Fifteen Month for n .6O.

One dollar and half is . very low yearly subscription rate for newspa- per. It is only twelve and half cents per month. But we are anxious to get all the masses more in the habit of reading. We know that if they will read their county paper they will keep better posted and be more prosperous
 they will think more and be more prac- tical and provident and better times will be brought about. Urged on by this desire we now make this offer, to-wit: to everybody who will remit us one dollar and fifty cents we will send the DEMOCRAT from now until the lst day of January 1879. Is not this as liberal as you could ask, and cannot every man in Pope County who is any man at all afford to take his county paper at this low figure. Send us your money at once and have your names enrolled on our subscription books, and you will never, never, never regret it.

How to Meet Trouble.


Troubles in this worldare greatly
aggravated, or greatly mitigated, &c
cording to the spirit, and resolution
with which they are met, The
cheerful, accomplishing man, who
meets the blow unainckspgly, and
goesinto the world tobuGet its storms
with.a stout heart, gives strength and
confidence toall connected with or
dependent upon him, and ut once
brings to his aid the contingent
forces which, more or less, surround
every one whose life has duties and
responsibilities. The weak and ir-
resoluto individual, on the other
hand, who bends to the shock and
sinks into the depths of gloom and
despair,-a feeble, whiting, unhappy
specimen of manhood, unresisting
andhclpless, will inevitably discour-
ago and dishearten all who prrtakG
il, his Eeydrses, and byexample' .sid
great1yfo The difficulties Of the stu
alton. The man OF strength and res
olution seeks to conquer difficulties
tile man of feeble purpose quails
before them. And thus are Zeal char
actcrs dcyelopcd, which but for mis-
fortune, would never have been un-
derstood. There is something noble
and grand in the spectacle presented
by brave heart putting forth all its
energies and exertions in support of
those who love its possessor, and are
loved by him, and something sad and
pitiable in that of the shrinking and
8ubdued individual, who with equal
physical advantages lacks the will
and courage to fight against adversi-
ty. But in either case humanity de-
maads that those who arc rich and
comparatively prosperous should as
sist in helping the victims ofmisfor-
tune out of their troubles; not neces-
sarily in charitable works, for it is
often that the greatest sufferers are

Spring Work with Poultry.

Now that the rigorS Of Winter arc
somewhat relaxed and the earth has
cast off her white mantle, hens are
very busy peeping into every nook
and corner, prating with joyful an
ticipations of coming events; and
while warming up the Enthusiasm
of their keeper, they seem to be
asking for special care andattcntion,
During this interesting season their
lcige lords pay very strict attention,
obedience to all their wants and
whims, and strut around them with
consequential airs that are not a lit
tie amusing to the observer.
The true method of managing all
kinds of stock is to take advantage
of their nature and assist it to the
advancement of their keepers inter,
osts, To induce a hen to lay, let the
nest be partly shaded, When she
wants to sit, if you wish to remove
her do it at night and make her sur
roundings as nearly as possible like
those ofthe nest she laid in. On a
farm where there are many hooks
and corners, and where the fiumer
has some one to attend to his fowls,
boxes may be put up in number Of
places, and the fowls will select and
lay, each in her favoritc nest, and
when the time for sitting has come,
each will go to her accustomed nest
without much changingor confusion;
but when the accommodations are
more limited, more attention must
be given to the nests,
If several varieties are kept and it
is intended to maintain pure breeds,
each variety must be kept strictly
separate. Should any hens have be,
gun to, lay before such separation,
then the first ten eggs laid afterwards
should not be set, but when the fowls
have been separated three weeks
without laying, it is safe to save all
subsequent eggs for their purity,
If fowls have liberty, they need
not now have warm, soft food, When
the snow has disappeared, they will
find gravel, seed; a little green food,
etc. but should they be confined, the
Winters care must, of course, be con.
tinucd, A lotofoystershclls, thrown
down on a road or yard over which
horses travel, is very good for poultry
on farm. Pure water is essential,
and should there DO any stagnant
pools Of dirty water about the barn.
I'LL them up Immediately. Drink
ing impure water is source of dis.
case that should never be tolerated.
Animal food should never be given
