ns%s Raise no more wheat

in the Middle and Eastern States, but make
your money out of the Barnyard, as Hirner's
Dairy and Doctor Book tells you.
England has now SIS, 00O, 600 invested in
AGRICULTURAL implements and seeds in India;
Germany obtained the whole of the Congo
territory in West Africa (equal to IA States
like Pennsylvania) for wheat-raising also,
and they calculate to raise all the wheat
they need themselves soon, leaving the two
thirds of our whole wheat crop we used to
export, on our hands, which will make
wheat so low. that it will surely ruin the far
mer who persists in wheat raising. Change
your tactics thereto at once, before 1t is

Barnyard RS the above book directs you.

vices of case where a poor man has for
nearly four years been paying 81 per month
for commission and interest on loan Of $40,
and another where So per month has been
paid for three years on loan of $50. In one
case the poor borrower has paid the whole
amount of the original loan with high inter-
est besides, and now has the loan and more
to pay still. In the others the poor borrowers
have paid three or four times the amount of
the original loans beside large interest, and
still have the mortgages for the full amount
held against them. 1 consulted with Gov.
Davis, Mr.. O'Brien, Judge Eller, Mr.. Hall and
others, and was advised that this manner of
doing business was as illegal as it was cruel
and eXtortionate; that such conditions can
not be enforced against the mortgagor, and
that foreclosure can and should be legally
resisted. They advise that nothing more
than legal interest and proper charges can be
collected and that if more has been paid it
can be recovered in part at least by suit.
ut is discouraging for US to try to help
these poor people and their families while
they are paying at the rate of 10 per cent. q

household goods mortgaged in times of great
distress and need"
Judge Berry's recent decision in our high
est court sustains the law fully on these
points, which is as follows:
THE LAW.
No person, company or corporation shall,
directly or indirectly, take or receive IN
money, goods or things in action. or in any
other way. any greater sum, any greater
value, for the loan or forbearance of money,
goods or things in action, than $l2 on 800 for
one year; aud in the computation of interest
upon any bond, note or other instrument or
agreement, interest shall not be compounded.
But any contract to pay interest not usurious
upon interest overdue shall not be construed
to be usury.
Every person who, for any such loan or
forbearance, shall have paid or delivered any
greater sum or value than is above allowed to
be received, may by himself or his personal
representatives recover in an action against
the person who shall have taken or received
the same or his personal representatives. the
full amount Of interest premium so paid,
with costs, il such faction shall be brought
within two years after such payment or de-

SO recovered shall be paid, by the officer col
lecting the same, into the county treasury of
