FLORIDA DAIRY FARMING.
c. D. Whitman Writes of the Differ enee. Between That and Fishers Is- land Conditions.

c. D. whitman, who recently gave up his superintendency of one of the Ferguson farms at Fishers Island. and, while retaining an interest with his son in the c. J. Newbury farm in Waterford has gone to a Florida dairy farm, recently wrote home:
 T am with a 125-cow dairy as su- perintendent. Mrs. Whitman and our grandson, Alfred Whitman Young, share my exile or sojourn.
 Milk is 15 cents quart and hard to get. The cows are grade Jersey and Guernsey and very good looking stock. Not very heavy milk is produced, be- cause feed is not as succulent or plenty as in New England. The ene- mics of the dairy are cattle ticks and Funny" water. Only coarse grass grows anywhere.
 This farm has ai silo and raises corn to fill 1t. Corn grows well; planted first of March on cleared pine land. We have big field of rye and oats sowed in October for winter for age. A big team of mules has been blowing field now for sowing soon. Two cracker boys have been digging sweet potatoes, The tops resemble hop vines more than anything I think of and are fed to the stock.
 Last night heavy frost covered the field. Nights seem as cool here as in November on Fishers Island"

Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

Another pleasing bill is that sched- uled for the first half of the week at the Auditorium, and although there are but two vaudeville acts, these make up in length and quality for the ab sence of a third number.

There is to be a recount of the bal lots cast for selectmen in Stonington to determine whether the six votes by which the republican, Henry Stahle, won out over his democrat opponent, J. w Chesebro, might not have been affected by the rejected ballots which MT. Chesebros attorneys claim were il- legally rejected and were enough to have elected him if properly allowed and counted.
 That the recount be taken was direct4 ed by Judge Milton W. Shumway of the superior court after the hearing of evidence here Monday afternoon in the suit brought by MT Chesebro, al- though MT. Stahle's attorneys argued against the need of a recount as he claimed that the petitioners had fail ed to make substantial showing of error in the original count.
 Six To Do The Counting.
 Judge Shumway assigned Attorney Rathbun and Attorney F. L. Mcclure. who was one of the petitioners counsel to make the recount, and allowed them to select two assistants each. MT. Rathbun chose Sheriff William H. Casey and Town Clerk Elias B. Hinck- ley of Stonington, who had come to court with the five ballot boxes of the town in custody. MT. Mcclure chose Byron J. Peckham and George R. McKenna to help him. They will make the recount this morning at 10 o'clock. Attorney Rathbun claim ed recount in all five districts al- though the specified instances of error claimed occurred in only three Attor- ney Hadlai Hull did not object to a full recount. Judge Shumway directed that the disputed ballots should be brought to him for decision and there would be opportunity for argument afterwards
 Hearing Began at Noon.
 The hearing began at noon. MT. Stahle who was elected received 651 votes and MT. Chesebro 645. Attorney Rathbun entered a demurrer for MT. Stahle, claiming that only Il ballots were rejected, 4 democrat and ' re- publican, and that not enough reason had been shown for opening the boxes in court. Of the disputed ballots there were two torn two not marked in the deslgnated space, two had curved marks and one a checked mark.
 Judge Shumway oVerruled the de- murrer and said he would hear the testimony before ordering the boxes opened.
 Ballot Soorched by Cigarette.
 MT. Mcclure called Patrick Fitzpat- rick and he told of aiding in the count ing of the ballots in the first district. There were six rejected ballots and all were not passed upon by all the count CTS. One ballot looked as though it had been scorched by a cigarette. There were 29 disputed ballots in all.
 Others to testify were William J. Gilmore, Charles H. Faley and Michael F. O'Connell, all counters, John F. Mo riarty and Joseph T. McGuinness, both registrars.
 The last named testified that there were 33 rejected ballots of which two ballots were torn. This closed the case for the petitioners.
 For the Defendant.
 Questioned by Attorney Rathbun, B. F. Williams testified to seeing one re- publican ballot that MT. Foley objected to and which had very light mark lower down than the circle. He had seen all the republican ballots cast at the Mystic election. but did not recall
