How. High wa. .he Tower 81 sassYs

The actual height at which the last
stone of that famous structure, the
Tower of Babel, rested cannot, on ac-
count of the remoteness of the times at
which 1t is said to have existed, ever
become more than q matter Of merest
conjecture. Herodotus, who lived about
LOO years after that great spiral way
tempted, says that he saw at Babylon
2 structure consisting of eight towers
iaised one above another each 10 feet
In height, but whether this ruin was
the remains of the Tower Of Babel it
was even then impossible to ascertain.
Herodotus, usually minutely exact in
his writing, leaves us in ignorance as
to how the upper level of each of these
10 foot towers was reached from the
level below.
As might be expected, even in tradi-
ton. a wide difference of opinion exists
as to the height of the tower. Most ori-
entaiists maintain that God did not put
a stop to the work until the tower had
reached a height of 10000 fathoms, or
about u miles. In Ceylonese tradition
1t is said to have been as high as 10000
elephants, each standing one above the
other St. Jerome asserts on the au-
lhority Of persons who had examined
the ruins that it did not reach a height
exceeding four miles. Other state
ments are still more extravagant.

SPECIALITY FARMING.
Success II More n Matter of the Man
Than NJ soil or SurroundinES.

Success II More Matter OF the Man
Than of Soil or Surroundings.
The fact is that the ideal environ
ment for the ideal mixed husbandry is
found In sort OF middle condition Of
commerce and society. something be-
tween the frontier situation Of early
Kansas and the suburban situation of
modern New England. And, what Is
the important point, real mixed farm
Ing is the best farming only in such an
environment. AS one approaches ell
ther the pioneer condition or the subur-
ban condition the preference for spe-
cialty farming Increases.
There is one other point to be noted,
and that is that the eastern speciality
farming tends toward intensive cul-
ture, while the western type tends to-
ward extensive culture. The two types
are antipodal in their methods, of
course, but both are classed as spe-
cialty farming.
Now, as regards speciality farming,
particularly with the intensive special
ties Of New England, it is necessary to
understand that only certain men can
succeed in it. Any man can make liy-
ing on the farm. At least that is the
general belief, with a great deal Of evil
dence to support it. But the inefficient
farmer, whom you find everywhere,
always makes his living, such as 1t is,
by growing little Of everything.
1t takes a man Of some ability to
grow cranberries or ginseng or spring
broilers. an immense number of de-
tails have to be mastered, and failure
In any one Of them means bankruptcy.
The ordinary farmer never goes bank
rupt, but the speciality farmer might.
Competition in the specialties is less,
but it is of a different sort, and the
risks are always greater.
That branch Of agriculture which IN
terests me most is fruit growing. 1t
sometimes seems to me that it is the
simplest thing in the world to make
money out Of apples or plums or straw
berries. | often think that everybody
ought to grow fruit.
Yet every careful observation shows
me that not much more than one man
in a hundred can really make money
In fruit, no matter how favorable his
surroundings, and there are at least
nine farmers out Of ten who couldn't
grow plums with sheet of printed in
structions before them or with an ex-
pert oyerseer to give them daily direc-
tion. 1t is not in them. j. II. Hale has
made a distinguished success Of the
peach business. He has a number Of
imItators, all failures, some Of whom
have failed in the same soil, the same
climate and the same market where
Mr. Hale has succeeded.
So writes L. A. Waugh of Vermont In
Country Gentleman, summing up the
whole matter thus:
Success In speciality farming Is not
primarily a matter Of soil, situation or
surroundings, but OF the farmer"
