Turnip Growing.
Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive F2r"eE'
The turnip crop has been of great value to
me for sale and for home consumption. Ihes
are valuable for COWS, hogs and sheep and are
easily kept through winter. They are a RAPID
grower, and want a plenty of strong manure
well rotted, and it is not often the land is made
too rich.
I have grown them on my class of land from
the stiff red clay to the loose sand. The LAND
should be plowed at least four times before seed
ing.
1t is hardly worth while to tell how to put on
manure or guano as every man has his own way
I give a heavy top dressing and run harrow over
it. This is rather late for preparing land for a
full crop of turnips. Sow in upland and SOW
some in lowland that is well drained.

Labor Savers.
Chatham Co., N. G.

A farmer who has a considerable quantity of
level land, without stumps and stones, says he can
use three agricultural implements to great ad-'
vantaee-the disc pillow, the weeder and disc cul-
t~ivator. Of course he used a smoothing or cuta-
way harrow. He is a corn farmer and has a
corn planter. These implements, when new, will
cost $1O5 to 1925. He saves one or two hands
in breaking his land. One man with three horses
will do much better work than three men, each
using a single pillow. Then when his land is
ready for planting one hand, with planter, will
distribute fertilizer and drop corn at the distance
desired and go over eight acres a day. Then just
as the corn begins to come up, and when about
ten days old, the weeder is run over it, killing all
grass and weeds and cultivating it as no hoe can,
Then the disc cultivator drawn by two horses is
started when the corn is about six inches high.
With tenders the inner disc may be run very
close to the corn. This will go over eight to ten
acres a day. The second time the cultivator is
used the disc are changed so a little dirt is thrown
to the corn. That has to be laid aside when the
corn is high enough to be broken by the axle of
the cultivator. After that, if the corn is cult
waited at all, it has to be done with one-horse
implements. We advise all farmers. with level
land, to provide themselves with these or similar
labor-saV1ng implements. After the land is pre-
pared one hand and two horses can cultivate sixty
acres OF land In CONNECTION Plant.

OF all authors, Henry Harland prob
ably writes the smallest hand. So in
finitely minute are his letters that on
one page he has more words than usu-
ally cover h~alf-a-dozen pages of ordi-
nary manuscript. His chirography Is
very difficult to decipher, and it re-
quires al expert to make it out. The
typist who transcribes his books for
him regularly uses a magnifying
glass.
Rider Haggard has done a great
many things besides write the stories
through which he is best known to
the public. Back in the '70's he was
a prominent parsonage in Africa
master Of the high court Of the Trans
vaal, and the man who, with Col.
Brooke, hoisted the British flag over
the South African republic. He was
a mighty hunter in those days, too,
and many of the adventures SO ex-
citingly set out in his novels are
written directly from his W expe-
riences. Some years ago he took up
the investigation Of the condition Of
agriculture In. England, and is now
noted for his tireless activity in the
interest Of the British farmer.

DIFFERENCES WITH
PANAMA SETTLED
Secretary Taft and President ANA
dor Sign an Agreement.
ORDER EFFECTIVE DEC. IL, 1904
Complete Jurisdiction is Granted
the United States in HarbOrs of
Colon and rs to Sani-
tatiOn and Quarantine.

Panama, Dec. 5.-The differences be-
tween the United States and Panama,
which made necessary the visit of
secretary Of War Taft to the isthmus,
we're settled Sunday by the issuance
of an executive order signed by Sec
rotary Taft for President Roosevelt,
and assented to in a letter by Presi-
dent Amador of Panama.
The order provides that no trade for
the canal zone or the republic OF Pan
anna can enter the ports established by
the United States at either end of the
canal, supplies for the construction of
the canal and article in transit being
excepted. This turns the customs re-
ceipts of these ports over to the gov
eminent of Panama.
Panama agrees to reduce her tariff
from Is per cent. ad valorem to ten
per cent. This reduction applies to all
goods except wines, liquors, alcohol
and opium. Panama also agrees to
reduce her consular fees and port
charges to 60 per cent. or the rates at
present charged. Absolute free trade
is to apply between the canal zone and
the republic Of Panama. Vessels en-
tering the canal ports are granted free
entry to the ports of Colon and Pan
ANA, and vessels entering the latter
ports are extended the same privileges
in the canal parts.
Complete jurisdiction is granted the
United States in the harbors Of Colon
and Panama as to the sanitation and
quarantine regulations.
Panama reduces her rate of postage to
two cents, and is to furnish all stamps
in the republic and in the canal zone.
The zone authorities are to purchase
stamps from Panama at 40 per cent.
of their face value.
The order of Secretary Taft is to be
Ineffective unless Panama shall put in.
to effect the gold standard, according
to the currency agreement of June 20
1904. 1t also makes a stipulation re
garding citizenship rights to Panama
ans in the canal zone, and provision Is
also made in the order for mainten
ance by the United States of impor
tant highways, partly in and partly
out of the canal zone, and also for the
building of a hospital. The order is
made effective December Is, 1904,

Of the fifty IT more persons injured
in the Missouri Pacific wreck near
Holden, Mo-, Saturday are still in hos
pitfalls in this city. Others have either
gone to their homes in this city and
other Missouri towns or continued
their journey westward. OF those re-

most serious. She is "a years old, and
her temperature is very high, but her

to the Times from Carrollton, Mo-,
says:
The sudden death of Mrs. Frank Nc
Lain, a month ago, at her home in Liv-

The physician, with the assistance
of the prosecuting attorney of this
county, where the body was buried,
and the coroner Of Livingston county,

ach and sent it to st. Louis for chem
ical analysis. The physician now says
that Mrs. McLain died in commissions

poisoning, as she was i'll only "a hours.

CONFERENCE is DELAYED
Obstacles in the Way of Proposed
Second Peace Conference.
Russia Can Not Participate at This
Time, and Other Signatories
Suggest Changes.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The United
States government has definitely de-
ciGe6 to postpone the international
peace conference at The Hague This
decision, made known at the state de-
partment, is not alone due to the at
titude of Russia in deciding that it
can not at this time participate in the
conference, but grows out of that,
combined with the fact that a number
of the nations who are signatories Of
The Hague agreement have suggested
changes in the form of the treaty SUBJ
mited to them by this country. To
make these changes involves the prop
osition of having a number of distinct
treaties, different in form, to submit
for ratification to the United States
senate.
Because of the fact that there will
be opposition to these treaties, the ad-
ministration does not wish to involve
their fate before the senate by having
them differ in form. 1t believes that
ratification can be best secured by
having them identical. 1t is also re-
allied that il the treaties r iden-
teal it will be much easier to conduct
The Hague conference. If they are
not well aimed in the same direction
and negotiations leading up to the
adoption of a programme for the con-
ference will be greatly complicated.
The state department takes the posi-
ton that nothing will be lost waiting
for the actual conference until the
close of the "a between Russia and
Japan. Both the b%elligerent nations
will undoubtedly enter into the con-
ference then. The United States, as
the mater stands now, has virtually
won the point it had in view.
