My Friends, Your industry is great in growing wheat, cora, potatoes, and other things, and you have purchased many horses which will | increase plentifully, but at present you make no use of tliem, except for your young men to gallop here nnd there without an object. To my mind it would be much better to m ako your horses work ; buy ploughs, (hey will not make your backs ache like the spide and ihs hoe. Plough your land like Europeans do, and before long you will grow a great deal more food, nnd get more money than you do now, for one man with two horses will turn up ns much ground in one day as sixteen men. Many of you have worked for Europeans, and know how to drive a cart or hold a plough, buy ploughs and carts and make yout horses work them, perhaps you do not know the piice of these things,—•

But'you will say. ''Whence is the money to come?" listen—iOO Wetes of com or potatoes will buy all these thiags ; if you were to sell I lie Food you waste in your fensts, you would have plenty of money to buy the-e things. linnusjh—you area -wise people and know how to get money. Ploughs ami ships made tin; English gfeat and rich, in the same way will your wealth and your good things increase, when you get ploughs and make your horses work as well a< yourselves. t From your Frieiiu, J. Baber.
