Speciality Farming.

Speciality farming means devoting
the larger part of the time to the
production of one crop. This crop
may be wheat, corn or cotton, and
there are large sections in this cOun-
try devoted almost wholly to one or
another of these crops. One years
failure of the special crop of any Of
these sections means inconvenience to
farmers, and failure for two or more
successive years leads to ruin. From
the orange groves OF Florida and the
cane lands of Louisiana to the wheat
fields OF North Dakota the spe-
cialty farmer is liable to work
without profit because of bar
rem years or low prices. II is
true that each section is better for
some one crop than for any other, and
It'll goodpol to devote coia.dera'
HE part of the time and the farm to
that crop. The good farmer will en-
deavor to learn which crop is the most
profitable, and that having been set
tied he will try to learn everything
that is to be known about that partic-
ular crop. At the same time he will
learn something concerning every 9TH
err crop which he can grow, in order
that he may diversity his productions
as much as possible.
Speciality farming is always destruc-
tive farming, MS it makes rotation OF
crops impossible, and draws constant
" on the fertility Of the soil without
permitting renovation except by the
direct application Of fertilizers, cost
" way of maintaining fertility, no
matter what is used for that purpose.
The farmer who plants variety of
crops, keeps sheep, cattle and hogs,
and takes care of everything, Is al
ways ready for any season or any pc
culiar condition of the markets. He
may not have any especial fat years,
but he will never have total loss 10
contend with, and on the whole will
have greater profits and fewer losses

BURLINGTON BROKE RECORDS.
Wonderful Runs of the New Fast HAL Train
In the Race Across the Continent.

The great railway race against time
across the continent in order to rush
the United States mail to the Pacific
coast is attracting great deal of at
tcntion at present.
Probably the most interest Is taken
In the efforts between the Burlington
and Northwestern roads to determine
which shall carry the mail between
Chicago and Omaha. The Burlington
now holds the contract which may In
time be valuable, and that road will
in all probability retain It II It makes
the schedule required by the govern
ment. That the Burlington can proba-
bly, do this is shown by Its remarkable
run, January 3, from Omaha to Chica-
60. All records between those cities
were broken. The mail on that date
was delivered by the Union Pacific
one hour and two minutes late. The
new schedule east of Omaha is an
hour faster than It used to be, and the
Burlington in order to reach Chicago
in time would have to beat the old
time two hours! In spite Of this de-
lay at the start the run was made In
less than schedule time, the train mr.
irving in Chicago station exactly on
time, making the run in hours and
% minutes. The distance from Coun-
Gil Bluffs to Chicago by the Burling-
ton Is 500 miles. The train covered
this distance, including stops, which
amounted to 30H minutes, in 500 min
utes. The actual running time ex-
GLIDING stops was 523h minutes.
The distance from Burlington to Chi
cago Is 206 miles. This was made
in 213 minutes, an average of con-
siderably over mile minute when
the stops aggregating 10 minutes are
considered. Between Mendoza and
Chicago portion of the run was made
Mt the rate of 90 miles per hour. Of
ficials claim the time can be cut still
further il necessary.
The initial run of the western mail
under the new schedule was also made
January 3, the train leaving Chicago
ten minutes late, or 9.25 p. M, and
reaching Omaha five minutes ahead of
time, or $50 n. III.
The runs of these trains are Of ma
tional Importance. The capture of the
Philippines, the annexation of Hawaii
and the development of the orient
point to a new world of commerce, in
which the United States is bound to
be an important factor. The inn
portance therefore of rapid mail SER
vice to the orient is manifest, and the
American railways are certainly doing
their full share in bringing the Allan
tic and Pacific coasts closer together.
