Farm Notes. addressed Prof. Wheeler the Natural History Society last Wed nesday night on the subject, "His tory ol Forestry in Michigan." On the outset he gave a brief history of forestry in Europe. He spoke of the oak as being almost the only wood used until the beginning of the present century. The oak then scarce and as became somewhat shipbuilding became an important industry some wood had to be found to take its place. Attention was turned to the cone-bearing trees in general, the principal ones used be ing the Scotch pine, European spruce and American white pine. The history of forestry in Michigan is in reality a history of the destruc tion of the white Dine. He told of the beginning of lumbering and described to some extent its develop industry in ment as an important Michigan. Some figures were given showing the amount of lumber cut in different years, its money value, and the number of men employed in this immense industry in the past. T he location of the principal white pine districts in Michigan waa quite question fully which now confronts the people is not "How can we save our forests t" but " H ow can we reforest our land." The answer to this question is the great problem in Michigan forestry. "The only way,"* he said *• for any thing definite to be accompfished, is by having an annual appropriation to be pat in the hands of a forestry com mission to be expended in ad forestry vancing throughout the state." He dosed by giving a brief account of how the forests of Germany were man aged and how a person wishing to become one of the government for esters is obliged to prepare himself for his work. Forestry is one of the professions of the future. the work described. T he of Mr. Barlow gave some very in teresting observations on how a snowball behaves when thrown slanting into the snow.

Meal sugar weather consists of frtrzing nights and thawing days, with now am! then a flurry of snow. When a freeze follows a storm, the sugar-maker is happy, for he knows the thaw which must quickly fol low, will make the sap start with a spurt and cause it to run freely for three or four days. A flow of sap which will rail a twelve-quart bucket within a day is considered a good run, but there are days in exception ally good sugar weather when twice that amount is obtained. The sap is obtained from the maple trees by boring a half-inch hole into its trunk about one inch in depth and from one to four feet above the ground. After the bole has been made, a wood or iron spout is driven firmly into the hoi*. T he Post spile is • very good spout to use, as it prevents th* air from dry ing up the wall* of the aperture into which the spout is driven. T in buckets for catching th* sap aw* hung close under th* spouts by to the means of book* JHtmm spout or by nails driven into th* tree just below th* spout. At a rule, only on* bucket is hung on * tree, but in some sugar-lots, thr** er foor btteketa with t wo spouts each ar* often mm on targ* t****. In appearance sap is like water, hut it has a slight sweetish flavor. The sap is gathered into a tank or barrels drawn on a sled through the woods by horses. When the tank is full it is drawn to the sugar-house, which is located near the center of the sugar-bush, and the sap is run into a storage tank or cistern from which it is fed into the evaporator. The evaporator is made of gal vanized iron or copper and is placed over what is commonly called an " arch/' This is a large brick stove in which a very hot tire can be made in order to boil the sap. T he sap enters the front end of the evap orator from the supply tank through s regulator which keeps the sap in the evaporator at a uniform depth. The cold sap, entering the evapo rator at the front where the fire is the hottest, is made to take, by means of partitions extending nearly across the pan, a zig zag course from front to rear, thus becoming thicker and sweeter, until at last it is drawn off as syrup. Syrup is of the proper consistency to be drawn from the evaporator when it weighs about eleven pounds to the gallon, with a boiling point of 219° F. When the syrup is drawn from the evaporator it is run through a heavy flannel strainer, which takes out all the sugar-sand and other impurities. After the syrup has been strained, it is poured into tin cans, or jugs, and sealed ready for the consumer. The arch, evaporator, and storage tanks are protected from the weather by being euclosett in a building, called the sugar house. T he sugai bouse should be large enough to contain not only the boiling fixture*, but the huikels, when nut in uae, ami the wood. T he sap m never made into more than syrup in the evaporator. If haul augar is wanted, the syrup i» £laved in a •* sugar-pan** and the Niing coatinswd nntU the txafcng- point reads** 143* F. Ai thk Wan perature, th* bqasd sssgar wis. *Tn> talis* and becowt* hard srhea eakL Then* are varioen w«y* of tailing l k« Mfaaaf t* " w h en On* vew/ pretty and » » t * * li is to take a small wire, *r stark, l a i a ti a loop at one end.* Dip this loop in the sugar and as soon as removed, blow through the loop and the thin, hot film of sugar covering the loop will form bubbles, feathers, or rib- I'ons, if the sugar will cake when cold. But the thermometer test is more convenient and accurate. When the sugar has boiled sufficiently, it is from the fire, stirred a removed short time to give it a proper grain, and then turned into tin.molds where it crystallies into hard cakes. In making maple sugar or syrup cleanliness is absolutely necessary in every step from the time the sap is collected until it is made into sugar, fireat care should be taken that all the implements used to hold the sap or syrup are kept clean and sweet. Sap should not be allowed to sour in the buckets, or burn in the pan. T he souring of the sap means a large per cent, of glucose in the sugar; and burning gives a dark color to the sugar. In both cases the flavor is impaired. At the present time maple sugar or syrup has become a luxury, as one-half the price is paid fur the sweet and the other half for the flavor. Maple trees are becoming scarcer year by year and the day ia not far distant when maple sugar will be a thing of the past. One would naturally think that such a sweet occupation would be pleasant work. It is when the weather is fair and it is not neces sary to boil all night, but in cold storms, which are qjite frequent at this time of the year, it is quite an other thing. Gathering sap in a cold, drizzling rain and plodding through slush and snow with numb fingers, cold feet and wet clothes is anything but fun. But there is one thing that is pleasant in connection with sugar-making, namely, the sugar parties where the young peo ple get together, eat warm sugar, pull taffy, and have a general good time. T h at Turnip Seed. "It was right out there where that pond is now to be seen, that I sowed that turnip seed in the spring of 1858.** said Dr. O. Palmer, of Grayling, as he showed us the place, after passing out of the Horticul tural Laboratory and pointing to the north. As a student, he had been sent to sow the seed without any instructions, and the Doctor even questioned whether the man then in charge knew how much seed to sow to the square rod. He put it on thick, at the rate of a half bushel to the acre, more or leas. T he seeds came up, and the young plants covered the ground so thickly there was no room for the roots to spread themselves. T he turnips were narrow and slim at the ex pense of broad diameter*. They couldn't grow in any other direction. It was up and down or nothing. T he crop attracted much attention and furnished the college free ad vertising for many years after. How iong after, some may be curi ous to know. F. E. Skeels, '78, while a student at M. A. C, taugnt a winter school in the eastern part of this county in the winter of 1S77- 78, and at that date, th* farmer* wete still saying that no one at the College knew anything about farm ing, and all because Dr. Palmer put on plenty of turnip seed twenty years before.

A Soldier's Life The following are extracts from a letter written by Dale A. Smith, from Manila, to his parents; '$8, Revieiu; clipped from the Portland We hsve been quite busy here doing guard and escort duty and patroling. I was provost sergeant for one week but didn't like the job. I had charge of the prisoners at work, they swept the plaza and streets, hauled gravel, loaded wag ons and many other odd jobs. T he work kept me in the hot sun nearly all day, and it gave me a headache which bothered me for about two weeks but has left me now. I have to go on guard about every third day and now sometimes have to go on a patrol between guard*. T he patrol proposition is rather a hard one for we have to be out all night and sometimes until noon the next day. The object is to break up bands of guerillas and"Ladrones" or robbers. We have captured some of them, but it hasn't been my good fortune to meet any of them. When off duty there is practically nothing to do. I study Spanish some, read every paper and magazine I can get hold of, and sleep. It is a lazy life. Sometime* I am so broken of my rest that it takes two or three days to catch up enough to read. This is one of my ambitious days, as 1 have had two nights in and am thoroughly rested. The days get quite warm but the nights are cool, and if it wasn't for mosquttos we could rest in peace. I have slept on the bare ground with three neither blanket or pouch nights suffer this month; didn't with the cold although 1 was just a trifle chilly in the morning. Life to me now is monotonous and so little happens that I hardly know what to write about. We eat our meals, go bathing, do our guard duty and listen to the band concerts in the evening, and, of course, talk about being mustered out and get ting an increase of pay. We have a rumor department in our barracks, and the rules say that if a man returns from an escort or tour of guard duty without a wel defined rumor in which he thor oughly beltevr-s, hrs chewing tobacc" will be taken from him and he will be allowed but one meal a day- The result is that many of the boy * have cultivated thai would do credit to th* biggest lisr* of anoent or modern history. imaginations I haven't missed a single call fot duty since I've been in t h* servw-e. haven't bean sack a day, and I'm the only sergeant to company B that can say that. * But I'm getting very thin; don't think 111 weigh 140.
