The backbone 81 the oppositioa 70 the new
Constitution comes from dozen Or two Of our
eiaizens, who being men Of substance, have
andertaken, In violation Of the spirieaof the or
ganic law, to furnish O. paper currency to The
People Of Iowa. The prime object with them,
- with all men, 10 to make money, and hence
their paper currency. although parpesting 70 be,
ID not convertible into gold and silver at the
pleasure Of the note holder. because the banks
are out Of the way oser in Nebraska and else
where and their mo- - cannot be sent home for
redemption without great delay and expense
These men ere furnishing the sinews Of the
present war upon the new Consultation, and
they can afford TO bleed freely to prevent its
adoption, for they are now putting money in
their pockets and will continue to do SO a.
long ~ they can keep out legitimate banks.
Does the reader wish to know how these
srag-barons" are now tinkering with our eur
rency and keeping their paper in circulation in
spite Of our teeth: The modus operandi is
thus: Bernhart Henn. for instance, 10 the own.
Or in part or whols Of Bank in Nebraska and
another in Indiana, and has Brokcrs ofiice in
this State, where oil the business Of these two
banks is really done and where he professes
to redeem the notes Of both Of them in cMr-
reacy! A. sells his farm and gets thousand
dollais in paper Of the Indiana wildcat, re-
deemable by Mr.. Hem. As he feels no greet
confidence in the paper he at once presents
it at the counter in Fairfield for redemption
and gets in return one thousand dollars in Ne
braska 'Rcd Dog!" B. has in his possession
Nebraska rags to the same amount and present.
ing it for redemption and is handed over the
same thousand but just redeemed, Of Indiana
trash. Mr.. Hem thus keeps all this trash afoat
in our midst without being in any manner
troubled except to count it as often as folks like
to swap cats and dogs. He is thus putting money
in his pocket all the time while the business and
production Of the country is taxed in the shape
Of exchange for his benefit and to pay the diff
ference between his rags and specie!

Where stands and whence or
iginated tho plow? II ranks us
tho "central implement Of Agri.
culturo'-the first invention Of
the tillers of the soil. It's origin
has been said to be in tho pick,
and the earliest forms of the pillow
are ia nowise different from IL in
form and size. To apply the mo-
tive power, make the handle u
beam for hitching on tho team
and add a supplemental stick to
guide IL. and you have such n pillow
as is now in use in many barbar-
Gus countries. One acquainted
with ancient agricultural litera-
|ture, could easily trace up the
improvements, step by step, TO
the present day.
What is the object of blowing?
One object is the inversion of the
sod, and the turning-under of ma
nure, and for these purposes prob
ably no better implement could
be invented. But this is but a
small portion Of what is re-
quired. IL is not alone to kill
the weeds and grass, to bury man,
ures, or even to furnish u fresh
turned soil wherein to place the
germs which shall grow into lux
uriant crops, which constitutes the
entirety Of good blowing. -
Large plows, turning a wide and
shallow furrow, will show n large
days work but that work fails in
its full purpose, most materially.
Flowing should thoroughly pull
verize and ''loosen the texture Of
soil, and thus admit Of a free cir.
culation Of air and moisture, which
by chemical action, disintegrates
or breaks down the mineral por-
tons Of the same, so that they
may be the more readily dissolv-
ed and taken up by the roots Of
plants The full object Of plow-
ing is to prepare the soil for yield
ing its full store Of nutriment for
the best growth Of the crops.
y In IA soil perfectly plowed and
fully prepared for yielding its sup
port to vegetable life, as we have
before remarked, plants can ap-
propriate, from far and near, the
nutriment needed for their use
not hidden in unbroken clods or
slumbering in an undisturbed
subsoiI--but awaits their action
in a lriable and penetrable state,
where every hungry rootlet sent
out to gather nonrishment for its
parent plant, may find and appro-
pirate it. 1t is truly wonderful
how full Of mintue roots, the soil,
Indiana American. [volume] (Brookville, Ind.) 1833-1861, 1857-01-30

when it produces a luxuriant
growth Of grain or grass, becomes,
and the finer and deeper lis, the
greater number and extent of the
Gbres which permeate and inter
sect it. This is true Of all vege-
table growth, and while the leaves
and fruit depend so intimately on
the yigor and extent OF the roots,
these facts should always be la
ken into consideration among the
objects Of blowing.
Friability and depth of soil are
requisite in order to receive the
full benefit from the application
of manures. 1t is not fertilizing
substances in their crude state
that feed vegetation-they must
first become intimately mixed
with, or in fact a part Of the soil.
Barn yard manure, especially,
seems Of little account while
forming visible layers between the
ciods Of a half plowed soil; it is
often dry and coarse, and rather
Stunned than sought by the root
lets sent out to forage for suitable
food. If we'll prepared soil has
any strength and virtue, it will
readily yield the same to plants
growingupon it, and poor land in
good filth is often more produc-
tive than better soils less perfect
ly prepared. The influences Of
air and moisture have freedom to
work, and they are no laggards m
gathering means to supply the
wants Of vegetation.
OF the process of blowing, we
shall not attempt TO speak In TINS
connection. Adler pens and
more experienced hands, could
find full scope and need for their
employment. Some part of that
which is sought in the use Of the
pillow, can never be fully performed
by the present implement. 1t
lifts the surface soil by pressing
against and hardening the sub
soil, and it fails, more or less,
thoroughly loosening the texture
of the soil, so that it may receive
full aration and disintegration.-
Whether any etter implement
can be devised, which, by simple
means, at a single process, shall
fully prepare the soil for the seed
is a problem for the inventive Sc
MUS Of the age, worthy its besI
endeavor at a solution. We throw
out these hints on plows and
blowing, believing the subject one
in need Of better consideration
by farmers, for ia the present
state Of agricultural progress, ant
taking the country at large into
account, perhaps blowing is more
imporfectly performed than any
other part Of farm husbandry.--

the canes of twenty acres (worth
$3.50 per acre) to furnish cuttings
for planting a field Of one hun
bred acres. The culture Of the
cane in Louisiana is also expen-
sive in the care and attendance
which it requires; in the waste
of the plant caused by the early
frosts, which prevent the juices
from ripening; and expensive al
so in the exhaustion of the soil.
The sugar estates Of Louisiana
are worn out. They now require
a very heavy manuring in order
to produce tolerable crop. The
Agricultural Report OF the Pat
ent Office, for 1856, in abiding
to the subject, says: "That there
has been a degeneracy in the
cane, caused by exhaustion Of
the soil and injudicious rotation,
is obvious from the fact that the
same lands, which have been I'M
der cultivation for long period,
have yielded more than three
times the amount of sugar to the
acre, in some years, than in 9TH
ers; the productiveness having
been in those cases in which the
soil was In its primitive fertility.

other appropriate manures. The
product in Louisiana formerly Of
ten reached as high as 5000 or
1000 pounds to the acre, and
in some cases even to six thou
sand pounds; but for the last few
years, it has often ranged as low
as from 500 to 1000 pounds to
the acre."
The Report from which we
quote gives the following table OF
the amount of raw sugar, as a
gross product, to the acre, in diff
ferent countries:
