New York State Dnirymen's Associa-
tton,

The New York state dairymen's all
nua convention will be held in Herki-
mer, n. Y, on Dec. 1915. This Is one
OF the strongest agricultural organiza-
tions in the Empire State, and its aim
IS educational in every particular. It
is self sustaining, although It receives
no state appropriation. Among the
speakers will be Ex-Governor Hoard
of Wisconsin. DR.. w. II. Jordan of
Geneva experiment station, Professor
Pearson OF Cornell and DR.. Hills Of
Vermont, and several others will be in
vited. 1t has been decided to elimi-
nate the exhibition of dairy appliances
from the convention for the reason
that most Of the prominent houses
who deal in dairy supplies are now
making exhibits at st. Louis at great
expense, and the exposition does not
close until late date, which will rem
der 1t quite impossible for them to
make n creditable showing at the con-
vention. Grangers Of central New
York will attend this meeting In large
numbers.

MAKING cozY CORNERS.
Sphere for the Taste and Ingenuity Of
Woman.

AS the architect Of home adorn-
to whom we must look for those little
artistic touches which bespeak the
homely atmosphere and give the un-
mistakabie evidence of forethought
and ingenuity. To her an empty cor
ner or an ugly niche becomes q
source of inspiration, and she sees
In imagination as soon as she sees
the corner its possibilities OF being
transformed into place of beauty
and comfort.
She realizes that the tones of all
the furnishings must harmonize with
the color scheme Of the room, and
yet be picturesquely Oriental, or Eng
lish. or Dutch, and she lets embroid-
cries and soft draperies and all sorts
of simple or weird-looking stuffs run
riot-but still harmonizing.
She searches through the shops for
dear, new-old things, and she ran
sacks secondhand stores for equally
dear new-old things"-if she has a
full purse. But If not. she heaves a
sigh and betakes herself hopefully to
the attic and to the attics of her rela-
tives. She rummages and pulls about
the various treasures which her
trained eye tells her are really
antiques" and she looks over her
find" from every view.
Then she sends for the carpenter,
and lays bare her secret plans. Go
into this artistic woman's house after
ward, and see what you will see. Cozy
corners that are cozy corners! Really
comfortable snug nests, in which one
may rest and dream dreams without
being disturbed by useless fripperies
and impossible tides. for the woman
who knows" has her cozy corner and
all the rest of her house furnished
principally for comfort and incident
ally for ornament.
"Restfulness" is the keynote for
the den furnisher to follow, and then
will the cozy corner be a cozy corner
indeed and an everlasting joy.

Keep Young Though Grandmother.


A woman need not be old as soon
as she is q grandmother. Yet there
is something in the term a certain
aging, and too often this feeling Of
age begins to manifest itself in the
appearance. A woman grows neg
lectful of her looks. She does not
carry herself with the same smart
air. She grows slouchy in her looks
and careless in her manner.
"If | were giving the grandmother
few words of advice / would say:
"Be an April grandmother.
Keep your hands young; obser-
want people soon notice them.
Have your teeth put in order and
keep them so.
Don't let your waist spread.
Don't let your hair get out Of
style.
Don't think just because you are
grandmother that you can be care
less in your eating and drinking
and grow fat.
"Diet and exercise. @
Keep your voice young by modu-
lating it little.
Don't croak. Don't complain. Be
fresh.
"And never forget that an April
grandmother is as young as she
looks"

Revival Of Rag Rugs.

A new field for women-or, rather.
an old one revived-is due to some
clever decorators discovery that
nothing goes so well with mission
furniture as rag rugs. The new rag
rug is a different thing from that of
our grandmother's time, however. 1t
is made of new materials, not rags"
at all. Several rugs recently put on
the market are of one kind of fabric
cut into strips and beautifully woven.
Those rugs which have several kinds
of rags" in them show a distinct
pattern in stripes, and the effect Of
both designs is very good, inasmuch
as the weave Is different from that by
the looms of other days. AS these
rugs are shown lying on the floor be-
fore mission furniture desk or un-
der mission chair before the hearth
stone the look of them is SO quaint
and pretty that the woman buying
her summer cottage furnishings Is
usually captivated at once.

For the Sick Baby.

A diet for babies when suffering
with summer complaint is made as
follows: Beat the white of one egg
until it stands alone, CRATE over it a
little nutmeg. then pour on one-half
pint boiling water, beat again until
well mixed. sweeten to suit the taste.
and strain. Can be used in a nursing
bottle for quite a small baby. This
can be used with success when milk
and all other foods fail, and is very
nourishing.

THE BARGE CANAL.
Senator Amber of the New York
state Grange Legislative Commit
tee Favors Resubmi issiop.


tee Fnvors Resubmission.
Senator Henry s. Amber, who was
one Of the most ardent opponents Of
the barge canal scheme in the legisla-
ture last winter, will introduce at the
earliest opportunity Mt the next session
of the New York state legislature
bill for the resubmlssion Of the propo-
sition to the voters of the state unless
prior action may be taken by the legls-
lature for the repeal Of the act Sena-
tor Amber argues that the expendi-
ture Of S101, 100000, as now cont M
plated will not suffice for the pur-
pose, but that It will require at least
S300,000,00O to complete the canal. If
the canal Is constructed he believes it
will be huge burden upon the agrl-
cultural interests OF the state and upon
real estate in the cities. He further
says that there has been radical
change in the opinion of many who
supported the measure before as they
did not then have full information as
to the possibilities of cost Of construc.
tion nor that 1t would be inadequate
to the purpose. He believes that the
canal should he made national wa
terway and its construction paid for
by the national government. He has
recently caused to be sent to the mas.
ters of the subordinate oranges in the
state communication asking that
they forward petition signed by their
members to the canal board asking
that no more expenditures be incurred
for the barge canal until such time AZ
the legislature shall convene and con-
slider the proposition anew.

Jurisdiction OF National and State
Oranges.

The national grange has jurisdiction
over all the oranges, issues charters,
makes the laws, except that each state
grange of course makes its own by
laws, which must conform to the ma
tional grange constitution and laws.
Each state grange has jurisdiction over
its county or district and subordinate
oranges. In some Of the New England
states instead Of county limits there
are district jurisdictions. The subor.
dinate oranges are the local divisions.
Usually there is but one subgrange to
a township, but there may be more If
they conform to the grange law that no
two oranges shall be nearer together
than five miles,

If the lecturers of all the subordinate

they would find the results exceedingly

more time at their disposal If the con-

SIMON WOLF THINKS HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BRING ABOUT SOME CONCERTED ACTION IN THE MATTER.

Washington, November 9.-Smon Wolf, former president of the B'Nai B Rith, has sent the following appeal to President Roosevelt
 ''To the President of the United States.
 The man that sidetracked precedents by ending the coal strike; that conjured peace between Russia and Japan, and who has in a hundred ways showed marvellous versatility and courage, can he not take the initiative and bring about concert or action to stem the cruelties in Russia?
 How long Is this ghastly, fendish holo- cauSt to contne? SIMON WOLF" MT. Wolf Is now heading a movement en Jews in Russia pending any action that may be taken by the United States or other nations of the world He points out that 25,OO0 Jews have been killed and 10O,000 have been injured during the recent massacres in Russia
 We have got to raise millions of dol lars in this country and Europe," said MT. Wolf today. "The situation is acute and calls for our best and strongest eff fort to succor the persecuted Jews in the land of the Car"
 mass meeting called by representative Hebrew citizens will be held here to~--r- row evening in order to crystalize and centraize the relief efforts. President Roosevelt has made it clear that in the present circumstances this government take no action for the relief of the op- pressed Hebrews of Russia as the con stituted authorities of that country are unable to control the element which Is attacking the Jews.
