-/T Below we give the Williamson
P ' method tor planting corn:; This is the
system which has revolutionized corn
growing in the South and brought
; jwonderfut possibilities before the f armere
The directions have been rej.**peatodly
published thioughout the
South, but there are yet hundreds and
thousands of farmers who do not know
p about It- In the directions given the
use of fertilizer is on*a very liberal
ipplan, but the gr^at Increase in yield
makes it easily profitable and conse
quently there is no reason why it
?,-V should not be followed.
In these days of labor scarcity there
is no use in working six or ten acres
&, of land to secure what can be groyn
n on one acre. Especially is this true
V _ when the same amount of fertilizer
> P that is used on one acre will be applied
to the six .acres. Because a
p v fanner has idle land there is no reason
llpjpfcy he, should cultivate it at a loss
just to say he has so many acres

Break your land deep and if clay
^aad harrow it welL
Lay off your rows five feet wide and
phut in the water farrow. Do not
use any fertiliser at time of planting.
Plant yoor corn thick?from 4 to 12
inches according to the s trehgth of
year toil and according to the amount
of fertilizer you propose to use around
yoar eorna^A tide application. To
. make a large yield yon most have the
masher of stkQ? per acre to give you
the required number of ears. ^
Ton can ooltivate this corn as suits
I yon, with weeded, harrow cultivator
: or with scooter and scrape. We would
Jpjpiow it twice and thin and hoe once.
Ton can be guided by the condition
of the corn and your supply of labor.
fhird plowing, from June 12th to
July 12th, when your com shoWs
signs of preparing to t&sel and to
make its shoot take 200 pounds cotton
seed meal. 200 pounds acid phosphate
and 400 pounds German KaZnit, mix
and pot 100 pounds on each aide of
this corn, following with your plow to
/ mix it in the soii and to cover it. If ,
. you preferuse 800 pounds of ready
' mixed fertilizer, i ^
Toucan vary this amount to suit
' yiour wishes. Bat to get anything
like a fair yield, plant thick, we would
sever usp less than 600 pounds, put
your corn farther apart in drill say 16
to 24 inches.
For last worlflbg put in 100 pounds
|g| nitrate of soda on one side. Sow your
peas, and cnltivate very shallow so as
hot to break y^ur corn roots. Many
a crop is damaged by deep plowing
'/V ? > ^ |
when corn is at this stage but never
*- by stirring the soil shallow. By folt
lowing this method you can make
from 40 to 100 bushels per acre, just
, according to your proficiency in carlying
the details. The value of the
plan lies in three things: 1, in
breaking your land deep and in planting
in the water furrow so as to\ resist
' drOuth; 2, in having the corn thick
aOd thus Having line reqmrea numoer
of ears, and 3, in putting the fertilizer
In alnmdancie at the time the stalks
begin their effort to produce the ear?
L^ihns the full force of the plant food
Is put intq the ears and is not wasted
In growing stalk, nor has it been
loached away. In other words, yon
feed the' stalk at earing time, and yon
get the greatest possible amonnt of
corn by so doing. The higher the
grade of fertilizer the more soluble it
is?the better your results.

bad luck, but de werry next day de
grocer weighed me out three pounds of
butter fur two, and Sir Isaac Walpole,
who had owed me a dollar fur six
months, come along and paid it
-'If any of you have got de idea dat

good luck you'd better drap it at once.

up all his taters.
"To dream dat you see a white hoss,

nights ago he dreamed dat he was a
load of hay and was bein' drawn to
market to be sold. He wanted to appeal
to de farmer drivin' not to part
him from his old associashuns, but befo'
he could do so he woke up. He lay
dar on his back wonderin' what sich a

down buildin's and scarin' folks to

back rent or vacate. It was only
about two minits between de dreamin'
and de poundin'. It was only ten
hours after de poundin' dat Samuel
was sot out on de sidewalk.
"To dream dat you am a one horned
cow looks on de face of It to be a bad
thing, but It am jest de contrary. If
you eber dream dat dream you am
shore to find a wallet wid as much as
$10 In It, and dar won't be a soul
around when you pick it up.
"I knowed a man who went to bed
arter fam'ly prayers and dreamed dat
he was a smoked ham hangin' out in
front of a butcher shop and dat a tall,
slim cull'd man was lookin' at him
wid eyes of love and affecshun. He
tried to call out to de butcher to take
notice or he would lose his ham. and
in doin' so be woke himself up. He
couldn't sty what sich a dream signerfled,
but he soon found out His
tracks was foilered from a wood pile,
and he got sixty days on de island.
"I once dreamed dat I was a windmill
and goin' round and round, and
when I woke up and told de old woman
she begun to w$ep. She said it

eomin', and you want to slip out of

"If you am passin' a house and a

dat a legacy am comin' to you and dat

"If you am walkin' in d& alley at
night to git de fresh air and ruminate
fur awhile and ,you suddenly think
you smell chicken potpie, git right out
of dat on de gallop. It's a sign dat at
least two white men am watchin' dat
coop.
"To have a bull take arter you when
you are makin' a short cut across a
field is a sign dat things have dawdled

climax and can't be put off any longer.
If you reach de fence ahead of de

If you fail to, den no furder sign wfil
be of interest to you in dis world."

T A PERSIAN SERVANT. " ."
Ho Was Poetical Even if Useless and
Dishonest.
In one way Persia reminds one dimly
of England, for there are such things
as difficulties with servants even in
Teheran. The author dismissed one
of his servants, who, as he had been a
tailor, was incompetent to do anything
but sew on buttons. The man protested,
"What will become of me now
ihat I have been eating your salt for
such a long time and am driven out
into the streets?" He was reminded
that he had only been employed for a
fortnight He answered that he felt it
had been for years. He was told that
he was no good, but his volubility only
increased. "How can I be no good
after having stayed with you? Can
you forget what Sa'di said: 'A piece of
#?i?v havinsr fallen into the Hammam
| from my beloved's hand into mine, I
said to it, Art thou musk or ambergris
that I am drunk with thy perfume,
i which catches at the heart?* It answered:
'I was but a worthless piece
of clay, but I was in company with a
rose for a moment This companionship
transformed me or else I should
still be the same piece of clay that I.
was.'"
One can pity the state of an English
mistress confronted with such an argument.
The author kept his servant
another week, and he remarks disconsolately
that in that time he discoveri
ed that if the tailor was-a poet he was
also a thief.?London Globe.
| ADVERTISING.
The Mightiest Faster In the Modern
Business World.
"Advertising is today the mightiest
factor in the business world," writes
Truman A. De Weese in System, the
Magazine of Business. "It is an evolution
of modern industrial competition.
It is a business builder, with a
potency that goes beyond human desire.
It is something more than a
'drummer' knocking at the door of thje
consumer, something more than mere
salesmanship on paper.
"Advertising is a positive creative
force in business. It builds factories,
oWcnmnor? nr>d rnllrnnrlfl. Tt makes
DiXJ kJV?A. M?*V? w ? ?
two blades of grass grew in the business
world where only one grew before.
It multiplies human wants and
intensifies desires. The result is that
it forces man to greater consumption,
hence stimulates his production to
keep up with his buying desires.
"Before advertising was developed
into a fine art and before it became a
factor in the Commercial world the
business of the manufacturer and merchant
was to supply the normal needs
and desires of the human family; merchandising
was bounded by man's necessities
and by his meager knowledge
of the luxuries which he deemed within
his reach."
Hint of Untidiness.
"If you want to study human nature
just try being a salesman in a
department store for even a short
time," said the cletk over his evening
meal. "There isn't a day but I have
a quiet laugh over the remarks of customers
or, more frequently, would be
customers. Today, for instance, I was
approached by 'a well dressed elderly
woman witfc the request to show her
some cups and saucers. She did not
want china ones?something in porcelain,
for 'common everyday use,' she
said. I brought out samples, and finally
her choice simmered down to a plain
white and the other a white with a
dull eravish green figure. As if to ac
count for her decision she said to me
in a most confidential tone: 'I guess I'll
take the gray ones. They won't show
the dirt so soon.' "?New York Press.
A Pugnacious Super.
When F. R. Benson, the actor, was
training two armies of "supers" for a
battle, he had some difficulty in persuading
the weaker side to submit to
be conquered. Even at the first performance
the vanquished force, which
included a somewhat pugnacious Irishman,
who may be called X., upset traditional
usages by severely mauling its
victors, and the play must have suffered
if the hint of one of the warriors
had not been taken.
"Look ^-here, Mr. Benson," he said,
"if you want us to be beaten, you
must put X. in the other army. That's
the only way."?London Standard.

.Margaret's Alphabet.
Little Margaret was having difficulty
with the alphabet, which was being
taught her in the good old way.
The letter H was a desperate pitfall.
H she could not remember, so her
mother said. "See, Margaret, it looks
like a gate." That was an inspiration.
Now Margaret i? in clover. She never
