Mr.. Richardson presented an interest
ing paper on MIXED farming" not ven
turing far beyond his own experience
and practice. He said mixed farming
used to be more in vogue than now,
when everything is tending tc special
ties, and questions if it would not have
been better for us to continue more in
this line instead of depending so much
on one or two lines exclusively.
AT the afternoon session George M.
Whitaker of the New England Farmer
and the Massachusetts Dairy Bureau,
spoke of the market price of butter, and
said dairy butter took both highest and
lowest prices, while creamery butter took
the large middle field. Fancy butter
was in so small supply as to be quickly
taken, and it does not enter into mar
ket reports
His real subject was Composition of
milk and it's food value" He spoke of
the elements of food in its general sense
and the chief elements of food as nitro
genous or flesh forming food, and car
bonaceous or heat forming elements.

CAUSE FOR REVOLUTION.
Low Prices Of Coffee and silver Threaten
Salvador.


New York March 3.-"The low price
of coffee, and also of silver, may cause
a revolution in the republic of Salvador
soon," said Charles Gray Of Blooming
ton Ills, who has been living in that
country for the last two years, andvwho
arrived here today on the steamship AL
Iianca from Colon.
Coffee in Salvador is selling for IA
pesas per one hundred, where formerly
it brought 80 pesas. This is owing to
over-production and to the increase in
the brazilian output The legislation
aimed against silver has sent the price
of that metal down, and Salvador, be-
ing a. silver using country, feels the de-
monetization keenly. For all their I'M
ports the Salvadorians must pay heav-
lily, while they are getting little for
their coffee.
"This condition they ascribe to their
existing government. They blame Pres
ident Guiteras great deal. Guiteras
is honest, but weak, and there are NUT
tered threats of overthrowing.
