GALL FOR A WOMAN SUFFRAGE
CONVENTION.

At a meeting of the Multnonlah
County Woman Suffrage Association,
held on the 18th of January, 1873, 1t was
decided TO call mass meeting of the
friends of Womsn Suffrage in the State
of Oregon and Territory of Washington,
TO be held in Portland on the l4th and
18th DAYS and evenings of February,
1873. The object of this Convention is
to organize a State Society, that there
NAV be more united action and influ-
ence in the work. Now is the time for
firm, persistent, energetic action, and
we earnestly urge the friends to make
an effort to be present and participate
in the deliberations. We wish to organ
ize a permanent State Society, to meet
once in each year, and we also urge the
formation Of auxiliary County Societies,
to meet whenever they may choose.
Eminent speakers and essayists from
all parts of the State and Territory are
expected to be present and take part
in the debate.
The California State Suffrage Society
is invited to cooperate.
Delegates, or those willing to officiate
as such, are requested to forward their
at once to the NEW NORTH
WEST for attachment to this call.

SENSIBLE GIRLs.-The girls in the
first class of the High School in Port
land, Maine, between thirty and forty
in number, have agreed, with only two
exceptions, to adopt for a school dress a
plain, substantial, and not expensive
material. Overskirts, laees and velvets
are to be wholly discarded, and ribbons
used only to a limited extent. No
jewelry except plain pin, and one plain
ring Is to be worn. The girls agree TO
wear no other costume to school be-
tween this time and their graduations
next June. Many pupils in the lower
classes are following their example, and
it is hoped that it may become quite
general in the school. Among the
things discarded, slang talk may be
mentioned, which they agree 10 drop en-
tirely.

Remedy for Corna,


When young man, says q cores
poadent of the Country Gentleman,
used TO be very much annoyed by those
painful excrescenccs called "corns,"
ON the toes and feet, until / was told
of very simple but efiectual remedy
for them by some person. IL was to
batbe the feet in tepid water, TO soften
Them then pare them off very closely
with sharp knife then rub on well
green peach tree leaves; when, after
continuing the rubbing once or twice
day, the corns will entirely disap.
pear and not return without the cause
which first oecasioned them. i have
often tried the remedy, and never yet
found IL to fail 1t seems to be the
prussic acid in tho peach tree leaves
that takes them away.
A good corn salve could no doubt
be made for winter use, by bruising
the peach leaves when green, then boil
them in water until the strength is
extracted; then take out the leaves,
strain the water off the sediment, and
add sufficient quantity of resin, tai
low and beeswax, and simmer down,
without burning, until tho water is
evaporated. Soften and pare the corn,
as before directed, spread it on a small
piece of cambric or linen and apply,
putting on the sock or stocking care
fully, SO as not 10 rub il Of. Keep
applying until the corn disappears.

THE BEST is THE CHEAPEST. 1t is q
mistake to use low priced oil on now
ing machines, or other farm imple.
ments. lftbc amount to DO expended
in oil is limited, il is much better to
use il all in the purchase of the best
oil, and then use the latter in much
smaller quantities. Ifproperly used,
a very small amount is much better
than too much which often gets under
The boxes and loosans them. In this
connection wo observe that we do NOT
find any more economical grease for
gears than pure meats foot oil, al.
though it is becoming more difficult TO
obtain each year. A cheaper article
of oil may bo obtained, and leather
when CREASED with il will look quite
as well for short time as if greased
with meats foot oil, but the latter will
wear much longer. Like many other
things purchased by tho farmer, the
higher priced is really tho cheapest in
the end.

FENCE PosTs.--In looking oser the
Western Rural, we note as important
to us here, the following, how cor
respondent discovered many years
ago that wood could be made TO last
longor thaniron in the ground, but ina
gined the process so simple and mex
pensve that il was not worth while
making any stir about it: ] would as
soon have poplar, Eastwood or quaking
ash as any other kind of timber for
fence posts. | have taken out bass
wood posts after having been set seven
years that were as sound when taken
up as when they were put in the
ground. Time and weather seemed
to have no effect whatever on them.
The posts can be prepared for less
than two cents apiece. For the ben
oft OF others will give the recipe !:
Take boiled linseed oil and stir in IT
pulyerizcd charcoal to the consistency
of paint, put a coat Of this over the
timber and there is not a man will liye
to see them rotten.

AN IMPORTANT HINT.-All farmers
are well aware that the knife. bars Of
their mowers are liable to sudden and
repeated breakage after the machine
has been run a few years. These
breaks are usually exactly similar TO
those which might have been expected
from q bar OF cast iron, although il is
well known that only the best wrought
iron is used for knifc-bar The same
trouble is found in car axles, and in
this case is attributed TO tho constant
jar of the wheels over an uneven track
We imagine that the brcakage of now
er knives is due TO the wear in tho
hole in the end at which they connect
with the pitman rod of the machine.
If this rod fits closely, thore is no jar
at each reverse OF the motion, but II
there is motion Of but one-sixtccnth
of an inch, IL will soon convert the
knife back into steel, and II will then
continue TO break until tho connection
is made 10 81 well.

Farmers VS.. Monopolists.

+
The order of the "Patrons of Hus-
bandry, "or Farmers Grange" seems
TO be the leading sensation of the day,
apart from the Modocs. Its rapid in
crease 10 numbers and influence, and
its probable bearings upon political
matters, have excited considerable in
terest. The idea, says an exchange,
was originally borrowed from an as
ISOLATION which has existed for many
years in community of Scotch farm
ers in North Carolina, which had for
its objects the purchase of all needed
supplies from first hands, and at whole
sale rates, and the cultivation Of more
intimate social relations among its
members. This Western movement
embraces in Iowa, alone, over one
hundred thousand voters, an equal
number in Illinois, and in other States
powerful element of strength
There is, however, n persistent effort
on the part of railway officials, rail
way lawyers, and great many parti-
san politicians, TO make the people
believe that the present movement on
the part of the producers of the West
is ephcmeral, and will be utterly bar
ren of results. Tho Prairie Farmer,
which is good authority, declares that
in this they make terrible mistake,
which may lead them 10 adhere TO
abusive practices that will raise q des-
troying hand against them. He who
designates the late anti-monopoly
meeting of farmers as "mobs," or rdi-
cules' them as irresponsible "town
meetings, us either willful and wick
ed enemy of the largest and most i'm
portant class of Western citizens, or
dolt of moDstrous and inexcusable
stupidity. For railway companies to
attempt to intimidate the people, to
control coarts and legislatures, 70 up,
hold past iniquities Of theft and plum
der,and to scheme TO continue them is
but to make moro sure, deserved and
terrible the day Of retribntion. The
people recognize and gladly ackuowl.
edge the necessity Of railway commu-
ilication. Tho most radical speakers
in meetings whore the greatest excite
nent has prevailed have never uttered
word against aught save abuses and
expressions, There oxists simply nm
answering determination that there
shall be justice and honesty in the man
agement of railway companies, to the
end that they may become tho great
est blessing TO the country. The will
to bring about this reform most GER
tainly exists; the way will just as
surely be found What the farmers
desire is that this way may be speedy
and peaceful. Truly, this is grand
army. The leading principles of the
Farmers Grange are "eternal and
unflinching opposition to monopoly
abuses, extravagant appropriations OF
the peoples money, and to all salary
steals" Thatis very good platform,
as far as it goes and Il has a strong
party to back it.
