How to oheapon tho products Of tho farm, how
to double the crops, without addod labor, up
poars ut this tino to bo of little interest to tho
oultivator; for tho markotR aro gluttod with
wheat with corn, with ryo with oats, with bcof,
with pork, and the loBaor staples OF tho farm,
tho orchard, aud tho garden. And tho rural
population stand aghaBt at this condition Of
things, and hayo littlo tloairo to Book roltof In
new and improved modos Of culture whereby
they may be ablo to produce larger
crops with loss Of 1abor or Of outlay Of
capital. There appears to DO no incentive in
that direction, and lilo soarp for roliof must bo
turhoa into somo other channol Prlcos hayo
waxod and wanod; light and abundant harvosts
havo followed each other; but just now thoro
appeara to DO Bono giant wrong, aorne grinding
Or overnhadowing power, that wotghs down tho
commerce OF Tho country; or, may bo, nc havo
Sailod to cal! to our Md some latent force, that
would have compelled things to 1novo forward III
