Mr.  Barlow  is  conducting  a  series 
of  experiments  with  cabbage  and 
allied  plants.  He  has 
inoculated 
s e v e r al  healthy  specimens  with 
Pseudomonas  campestris  and  symp 
toms  are  already  appearing.  Quite 
a  few  cabbage  and  cauliflowers  on 
horticultural  plats  are  in  a  diseased 
condition. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  American 
Pomological  society  in  Boston 
the 
following  M.  A.  C.  graduates  were 
on  the  program  in  addition  to  those 
mentioned  in  a  recent  issue  of T HE

R.  Taft  was  reelected  treasurer  and 
Hon.  C.  J.  Monroe  was  chosen 
vice  president  for  Michigan. 

T h r ee  judges  will  be  appointed 
for  each  division  and  the  three  con 
testants  receiving  the  highest  marks 
will  be  eligible  for  the  next  series. 
This  will  consist  of  twelve  speakers 
from  which  six  will  be  selected  and 
finally 
to

24  steers  were  recently  purchased

cost  was  $ 3 90  per  hundred  and  the 
average  weight  was  933  pounds. 
T he  steers  are  shorthorn  grades  two 
years  old.  They  will  be divided  into 
four  lojs.  One  lot  will  be fed  shock 
corn,  one  corn  stover,  corn  and  cob 
meal,  the  third  corn  ensilage  and 
the  fourth  beet  pulp.  T he  object 
will  be  to  test  the  relative  feeding

One  gram  of  ice  from  the  College 
ice  house  showed  over  15,000  germs. 
A  culture  was  grown  at body  temper 
ature,  thus  destroying  a  large  num 
ber  of  the  original  germs,  and 
in 
jected  into  a  guinea  pig  with  the  re 
sult  that  the  pig's  death  occurred 
inside  of 
ten,  hours.  This  sudden 
death  was  undoubtedly  due  to  pois 
on  generated  in  the  culture  and  not 
to  the  action  of  germs  directly  on 
the  pig.  A  large  number  of  species 
them 
of  germs  were  found  among 
rule 
being  sewage  germs.  As  a 

there  are  enough  parasitic  germs  to 
destroy  the  effect  of  the  dangerous 
ones. 
In  fact  this  is  our  only  hope 
for  safety.  At  the  same  time  it  will 
readily  occur  to anyone  that  to  drink 
ice  water  or  ice  tea  is  liable  to  have 
serious  results. 
It  will  be  safer  to 
"boil  the  ice."
