Are East.nound Rates saIidY

The excellent east bound business the Nickel
plate line Is doing out Of here and from this sec
ton is exciting suspicion, and it IS charged.that
the agent who in railroad parlance. is accounted
as slick one has not yet learned that rates
have been advanced. The allegation may ema
nate, however, with jealous competitor. The
rumor also comes from Chicago that
property is still carried at the
old rates. Under the rules of the
joint executive committee, all the special rates
should have been cancelled and che old business
disposed of by last Saturday. But much of the
old business is claimed to be still in transit, and
few Of the Chicago roads have concluded their
special rates. The fact, however that the In
dianapols and Chicago roads, which just now
are doing the bulk Of business, are emphatic in
the declaration that the new rates are rigidly
maintained by all the roads, while the roads
that do but little emphatically declare that the
rates are not maintained, and that special rates
have not been Cancelled as ordered, is rather a
suspicious circumstance.

A RuIe which should Be More Rlgfaly
Enforced.

In commenting on the death Of Frank Hays
short time since, as the result of falling from
the platform Of a train on the Boston & Albany,
the Railroad Commissioner Of Massachusetts say:
This said death seems to give an occasion for
calling the attention of all railroad managers in
the State to the too general practice Of allowing
passengers to occupy dangerous positions on the
platforms of steam cars. 1t is true that an iron
plate on each car gives notice that this is not
allowed BUTT is equally true that, while in
toxicated persons and young persons are warned
and prevented from remaining other passengers
are habitually allowed to ride in places which
are declared by this very notice to be dangerous
Regulations forbidding thispractice would, if en-
forced, save many casualties. We are aware
that such rules would cause some discomfort
Few personal rights are more tenaciously cher
ished than the supposed rights of risking limb
and life by walking on railroad tracks or by
riding on car platforms. One practice is for
hidden by law, the other should be prevented by
regulation, For it has often been held that it IS
not only the right, but the duty of common
carriers to make and enforce all such rules as
are necessary for the safety Of their passengers.
Numerous cases of accident and death show that
the enforcement of this rule is necessary

Legislation Against Baggage smashers.


The New York Legislature at it's last session
seems to have been the most vigorously reforma-
tory body that has ever been seen in legislative
halls. Many of its measures have been duly
commented upon; but one has escaped notice un-
til recently. It is now learned that a bill was
passed making the destruction of trunks, boxes
yalises or packages by the railway baggage
fends misdemeanor, with penalty of 500 for
each ohense. As the law makes the railway
which employs the baggage smasher. responsible
for his havoc, travellers may rest in peace while
their Saratogas and hat-boxes are in transit

the cars to the platform as if they were a new

Variety In Farming.

It is the idea of many that any one
can learn to farm. Rut as there are so
many branches of farming any one of
which will require years Of steady and
close application to master by the best
minds, it is deemed advisable for all
farmers to avoid undertaking too many
things. There are Some vegetables.
grains and fruits which have been raised
SO long and are SO well understood
that their production does not require
so much study and can be used profit
ably in making up variety on the
farm. And yet, these simplest things
require active minds and close attention
to business to produce profitably, and
great care and thought to sell to ad-
vantage.
But there are many things which re-
quire the undivided attention and study
of the most active minds. 1t will not
often prove success If any man at
tempts to carry on two or more OF them
at the same time. And while we would
advise variety in farming. the diversity
should be so selected that this one great
division shall not be neglected by the
care and absorbing attention of others.
The successful farmer is most gener-
ally a specialist. 1t is not safe for a
man to attempt to raise cattle, horses,
hogs and sheep for breeding purposes,
at the same time keep a large number
of cows and run an extensive dairy, OF
raise cane and have q sugar mill, or 60
extensively into grain or raise hogs fol
pork. This would be spreading toe
wide, and many, if not all the enter.
prises will suffer neglect One mans
capacity is not sufficient for all these
complicated branches of industry. Bet
ter way is for q man to make himself
q specialists success in one branch
Conquer it thoroughly. Nearly al
men who have made themselves emf.
nent in the world have devoted Their
lives to one branch of study or indus
try. There is scarcely branch o.
farm work but is full enough for ont
mind, if fully mastered and made sue
cess. And this is especially the cas-
with most of the new branches of farm
| ing which have been introduced within
| the last fifty years. If you will lool
around it will be seen that previous t.
that time it was not expected or re
quired that farmer should be maj
Of hard study as well as hard work
! But the new enterprises and plans o.
farming require the fullest exercise o
both of these powers Of man to keel
abreast of the push and energy of tn
agricultural and commercial world
both of which are now required to b
