INSECT  COLLECTIONS  FOR 
HIGH  SCHOOLS. 

insects  of 

During  last  summer  and  autumn 
the  zoological  department  collected 
and  preserved  a  large  number  of 
the  more  common 
the 
State  with  the  intention  of  distribut 
ing  them  to  the  schools  of  Michigan, 
in 
in 
the  hope  of  awakening  or 
creasing  an  interest  in  natural  his 
tory  and  aiding  teachers  and  pupils 
in  the  study  of  entomology.  Dur 
ing  the  winter  this  material  has  been 
carefully  classified  and  some  of  it 
to  high 
has  been  already  sent  out 
schools 
the 
State. 

in  different  parts  of 

the 

T h r o u gh 

the 
liberality  of 
the 
State  Board  of  Agriculture, 
department  was  able 
to  provide 
some  very  nicely  finished  and  thor 
oughly  pest-proof  cases  which  are 
intended  to  hang  on  the  wall  of  the 
school  room  or 
laboratory.  Each 
case,  24  inches  by  16,  is  of  polished 
cherry,  with  plate  glass  front,  and 
in 
contains  from  65  to  75  common 

sects  carefully  selected  so  as to  show 
the  more  important  orders  found 
in 
the  State,  as  well  as  many  of  the 
interesting  facts  of  insect 
life,  such 
as  larval  and  adult  stages,  protective 
coloration,  mimicry,  beneficial  and 
harmful  species,  etc.  Each  speci 
men 
is  accompanied  by  a  clearly 
printed  label  giving  both  common 
and  scientific  name,  and  is  numbered 
to  correspond  with  a  descriptive  list 
which  is  sent  with  each  collection. 
Of  course  the  collections  are  not  all 
exactly  alike,  but  there  is  a  general 
similarity  in  all(  and  the  total  number 
of  specimens is about the same in  each. 
As  a  sample,  collection  N o.  20  con 
tains  the  following: 

lace-wings,  2 

Order  Odonata,  dragonflies,  1 
specimen;  order  Orthoptera,  grass 
hoppers,  etc.,  7  specimens;  order 
Hemiptera,  b u g s ,8 specimens;  order 
Neuroptera, 
speci 
mens;  order  Trichoptera,  caddice-
flies,  1 specimen;  order  Lepidoptera 
butterflies  and  moths,  17  specimens; 
order  Diptera,  flies,  11  specimens; 
order  Coleoptera,  beetles,  13  speci 
mens;  order  Hymenoptera,  bees, 
wasps,  etc.,  13  specimens;  total  73 
specimens. 

W i th  such  a  case  as  a  sample, it  is 
believed  that  students  in  many  of 
the  schools  will  be  inclined  to  follow 
up  the  study,  making  supplementary 
collections  and  learning  to  see  and 
interesting 
appreciate  the  wealth  of 
and  valuable  material  which 
is 
everywhere  available. 

T h e re  is  little  or  no  prejudice 
against  the  collection  of  insects,  and 
there  is  not  the  same  danger  of  ex 
termination  which  attends  the  form 
ing  of  herbariums  by  beginners 
in 
botany.  As  a  field  for  nature  study 
is  unrivaled,  the  only 
entomology 
drawback  being  the  surfeit  of  ma 
terial  and 
the  bewildering  number 
of  forms  which  makes  the  classifica 
tion  almost  hopeless  to  the  beginner. 
But,  recently,  several  excellent  ele 
mentary  text-books  in  this  line  have 
appeared,  and  the  really  enthusiastic 
teacher  will  have  little  difficulty 
in 
doing  good  work,  the  best  part  of  it 
being  that  the  pupils  will  be  able 
and  glad  to  find  the  specimens,  and, 
with  a  little  instruction,  to  prepare 
and  preserve  them. 

T he  present  plan  of  distribution 
the  principal  high 
to  supply 
is 
schools  first,  not  because 
they  are 
the  best  places  for  the  study  of  in 
sects  but  simply  because  it  is  impos 
sible  to  send  cases  to  all  the  schools, 
and  a  case  placed  in  the  high  school 
will  be  accessible  in  most  cases  to 
the 
least,  of  the  other 
schools.  Since  there  are  more  than 
one  hundred  first-class  high  schools 
in  the  State  it  will  not  be  possible 

teachers,  at 

to  supply  all  these  at  once,  but  be 
fore  another  winter  it  is  hoped 
that 
this  may  be  accomplished  and  that 
something  may  be  done  for  some  of 
the  lower  schools.  T h us  far  only 
25  cases  have  been  sent  out,  but  a 
second 
lot  of  25  is  nearly  ready, 
and  these  will  be  followed  as  soon 
as  possible  by  the  remainder. 
In 
order  that  there  may  be  no  appear 
the  schools  are 
ance  of  favoritism 
being  supplied  in  alphabetic  order. 
In  most  instances  thus  far  the  col 
lections  have  been 
received  very 
cordially — even  enthusiastically  — 
and  letters  from  teachers,  principals, 
and  superintendents  show  that  they 
appreciate  the  gifts.

THE  BUFFALO  SALE 

T he  steers  fed  by  the  experiment 
station  during  the  past  winter  were 
shipped  to  Buffalo  a  week  ago  last 
Saturday.  T h ey  had  been  fed 
in 
three  experiments.  At  first  equal 
areas  of  corn  were  cut,  one  plot  cut 
into  the  silo,  the  second  husked  and 
the  grain  ground,  and  the  third  fed 
from  the  shock.  T he  results  indi 
the  silage  was  an  eco 
cated 
nomical  feed  for  the  steers  but  had 
no  superiority  over  the  husked  and 
ground  corn  fed  with  the  shredded 
stalks. 
the 
shock  cost  the  least  and  gave  some 
what  the  least  gains. 

T he  corn  fed 

from 

that 

In  the  second  experiment,  corn 
meal  and  cottonseed  meal  were  con 
trasted  as  a  grain  feed.  Here 
the 
advantage  was  upon  the  side  of  the 
corn  meal.  Finally  corn  silage  was 
tried  as  a  fodder  for 
the 
steers.  T w e n ty  steers  made  a  total 
gain  of  1402  pounds  in  five  weeks, 
being 
the  daily  ration  per 
twenty-four  pounds  of  silage,  four 
pounds  hay,  three  pounds  molasses 
and  fifteen  pounds  grain  consisting 
of  ten  parts  corn  and  cob  meal  and 
one  pound  of  oil  meal.

steer 

T he  bunch  of  steers  was  a  very 
fine  one  and  were  well 
finished 
when  shipped.  They  then  averaged 
1311  pounds  and  brought  six  cents 
per  pound  here,  no  shrinkage.
