Most Peculiar Wreck in Railroading History.

(Continued from, rage One)

was running four hours late, and in making up time, was passing through town at a high fate of speed, and was derailed by a broken switch. A mail sack, thrown from the first mail car in the train, struck the handle of the switch stand, breaking the same off squarely at the shoulder. This left the switch without a lock,, and the same gradually opened as the train passed over. The cause of the wreck is one, of the most peculiar in the history oi railroading, and probably never happened before nor will it ever happen again.

'rhe engine and tender, mail car and baggage car and combination iuiggage and smoker, passed safely over before the switch opened. The front trucks of the day r coach were the first to leave the rails, and continued on up the main track, followed by the first ' Pullman. The econd Pullman, the ‘Dougett,’ left the main track and followed the siding for some distance, when it was turned upon its side. This car was also followed by the remaining three Pullman cars, and continued down the siding for a distance of over Joo feet, through railroad ties telephone poles and dirt before it came to a stop. “In leaving the main track, the front end of the Pullman ‘San Ardo struck a telegraph pole, which was cut squarely off and entered the car length-wise and extended through the entire car. That there is not a long list of dead is surely an act of Providence as it is not in the memory of railroad men when such a wreck occurred that there was not a long list of dead. One reason for this is probably due to the fact that the tram was carrying the lightest load it had carried for months, ’Physicians were promptly summoned and many of the town’s people rushed to the scene of the accident, and every possible aid was given the injured.

Dr. Hidings, the company’s surgeon, and Dr. Peterson were at the scene of the wreck within a few minutes after the accident, and medical attention was given the injured passengers. Miss Leia McNay a nurse, also rendered much valuable assistance to the injured. “Those who were injured were all ab e to leave on the first train -out with the exception of R. E. Parkinson, who left on No. 6 in the afternoon. He was injured most and for a time it looked as though he might not survive, being an old man nm i Wa v seem ingly recovering nicely when he left. 6 “There were several eye witnesses to the accident, and thv all tell us that it was almost impossible to see anything for <the dust and dirt that was flying, and after it was all over' they ran to the scene, expecting to find scores of dead people. ’ Sto

Highly Profitable Farms.

Farm management surveys are now being conducted in a good many localities in this country. In nearly all of them it has been found that from 2 to 5 per cent of the farmers are making very handsome incomes. A study of these highly profitable farms with a view to finding wherein they differ from ordinary farms brings out some very interesting relations. The farms may be divided into three classes. One class consists of highly specialized farms, where the farming is not only of the most 'intensive character but is of large magnitude. Highly successful farms o. this class are found only in those ■localities tiiat i : nc*ce;-s distinct al- - jti the matter of markets I'." perishable farm products or very distinct advantages in the matter of soil and climate. Another class consists of farms producing products of exceptional quality. They are mainly farms on which very high-priced live stock are produced. These farms are scattered more or jjess throughout the country and are not numerous anywhere. There is, in fact, not room for a large number of such farms in any section. Ihe third class consists of farms that are organized on the basis of standard field crops and the ordinary types of live-stock farming, but which are both very large and very well managed, it is this latter class of farms which appears most commonlj in the middle west, where there is not room for very many highly specialized farm*. In New England fruit and truck farms, as well as farms devoted to the production of the highest class of breeding stock, stand out very prominently amongst the highly profitable farms.

While the highly specialized farm represents the possibility of great profit, it frequently also represents the possibility of heavy losses on account of the tremendous fluctuation in production, and consequently in prices, of the products of intensive farming. r n the greater portion of the country the great mass of farmers must gain their livelihood from the ordinary field crops and the common types of live stock. The surveys clearly demonstrate the fact that in general farming the size of the farm is a very important factor. The farm should be large enough to give the working force available to the farmer a maximum of productive labor throughout the year. ’ 1
