In those parts of Louisiana and Ar
kansas where cotton ls grown, D. A.
Brodie, In the lenrbook of tho De
partment of Agriculture, divides the
farmers Into three classes, says tho
Now York Tribune. First, there Is tho
lnrge planter, who owns extensive
trncts of Innd, in most cases amounting
to thousands of ncrcs. It ls not un-
common to And anywhere from twenty
to 100 families on one plantation.
These are mostly negroes. The owner
himself either engages In business In
the city, or, moro commonly, person-
ally directs the operations of the ten-
ants. The second class Is the small
land owner, who owns nnd operates hla
own farm, either doing tho work nlono
or with hired help. Tho third and
most numerous class ls tho tenants,
consisting largely of negroes. Most of
these nre found on the lnrge planta
tions, paying cither a cash rental or
giving a Bhare of the crop.
Although tho list of crops that cau
bo and aro successfully grown In
Loulslann and Arkansas ls as great as
thnt of nny portion of tho country.
tho most Important crop, usually occu-
P13 ,tse,f yar nftor 3'ear n the same

that it no lougor yields profltnblo crops.
lu formor times, when tho land became

and soon became a thicket of trees and
brush. Tho old cotton rows may yet

them with parasitic eggs.
Here, then, we see the male on sen

When we consider the few who owe

who have to fight every men or uio

ble? Has It built steamships, or es-
tabllshed universities, asylums, or hos

built bridges, or brought miracles out
of the soil?
What did "luck" have to do with
making tho career of Washington, of
Lincoln, of Daniel Webster, of Henry
Clay, of Grant, of Garfield, or of Elihu

with their Inventions? Did it have any

tagiousness, a child with whooping
cough should bo kept away from other
children, and should never be carried
out in street cars nnd other crowded
places to give the disease to every sus
ceptible child or even adult In Its vi
cinity. Tho patient must be well wrapped ap
-when outdoors or when getting air by
nn open window, and the living room
should be warm, although wll venti

food should.be given frequently but In,
small quantities.
During the entire course of the dis
ease, even in the mildest case., tho
child should be under the constant su-
pervIsI(m of the aoctor, for the dlseaso
