^ THE HILL CORN METHOD. A Gaffney Farmer Who Raised 121 Bushels of Corn to Acre. Gaffney, January 5.?So much has been said in the various newspapers of the country In regard to the Wil B liamson plan of raising corn that your correspondent asked Mr. O. P. Hill to tell how he raised 121 bushels of corn j oft one acre and how much it cost him. I give it In Mr. Hill's words: "Last spring I selected a piece of I gray land with red clay subsoil on which 1 had made 107 bushels of corn per acre in 190/. On this I put seven two-horse loads of stable manure to the acre; 1 then turned the land with a two-norse plow, cross-breaking it with a one-horse plow. After breaking it the second time I laid off the rows six feet wide. Then I headed out with turn-plow, leaving a five-inch balk. ???/!? tr\ nlont T hrnkp out IICII I cau,> iv v..v , balk with scooter, and foiiowed in the bottom of this furrow with a Dixie plow witn the wing taken off. Then I ridged on this furrow with a half shovel, still going deeper. I planted on this ridge, dropping one grain in a place every four or five inches. This was B* April 13th. ? "When corn was small I ran around it with harrow. Then I ran a furrow In the centre cf the middle which was fa high bed, and bedded to the furrow with a turnplow, throwing the dirt from the corn. This left corn on the clay I with very litt.e soil around it. I then thinned the corn to six inches in the drill. I did not work corn again until the growth had been so retarded and the stalk so hard that it did not growtoo large. Experience and judgment are required to know just how much the stalks should be stunted. "When 1 was convinced that my corn had been sufficiently humiliated I began to make the ear. I ran around with 10-inch sweep, when corn was about 12 inches high. In a few days I put 500 pounds of mixed fertilizers to the acre, containing cotton seed meal, 10 per cent phosphoric acid and kainit in equal parts. This was the first fertilizer used at all. I put this down in the old sweep furrow, on both sides of every other middle, and covered by I breaking out with turn plow. One 31 B week later I treated the other middle E the same way. In a few days I sided corn in first middle with 16-inch sweep V and put 150 pounds cf nitrate of soda in this furrow, covered one furrow with turn plow; sowed peas broadcast In this middle at the rate of one and Bf^. one-half bushels per acre, finished breaking out with turn plow. In a few days I sided corn with the other middie with same sweep, sowed peas and H broke out as before. This laid by my cni'ti with eood bed and plenty of dirt ^Ns, around the stalk. This was July 7th, I when corn was Just bunching for tas- I .sel. This fall I gathered 121 bushelsl per acre. Expense on corn was $26,1 leaving a clear gain of $95, not Includ-1 ing fodder and peas.?Charlotte Obser- I ver. ^ WILL AUSTRIA FORCE WAR? Easiest Way Out of Internal Troubles,! London Fears. |^0I London, January 2.?The Spectator, in its estimation of the European sitnation, sounds a pessimistic note. Af- I L ter citing all the elements which make! ^ for tne continuance of peace, it finds I that the forces working against peace! are quite as numerous, and in many! cases stronger than these working fori it. It declares that the mere mainte-1 nance of the status quo does not make I for peace, as it is not really the status! of peace. When there is undue pro-1 longation of the condition of war with-1 out shooting, the strain, financial and moral, becomes so great that the countries involved feel that actual warfare! f would be better than a nightmare with! O. the name of peace. jgp, If the conference cannot be agreed upon some power primarily involved will realize that she must be beaten if fa waiting game is played any longer.! Therefore, sne must act and act quickly. Internal difficulties in the case tf most of these powers are likely to aggravate this tendency. There is always a chance of an ac- J tual insurrection in Bosnia and Herzegovina, an event which would almost I certainly fire the train. This, coupled) with the Anti-German manifestations j at Prague or elsewhere in Bohemia or| l the ferment in Istrla, Croatia and Dai-1 i malia, might be the signal for trouble. Again, Austria-Hungary is running up a very heavy bill. Finance is net Bp the empire's strong point. Moreover. this bill must be met in parliament,) wr where the Slavs, or at any rate the) non-Germans, have a majority of votes. It must not be forgotten tnat me quarrel between the Slavonic and Magyar races In Hungary is only suspended. It may at any moment become acute. In view of all this It would cause nc surprise to find Austro-Hungarian statesmen concluding that war would be almost a relief from internal perplexities. But the greatest cause of anxiety Is the "force of racial unrest.' which is dirtctlv affecting southeastern Europe and "indirectly all the powers of the continent. The Slavs throughout a huge purt of non-Russian Europe are the predominating portion of the population. Yet hardly anywhere have their racial aspirations received satisfaction. Russia is the only great power which can be called Slavonic, and Russia, for man" reasons, external and Internal, is unwilling to give full scope to her K*. Slavonic sympathies. w In spite of these obstacles the Slavs are resolutely demanding that the L world shall give proper recognition to r their race, which they are convinced is* destined to play a part in the future. The Slavs fervently believe that while the last epoch of the world's development has belonged to the Teutons and Latinized or Celticized Teutons in Germany. Great Britain, France and northurn Italy, so the next epoch must be< long in some form or other to the Slavs. - N'ow York Sun. MERE-MENTION.

Start the New Year Right Yes, you have been thinking about making application for a policy in the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company for some time, possibly for several years, but for one reason or another you have put it off. None of your reasons will bear rigid analysis, but the principal one has been that your finances are not exactly in the shape you want them when you start. Son, they will never be. If you continue to wait until you are exactly ready, you will have the experience of several others who I could mention during my nine years' connection with the company. When you are entirely ready and anxious, your physical condition may be such that no reputable company will issue you a policy. Start the new year by signing an application. I am still prepared to offer you the very best there is In life Insurance, and in position to prove my claim. Don't you think your wife and children have been carrying the risk long enough? The company is now entering its sixty-fourth year and no company in the world has a cleaner record. SAM M. GRIST, Special Agent. WM mill] BIT ADDED TO WHAT YOU HAVE, MAKES JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE."
