Editor Daily Times , ln pant ing time -is near and f.04ised to give your readers some dk-eetions as to Mr, Williamson's meths of rais img corn as a %ioney emp as well as for hone consumption, First. Pepare soIl by' dding out the land deep with one of two-horse plow, split the middle with shovel plonugh deep, then throw back two farrows with point of Dixie if you awi going to use eorn planiter. If going to plant by hand throw back with wing of Dixie and open and drop corn in and -over. SeNnd. Distanee to plant, You "should suit this to your land and amount of guano you expect to use, say ten to eighteen iftehes in six footI rws. Third. Fertilir.ing, 800 pounds eot ton se6d meal, 200 pounds kainit or 100 pouids acid, and 100 pounds ni trate of soda, where you expect to nak e fifty bushels of corn per acre. Fourth. How to cultitate and when and how to put down guano, and plant. Plant about last of March and let the corn stay them until it turns yellow and then go around it with point of Dixie with bar side to corn; leave alone until it gets, say. ten inches - high and looking sick. then take samt plow and turn wing side to corn, vsing only the pokt again: this will put you well uoin'vay, and the month of June, iLen the corn will stand dirt from wing of Dixie. I Put your guano in side ;ut;rows on each side of corn, and pIQugh out mid 4e at olee, d'ep$nd' leive. #Ion un til corn is little above kne'e high. and then put down your nitrate of soda by the corn and broadcast in peas. say, half bushel per acre and plough out with Dixie or sweep any other plow you use. Plouh shallow this time, and let the seasons do the rest, and you will m1ake corn and not stalks, and at the ,aime. time leave your land in $10 to s15 per acre bett.er than when your siau-d. I trust our planters will take some of their cotton land and plant in this way, and raise more hog and hominy: at home. and while I am on this sub .ect, Mr. Editor. I made a statement that I had $550 and had used less than 100 bushels of corn instead of 1.000 as your paper showed it. . Now let us plant but a. big cotton crop. Plant peanuts, chufas, pota toes, tobacco and all the-peas that you can harvest and stock for hay and let's stop this shipment of 4zay and grain in to our -bounds when half the price is paid in freight. We grow poor, the railroads gtow rich. We can raise as good foo4 crops here as any other state, and better mules and horses than any of them. lPead, p)onder and act, and the victory is ours for 12 1-2 or 15 cents cotton. It will be as any other set of men outsde of thie cotton fields may say. We will be master of the situation and not slaves. Yours truly, RI. C. Commander. GOOD ROADS. Purely a Busiess Propsition.

Collier's Weekly. Paper As Road MatiaL T4re impetus reently given to high way improvement has been aconapa nlied by many interesting eeriments conducted with a -view to asce1ain ing the most desirable material to em ploy in road making. A great deal of useful knowledge has been attain ed in this way, and ultimately the public in general and the taxpayer in particular will be the gainer, as the result must tend toward economy and efficienev. In the vicinity of R(tchester. N. Y., the road builders have been testing the virtues of irravel. used in a manner differing from (old methods and suggested by engineers who have carefully studied the matter. Formerly gravel was found unsatisfactory as a roadmaking material, and its use has.been largely condemned. The engineers in quei3 tion say it has not been fairly treat ed, and they are attempting to dem onstrate the truth of their statement. But the engineers go still farther, states the Troy Times, and assert that good roads can be made by proper use of any of the materials found in the vicinity of highways, thus obvia ting the proeurement of the riglit subst ances at a distance. For ' in stance, they produce a mixture the basis of which is the sand, clay or loam found at any roadside, and by mixing it in a certain way -produce what they affirm to be satisfactory re sults. But,, while sand, elay or loam may be the base, in reality a far more novel substance is brought into play -nothing m'ore nor less, in short, than paper pulp. The account says the other materials are ''mixed with the cheapestf,lind of wood pulp taken from the rmills, just as It wah ready to go to the paper maahinew.'' The earthy substanceer thus amalgamated make a di-essing for roads which, the engineers say, is incompaid4ble for smoothness and durability, and which ean be supplied at moderate cost. Wonderful . things have .beeri done with papersof late, but even writh'.this experience in 'mind the making of pa per roads comnes as a rather startling innovation,' I OAN INSURE. !our Faim Property, against loss by B6o on -Dwellligs and !'nknitute, NAvnsasaid (lontenits, Ntilis& !6s; in a coipngu with niore.tilat. ohdyn of presiiun. i nsurance Agent.
