T he  Short  Courses. 

T he 

short 

special 

courses 

in 
Dairy,  Fruit,  and  Live  Stock  which 
began  six  weeks  ago  have  been 
finished 
this  week.  T he  friends  of 
the  College  will  be  interested  in 
hearing  of  the  scope  and  nature  of 
the  work  covered  in  these  courses. 
Probably  none  of  the  various  activi 
ties  carried  on  by  the  College 
is 
more  productive  of  good 
results 
than  are  these  short  courses.  T h ey

of  the  State  of  familiarizing 
them 
selves  with  the  latest  thought  and 
development  in  the  science  of  agri 
they  are  becoming 
culture.  T h at 
more  and  more  appreciated  is  evi 
dent  from 
the  increased  attendance 
this  year, which  amounted  to  twenty 
more  than  last  year. 

T he  Dairy  course  was  under  the 
instruction  of  Mr.  J o hn  Michels. 
T he  work  consisted  of  lectures  every 
day  from  8  to  12. 
In  the  afternoon 
the  class  was  divided  into  two  sec 
into  the 
tions,  one  section  going 
creamery  room  and  the  other 
tak 
ing  creamery  mechanics  and  testing 
on  alternate  days.  Stress  was  laid 
upon  ripening  of  cream.  A  special 
drill  was  had  in  handling  butter  cul 
in 
ture  or 
creamery 
in 
the  different 
combined 
churns  and  workers,  as  well  as  in 
styles  of  heaters  for 
the  various 
separating  milk.  Each  student  was 
given  three  or  four  days'  drill  each 
week 
large 
in  scoring  butter.  A 
number  of  pound  prints  were  made, 
the  demand-  for  which  far  exceeded 
the  supply.

T he  importance  of  soil  temperature 
was  given  attention.  T he  best  tem 
peratures  for  germination  and  plant 
growth  and  the best  methods  of  con 
trolling temperature  were  considered. 
Special  stress  was  laid  upon  the  im 
portance  of  air  and  soil;  the  stu 
dents'  attention  was called  to  nature's 
method's  of  soil  aeration,  and  sug 
following 
gestions  were  made  for 
nature's  methods.  A  few 
informal 
talks  were  given  on  the  more  im 
portant  tillage  implements  in  which 
attention  was  called  to  defects  of 
that 
these  implements  and  injuries 
might  occur  when  they  are  imper

tilizers  and  green  manures  were 
considered.

It  will  be  seen  that  the  live  stock 
husbandry  course  is  most  compre 
hensive,  touching  as  it  does  almost 
all  possible  phases  of  the  subject. 

All  the  instructors  are  gratified  at 
the  progress  made  and  speak  in  the 
highest  terms  of  the earnestness  with

T he 

live  stock  husbandry  course 
embraced  a  number  of  sub-divisions: 
a.  Breeds  of  live  stock  and  their 
characteristics.  T he  origin,  history 
and  characteristics  of 
leading 
breeds  of  horses,  cattle,  sheep  and 
swine  were  taken  up  and  discussed 
by  Profs.  Mumford  and  F e r g u s o n; 
especial  emphasis  being 
laid  on 
their  characteristics  and  adaptability 
to  varying  conditions  of  soil,  cli 
mate,  and  management.

b.  J u d g i ng  live stock.  T h is  work 
was  under  the  direction  of  Profs.

Every 
effort  was  made  to  give  the  students 
a  clear  idea  of  the  various  types  of 
farm  animals, and  of  the breed  types

In  this  work 
the  student  was familiarized  with  the

practical  and  scientific  men  in  dis

T he  Carberry-Durno  recital 

last 
Friday  evening  in  the  armory  gave 
the  best  satisfaction  of  any  enter 
tainment  yet presented  on our  lecture 
course.  Miss  Durno  is  a  pianist  of 
a  high  degree  of  merit,  displaying 
a  marvelously  developed  yet  liquid 
technique  coupled  with  deep  feeling, 
and  the  program  was well  calculated 
to  bring  out  her  powers.,  M a ny  of 
the  numbers  were  very

the  necessary  boldness  and

beyond  expectation.

the  Natural  History  Society 
Wednesday  evening  on  " T he  Ge6l-
ogy  of the  Great  Salt  Lake  R e g i o n ." 
He  began  by  giving  a  brief  de 
scription  of  the Great  Basin  in  which 
Great  Salt  Lake  is  located.  He  de 
scribed  the  climate  and gave  some of 
the  causes  for  its  being  so  remark 
ably  dry. 

T he  rainfall 

is  only  about  seven 
inches  while  the  evaporation  is  much 
greater  than  in  more  moist  regions. 
On  Great  Salt  Lake  the  evaporation 
is  from  80  to  150  inches  annually. 
In  prehistoric  times  all  of  what  is 
now  the  agricultural  part  of  Utah 
and  part  of  Nevada  and  Arizona 
were  occupied  by  an immense  lake— 
Lake  Bonniville. 

T he  highest  shore-line  of 

this 
great  lake  can  be  distinctly  seen  on 
the  mountains  about  one  thousand 
feet  above  the  present  level of  Great 

T h r ee  hundred  and

seventy-five

line.  Between

shore-lines.

time  when 

In  the  different  strata  and  deposits 
left  by  the  great 
lake,  and  in  the 
animal  and  vegetable  remains  found 
on  its  shores,  as  it  slowly  subsided 
we  have  an  exact  index  as  to  what 
was  the  condition  of 
the  lake  at 
different  periods.  Great  Salt  L a ke 
is  rapidly  growing  smaller  and  it  is 
only  a  question  of  a  comparatively

short 
dried  up  unless  something  is done  to 
make  good  the  loss  by  evaporation 
and  the  heavy  drain  from  its  inlets 
for  irrigation  purposes.  To  do  this 
to  blast  a  channel 
it  is  proposed 
through  what  was  the  old  outlet  to 
in  the  north  of 
Lake  Bonniville 
Utah,  and 
the 
Snake  river,  a  large  amount  of  its

gation  but  also  a  large  volume  of

It  is a  gigantic  project 
but  it  is  believed  that  by  holding  the 
land  thus  reclaimed  for  sale  and  by 
heavily  bonding  the  state  it  can  be 
accomplished.

Valuable  Gift  to  the  Department 
of  Domestic  Art. 
T he  sewing  room  has a  new  feat 
ure;  a  gift  to  the  domestic  art  de 
partment  by  Mrs.  Mary  L.  Doe  of 
Bay  City. 
It  is  a  picture,  or  series 
of  plates  showing  the  principal  eras 
of  fashion  from  the  twelfth  century 
to  the  present  time,  giving  a  pictor 
ial  history  of  woman's  dress.  Each 
plate  is  a  work  of  art  and  an  object 
lesson 
in  most 
delicate  wash  tints.  T he  plates  are 
time 
taken  from  a  work  of  much 
and 
thought  by  two  famous  men, 
Monsieur  E. Felix,  the  famous  dress 
modeler  of  Paris,  and  George  A m e-
gues  ( J a p h e t)  the  "fantaisie"  artist 
of  France,  and  is  undoubtedly  the 
best  treatise  extant  on  this 
interest

authenticity  of  color  and  design,  it 
need  only  be  stated  that  it  was  M.

selves  to  men. 
I  admit 

this,  to  a  certain 
extent 
is  right,  yet  I  want  to  say 
that  this  is  simply  a  matter  of  re 
ligion. 

that 

is  allowed 

According  to  the  teachings  of  the 
K h o r a n,  no  woman 
to 
appear  to  man  without  covering  her 
face  tightly  with  a  veil,  and  for  this 
also  Turkish  houses  are 
reason 
•divided  into  two  apartments  called 
Haremlic  and  Selamlic.  Haremlic 
is  the  section  that  women  occupy 
and  the  Selamlic  is  for  men.  There 
is  a  partition  between  the  t wo  with 
a  door  or  so  leading  from  one 
to 
the  other,  and  in  richer  houses  this 
is  usually  guarded  always  by  an 
African  negro  servant  who 
is  a 
slave  in  Turkish  houses. 

T h us  you  see  how  difficult 

it  is 
for  a  young  man  to  meet  his  lady 
friend,  sweet  heart,  etc. 

A  Turkish  woman,  according  to 
the  Khoran  is  never  allowed  to  ap 
pear  to  anyone  without  a  veil  on  her 
face,  except  to  her  father,  brother, 
uncle  and  to  her  husband  if  married. 
It  is  this  iron  law  that  cuts  off  all 
social  intercourse  of  young  men  and 
women  with  each  other.  No  social 
entertainments  or any  kind  of  gather 
ings  of  both  sexes  can  ever  take 
friends,  a 
place  of  neighbors  or 
to 
number  of  women  can  come 
gether  and  have a good  time  without 
the  presence  of  men,  and  the  same 
is  the  case  with  men.  No  man  can 
take  his  wife,  sister  or  sweetheart  to 
any  public  entertainments,  to  show, 
to picnic, or even  to church.  W o m en 
^cannot  go 
to  the  same  place  where 
men  are  present. 

Never  a  woman  can  go  to  a  din 
ning  room  or  any  such  public  place. 
E v en  the  street  cars  have  a  section 
which  only  Turkish  women  occupy. 
W i th  these  strict  laws,  certainly 
the  young  T u r ks  have  to  entertain 
themselves  in  some  other  way. 

T he  Turks  as  a  rule  are  a  luxuri 
the 
ous,  gay  class  of  people,  and 
only  way  for  them 
to 
is  to  come 
gether  in  a  coffee  shop,  in  a  saloon 
or  such  a  place  and  indulge  them 
selves 
and 
gambling. 

in  drinking, 

singing 

Although  I  admit  that  such  strict 
laws  prevail  among 
the  T u r k s,  yet 
these 
I  like  to  state  that  at  present 
formalities  can  hardly  be  seen  among 
t he 
richer  and  civilized  class  of 
T u r k s. 

I  have  been 

in  many  Turkish 
tea  parties  in 
houses,  enjoyed  their 
the  presence  of  young  women,  who 
have  been  to  me  the  same  as  my 
o wn  people. 

is 

T he  necessary  condition 

that 
one  be  on  terms  of  intimacy  with  the 
family. 
If  you  are  friendly  with 
some  members  of  the  house,  you 
may  visit  them  as  often  as  you 
like, 
and  they  are  always  willing  to  enter 
tain  you  with  the  presence  of  their 
ladies;  only,  in  order  to  respect  the 
laws  of  their  religion, women  always 
like  to  wear  a  thin,  silk  veil  on  their 
head,  which  I  think  makes  an  addi 
tional  decoration  to  their  beauty. 

But  as  I  stated,  no  stranger  can 
ever  see  the  mistress  of  the  house  or 
any  women  in  the  house. 

While  there  is  such  an  iron  law 
prevailing  between  the  two  sexes, 
yet  it  is  not  very  astonishing  to  see 
a  young  T u rk  making  love to  a  girl. 
At  night,  especially  during  sum 
mer  nights,  at  an  hour  when  every 
is  sound  asleep,  and 
living  object 
the  moon  shines  and  spreads  a  sil 
very  light  on  the  beautiful  and  calm 
waters  of  the  Bosphorus, you  see  far 
over  yonder  a  fairy  boat  gliding 
slowly  by  the  quay,  with  a  couple 

L 

oars 

scarcely  disturbing 

the 
of 
tranquility  of  the  gliding  water,  and 
giving  to  it  thousands  of  tints  under 
the  shining  moon  with  the  occasional 
movements  of  his  oars.  T he  boat 
turns  into  a  bay,  or  into  a  corner,  if 
you  can  call  it  a  corner,  and  stops 
there  a  moment  or  two.  A  young, 
blonde,  robust  man  of  18  or  20  in  it, 
with  a  harp  on  his  knees,  drops  the 
there  for  a  while 
oars  and  poses 
under 
the  moonlight  shadow  of  a 
palace  that  rises  up  with  majestic 
form  by 
the  waters,  backed  with 
evergreen  hills.  To  this  repose  fol 
lows  a  melodious,  sweet  song,  that 
hardly  can  be  heard  except  by  two 
souls  wake  at  that  hour  of  the  night. 
It  is  a  love  song,  a  reproach  of  love 
or  perhaps  the  beginning  of  love.

Mr.  R.  L.  Brown  then  read  an

Members  of

were  entertained  last  Tuesday  even 
ing  by  Messrs. Stevens  and  Bullock. 
Mr.  Stevens  in  an  interesting  paper 
on  the  " H i s t o ry  of  P i ne  Forests  of 
Mecosta  County,"  told  of  the  former 
conditions,  quantity  and  quality  of 
locality  and  how 
the  pine  of  that 
these  once  beautiful 
forests  have 
been  changed  to  an  uninviting  pine 
slashing.  Lumbermen  picked  over 
these  forests  several 
times.  Then 
came  the  forest  fires  killing  all  live 
timber.  After  this  the  dead 
timber 
was  cut  into  shingle  bolts  and  fire 
wood.  Today  a  few  pine  stubs  are 
left  as  monuments  of  the  primeval 
forests.  Mr.  Bullock  in  a  talk  on 
the  flow  of  sap  in  trees  gave  an  in 
teresting  discussion  of  four  factors 
that  aid  in  the  movement  of  sap. 
These  factors  were,  suction  caused 
by  transpiration,  root  pressure, capil
