Deeply as'many thousands persons are interested for the spread i insurance of the world's peace, feeling generally has been sceptical this country that any substantial vance towards it.would be h-ad for isrations, but the fact that the bassadors of Germany and Austria St Petersburg have discussed with Czar the form in which the matter reduction of armaments should be :posed at the Hague Peace C'nfor .e, thou.h it commits none i' the n ors to policy, is a distinct ga,in. -eat Britain,it is understood, is eager it the discussion be entered upon.

You annot, eat, food or wear cotton, but orn in the South is always legal ender,and can be utilized on the farm n many ways or sold to your neighbors. We made an average of seventy bush 31s and nearly one-half corn per acre last year without using the hand hoe at any time, neither did we thin the orn. It was left in the row iust as the planter dropped it. Our plans for this year's corn crop on upland is rows ;ix feet,and land bodded out in the fall lnd January. Will plant in water furrow from middle to last of March, if weather permits. Our low bottom lands were bedded out with two-horse plows in January and February in beds ton feet wide, barrowing top of beds as fast as plowing goes on. Two rows will be planted on tou of this bed in Mrach four feet anart, hill two feet. This will leave six feet betwonn water furrow Fide and four feet apart on top of bed. Cultivaiton will be as near this plan as weather will admit. About the time corn begins to poop out of the ground the weeder will be run over lengthwise and in from five to seven days run crossways on bottom lands, but may have to run over twice on upland with the rows before crossing on account of coverintr corn down in the fnrrow. If the weeder pulls down too much dirt in water furrow in the bottom lands 'io will run out water furrows with large middle buster or double jack to keep drains operl Ahon1t t1m crops are halftotn etlti. vnting tlion apply standard coitiplete fertilizers in every other middle on upland, and nitrate of soda at last cultivation In the other middles, either saw or drill cow peas or soan beans in all middles at last ploughing. Fror fear of missing our seed pe:,s and heans we will drill one row of these hotween the six foot corn rows abont the time we are half through with the cultivting.
