dents and residents OF the town hav-

strange to an old duffer on the farm
that there are disappointments and
wrecks along the way made SO plain,
SO easy, so inviting by these repre-
sensations?
Farming Is a business Science Is
greatly aiding 1t through the instru-
mentalities named, but farm can no
more be successfully run on a knowl-
edge alone of the sciences involved
than could a cotton mill without a
superintendent A knowledge OF the
business management of farming Is
quite as important as q knowledge OF
the sciences involved. No farm can
be made successful enterprise with
out careful and intelligent manage
ment of its business relations. Sci
entific knowledge does not include all
requirements necessary to success In
carrying on a farm.
lust at this point our schools OF
agriculture are defective. 1t is diff
ficult want to meet In the schools, but
could measurably be supplied by a
course in Business Farming. Students
we'll schooled in How Crops Grow"
and How Crops Feed" go out from
the schools to the farm and find
themselves handicapped from lack of
a knowledge of the farm management
as concentrated into business. In
such case the best course is to take
a post graduate training for couple
of years with a farmer who is carry
ing on his farm in successful man
ner. Nowhere can farm management
be so profitably studied as on the
farm where it Is being carried out.

PITTSrIELD.

Pittsfield Grange met Saturday
morning, January 7. for the purpose
of installing the officers for the year
1910. The installing officer, Mrs. Kate
Ellis OF Fairfield. arrived on the 1880
train but we were very much disap-
pointed that our speaker for the af-
ternoon, w. J. Thompson. failed to
put in an appearance or even send
us word of explanation. However
the morning was fine and over two
hundred Patrons had assembled to
witness the ceremony and listen to
the speaking and were not easily dis
heartened. After song by the choir
Sister Ellis read an interesting pa
per on Corporation" after which
remarks for the good of the order
were made by several OF the visiting
members from Newport, Palmyra and
st. Adams. A recess for dinner was
then declared. The tables were we'll
prepared with plenty of the good
things the Patrons know so we'll how
to prepare and over two hundred and
fifty Patrons sat down to partake of
them. After the meeting was called
to order at 100 p. M, Sister Ellis, in
behalf of the Patrons of Pittsfield
Grange presented Sister Edith Phin-
ney with a beautiful plush rocker as
Ill <A1 - hni q
her services as secretary for the past
six years. The gift came as a COM
plete surprise to Sister Phinney but
she rose to the occasion and ex-
pressed her thanks.
At the installation every ofiicer-elect
was present and responded to his or
her name. The work was done in a
very efficient and interesting manner.
The installing officer was assisted by
Sister Annie M. Frost and Brother
Everett Libby of Pittsfield Grange. AT
the close of the ceremony rising vote
of thanks was extended to Sister Ell
lis for her work which was performed
In such a creditable manner. Brother
Hatch of Clinton then gave an interest
ing talk on fruit culture in Califor-
MIA. Brother Ivan Felker followed
with his observations in fruit raising
in British Columbia. Brother Everett
Libby expressed the opinion that bet
ter fruit could be raised in Maine
than in any other State in the Union
provided that as much care was given
to our trees which seemed to be the
general opinion of those present.
Brother Deering Of Newport thought
We were raising too many potatoes
and lively discussion followed.
Brother Slipp, our newly elected over
seer thought the crying need Of the
farmers Of Pittsfleld was a store
house for potatoes during lull In
the market as at the present time.
Brother Tracy of st. Adams spoke a
good word for the farmers of Maine
by stating that he was employed as
collecting agent for Arm dealing In
farm implements and in his territory
of three New England states he found
the farmers of Maine by far the east
est to collect from. Music was fur
nished by the Grange choir through
out the day, and all left for their
homes with the feeling that this
meeting had been profitable.

GEN. ESTRADA
IS DETERMINED
WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MADRiZ
AS PRESIDENT AND is CON-
TINUiNG PREPARATIONS FOR
A CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE
CAPITAL.
BY Associated Press.


Bluefields, Mic, Dec. 31.-General
Estrada remains firm in his deter
mination not to recognize the presi-
dency of Madriz. He holds that the
election of the latter by congress was
Illegal and that the people of Mica
ragua have not spoken. He has re-
fused the offers of peace through
compromise from Managua, and is
continuing his preparations for cam
paign against the capital.
Today the proposed attack on Grey
town is under discussion.
General Mena has arrived at Chile,
after capturing a number of the gov
eminent soldiers and a supply of
ammunition. The prisoners, with
their supplies, were on their way to
reinforce General Gonzales when the
battle of Recreo was fought. The re-
cent representations by Madriz are
viewed here as intended to delay the
eastward march of the insurgents. If
Madriz had this purpose it has been
frustrated. On December % Madriz
apprised Estrada of the formers as
sumption of the presidency under an
act of congress. He requested that
the insurgent commander suspend
hostilities, pending the arrival of COM
missioners appointed at Managua to
seek a way to permanent peace.

Five breweries and Al distilleries
are closed up. Probably a dozen of
these plants have the capacity for

one hundred barrels Of liquid daily, but
the great majority of them are housed
in ramshackle buildings that are more
of a barn than a house and have a
capacity of from one to a half dozen

Santa Rosa's Model
Farms at Hand.

The Santa Rosa Stars agricultural
sclool and demonstration farm-we
generally mean to credit this effort,
now nearing success, TO the newspaper
which has taken personal charge OF
promoting it's only few weeks
awav. so far as the money to start
them is concerned. At this writing
there is in the pocket of Editor Allen
the very satisfactory and assuring sum
of s1525-more than rs per cent of the
$1,000 required and an amount which
some of the Doubling Thomases in
Milton and other parts of Santa Rosa
had predicted would never be in hand.
AS we understand it, the promoters
of the school and the farm have
always felt sanguine that $1,000, not
s1525. would be enough to start the
wheels of the agricultural school and
the demonstration farm, especially IN
view of the fact that 30 acres of the
best soil in Santa Rosa are to be do
mated by a Santa Rosa man whose
ground if not his money is to show his
interest in this practical movement for
the betterment of farming conditions
in this adjacent county.
The public-spirited men of Santa
Rosa deserve all the credit they are
getting. both at home and in the edi-
torial columns of some of the most
thoughtful papers in Florida. Business
men, lawyers, one or two other profess
sional men and bank have put their
500 checks into the fund and Santa
Rosa will shortly be in position to
shame some larger and richer counties
that have not had the spirit to raise
money for the proposition that has
worked out so beneficially in a mum
Der of Georgia and Alabama counties
and which has borne fruit on a large
scale over in Duval.
The probability is that another fort
night will see the full $4,000 in hand
and that Feb: will mark the engage
ment of the farm instructor and the
commencement of real study On the
part of progressive Santa Rosa farm
ers who long to get out of the rut and
that right speedily. We do not blame
the Star for waxing little bit enthu
siastic over the success of the part it
has played in the essential task OF
money-raising. 1t predicts:
With the beginning of the new year
the movement will be pushed to an
early completion, and we hope to be
able to chronicle next week that the
sum originally suggested ($2000.00) has
been subscribed and arrangements
made for the Inauguration of this great
work,

We doubt very much if the candi
dates for senator found any more &C
ceptable present in the Christmas
stockings than the announcement OF
the retirment of Hon. w. A Blount
from the race for that position.
Many of the political wiseacres are
making guesses more or less wild as
to the cause of this sudden change OF
plans, but for our part we are quite
willing to accept Mr.. Blount's eXplana
ton as the true one
Were he man of different charac
ter we might be willing to believe
that there was some sort of a deal on
by which he was eliminated either OF
his own volition or by force of politi
cal circumstances, but We have toe
high regard for Mr.. Blount. the can
didate for senator, for reasons which
we have limited at before, we could
hardly have given very cordial sup
port, but for Mr.. Dtount, the man and

Judge William j. Gaynor, long of
note on the bench in Manhattan and
Brooklyn, today becomes Mayor Gay
nor. He was chosen to the greatest
municipal office in North America by
the decisive majority of 10000, though
all the rest of the Tammany ticket
was beaten at the polls In November.
There is cut out for the new mayor a
trying, uphill struggle, brought about
principally by the fact that the board
OF estimate and apportionment, which
makes up the budgets for all the city
departments, is against the man in the
city hall and the only chance for the
mayor to put in operation any of his
promised plans for more efficient ana

strength OF a personality which has

party for governor of New York in
1910, and one term at Albany would
make Gov. Gaynor formidable for the
presidential nomination two years
later on. The new mayor of New
York is more widely known as a Judge
than any man from the bench now
holding high office in the East and his
mayoralty career will be keenly
watched this year.

1910 will beat out even this wonderful
showing of 1909. The finest harbor

The Florida teachers are coming TO
Pensacola next year for their annual
convention. That was decided yester-
day at DeLand, where the states
pedagogues were generously enter
tanned this week and with whose hos
pitality they were all of them decid-
eddy delighted. Supt. Cook worked
hard for Pensacola and the letter of
invitation from Mayor Reilly, OF
course. helped out considerably. The
Journal some days ago expressed Pen
sacola's desire for the teachers anu
pointed out, among other things, the
hotel advantages that the Deep Water
City in 1910 could offer. Pensacola
will entertain the men and women who
teach the young idea how to shoot as
well as they would be entertained any
where, and we believe they will leave
us with the disposition to come back
some time and try the thing over.
The reputation of Pensacola as a host
is sufficient justification of this pre-.
diction.
