FARMERS CONVENTIONS.
ONE OF cONNECTICUT'S MOST ASTUTE
AND BEST POSTED FARMERS PRAISES
THE BEES EDITORIAL.

The editor of The BEE makes some
most excellent suggestions to the new
secretary of The State Board of Agri
culture, that ought to get into the
hands of every member Of the board
Iquestion whether a change in the per
SOnel of set speakers would be as ben
eticial as the dropping out of lot OF
in meetings of the Board of Agricul.
ture for more than 80 years and know
something of the changes that have
taken place.
In 1869 the convention, held at Mid
dletOwn, was opened by discussion of
poultry raising on the evening of De-
cember II, and was continued the
three following days. During these
three days there were but three lee
lures.
There were several communications
read by the secretary upon the sub
jects to he considered by the conven-
ton, which were in those days fixed
lpon year in advance. One of these,
upon the subject of breeding horses,
was read at the opening session on the
second full-day and, while it occupies
out little more than three pages of the
report it opened the way for II pages
of discussion, when the convention ad-
ourned for dinner to take it up later

If Washington, Albert Day of Brook
Ign, B. B. Plumb of Trumbull, J. NJ.
Hubbard of Mfddletown, George G.

| If the three lectures that were given
md the discussion that followed them
fl,o
| 1859 is the most valuable one ever pub
Iished by the board, and is hard to get
It any price.
OF the 10 addresses, aside from the
opening prayer, address of welcome by
Mayor Mulvihill and response and in
troductOry by Gov Mclean, to be
heard at Bridgeport, it is very unlikely
that any but Bridgeport papers will
publish a stick full, and the time for
discussion will be so limited that it
will amount to nothing.
While some of the lectures will be
interesting to listen to-, doubt wheth-
err many farmers will attend for the
purpose Of listening to anything about
the Connecticut Agricultural college
n forestry. The college has been
pretty well advertised during the past
ear, and the forests of Connecticut
are abundant and increasing from
natural causes.
Col James Woods address on "The
farmer as a citizen" is good one I'M
e!'S he has changed it since last year.
In order to listen to the practical
mrtS of the lectures one must stay in
bridgeport for the three days OF the
convention, as the two best things on
the program will probably be Highway
Commissioner MacdOnald's address on
good roads at ll.3O a. M, on the first
day, and Mrs Alice Freeman Palmer's
THE Education of Books and Nature"
at the closing evening session. The
first days proceedings will probably
interest the farmers more than any
other single day, although there are
interesting subjects interspersed all
through.
If The BEE can coax the State
Board Of Agriculture to bark back, and
take up what was valuable in the man
agement of meetings in years back, it
will, l imagine, add to the popular
| interest.-[R. S. Human.

ate, where the people, and all the peo-
pie, may be fully and equitably repre-
sented by those whom they have chosen
by their own votes, to these positions
and that it is by no means necessary
that the other branch of the leglsla-
ture, 1.-THE House of Representatives

WORD FROM LONGTIME FRIEND.
The BEES readers will recall an
article copied in The BEE from the
New Haven Leader entitled, ''Six
Months in Florida, by Rev J. P. HOyt
OF St Petersburg, Fla, giving his ex-
periences for that time and an estimate
of the state and climate, the pros and
cons Of Florida life. In recent letter,
enclosing a subscription for The BEE,
which he has taken for 25 years from
the first number, he Says that favor
able impressions are confirmed by a
longer residence. The entire summer
was delightful, with no such heat as
at the North, and in November and
December the weather was often like
June at the North, roses and flowers
blooming in the gardens. A little fire
in the open fireplaceS is, however,
sometimes welcome in winter, especial
ly after sunset. On Thanksgiving day
Rev Mr. Hoyt and his family were in
vited by his parishioners to be their
guests at a dinner, on the bluff over
looking beautiful Tampa Bay, in the
open air.
Tourists from all parts of the coun-
try are now coming to St Petersburg,
to enjoy the mild climate and excep-
tlOnal advantages or the place and to
see the orange groves, which now are
loaded with their golden fruit. The
Congregational church, of which Mr.
Hoyt is pastor, has received so men,
bers since April; the church editice
has been moved and repaired and a
new parsonage, with every convenience.
erected. Room has been left on the
finely located church lots for new
and larger church., which may soon be
demanded by the growth of the church
and city. Two trolley lines are pro-
jected, one around the bay to Tampa
and one across the ''sub-peninsula" to
the Gulf. Mr. Hoyt sends greeting to
all his friends and former neighbors in
NeWtoWn and Fairfield county, and
invites any of our readers who may
visit Florida this winter to Call upon
him.

been engaged for the occasion, and during

dent, Frank j. Wissner Treasurer, W. G..
Kellogg; Financial Recording Secretary,
Louis B. DuFief Corresponding Secretary,
John NJ. Allen; Superintendent, A. l..

show the objects OF the association are to
encourage the raising and breeding of thor
oughbred stock and the diffusion of knowl-
edge concerning the same.
Facilities for cooping 800 exhibits are
possessed by the association, though the
number of poultry, pigeons, hares and pet
stock to be exhibited will be kept down to
1000 coops, admitting only the best spe
cimens for exhibition purposes. 1t is likely
that 800 fowls, including breeding pens, will
be shown; about 800 pigeons and the same
number OF Belgian hares, including families

The wheat harvest is over in this section.
With the extreme heat of the last few weeks,
1t has been a laborious task for men and
horses. Some Of the farmers cut most of
their wheat by moonlight, although the
nights were hot the burning sun was not in
the sky to add TO the discomfort Of the oc.
casion. Several horses succumbed to the
heat. Mr.. Chswell, near Seneca, lost one
OF his best horses, Mr.. Jacob Miller one, and
Mr.. VIM. Dawson valuable colt.
The fourth was spent very quietly in our
village. The crowd in the afternoon was
very large. A number of persons from the
surrounding country assembled to witness
the base ball game between the Jamestown
and Rockville mines, but before the game
commenced ar ominous mutter OF thunder,
very black, menacing cloud and a cloud
OF dust coming down the road warned all to
seek refuge. There was hasty skurrying
of people, aud horses and vehicles, and in a
few moments the field was deserted, and all
the hospitable homes In Jamestown were
filled with guests The rain was soon over
and every one wendell their way back to
the field, but the grass was wet and slippery
and the game was not finished, but will be
resumed at the first favorable opportunity.
