Advertising Us O Science.

Some men have a genius for it.
Others are mere clods, and plod along
on the beaten track of an idea which
has been worn into ruts years gone by
The men Of genius, enterprise, and
courage, are naturally the pioneers in
new systems of advertising, as they
are in every other pursuit in life. 1t
is remarkable that new ideas in ad.
vertising have kept pace with new
ideas in other things. One great rea-
son for this, doubtless, is the facility
which the Press affords to tho advcr-
User for reaching the attention of the
public. But then, again, if it
were not for the money expended in
advertising. there wo;,!d be bat com.
paratively few papers published. The
advertising patronage Of newspaper
is the pabuIum upon which the pub
Usher depends to support the expsn-
res Of the publication and not upon
the ih"he5 received for the paper
that would scatce'y pay for the white

That those who struggled and
fought for Secession generally believe

doubt. Jefferson DAVIS late speeches
fairly express their average oonvic

still attim the right Of Secession,
am satisfied that u ihajo,ity IF them

that wisdom which profits by the les.

some more aGspicious season, the
struggle for all independent Confederu.
cy but the great majority have had
enough Of war: feel sure that i'm:
other Southern Secession is all but
impossible.
That the SOUTH Is steadily resov:
ering from the oalamitics and losses
consequent on dur late civil war, is
very Obvious. The process might be
more rapid, but could hard be ihoFe
substantial. The cattle and s@lie
which we're oatch up duriug tho civil
war arc being steadily foptoduceJ,
and are already twice or ,hrise as
numerous as they we're Fix years ago ;
lands are going back into cultivation;
which have long lain waste ard idlo
farm buildings are undergoing reno:
vatiun ; cities and villages are ex:
tending their borders factories aud
furnaces arc widely projected, and
some are in process of construction.
1t were irrational to expect that all
the bitterness engendercd by twenty
years of sectional collision, ncluditg
four of bloody war, should be elfucGd
in day, of course it is not but the
tendency is right, and Time will ex:
ert its healing influence if no uuto
ward event should interpuse to pre-
vent it. With a mingliug of 6rmness
in upholding tho right with kindness
to those who were miseducated into

Treatment for Chicken Cholera.

In recent number Of your paper,
hud communicate ton from G..
Bohrer, on tho disease Of fowls, par
ticularly what he considered indi
gestion, or chicken cholera, in which
he gives diagnosis of the disease
which, l suppose, is possibly correot.
uc elso says, up to the present time
1o trSatticht with which he is ac.
quainted has proved satisfactory.-
Now, | wish to say to him, and all Of
our readers, that have found d very
easy and cheap remedy that is salts
fuct8ry. During tho year 1868 and
1863 lost nearly all my fowls, both
chickens and turkeys, entirely of the
lattcr,) by this same disease. In one
instance on entire brood of chickens,
some two or three weeks old, seven.
teen in number, all died under tho
hen in QUO night. AS remedy,
bought one pound of Spanish brown
and mixed about onc-fourth of it with,
perhaps, three quarts Of wheat bran,
(corn mcal is just as good aud placed
it in large Sugar trough near tho
house door. In short time they had
devourcd it all. A week or two af-
forwards | gave them another portion
and 80 on until the whole pound was
ad ministerial. in the mean time
| gave them every day, buttermilk,
tlabber, dish-watc &c., as ihuch as
they could drink through the day.
l whitc~ashed my hen house com
plotely, inside and out, and gave them
in trough placed in the hen house
about half bushcl of Stacked limo to
eat and wallow in at pleasure and the
result hds been that never had heal
thier fowls in my life, and | do not
think | have ever had lousy ohicken
under this Treatment.
| would also state That for aomb
years past | have planted patch of
popcorn to feed young chikcns on.
They will tick it lip FREELY at four or
five days old, and as soon they can eat
it, feed them on large corn.
