OUR NEW ISLAND POSSESSIONS

The proposition to add millions OF

their Phil Of them.
With more or less fighting going on
in many of the Philippines. we can
hardly speak of them as our Pacific

No doubt our newly acquired breth-

come to get closer together our canni-
balstic friends may become very fond
of us.
As yet there are conflicting reports

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 a 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 10 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
itiseood policy 10 devote a consdera-
bic part of the time and the farm to
that crop. The good farmer will en-
leavor to learn which crop is the most
profitable. and that having been set
tied he will try to learn everything
that is 10 be known about that partic-
ular crop. NJ the same time he will
learn something concerning every 9TH
or crop which he can grow. m order
that he may diversity his productions
as much as possible.
Speciality farming is always destruc-
tive farming. as it makes rotation or
crops impossible and draws constant

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

The great railway race against time

the United States mail TO the Pacific
coast is attracting a great deal of at

Probably the most interest Is taken

was delivered by the Union Pacific
one hour and two minutes late. The
new schedule east of Omaha is an

amounted to 39N minutes. in 5G3 min

The distance from burlington to Chi

in 2l3 minutes, an average Of con-
siderably over mile q minute when
the stops aggrcgatng ~ minutes are
considered. Between Mendoza and
Chicago a port on Of the run was made
at the rate Of 80 miles per hour. on

The initial run of the western mail
