Let me illustrate ^ Suppose you born

is for the sake of the bread. Well, the
it is the eorn that bears the interest, and
is tho hire of the corn that you pay for, n
the hire of tho money. You do not wa
the money ; you cannot eat it as bread; co
sequently the great difference between a n;
ural commodity and one that is artificii
is made by the force of law. As it requir

^ - power in any country, and only a small tra
Jl&'Lof population are oapitalista. B
tEe balance in their industrial enterprise
by the power of their money, if not i
strained by law, which fully corroborat
with tho great principal that underlies i
good governments, viz : that all power i
vested in man must have a healthy che<
put upon it by law; and it has always be<
necessary to legislate in order to keep tl
greater power from oppressing and usurpii
all power, as when the capitalist demands
high rate of interest he is making himsc
richer at the sacrifice of the poorer, and
the sacrifice of the enterprise nud industri
pursuits of the country. . Let mc ask he
many active, enterprisiug men of our Stat
that would eugagc iu the useful pursuits

the country, give employment to the peop
that aro now idle, which would feed the
families and make them comfortable,
money could be obtained at a reasonable ra
of interest? But the rate of interest is
high that tho enterprising men of our lac
arc tiod stock-still, and all industrial pi
suits aro at a stand-still comparatively.IIow
can any man engage in an cnterpri
that will not yield more than the interest
the money invested ? and those who attem
it are compelled to employ labor at so 1(
a rate that it amounts to oppression upon th
class of tho population, and that is a ve
large class in our country. And all th
oppression and hardship upon that class
to put more money in the pockets of tl
capitalist than is just and right, making tl
rich richer and the poor poorer.

68 Green Oats.?I have just received an di
00 inquiry in reference to tho comparative val- si
an uc of oats in bloom, with good hay or green ui
ie rye for producing milk. It was also stated h:
jlc that some farmers regard green oats as in- te
jurious, when fed alone. Those unfavorable bl
18 opinions have arisen from feeding oats too
c- green. At the commencement of blooming, d<
ut they contain only 17 6 per cent, of organic is

Evils of Deep Plowing.?One of the e
lost successful farmers gives us the follow- t
ig record of an experiment at deep plow- .
ig:
When a boy upon the farm, his first of- 1
?rt with the plow, was on the hill side, a '?
ellow sandy gravelly kuoll, but with con- "
dcrable admixture of clay. c
The plow raa too deep, aud after trying tt
i vaiu to adjust it, he left the team to drag ?
through at a depth of fifteen inches. It 11

?K heap. It was planted .in corn but yiclad
next to nothing. Having onco plowed c
deep it was tried again the next year at c
vc mmc depth, but with -about the sums j
sault?no crop. The next experiment was c
? seed it down. Thero was a fair catch.? t
or several yeari it was kept in pasture, but j,
iolded no better feed than the remainder t
f tho hill.which had uot been plowed." r
It was now turued down agaiu as deep as s
