days put on another
coat. ae
MODE OF FEEDING THEM took equal
quantities of wheat bran and indian meal
and wet with sour milk or lappered milk,
with good lot of fine cut shives once in
two or three days in with il, and fed till a.
month or six weeks old; then lessen the
bran. Feed them early in the morning, 10
keep them from rambling in the dew.
Such has been my method of feeding and
management, and have lost only two cut or
farty hatehed. Ducks managed in the same
way--lost three by accidental causes out of
thirty five hatched. One only died when
young. Chickens in like manner, with
CREASED heads and sulphured nests. Host sbout.

Let che season be as Il may, there will
| unusually be some spots in newly seed a
grass grounds where the Spring or Autu mn
seeding Tor some reason has not yet tax en-
well, and they consequently are bare.
| The month of October, when, the Sep
tember rains revive the withered and fee
Bile growing grass that has suffered in the
Summer drouth AFTER the Spring sowing,
will show such places where the seed has
talledj and now is the time to re-seed them,
particularly with timothy, OF red top.
One method is this: Examine the 6e,d
closely by walking carefully over Il with n
bag OF seed thrown over the shou lder. ta-
/ king along boy with bundle of small
sticks. Wherever bare spot is found.
strew sufficient quantity of seed, and l.I
the boy drive stick five or six inches inta
{ the ground so that the next Sring's ,hawinc
of the Winter frost will not throw j. out.
The seed will come up this Fall and make
growth enough to hold in the ground for the
Winter. When the snow goes off in the
Spring, as early as possible, go over the
land again with bag of clover seed-if you
wish the clover added to the timothy, or red
toP-and sow that, letting the boy follow
and pull up the sticks as he goes. The
opening and shutting ofthe surface Of the
land by the Spring frosts, will cover the elo-
yer seed. and when the growing season ar
rlves, fine young growth OF the grassea
will appear, and the future meadow, OF pas
lure be uniformly covered with the young
crops OF grass. The young growth viii

Mr.. Buchanan, in his Message to Con.
gress, in giving an account of his instuc.
tons to Gov. Walker, attempts dodpa
which the Evening Post exposes. The
Message reads thus:
al merely said that when a Consti.
tuition shah be Submitted to the people of
The Territory. they must be protected in
the exesciso Of their right Of voting for
or against that instrument, and the fair
expression of the popular viii must net

Was this all the President said on tina,
subject ? Has he fully. frankly, and
truthfully informed Congress what vera
Gov. Walkers instructions? Or has he
concealed an Important vital feature
in these instructions Let the record

when such a Constitution shall be
submitted to the people of the Territory,
they must be protected in the exercise of
their right Of voting for or against that
instrument, and the fair expression of the

Some Manline.s Yet.

In speaking of the todyism Of the
Democratic journals, we ought perhaps
to excert such as Forney's Press and the
Ohio Statesman. for they have thus far
presented bold front. and really give
some indications of genuine backbone.
A long and able article from the Press
in which that paper defends Douglas
from the attacks Of the Richmond South
concludes with such defiant tones as
these: y
We are g patient people, over this
way. We have seen The South and Its
allies opposing Mr.. Buchanan's nomina-
ton. and doubling his devotion to them;
we have stood calmly by. and witnessed
their rule in Ksnsas, trusting the while,
like submissive and enduring men, to
the approaching recognition of the will
of the majority; we have heard, with
unrufled temper, the objurations OF leg
islators and Of politicians in some of the
slave States, against such Democrats as
Walker ans Stanton, because they would
not become parties to forgery in Kansas;
anu now we are cApSSlOO " oS"h 'AN
additional outrage upon Judge Douglas.
and to see GoYs Walkers head carried
before the conquering minority of the
Lecompton Convention as a trophy Of
triumph. There is point beyond which
forbearauce may cease to be svirtue. 1t
has been reached, gentlemen of the
South."
The Statesman in winding up an arti-
Gle headed, "W etread no step back
ward" says:
The Kansas question is now something
far higher than the mere question of mig
gerism. The ultimate rights of free white
men, the cause of Democratic self-govern-
ment, is at stake. Shrink and turn who
may. the people cannot be blinded to the
fact that the present struggle is one in
which, to sacrifice the honest and plain
principle Of the Nebraska Bill, would be
to barter away for momentary expedien-
cy. the very foundation stone Of political
freedom. If we begin such shameless
time serving now, when and where, in
the name of God, are we to stop?

The ELEcrIoS.-The returns Of the
election held on the 9Th inst. come in
very slowly. In number OF Counties
the Free State party did not vote for State
and Legislative officers. On this ac-
count. the Pro-slavery party have prob
ably elected their Stats ticket. Congress
man. aud majority Of the Legislature.
If Congress accepts the Leeompton Con-
stitution, this will place the Free State
party in very advantageous position
But there was no disagreement in re-
gard to voting on the Lecompton thing,
and there was no doubt an immense vote
polled. This County gives over goo
votes against the Constitution. The
Free State vote has nearly doubled, since
the October election. 1t would have
more than doubled. had thefullv0te been
at the polls. Atchison County has gone
Free State. with heavy vote against the
bogus baby. Leavenwosth city gives
nearly 400 against it-more than 1eOC
over the vote in its favor. on the 2lst ult
That miserable hole, Kickapoo. gave
about 1000 votes for the Democratic
State ticket. There was some difficulty
at Leavenworth and Kiskapoo. A party
of Free State men visited the latter place,
to arrest some of the judges of election,
for fraud. We have nothing definite
from other parts of the Territory; but
there is no doubt that the vote against the
Lecompton Constitution is from five to
ten times as great as that in its favor, on
the 21st ult.-and they are legal votes,
too.

re- We understand that the Land
Office has been removed from Kickapoo
to Fort Leavenworth-outo of the District,
we believe. Cause-some Free State men
went to Kickapoo, to give some scoun-
drels their just deserts. Whitfield is like
a ground-hog-gets frightened at his own
shadow. He might have left all the books,
papers and monies of the office out Of
doors, and the Free State men would not
have touched them. The Free State men
did not come to Kansas to rob-the
Kickapoos should not judge every ones
character by their standard of morals.
We suggest that the Land Office be re-
moved to Mississippi or South Carolina

Az ATrEMPr TO Account FOR DoUG-
Las DEFEcTIoS.-As some explanation
of the unexpected change in the action Of
Mr.. Douglas, we may state that several
months since the Illinois Senator dispos-
ed of his estate in Mississippi. and having
no longer any tangible interests in the
peculiar institution" we presume he
thought the occasion good one to con-
ciliate the Free Soil fanatics of the North
and Northwest. Having done this, they
will no longer call him a"dough face, -
or taunt him as supple tool of the
Slave power. In future we fancy that the
''little giant" and his sable namesake
Fred, will have no difficulty in standing
on the same platform.

shall also insult the people, in the same
manner Did not Buchanan say that
there was nothing to prevent the people

The grand object Of all the Presidents
declarations as to the rights Of the people,

bear it. Is this not plain to every one :?

people can afterwards alter it-accept it,
and submit it again to the people, as it
was submitled before-or accept it in
some other form-but it is always accept

THa HEIGHT OF ESFRoSTERY.-In the
way of absurd, ridiculous, bare faced
bluster and assertions. the Pro-Slavery
party of Kansas are long shot ahead Of
even the Mormons. Here is a specimen
from the Leavenworth Herald, regarding
the recent election: - g n,
It is the first time in our life We have had "a
crowd in to vote, with the United States soldiers
At The polls to protect Us in our elective fran.
cfise. 1t is hnmiliati1g 70 contemplate freerner
going to the polls, With United States troop;
guarding them in the dearest rights of an Amer
lean citizen. Bat We are brought to this By the
course Of our opponents.
Their opponents brought them to this,
did they? Yes, to be sure they did
They collected in-crOwds. to deprive the
Pro-Slavery men of their dearest rights
They attempted to prevent Missourian'
from coming over and vcting--a right
which was never dcnied them, when the
peaceful, law and order Pro- Slavery mer
held sway here. Their opponents wanted
to prevent frauds, and consequently made
it necessary to have troops to guard the
ballot-box, to protect them in their right
to commit fraud. And, worse than all,
the Free State men even dared to exercise
the right of suffrage, and refused to be
driven from the polls by the law and
order Slavery men! Surely, we
have fallen upon evil times-when the
Free State outlaws refuse to tamely sub
NIT to being cheated. swindled, driven
from the polls, robbed, and shot down
like dogs when the law and order Pro-
Slavery men have to call upon the United
States troops to assist them in their right
to do these things Alas who would
have thought that their opponents would
ever have brought them to this

ANOTHER STORY OF PHILIP SHAFER.-
Our story, last week, of his testimony in
Court, brought to mind another one. of
his attempt to commit suicide. He had
neighbor named Anthony Swisher, who
frequently visited his premises and at
length Philip was seized with fit of
jealousy. He suspected Anthony of being
too intimate with his wife. He threatened
to kill them both bat that not seeming
to inspire them with very great awe, he
determined to split the difference. and
kill himself he accordingly procured a
rope. proceeded to his barn, adjusted ev-
erything, and launched out" Now it
so happened, that Anthony Swisher had
come over to grind butcher knife and
the grindstone being at the barn, he went
there. Hearing somewhat strange noise
in the barn, he entered, and found Philip
almost at his last kick. He Immediately
cut the rope with the butcher knife, and
down Philip came. His neck was yet
sound, Bht he was almost strangled. AS
soon as he was sufficiently recovered to
speak, he broke out with -

Swisher! How the devil did you know

MAIL DTFICyLTrEs.-Surely the people
hereabouts ought to be thankful to some
body for mail facilities, if they only knew
to whom. One trouble is scarcely gotten
over, before another presents itself. We
had just been rejoicing over the fact, that
the route from Hannibal to st. Joseph
had commenced bringing US news in half
the time formerly occupied and now
something worse has turned up pros
pect of getting scarcely any mans at all.
The trap that has been carrying the mail
daily between this place and Oregon,
caved in, on Monday, and will carry it
no longer. Mail matter from White Cloud
will go there, as usual, and will there have
to lie, unless individuals who chance to
be passing between the two places, should
be induced to bring it occasionally
There is a one-horse weekly concern trav-
cling between Whitehead and this place;
but it might as well be stopped, if it were
not for the name of the thing, as matter
by this route generally reaches here from
six weeks to two months after date. When
we shall receive any more news, is more
than we can tell Probably it will be
when Government favors us with mail
route.
