Country Newspapers.
SENSIBLE REMARKS BY A SENSE

country Journalism is very good
SO far as it goes, but then it
stops short of the sore that
works more harm to and Grips |
pies and ultimately kills more
country papers than all other
Causes combined. Our eXperi-
ence has been long and varied,
and what we have to say about
country newspaper publishing
is based upon knowledge dearly
bought by years of hard and
tbankless toll and no little wor-
ry Of body and mind and vex-
alton of spirit.
The greatest enemies to sue
cess in conducting a country
paper are the credit system and
gratuitous advertising or ''puf~
ting."
The dues ofthe country pubs
Usher are necessarily small. If
he credits IA couple of dollars
here to A, and a couple Of dol>
lars there to B, and so on
through the alphabet Of subs
scription, these credits will
amount TO a handsome sum in
the aggregate, Of which a fear
fully large per cent. invariably
proves to be a total loss.
The publisher who will credit
subscriptions, transient adver>
Using and job work, knowing
that he is compelled to pay
cash for his material, has no
right to complain that his busi>
ness does not pay, and of all
men has less cause to be aston
ished at the necessity that COM
pels the suspension of his
paper.
Another thing to avoid :
Gratuitous work for party OF
candidates. They have no
right to expect it. Office is in
separately connected with SAL
airy. And the salary is what
nine out of ten candidates are
after. The candidate has as
much right to expect bis tailor
to keep him in clothing with
out charge as to expect hispubs
. Usher to devote his paper to his
glorification before the people
without any pay therefor
Make the politicians pay the
same as other advertisers; ani
never allow a line of "puft" tt
appear in your paper without
pay. Your merchant or grocer
does not expect to supply your
family from their stores with
out pay, and they have n.
right to expectyou to advertise
for them without remuneration
Selling goods or groceries is
their mode Of making a living
They cannot give their goods
away without loss, and yor
cannot give away space in your
paper without loss. That which
will beggar them will begga1
you. That's the whole trutl
of it.

After they are dressed, hang them in q cool

that they will not brilise in transit. Pack with

Many farmers make practice of feeding their
7hsif starved fowls all they will eat just Before
killing and then send Them to market with full
crops, in order to get the price of poultry from
corn In this way they make mistake; the
crops being swollen TO an unusual size, turn black

clearly the dishonest intentions of the packer,
