Waterman spoke on " T he care of work horses on the interesting, so farm." It was so practical, and so hopeful that we report it as fully as possible for the benefit of all. " T he farm horse needs the best care both in the line of feeding and handling. But, unfortunately, he sometimes receives the poorest. He should be fed proper food, at proper times, in proper amounts, and be allowed time to eat his food in the proper manner. "A great number of our farmers do not exercise their horses regularly. During certain seasons of the year, especially in the spring, they push their their horses to work beyond capacities, while they were left idle most of the winter. In the horse there we need muscle and not fat, fore we should exercise them regu larly, in order to get them into proper condition and avoid the accumula tion of useless flesh. Neither over work your horse nor leave him idle. In the spring start into the work slowly and increase gradually. the skin " Secondly, the farm horse does not get a sufficient amount of groom In the spring we have the ing. the utmost shedding period, and in order to keep care is necessary in good, the hair and they healthy condition. However, ?.re often left day after day with but a light amount of grooming, and the consequence is a dull, dead ap pearance of the hair, if not an un healthy c o n d i t i on of the skin. the horses should be well Again bedded both for their health and comfort. feed Some ration. " T he farm horse is not fed a their proper horses corn with a little hay. T he horse needs a balanced ration as much as any other animal. As he needs muscles for strength, there those grains fore we should use which are rich in protein in order to build up the muscles of the animal. Bran is good, because it balances the ration, and also keeps the bow els in healthier condition." Mating of the horses. — " S o m e times much harm is done both to the team itself and to the work by the improper mating of the team. Mate the horses according to their age, size and dispositions. Never mate a small horse with a big one, or a lazy with a nervous one. Do not let the large team draw a small drag of a small one a large. Bal tools as well as your ance your horses. It is better, if possible, to keep t wo teams on the farm—light and heavy. This will cost money but it will pay." " Fit your collar. F or instance all 21 inch collars do not fit all 21 inch necks.

" Grass is not a good feed for hard working Always change your rations gradually, and if you can chop the hay. Use timothy and clover mixed. horses. " A b o ve all things be kind. Give advantage to the horse; be particular about your resting places. Let the horse know that you are interested in him. He will appreciate your kindness." A. G. B. Botanical Club. " E a r ly F u n g i" was the subject discussed by Mr. Longyear before the club Tuesday evening. He the morels, spoke principally of their distinguishing characteristics, manner of growth, time of appear ance, etc. This genus is easily dis tinguished from all others and may be collected and eaten with safety, as all the species of the group are edible. There are, so far as known, six species of morels in this state, while of other forms there are from one hundred and fifty to two hun dred, some edible, but many poison ous. In collecting for food it is best to learn a few edible species and avoid all others, as no definite rule can be given to distinguish the edi ble from the poisonous. Under observations Prof. Hedrick brought in some specimens of ad ventitious buds that are so often seen as little hard knots on the bark of fruit trees. T he bud is pushed out by the growth of the tree and remains as a knot in the bark. t wo trillium Prof. Wheeler brought in a pecu extra having liar whorls of leaves, one of bracts and calyx part green and part white. T he pistils were distinctly three in stead of one as they ordinarily occur. Mr. W e r m u th reported the result of an experiment to determine the amount of water evaporated from a mandrake leaf; the area of the leaf was calculated to be 41 sq. inches, and it evaporated 18 c. c. of water in 21 hours, which computed for an acre gives nearly 400 gallons. R. L. B. Athletic N o t e s. Intercollegiate Field Day in Lansing on J u ne 1 and 2. H. P. Weydemeyer was unani mously chosen captain of the track team at a meeting of the team last Tuesday afternoon after practice. Weydemeyer is the only one in college this year out of the five inter- colliagiate winners of last year. Russell, w ho won the 100 yds. and 220 yds. went home at the close of the winter t e r m; Brown, winner of the three bicycle races, and with Purcel of the tandem, left college in the middle of the year; Olsen w ho took the 220 yds. hurdle, de parted the first of this t e r m; and Christopher, winner of the pole vault, did not come back. the than Further this, there is only one other man now in team w ho got a place among the second and third winners, taking second in his only event. He is a likely man for first place in his event this year. T wo other men who are here now star:ed in events last year but got no place, yet these two men, we confidently predict, will be winners of firsts this year. T he large num ber of new men are showing up re markably well, and there will be a number of surprises on field day. T he chances of the track team than if ever, better were seldom, this year. Of the three M. A. C. winners in last year's wrestling con tests, not one is in college, yet with the work and material showing up so well we are hopeful of the result in this line too. T he M. A. C. ball team went to Kalamazoo on Monday of last week and played a game which was char acterized by Kalamazoo people as the best of the season. T he score of 4-0 was in favor of Kazoo; the main points were as follows: M. A. C. made three hits, two by Fraser, and one by Doolittle, three errors, and got three bases on balls. Doo little struck out three and Baker had two passed balls. F or Kazoo there were seven hits, three bases on balls. three errors, Calhoun struck out twelve men. Batteries—Doolittle and Baker; Cal houn and Stripp. GiJ the same day the sophomores maintained their prestige by beating the freshmen in a ball game, 17 to 14, in an exciting contest of seven innings. Hillsdale played here on Monday of this w e e k; report next week. Kalamazoo plays here next Satur day, M ay 26. These t wo are the last percentage games of the season, except those which occur at field day. T he last scheduled practice game is at Olivet, M ay 28. Lundy and Willetts with a num ber of other willing workers have been putting tennis the skinned courts in excellent condition, and play began on them last week. A great amount of enthusiasm is being manifested tennis, and a in large number of candidates will work off the preliminaries and finals this week. T he postponed wrestling contest to further decide the points for the Brackett class cup was held in the armory last Friday night. Only the light and welter weights were con tested, as disabilities and disinclina the number to only tions reduced three, one in each of the Baker, '02, being middle and the heavy, and Bryant, '03, in the feather weight. Without going on the mat, Baker got six points and Bryant the light weight, Barringer and Hall, '03, were winners, but tossed up for first place, the toss being won by Hall. Bullock, '02, took third. the one in the other three. In T he welter weight showed up some very pretty wrestling, espec ially between Brunger and Rudolph, the latter of w h o m, at one time, ex tricated himself after a long and hard struggle from a position which seemed a sure fall. Rudolph, '02, won first in this weight, Brunger, '03, second, and French, '03, third. T he points for the evening summed up for the freshmen 1 1 points to 10 for the sophs. These added to the 28 and 30 points respectively on the track events held three weeks ago, make 40 for the sophomores and 39 freshmen for content themselves with the thought that, based on actual performance, they are ahead, but the sophs, only smile and point to the score. the freshmen. T he an On athletic last Thursday meeting was held, at which the three following yells were adopted as special supplements to the regu lar College yell: Je h a h! Je hah! Je hah, hah, h a h! M. A. C!

T he juniors and freshmen had a game of ball on Saturday afternoon. T he juniors won by 14 to 12. T he next class game will be be tween the juniors and sophomores. Special base ball coach, Burnett, accompanied the team both to Kala mazoo and Ypsilanti, at which latter place they played last Saturday. T he boys started in with good play up to the fourth inning, when, three men on bases, Ypsi with batted a liner inside the foul just line and over the nearby board fence, letting in the four runs. This was a blow the boys did not rally from. There were six hits on each side, three of which were made by Doo little for M. A. C. A number of costly errors let the score go up to 8 to 1 in favor of Ypsilanti. C. O. B. Y. M. C. A. Banquet. Last Friday evening M r. C. H. P a r k er entertained the Y. M. C. A.

T he Americans who are here to install the exhibits of the United States are a long way from home. T h ey realized this be fore they got their baggage through the custom houses at Havre or Dover and if it through from N ew York or an in tervening port they knew it sooner. T he traveler, w h o, for the first time in Iris life cuts loose from the bag g a ge checking system feels that he has cut the last tie that binds him to his native land, for he is reasonably sure in his own mind that he will not see his trunk again. T he baggage check-is one of the blessings that average American does not the properly appreciate .until he has tried the old way of letting go at the outset and trusting to luck to recover it at his journey's end. Business methods in many lines are very dif ferent here from those in America and impress one as antiquated and cumbersome. T h ey are, at times, vexatious to the foreigner, but the inhabitants satisfied with them. seem entirely trifling Aside from certain inci dents that result naturally from life on shipboard in rough weather, the Atlantic voyage is now accomplished with little inconvenience. T ne ship is as long as a city block and carries the population of a thrifty village. T he fare is good, with fresh milk, flowers meats, vegetables and throughout the only dry land comforts that are missing are solid ground to walk on, grass and trees to relieve the eye, and—the morning paper. Of these you are deprived for six to eight days. the trip. About You may feel a little nervous at first times. When you get your shave on shipboard for instance, the barber requests the removal of your collar to avoid unpleasant accidents. T he second day out you notice little fences around and across the dining tables under the table cloths. T h ey are designed to keep the bill of fare out of the lap of the party adjacent, and if you encounter stormy weather the on thoughtfulness them that there. T a k en as a whole the trip affords excellent for rest and recreation. trip you appreciate opportunity placed the is much It After you are through the custom house, where an interpreter is at hand, vou are soon impressed with the scarcity of Frenchmen who either speak or understand French. T he French that you acquired in Amer ica is quite a different thing from that which you find in use here, and you fall back on the language of the same gesture which is discouraging everywhere. after you have struggled through a statement of your needs (in your best F r e n c h) to have a grocery clerk or a drayman ask you if you speak the English language, and if so to please do so. This is a fre quent occurrence. One friend w ho ordered up a pitcher of hot water (in F r e n c h) in the morning, was surprised to find that bis breakfast confronted him in his room when he arose. Another asked for soup and got his slippers. All of which goes to show that the people here do not comprehend the possibilities of their o wn tongue. T he Exposition has now been open t wo Weeks. It is far from complete, however, and will not be I. T he construction before J u ne and remodeling of the principal buildings was apparently delayed too long so that very few exhibits were installed for the opening day. Aside from the two Palaces of Fine Arts, which are permanent, the architecture does not impress one as being equal to the Columbian Expo sition. T he beauty and symmetry of the Court of Honor is not equalled by any feature here. Taken as a whole the buildings are crowded too closely together. T he national pa vilions on the " S t r e et of N a t i o n s" along the Seine all suffer from too close proximity of neighbors, like saplings in a row too closely planted. But in exhibits it is already apparent that the Columbian Exposition will in number and be excelled both variety as well as in artistic installa tion. Russia, Germany, Austria- Hungary, and the United States, already show large and varied ex hibits in most lines, while France is, floriculture, of course, represented in all portions of the Exposition. T he exhibits of agricultural products, processes and methods, promise to be very large and varied, though but little is y et installed, while in horticulture, espe cially in the show is already very fine. Of this and other fea'ures I shall hope to write later. T he spring has been cold and back ward so that fruit trees are but just in bloom, and the horse-chestnuts (niarronzers), with which the streets and parks are largely planted, are just nicely in fruits leaf. (except oranges) seem scarce and are very high in price, choice apples re tailing at I franc to 2 francs each, (20 cents to 40 cents) during March and April. There is apparently room here for choice American apples during late winter and early spring. W M. A. T A Y L O R, '88. Fresh the A G r a ve Y a rd Y a r n. BY G. E. MARTIN, '03, UNION LITERARY SOCIETY. It had been an unusually busy day and my wOrk kept me long after my usual office hours. W h en at last I took my hat and started for home, it was nearly midnight. I .had ex pected a clear moonlight night, but I found the sky overcast by heavy black clouds and my prospects for getting caught in a shower were very good; so, as soon as my eyes became accustomed to the darkness, I walked rather briskly. I had nearly reached the gate of the old cemetery when the moon appeared from behind a dark cloud for a moment and I saw for the first that some one was ahead of time me. F or some reason it startled me I saw and I stopped to watch him. him enter the cemetery; then he was lost in the darkness. Several institute. W h at could be the mission of a man in such a place so late at night? W i th this question there came to my mind numerous accounts that I had read, of late, of the stealing of bodies, probably for use in some medical cases had been reported within a week, and as yet no trace of the offenders could be found. T h ey had not yet, but it was only a visited J few days since a young girl had died of a peculiar brain disease and had been buried in this same cemetery. Coupling this fact with the appear ance of this midnight prowler, I thought I saw a chance to do a little detective work. It took but a few seconds for these thoughts to pass through my mind, and the next minute I found myself cautiously making my way among the tombstones in the direc tion the unknown party had taken. I had gone but a short distance when another break in the clouds gave me a view of my surroundings. 'A few yards ahead of me, with his back turned, was my quarry turning back the soft earth with a shovel. In order to see what he was doing, I resolved to move around and ap proach him from the other side. F or fear the moon would reappear and reveal my presence I made my way on my hands and knees, and slow work it was. I had covered about half the dis tance, when, as ill luck would have it, in passing under a tree I ran my hand onto something sharp, probably an old scythe, and received an ugly gash in the hand and wrist. T he pain was sickening and it took all my control to repress a groan. I was obliged to stop and bandage the wound with my handkerchief. After this my progress was even slower than before and by the time I had gained t he desired position the digger had thrown back the last shovel-full of earth and was picking up a dark colored box about a foot square. W h at the box was for I could not imagine, unless it was to be used to carry away a portion of a body. Again I thought of the girl w ho had just been buried. Could it be that he had taken the head from her body ? But my man was now moving toward the gate and I had no time to ponder over questions I could not answer. I must do something, and do it quick. My first impulse was to steal up behind him and try to overpower him, but a second thought showed me a wiser plan. follow him to his home or place of refuge then get some assistance and and make sure of his capture. Accord ingly I followed at a safe distance. I would An hour later found me relating my experience at police headquarters. T he chief seemed pleased to get the information and lost no time in send ing a couple of men to guard the house till morning. By this time my hand was pain ing me in a way not to be enjoyed, so I hurried home to dress it and to get some sleep and rest. T he next morning I was very anxious to hear the outcome of my adventure, and as soon as I could, I visited a news stand and secured a morning paper. As soon as I glanced at the first page my eye caught the headline, " Found at Last." Then I " L a st night, Prof. H —, the read: botanist, succeeded in finding, in the old cemetery, a fine, large specimen of a night-blooming species of plant in full bloom,—" that was as far as I read; my interest in the article was gone. Stock Notes. Royal Mysie 5th, t he Shorthorn bull which has headed the college herd of Shorthorns for the past four years, was shipped to Detroit last Thursday, where he will prob ably be sold for export beef. Royal was always an extremely service able bull, during the years he was owned by the College, his get hav ing the well defined features of the Shorthorn type, and possessing the hardiness of constitution character istic of the Cruikshank blood. Sheep and lambs go to pasture this week; the pastures, however, Mr. Harrison says, are in poor con dition, although the abundant spring rains would have seemed sufficient to produce a vigorous growth of grass. F or the International Live Stock Exposition to be held at Chicago next December, the Farm Department is fitting some fat wethers of various breeds. As some of these, particu larly the Hampshire and Dorset, are typical mutton types, and have been making in extraordinary weight, we think the College has a good prospect of securing one or two blue ribbons at this exposition. gains N.
