New Rule for Computing Interest.

N0W RuI0 LOT computing AnCGrCSG.
Here is a new rule for computing
interest It is so simple and so true
that every banker, merchant and clerk
should keep it for refernee By no
arithmetical process can the desired
information be gained by So few fig
ures.
Six per cent.-Multiply any given
number of. dollars by the number Of
days Of interest desired, separate the
right hand figure and divide by six !;
the result is the true interest on such
number of per cent.
Eight per cent.-MultiplY anv given
amount by the number ol DAYS upon
which it is desired to ag,certain the in.
terest, and devide byy 45, and the re-
suit win be true interest for the time
required.
len Fer cent.-Multiply the same
as apLve and divide by 80, and the re
sat will show the interest at 10 pc
cent

DEAR S1R:-Seeing an invitation to
your friends for contributions to vour
noble paper, permit ME through
the columns of the same, to inform Won
how Burns Grange: No. 284, is prosper.
ing SO far as mind or muscle is con.
cerned We have nothing to boast and
only one thing Of which We are at al
proud, that is, our existence AZ a little
twig Of the great tree of Liberty, known
as the P. Of H.. an order that we krow
t" be the back bone and marrow Of the
'''lon. power that will at no very re.
mote day compel monopolists of everv
shade and grade to acknowledge the
poor down trodden farmer to be a man
and his wife Il woman, and treat them as
such; power that will compel the
magnates of earth, to acknowledge the
producer their equals in mind or muscle.
and in morality by far their superiors.
but as we believe this to be an establish.
ca fact: at least in the mind of the
farmer: We will not trespass on your
time further upon this point.
Living as we do, out here in the
we<ter" wilds, and not having an over
STOCK OF brains to commence with, and
what little we have on hand almost fro
zen tight to the cavity, we, are rather
slow OF understanding, therefore would
some kind brother or sister Of our order
INFORM US Of what real advantage a
County Agent will be to the Oranges
Of his county.
The Grange advance., 1874-02-18

We are of the opinion that the sec-
retary of each Subordinate Grange ,a, can,
transact the business of his Graoya
with the State Agent, and thus save
expenses of County Agents. It appears
to me while we are engaged in pulling
down monopoly with one hand. we
ought to guard against building it up
with the other; the cure in some Of
these cases will soon prove to be as fatal
as the disease.
One itea, more that we seek inforna-
tlon on, is the little matter Of a $500
loan from each of the Subordinate
oranges throughout the State. asked
oy the leading members of State Grange,
when we are we'll aware that Il large
amount OF money is now in our State
treasury, gathering mold for wan, of
use ; why not draw on this fund instead
OF the aforesaid method. We know Of
no reason. except it is the object of our
leading men to collect all the available
surplus money OF our country aud pile
1t up IN one place for some unseen ener.
gency and thereby build up a monopoly
IN our own midst. Whereby the last
case OF this man is worse than the first.

Editors Of Tn" Gyonyc Adrouce:
In one Of your issues, see that a
friend in Stanton, in this county takes
exceptions to my views of the fence
question, and sets out by calling it class
legislation. We hear great deal
OF that kind of legislation now days,
and if my friend thinks no legislation
at all to be that kind, why then per.
haps he can make it appear that l
stand up for such legislation. The
Grand Master Of the Universe left this
matter about right, and in the absence
OF any Legislation every man takes care
OF all that is his own. whether it be
stock or something else.
Friend G.. says this is all right
What is it to take care Of his own
stock? Is to feed them in winter from
your own supply Of food: and let them
run on your neighbor's in summer, un.
less he will help to fence them in ?
Why not ask him to help you build
your barn, or to furnish half the feed
to keep your stock through the winter ?
He says that every one wants to keep
stock. This is a mistake, and if it were
the case, it's not likely that all would keep
the same number. If I wish to keep
three COWS and friend G. has farm
where it will pay to keep one hundred
| say to G. II will fence my own stock,
you fence yours and all be right.
Will take care Of myself without any
law But" says G.. II want law
to make you put your share of line
fence between us, because raise stock
| only ask you to make one-half of the
fence and this is fair" reply, that
Il can raise grain without any fence or
law either, if you will take care of your
stock" Now where does this class lee-
is!ation come in? Is it not that which
works against the class who would raise
grain and in favor of those who would
raise stock? Now I think that friend
G. is a Granger and we all want to fight
class Legislation, of which we have all
had a great deal too much in times past,
But first, let US adopt David Crocket's
motto, Be sure you are right and
then go ahead and give them goudy"
