At the season of the year with it's
crisp cold mornings much benefit is
derived from a good hot cup Of cocoa
with the morning meal. Or for q light
refreshment at midday the cup of hot
cocoa is excellent for it's invigorating
and nourishing qualities. Manv people
who find coffee or tea hurtful obtain
equal satisfaction from n delicious cup
of hot cocoa. And in addition they de
rive from the cocoa valuable nu,ritive
qualities as this beverage has a food
value in excess of any other. There
are however vast differences in the
various kinds of cocoa, and one should
be sure of obtaining a pure cocoa such
as 'Huyler's.' This excellent brand
has many years Of reputation behind
it. In purity, quality. and delicious

PAPER AS Road Material.

The impetus recently given to high
way improvement has been accompa-
MED by many interesting experiments
conducted with a view to ascertain
inc the most desirable material to en-
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 gamer, as
the result must tend toward economy
and efficiency. In the vicinity Of
Rochester, n. Y, the road builders
have been testing the virtues OF
gravel, used in a manner differing
from old methods and suggested by
engineers who have carefully studied
the matter. Formerly gravel was
found unsatisfactory as roadmaking
material, and it's use has been largely
condemned. The engineers in ques-
ton say it has not been fairly treat
ed, and they are attempting to dem
onstrate the truth Of their statement.
But the engineers 60 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 procurement Of the right
substances at a distance. For IN
stance, they produce a mixture the
basis of which is the sand, clay or
loan found at any roadside, and by
mixing it in a certain way produce
what they affirm to be satisfactory re-
suits. But. while sand, clay or loan
may be the base, in reality far more
novel substance is brought into play
nothing more nor less, in short,
than paper pulp. The account says
the other materials are F'mixed with
the cheapest kind Of wood pulp taken
from the mills, just as it was ready
to go to the paper machines. The
earthly substances thus amalgamated
make a dressing for roads which, the
engineers say, is Incompatible tor
smoothness and durability, and which
can be supplied at moderate cost.
Wonderful things have been done
with paper >of late, but even with this
experience in mind the making Of pa
per roads comes as a rather startling
innovation.

lation of towns and cities, and to
railroads. manufacturers and trades
men as we'll! Furthermore. church
and school interest must inevitably
be retarded while road conditions re-
main as they are to-day.
The rural schools are the schools Of
the masses in which are laid the deep
and lasting foundations for coming
lives Of usefulness and for the BETTER
ment Of mankind. The rural church.
house is the birthplace Of good char
acter, Of high ideas Of life, and Of
patriotic purpose. Neither rural
church nor school can flourish where
impossible roads abound, and if these
can not prosper the American home
can not long survive. because the
American home can only be perpetual
ted in it's present glory through tie
uninterrupted progress of civilization
and the wholesome growth Of christ
ianity and the speed Of education in
the land.
! There is a feature of this question
| which persons accustomed to
thoroughness in every other line Of
thought seem to entirely overlook,
especially dwellers in towns and
cities. It is the universal interest in
volved, and upon this I desire to
speak with special emphasis. Aside
from church, school and social econ
omy, there is meat in the question
for every man to digest. If the COM
mon roads. Of the country were
brought to condition that would en-
able farmers to market their products
at all seasons Of the year, the cost OF
living in town and city would be
greatly lessened, and discomfort
among laboring people and the op-
eratives Of Industrial concerns would
largely decrease, if it did not entire
ly disappear.

IDEAS AS TO PLANTING CORN.
Some Valuable Suggestions to Plan
terS.

Florence lines.
Editor Daily Times: Corn plant
ing time is near and | promised to
give your readers some directions as
to Mr.. Williamson methods Of rails
ing corn as money crop as we'll as
for home consumption.
First. Prepare soil by bedding out
the land deep with one of two-horse
plow, split the middle with shovel
plonugh deep, then throw back two
burrows with point of Dixie if you are
going to use corn planter. If going
to plant by hand throw back with
wing Of Dixie and open and drop corn
in and cover.
Second. Distance to plant. You
should suit this to your land and
amount Of guano YOU expect to use,
say ten to eighteen inches in SIX
foot rows.
Third. Fertilizing, 800 pounds cot
ton seed meal, 200 pounds kainit or
100 pounds acid, and 100 pounds nj
trate of soda, where you expect to
make fifty bushels Of corn per acre.
Fourth. How to cultivate and when
and how to put down guano, and
Eplant. Plant about last Of March and
let the corn stay there until it turns
yellow and then 60 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 same plow and turn wing side
to corn, using only the point again;
this will put you we'll up in May, and
the month Of June, when the corn
will stand dirt from wing Of Dixie.
Put your guano in side Burrows on
each side Of corn, and plough out mid
die at once, deep, and leave alone un-
til corn is little above knee high, and
then put down your nitrate Of. soda
bv the corn and broadcast in peas,
saw. half bushel per acre and plough
out with Dixie or sweep any other
plow you use.
Plough shallow this time, and let
the. seasons do the rest, and you Will
make corn and not stalks, and at the,
same time leave your land in $40 to
Sl5 per acre better than when your
started.
I trust our planters will take some
Of their cotton land and plant In this
way, and raise more hog and homlny
at home. and while I am on this sub
iect, Mr.. Editor, I made statement
that T had $3.50 and had used less
than 100 bushels Of corn instead Of
1000 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 hay and
grain in to our bounds when half the
price is paid in freight. We grow
poor, the railroads grow rich.
We can raise as good food crops
here as any other state, and better
mules and horses than any OF them.
pead. ponder and act, and the victory
is ours for II 1-2 or Is cents cotton.
It will be as any other set Of men
OUTSIDE of the cotton fields may say.
We will be master Of the situation
and not slaves. Yours truly,
R. G.. Commander.
