higher line of teaching in our
agricultural papers, and by the
mere force of numbers compel re-
forms in state and nation.
Under the direction of the United
States government better methods
are emancipating the negro from
his bondage to the merchant and
the banker, and elevating the
standard agriculture here and
there throughout the South.
Better methods will do away with
the tremendous waste that is going
on all over the western states, and
will in the end redeem the agri-
culture of New England, where the
soil robber has done his work and
the land is paying the price sell
ing often for less than the cost of
the improvements and sometimes
for less than the insurance that is
carried on the buildings.-Henry

and the commission men of the
cities, paying the farmer more
