"Science 

Last  Wednesday  night  M r.  Mc-
Nair  of  N ew  Y o rk  spoke  on  the 
topic 
in  Agriculture." 
T he  talk  was  rather  rambling,  yet 
an  interesting  one.  He  said:  "Sci 
ence  is  the  higher  development  of 
ordinary  knowledge. 
It  conveys 
idea  of  both  quality  and  quan 
the

idea  of  measurement  is 
the  consequence  of  the  higher  de

Volume  1 of  this  valuable  work 
by  Professor  L.  H.  Bailey,  '82,  of 
Cornell  University  has  been 
re 
ceived  by  the  Experiment  Station. 
T he  remaining  three  volumes  are  to 
follow  in  quick  succession. 

He  gives  a  list  of  contributors 
consisting  of  180  names,  among 
whom  are  the  following  graduates 
of  M.  A.  C: 

Prof.  C.  S.  Crandall,  '73,  Colo 
rado;  C.  W.  Garfield, 
'70,  Mich

Including  Professor  Bailey,  '82, 
the  editor,  this  makes  sixteen  per 
sons  or  nearly  one-eleventh  of  the 
whole  number.  Either  the  editor 
is  prejudiced  in  favor  of

carefully  cultivate  their  memories." 

T he  oratorical  contest  was  won 
by  J a m es  M c F e e,  of  Kalamazoo 
College,  his  subject  being  "Patriot 
ism's  Messiah."  Miss  Mathilda 
Bower  of 
the  State  Normal  was 
second.  Miss  Bower  spoke  upon 
"Martin  Luther."  Third  place  was 
taken  by  F r a nk  M.  Whitney  of 
Olivet,  whose 
subject  was  " T he 
H e ro  of  H u n g a r y ." 

T he  contest 

took  place  Friday 
evening  at  the  Academy  of  Music, 
K a l a m a z o o. 
T he  house  was 
crowded,  and  all  the  colleges  of  the 
State  were  represented  by  delegates 
and  representatives. 

George  M.  Odium,  w ho  was  the 
representative  of  M.  A.  C.  in  the 
contest,  had  for  his  subject  " T he 
Anglo-Saxon 
and  His  Destiny." 
Mr.  Odium  was  sick  for  some  little 
term  and 
time  during 
while  it  is  unfortunate 
that  M.  A. 
C.  did  not  secure  a  place  among  the 
first  three,  great  credit  is  due  him 
the  energy  he  has  displayed 
for 
since  he  entered  the  contest.

It  is  interesting  to  note  the  com

and  on  this  plat  a  ewe  with  her  two 
lambs  has  been  placed,  within  a 
portable  pen.  T he  pen  is  moved 
sufficiently  to  give  fresh  pasture  for 
the  sheep,  every  day,  and  it  is  ex

support  the  sheep  until  October,  the 
ewe  being  removed  after  weaning 
the  lambs,  in  J u l y. 

Experiments  are  also  to be  carried 
out  with  respect  to  fertilizing  muck

Unsafe  Matches. 

A  few  days  ago  M r s.  Wilson, 
wife  of  Gen. J.  H.  Wilson,  military 
governor  of  Matanzas  province, was 
so  badly  burned  at  Matanzas,  Cuba, 
while  driving  from  her  home  to  the 
general's  office  that  she  died  a  short 
time  afterward.  T he  accident  was 
caused  by  a  match  that  was  lying 
on  the  bottom  of  the  carriage. 
It 
is  supposed  that  M r s.  Wilson  step 
ped  on  it,  whereupon  her  dress  took 
fire. 

A  similar  horror  happened  to  the 
Arch-duchess  of  Austria  in  her  own 
palace  several  years  ago.  She  step 
ped  on  a  match  on  the  floor,  which 
ignited  setting  fite  to  her  light  and 
inflammable  clothing, and she burned 
to  death  surrounded  by  her  shriek

such  accidents  because  of  the  inflam

prize  essay  N o. 4, by  the  American

and  Death,"  M r.  Ireland  calls  spec

the  use  of  ordinary  matches, 
and  cites  an  instance,  "A  girl,  pass

stepped 
upon  a  common  match 
which  threw  off  a  piece  of  burning 
brimstone  which  landed  in  a  bale  of

started."  He  recommends  the  pro

T he  matches  now  in  use  which 
are  not  safe  unless carefully  handled, 
are  those  in  which  chlorate  of  pot 
ash  is  used  as  the  oxidizing  agent.

"Parlor  Matches,"  tipped  with  a  red

work,  use  of  machine  tools,  d r a w i ng

domestic  work  for  girls.  T he

schools depends  somewhat on  the  age 
of  the  pupils, kind  of  work  done  and 
the  other  requirements  of  the  school, 
but  from  one  to  two  hours  a  day 
seems  to  be  the  best  amount  of  time 
to  allot  to  manual 
training.  This 
training  awakens  an  interest  in  the 
school  work.  T h e re 
is  a  change 
from  study  to  a  different  occupation 
and  this  variety  enables  the  pupil  to 
less  tiring 
work  more  hours  with 
effect.  Manual 
schools 
take  advantage  of  this.  More  hours 
are  passed  in  school  and  less  study 
done  outside.

T he  object  of  such  a  school  is, 
first,  to  drill  pupils  in  the  fundamen 
tal  mechanical  principles  that  are  the 
basis  of  all 
trades,  and  second,  to 
teach  the  student  to  reason,  to  work 
with  care,  and  foster  a  higher  ap 
preciation  of  the  value  and  dignity 
of  intelligent 
labor  and  the  worth 
and  respectability  of  laboring  men. 
T he  graduate  of  the  manual  training

T he  pupil  will  be  taught 
to construct, think  and reason.  Some 
one  has  said  "  T he  hand  and

These  schools  should  aim  to  train 
the  analytical,  reasoning  and  con

A  Model  Dairy  Farm. 

An  Easter-tide. 

It  is  safe 

During  a  recent  visit  to  the  farm 
of  Mr.  A.  M.  Welch,  of  Ionia,  we 
had  the  pleasure  of  thoroughly  in 
the 
specting  his  dairy;  and,  to  say 
least,  were  very  favorably  impressed 
with  what  we  saw. 
to 
say  that  Mr.  Welch  is, in every  way, 
an  up-to-date  farmer  and  dairyman. 
Not  being  content  with  the  methods 
of  the  average  farmer,  he  is  continu 
ally  experimenting  to  discover  new 
and  better  ways  of  conducting 
the 
necessary  operations  of  the  farm,  or 
to  prove  the  value  of  the  old  ones. 
In  other  words,  he  is  conducting  his 
business  in  a  business-like  manner, 
and  is  able  to 
tell  from  just  what 
sources  he  receives  his  profits,  some 
too  many  farmers  of 
thing  which 
the  state  are  unable  to  do. 

Mr.  Welch 

is  located  about  four 
miles  northeast  of  the  city  of  Ionia, 
on  a  farm  of  550  acres,  nearly  all  of 
is  improved.  Although  he 
which 
takes  much  interest  in  general  farm-
ingj  his  main  energies  are  directed 
lines.  At  present  his 
along  dairy 
herd  of  60  cattle  consists  for 
the 
thoroughbred  Jerseys, 
most  part  of 
Guernseys  and  Shorthorns,  all  of 
which  present  an  unusually  healthy 
and  thrifty  appearance.

one  might  notice  at

gers  are 
supplied  with  stationary 
iron  buckets,  which  are  kept  uni 
formly  filled  with  water  by  an  iron 
pipe  connected  with  a  nearby  tank,

though  of  the  utmost  importance,  is 
Msually  overlooked.  T he  feeding  is

labor-saving 
manner,  bv  the  use  of  cars  that  are

T he  reasons  for 

successful 
the 
work  of 
this  dairy  are  apparent. 
Mr.  Welch  always  insists  upon  the 
perfect  cleanliness  of  his  cows  and 
their  surroundings,  and  that  they  be 
"treated  with 
the  utmost  kindness. 
Every  cow  is  thoroughly  groomed 
daily,  and  this  together  with  gentle 
treatment,  and  proper 
and 
ventilation  accounts  for  the  excellent 
condition  of  his  herd. 

feed 

We  have  been  able  to  give  only  a 
very  brief  description  of  Mr.  Welch's 
dairy  and  his  methods.  Much  more 
might  be  said  of  them,  and  anyone 
interested 
the  dairy  business 
would  do  well  to  pay  him  a  visit.

He  sat  alone  in  the  quiet  dusk— 
his  elbows  on  the  desk—his  head  in 
his  hands  and  tried  to  think. 

To 

think!  H ow  could  he? 

It 
drove  him  mad.  He  had 
tried.— 
A h!  God  alone—if  there  was  one— 
knew  how  hard  he  had  struggled, 
fought,  striven,  to  get  out  of 
the 
that  monster  so  many 
clutches  of 
'  call  Fate.  T he  cold  hard  world 
had  trampled  upon  him  mercilessly, 
yet  he  had  started  out  with  high 
ideals  and  an  ambition  capable  of 
reaching  out  and  up  to  them. 

He  had  meant  all  to  be  so  differ 
ent—so  much  brighter  and  better. 
But  he  had  failed—failed  miserably, 
and  now  he  would  fight  no  longer. 
W h at  was  the  use  of  it,  anyway? 
Let  Fate,  chance—call  it  anything— 
take  its  course,  he  no  longer  served 
truth  and  right.  Come  one—come 
all  the  little  faults  and  weaknesses— 
seflishness.  Come 
pride,  vanity, 
this 
and  with  your  deft  fingers  bind 
conquered  one.  •  He  had 
tried  and 
it  had  not  paid  for  the  struggle  so 
n o w— 

"  Christ  our  Passover  is  sacrificed 
the

for  us,  therefore 
feast." 

He  started  up  and  listened,—from 
the  dim  old  church  across  the  way, 
the  young  voices  floated  out  and  into 
the  window,—the  last  rehearsal  be 
fore  the  beautiful  feast  day  on  the 
morrow.

"  Not  with 

leaven  of 
malice  and  wickedness,  but  with  the 
unleavend  bread  of  sincerity  and 
truth," 
then  a  hush  broken  by  a 
single  low  voice. 

" F or  since  by  man  came  death; 
by  man  came  also  the  resurrection  of 
the  dead." 

And  so  they  sang.  He 

listened 
till,  with  a triumphant  burst,  as if,  of 
victories  fought  and  won,  the  grand 
Old  Gloria  rang  out  on  the  night  air, 
—he  sank  upon  his  knees  and  with 
head  uplifted—heart  steeled  anew 
for  the  conflict,—joined  the  triumph

"  Glory  be  to  the  Father,  Son  and

A  Good  Suggestion. 

It  has  been  suggested  by  F.  T. 
Williams,  '98, w ho was one of the 
soldier  boys  in  the  late  war, that  at 
parade,  during  the  lowering  of the 
flag,  all  the  young  men  in  the 
vicinity  of the parade  ground  remove 
their  hats;  this  is  the  custom  in  the 
camps.  T he suggestion  is  a  good 
one  and the  department  wishes  that 
it  might  be  inaugurated  here  at the 
college,  and to this  end requests  that 
all  the  young  men, w ho  for any 
reason  have  been  excused  from  drill, 
and  are watching  the parade,  comply 
with  the suggestion.
