From Five Bushels CT
Corn to 100

We came.to Virginia from Kan
sas ten years ago last March,
We paid for our farm, but had
no working ca pital, in fact no
money at all, and it is hard any
where to do anything without
money. We started to work and
got some good corn on creek,
bottom, and house of tobacco,
but the upland corn was nothing,
| think five bushels to the acre.
or hardly that, W e did not real
ize at the time what was wrong,
but we soon saw that there was
n o humus in the land. SO
we started with peas, then oates
for hay, and crimson clover, and
now we can raise 100 bushels of
corn to the acre. We have al
ready got more than 100 bushels.
This year we realized a good
crop of corn, tobacco and seven
tons of oats and white-blooming
crimson clover hay on two acres
without any rain. One of my
sons got a $25 premium for rails
ing the most corn on one acre in
the county, and six months sub
scription to the Progressive Far
mer, and a blue ribbon at the
State Fair.-Fred Herring, in
the Progressive Farmer.

Woman, With Pass,
Elected From Train
Gets $1,000 Damage

Rome, Ga, Dec. 19.-Because
she was put off train n corn
patch, Mrs. F. r. Morris, OF
Birmingham, Ala, will get 81 200
from the Central of Georgia rail
road unless a higher court DEGREES
otherwise.
Mrs. Morris boarded a Central
train December 26, 1911, at Rome
with a pass as her medium of
transportation, as her husband at
that time was an engineer on the
Central. Conductor Ruff refused
to honor the pass on the grounds
that it bore the date November
30, 1911 and was out of date. Soon
after leaving Silver Greek the train
was stopped and Mrs. Morris was
put off in an open field, she CLAIMS.
''She sure did give me tongue
lashing," said Conductor Ruff on
the stand.
Indignant and enranged, Mrs.
Morris claims she had to walk to
Lindale, distance of two miles,
and from there catch train back
to Rome. She had a photograph
made of the pass and it was intro
duced in court. 1t bore the expi-
ration date of December 30, 1911.
"He talked to me like a dog"
she said, referring to the conduc-
tor.

South America
Prepares For The
Opening of Canal

Washington, Dec. 19.-Forsee-
ing a rapid increase in traffic on
the west coast of South America
on the completion of the Panama
canal, Shipping interests on that
side of the continent are ma king
elaborate preparations to command
it, according to report from
American Consul Alfred WinsIow
at VALPARAISO, Chile, made public
today by the bureau OF foreign
and domestic commerce. Valpa-
raiso alone, says the consul, is
making ready to spend $13, OOO,Oo
on its harbor. Several lines, many
of them now plying directly from
South American ports to European
points, will build vessels to care
for the western coast trat1c
through the canal, and, according
to Mr.. Winslow, are planning to
route their vessels by way OF New
York or possibly some more south
erly port in the United States.
The Chilean congress is consid'
ering Mr.. Wlnslow adds, "the
grant of subsidies for the establish
ment of lines to ply through the
canal"
A Chilean steamship corpora
ton has offered to put on a line
between Valparaiso and Europe
by way of Panama and New York
on a guaranty by the government
of six per cent return on the in
vestment. Congress, says the con-
sui probably will authorize the
grant.

WIDE WORK FOR COLLEGE

The University Of Colorado is estab
fishing correspondence courses that
can be taken by any ambitious young
man or woman anywhere in the state
and will lead to degrees that will be
just as good as those conferred on the
resident students. In addition its cor
respondence courses can be taken by
any person for the benefit TO be deriv
ed. even though they have no desire to
qualify for degree.
The application Of the idea is under the
direction Of Lorin d. Osborn, formerly
president of the Des Moines college
He believes that Colorado should take
cognizance Of the wide demands for
correspondence education. Mr.. Osborn
has already applied his ideas in Iowa.
Fifteen departments of the univer-
sity will give such courses. covering
the studies Of Latin, German. English.
physics, zoology, philosophy, sociology.
education, history, music. engineering.
mathematics and psychology. Study
centers will be organized at various
places that are easily reached by stu.
dents. Members of the faculty Will
travel about, giving lectures and hold
ing examinations. The study centers
will also be social centers. at which
the students can get some Of the uni
versity atmosphere and spirit.
The university is also organizing ar
information bureau for the benefit OF
all the people OF the state. To it car
be submitted all sorts Of questions, le
gal, commercial, literary, scientific ant
sociological and they will be answered
by the members Of the faculty. En-
enlargement will be given to debatin.

Lettina Animal Stand Idle Harms Him
Physically and lmpairs His Useful
nsss-How Young Ono Was Trained.

A Rhode Island correspondent or the
Rural New Yorker writes rs follows on
the subject Of putting the bull to work;
1t had always been my idea that a
bull should have some kind OF exercise
to keep him In good form for service
and also for his own good physically,
so | interested my herdsman. an ltal
ian, who is very kind with the cattle.
in the subject and told him that l wish
ed him to teach Misty, my one-year-
old Guernsey bull, to work few
days later we gave our young bull MS
first lesson in harness. We took one
of the extra single harnesses from the
horse barn and by taking up the straps
where It needed 1t we finally got the
harness to fit the bull first rate. We
used all Of the harness except the bri-
die. and in its place we used Il small
halter and snapped the rens to the
rings in the halter, which are on both
sides of the mouthpiece.
The first days work was simple and
easy. The young bull was first led
down the lane (one-fourth milo and
fencepost hitched to n whiiiietree.
Each day he was taught to do little
more work or go a longer distance.
and soon we left off leading him and
he learned to he guided by the reins

a few fenceposts. but now he Is larger,
stronger and understands more thor
oughly his work. so we let him pull the

also bring in fodder and food for the
twenty COWS in our herd. He almost
does the work Of m extra horse. and
when he Is older feel sure that he will
easily do the equivalent Of n horse. AT
present he does his work in a little two

from an old hay loader. but soon he
