T he exhibit of the College and Experiment Station at the State F a ir justly attracted a good deal of attention. T he exhibit of the me chanical department was the first to meet the eye as the'visitor entered the door of the alcove of the main building in which the exhibit was installed. T he comments of the passing crowd were to the. effect that they didn't see how boys could thing. Mechanics ' do that sort of raiU from the city came inside the ing, examined the work critically, and went away praising the prac instruction tical character of given. One mechanic was espe cially pleased with the pattern mak ing, another with the accuracy and perfection of the work in iton and steel. T he material had been wisely arranged by Mr. N e w m a n, illustrat ing the work of the College along that line, and the impression left on the crowd was very gratifying. the ( Next came the analysis of beets by M r. A. N. Clark who main tained a "continuous p'erforinance" showing how beeU are tested for sugar content and purity of juice at a factory. This phase of the Col lege work was s:iown at the sugges tion of the department of State and proved to be one of the most taking things in the whole exhibit. T he beets were sent in to the department exhibit across'the aisle at the invi tation of O. C. H o we 'S3, head of ,the division of statistics of the office of Secretary of State, and were an alyzed by M r. Clark to illustrate to the farmer how the thing is done in a factory. crowd about this table all the time. . T h e re was a cheese were won by persons who had taken the special courses at M. A. C. T he first prize cheese was made by Miss M u r p hy of Lowell, w ho was in the special chetse class in 1897; and the first prize butter by Mr. A. R. Pierce, a student in the special dairy course in 1S95. T he Butter scored 9 7^ per cent.— c. D. s. Seniors at the Fair. to the live Those of the >enior agricultural students w ho were able leave their work here, attended the State fair at Grand Rapids last Tuesday. , T h ey were accompanied by Prof. Mumford, who was judge of sheep at the fair. Their purpose was to meet stock, judges on watch them at their w o rk and gain a better idea of their methods, and to study, for themselves, the stock exhibited. T he exhibits of stock were fine. Prominent among them were an exhibit of -Percheron and French Coach horses by D u n h a m, Fletcher and Coleman of W a y n e, Illinois; the famous Aaron Barber herd of Shorthorns from Avon, N ew Y o r k, now owned by W. A. Boland of Grass L a k e, Mich.;, and a flock of Lincoln sheep by J. H. -and E. Patrick of Ildertori, Canada. This was said to be the best exhibit of Lin'colns ever seen in Michigan and is probably the best show dock in America today. After spending all Tuesday at the fair, the class re turned Tuesday night, feeling well repaid for their trip. l\ T.

Amorig the interest ing articles representing the work for the College and Station a few only can be mentioned here. T he large chart upon which was shown the sugar content and purity of the 1 beets grown in the several counties of the state in 1891 fro'm seed im- ported by" the College at the insist ence of Dr. Kedzie, revealed to the many interested business- men».the fact that it is to the College that the state owes the inception of the beet factory has sugar been built without first looking up this work and subsequently in 1.897. This fact the performed factories acknowledge and t he farmers themselves are be ginning to realize this, another debt due the institution. industry. No cheerfully that T he varieties of wheat, the new., legumes^ the dynamometer and chart showing the draft of wagons under varying conditions, the diseases of • sugar beets and finally the illustra tions of the relative values of certain methods of fertilization on muck lands, were important and interest ing factors in making up the display. Much credit is due Prof. T o w ar for - his skill and judgment in selecting the representative materials and ex hibiting them to the best advantage. J. M.

W. that puzzled my friend Thomas is "cream tartar," or acid tartrate of potash, the crystals colored of a purple hue by the grape juice. T he most abundant acid in grapes .in Michigan in ordinary seasons is the malic acid, so called because it is so abundant in apples. T he presence of malic\instead of tartaric acid in the grape juice of ordinary seasons, on fermenting produces a liquor of the cider class in place of wine. To make real wine there must be the presence of tartaric acid in the juice. approximating tropical weather we occasionally find the real tartaric acid in place of malic, thus become genuine wine and season grapes. This within have large preponderance of found a tartaric acid in the ripe grapes. I first noticed it in 1856, then in 1S72, the and now is the fifty years when the grapes produce in 1899.

While this is to around be deplored, it is not surprising; it was well known that our " s c r u b s" could break up the first eleven inter ference for end plays.
