country 81 800, 900. Over there, as here it is

has become a valuable article of trade. Gin

day is IL hours, and in that time 400 cantars
of cleaned cotton are turned out and 800 ar
debs OF cleaned seed. The men earn about a
shilling a day, and the children, Of whom
there are about SO, get piastres, or half a
