 The Farmers Institute last Satur- day was we'll attended and a great success. In the forenoon Karl Musser of Storrs gave an interesting address on Dairy work and demonstrated the Babcock test, using specimens of milk that had been brought in by those present. There was much interest in this and more samples brought than could be tested. After lunch and a social hour, MT. Ellis, the county agent, gave an address and demon stration on testing seed corn. He brought two "rag g-doll testers'' and two others had been prepared by H. M. Lawson, showing clearly the difference between the fertile and the weak ears. The next address was by A. J. Brundage, the head of the Boys and Girls club work in the state. He gave very interesting talk of what the boys and girls were doing in various places. This was followed by a meeting of the local club, which elected the following officers: President Dominic DeCarlo; vice president, Arthur Proulx; score. tary, Ina Buell.; treasurer, Grace Buell. MT. Brundage gave them some further directions and encouragement for the work of the coming year and the prospects are bright for a good year of the club.

But he said. "a rigid economy

Ulsternen at Cork
Strengthen Hopes
Of Home Rulers
Orange Delegates to Irish
Convention Make Friend
ly Speeches

CORK, ireland. Sept. 25.-The Irish
Convention reassembled here to-day.
The members were guests of the Har-
Dor Board at luncheon, and visited fac
tories and places of interest.
As many of the southern and west
crn delegates were never in Belfast
until the convention visited that city,
so some of the northern delegates never
had been in Cork. The northerners were
delighted with the decision to hold
some of the sittings here.
Though no definite arrangement yet
has been reached with the Ulster men,
it is said that the speeches of some OF
their leaders, couched in eloquent and
friendly language, have given good
ground for hope of a peaceable set
tlement. Some apprehension of oppo-
sition on the part of the Sim Feiners
in Cork to the convention was felt, but
John MacNeill and Arthur Grifiiths
Sim Fein leaders, urged their follow
ers in this city to follow the example
of their Dublin compstriots and let the
convention alone.
Sir Bertram c. A. Windle, presiden,
Of the University College of Cork, was
host to Sir Horace Plunkett, chairman
of the convention.
The following motion was carried
unanimously by the delegates at THEN
business meeting:
First, thai on the conclusion Of the
debate at the present sittings Of the
convention the various schemes which
have been submitted will be referred
to a grand committee In order, if pos
sible, to prepare a scheme for submis
sion to the convention which woulC
meet the views and difficulties eX
pressed by different speakers during
the course OF the debate.
J. Second, that the convention stanC
/ adjourned after this weeks sitting
until the grand committee is in a posi-
! tion TO report"
