AFFAIRS OF the FARMERS.
The Board Of Agriculture w ant Farm
Ing Taught In School.
Especial to the Press.l

AUGUSTA, January 16.-The special CON-
mittee raised by the board of agriculture
last night. reported this morning recon-
mending that Secretary Gilbert be author
lied to represent the board before the valu a.
tion commission and also the tax commits
sioDers as often as may be necessary to i'm
press facts upon the members. This
was unanimously accepted. Following this
the subject Of education was presented by
Prof. Balentine and freely discussed the fol-
lowing resolution being adopted.
Resoleed, Ttat it is the belief of the State
board of agriculture that the principles Of agricul
ture should be introduced and taught in our COM
mon schools as soon as may be practicable.
The executive committee of the board and
the secretary were authorized to act in con-
nectiOn with the commission lately appoint
ed by the State Grange to further the inter-
ests of education by the introduction of text
books into our public schools treating of the
science of agriculture.
State appropriations for institute work, the
insufficiency of the amount now granted be-
ing freely commented on. The members
thought 1t only just that agriculture should
receive as much at the hands of the State as
many of the minor industries The board
evidently means business and willpush their
claims until the secretary receives salary
sufficient to command his entire time and en-
able him to largely increase the institute
work of the State.
The valuation commission held a lively
though informal session last evening. The
Cumberland county member criticised some
what sharply the position taken by Mr.. Gil
bert in his paper yesterday. This led to a
prompt reply and the members were treated
to an interesting discussion covering the ev-
ening and bringing out plainly the causes
leading to the present condition of affairs.
Definite action was taken looking to an
energetic campaign In behalf of an increased
appropriation and the assistance of all ag-
ricultural organizations In the State will be
enlisted. 1t looks as though the farmers
really mean business and If they do an
stand together they can surely succeed.
Final adjournment was reached this after
noon.

THE UNION PUT ON THE DEFENSIVE.
Manufacturers at haverhilI Shift the
Responsibility.

for Its Recognition.
state Arbitrators Summoned to
Take Part In the Game.

Boston, January 16.-The State Board of
Arbitration received this afternoon official
notice from the mayor of Haverhill Of The
strike and lockout in that city. The board
will reach Haverhill at II a. M. tomorrow, to
confer with the parties relative to a settle
ment.
HAyERHILL, January 16.-The mauufac-
turers, at their meeting this afternoon voted
to request J. Ii. Winchell & Co. to invite
their men to return to work with. the prom
Use that prices should be made satisfactory.
If the workmen return the trouble will end ;
if not the understanding is that the free fac
tory system will be inaugurated.
j. II. Winchell & CO. later published a
statement stating that in accordance with
the vote of the Associated Manufacturers,
passed today, they are ready at any time to
meet their workmen and talk with them. in
diyidually, concerning all disagreements in
matters of wages and work.
The invitation of j. FL Winchell & Co. to
their striking employees to return to work
seems to encourage everybody in the hope
that the worst is over. The difference be-
tween the manufacturers and the shoemak-
ers in the Union is not settled, but the invi-
tation changes the condition of affairs to
some extent The responsibility for contin-
uing the contest IS shifted from the Manu-
facturers' Association to the Union. If the
officials of that organization refuse to allow
the strikers to return to their benches. the
tide of public sympathy will be changed to
the side of the manufacturers. The majOri-
ty of the people will see that the Union can
afford to waive the matter of special recog-
milton by the manufacturers in order to start
business in the factories ahain. The Union
has now gained the object for which it said
it came to Haverhill, the stopping of further
cut downs. That the idle workmen feel an
interest in ending the contest is evident from
the eager manner in which they crowded
about the bulletins put out at the newspaper
offices this afternoon, announcing Winchell
meeting of the Union tonight, it was re
solved to endorse the action of III. G. Moul-
ton and stand firm for the recognition of the

Kimball Automatic Car heating
COMPANY.

1t is commendable feature in the manage
ment of our New England railroads that
whatever will contribute to the safety and
comfort of the travelling public is adopted
without delay and regardless Of expense.
The placing of the Kimball Automatic Car
Heating System upon passenger trains be-
tween Boston and Bangor is an Improvement
that will be thankfully recognized by all
who have been subjected to the irregular
heating of cars that have been, alternately,
too hot or too cold. The point gained by
this system has been to automatically regu-
late the supply of heat to the car as the case
required, and by the regulator in use the
temperature Of the car is kept practically
uniform, at all times, varying only two or
three degrees at the outside. 1t also has the
advantage of automatic action, not requir-
ing any attention from the conductor or
brakeman. AS Portland corporation they
are to. be congratulated upon the pronounced
success of their system over all others, and
the field that is open for very extensive
business in the heating Of cars.

The Ice Crop.

NEW YORK. January 1G Despite the re-

the city express confidence that they will be
able to harvest an adequate ice crop. The
companies did not begin to harvest their
crop last year until February IL, and there
had been ice-making weather for only a
week, but, nevert heless, a sufficient quanti-
ty was secured. An officer of the Knicker-
booker Company said yesterday: "We still
hope for sufficient winter weather to enable
us to gather crop from our own waters in
this State; but If this supply should fail us,
we have made arrangements with contract
ors in Maine, Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
vania for ice to be shipped either directly to
this city or to our houses up the river. We
have also made arrangements to procure a
supply of ice from Lake Champlain and
from points in Canada. Consumers of ice
in small quantities may nave to pay more
for their supplies next summer If it has to
be shipped from far distant points, but |
have no doubt that the quantity will be am
