Grange
FARMERS INSTITUTES.
operation Of the Grange With tn
Department of Agriculture.


The grange in New York state is CO
operating with the work of the farm
ers Institutes in all ways that it can,
and we presume this is true in other
states. The commissioner of agricul-
ture recently held a conference of
farmers institute conductors, every
one being members of the grange. 1t
was decided to hold county confer
ences during the summer and fall
with representatives of the different
agricultural organizations in each
county, particularly the grange. At
these conferences it is to be deter
mined where in each county the farm
ers' institutes shall be held and what
matters of general interest will be dis
cussed 1t is not proposed to decide
upon locations of institutes in ad-
vance of or independently of the CON
ferences which will be held in the diff
ferent counties. Persons who wish to
make such requests should take the
matter up with the chief officer of
some grange or other agricultural or
ganization within the county and re-
quest that he have the claims present
ed at the conference. -'r,s,s,r.s So, ti-ss.,s.
Approaching the Importance Of a
proper cooperation between the
grange and the institute, we asked
Commissioner r. A. Pearson of the de-
partment Of agriculture of New York
state to outline his views on the sub
ject. In reply he said: The grange
can and does do a great deal in the
interest of our institute work. They
can do still more. In the first place, the
masters will be invited to attend the
county conferences, and wish that
they would consider this an important
engagement and not let it be broken
unless absolutely Necessary. At the
county conferences the locations Of in
stitutes will be decided upon and to 4
large extent the character of the pro-
gram will be determined. Then. too,
l wish more Of the oranges would get
in touch with the institute speakers
and assist in developing the subjects
by having good illustrative specimens
at hand when the speakers arrive.
Many such specimens can be used TO
advantage in lectures in the halls. And
why should not any grange follow
up the institute program at their meet
ings succeeding the institute going
into the subjects perhaps still further
and reviewing the new points and
points of most Importance which were
brought out at the institute?
The institutes doubtless do best
work when many people feel a per
sonal interest in and responsibility for
them. In other words, in the institute
work we believe in cooperation, which
is a watchword of the grange.

DAIRYMEN'S LEAGUE.
An Organization of Changers ard
Other Farmers In New York.

Orange county has for many years
been noted the country over for its
extensive dairy interests. When New
York city authorities placed certain re-
strictions on the dairymen Of the
nearby dairy counties. restrictions
they believed to be unnecessary even
to attain the ends desired, these dairy
farmers rebelled. not with Il view to
thwart the ends desired by the city
authorities, but rather to attain them
by different course of procedure. So
the Dairymen's league was organized
1t stands for living prices, sanitary
conditions, pure milk and healthy cows
fed on wholesome food. Such condi-
lions can only be brought about by or
ganization Of the farmers. that they
may put their business on a paying
basis so they may derive the means to
employ sufficient help to bring about
the sanitary stables and keep the cows
in a proper state of cleanliness. They
can then produce a clean and sanitary
pure milk, which must be started right
or it never will be right.
In the league dairieS there are now
100000 cows at least worth $12.0O0,0OO.
1t requires about four acres of land
to support each COW, which represents
an outlay of $4,000, 900, and we have
invested about $30,OO0,000 in equip
ment. We think this vast outlay and
industry worth protecting by organiza
ton. The object of the Dairymen's
league is to put the milk business on
paying basis to the producer Until
we create financial incentive for the
farmer says the leagues president. We
cannot look for results satisfactory to
the trade
