How % M,sn OF LAND 1Hay:Liye

Mr.. M. LeGrand is an Alabama
farmer, and said to be a most sue
cessfnl one, the meaning of which
IS that no owns a great deal of
land and makes it pay, but.he does
not work it himself. Perhaps if
ne did he would not be successful.
His method is to divide his acres
up into sections and to rent them
to negro tenants. This he does
upon the usual terms, with the adj
ded condition that no tenant shall
have mule, but do his work with
an OK instead. He is very we'll sat
lshed with the arrangement rs the
tenants never fail to hand over the
rent money promptly. Of course,
this peculiar condition needs ex-
PLANTATION, especially at the North.
The OK grazes at night and virtu-
ally boards himself. The mule
requires corn and other deIicacies
that require money. The OK is
entirely capable in oil the require
nlents Of the cotton patch, but he
has his limitations, and bis colored
master does not think of mounting
him and riding off on useless err
rands and pleasure trips. As he
cannot ride to distant churches,
cake walks or hoe downs and as
ne will not walk, be goes to bed
and is rested aud ready for labor
in the morning. So far, as the in
ference from this experiment goes,
the negro, plus a mule, is a shift
less and unreliable citizen; but eli

OK and be becomes regular in his
habits, businesslike and prosper
ons. 1t this works the same in
all cases it is great discovery.
The patient OK has seemed to bel
gradually dropping out of our in
dnstrial and social economy, but
ne may have noble mission in the |
black belts of the south still. His |
doci!ity appears to have a more
wholesome influence on the color
ed brother than do the stubbon
and refractory manners Of the
mule.--Boston Transcript.

back is 10 inches above the root of
bis tail. He ignores the slow,
stately walk Of the Berkshire, and
goes in a lively. 2:1O trot. He
always travels as if he was try
ing to catch q train which had Just
whiStled for the station, and he
had a quarter of mile to make to
get there. The thoroughbred ra-

cent cotton for the means to cancel
crop mortgages and also to buy in
winter!
The credit system and the crop
mortgage shut out the farmer
from the opportunity to achieve
independence because they con-
centrate his attention on single
crop and that unremunerative.
Let the reader look around and
observe how small is the number of
farms which export more than
they import. Cotton at four cents
cannot buy what is needed to grow
it. The purchasing power Of an
acre OF cotton is not sufficient to
equip the Drawn and muscle neces-
sary to cultivate and gather it.
That all-important fact ought to
be emblazoned on every school
blackboard in the country. Sure
ly if the people could realize its
import they would not put their
time and labor in pawn without
hope Of recompense. Does it sig
nifty nothing that the tax rolls of
some Of the most populous coun-
ties in Texas are beginning to show
decreases instead of increases in
values, year by year9 This is not
