T he first session at the college was held on Tuesday afternoon. Hon. C. F. Moore pre sided. T he afternoon was largely taken up with reports and sugges tions. About 300 one and two-day institutes were held during the year slightlv and in spite of last year better severe snow-blockades. An evening program of a general nature was favored. After adjournment, Instructor L. G.

T he following qualifica tions were deemed essential: Good voice, good articulation, good pres ence, good health, good judgment, teacher, h o n e s t y, enthusiasm, a bright and witty, good sense, famil iar with his work, use no notes and have no hobbies. N. I. Moore pointed out the im portance of advertising. Have pro grams ready early, publish them in the local papers, use posters and have them well distributed. C. C. Lillie said that a program was for the purpose of entertaining or for instruction or for both. He claimed that local recitations, music, etc., should not be overdone. Pres ent programs crowded. are F e w er subjects and more thorough discussions were advocated. Mrs. F. D. Saunders said that a woman's section should have music local papers and round table discus sion. P r o g r am should never exceed length. two and one-half hours in too Mrs. Partch agreed with this. One of her remarks was, " We are all laborers or we are good for noth- ing." L. W. Oviatt it would story favored a explain a point. when Charts and instruments were ad vised. A good illustration is w o r th much. Hon. R. D. Graham presided at this session. He opposed the idea of paying institute secretaries and said that the best work was often done where there was no pay. In fact no wage system could be devised which would do justice. T he work was of a public nature and must be done for the love of it. A ny other basis will cause failure. H o n. Fred M. W a r n er presided at the session on Wednesday morn ing. After the invocation by R e v. Bard, of Lansing, Pres. J. L. Sny der, in a few well selected remarks, to M. A. C. bade all welcome " E v e r y t h i ng is yours, take what you want." it and C. C. Lillie, '84, addressed the meeting on the "Dairy Herd and Its Care." He gave a brief history of dairy breeds, and said that each one should select his favorite breed, take care of improve it. Each individual cow should be test ed. Determine the amount of milk and its quality. Test four consecu tive milkings and secure a year's test, not 30 days. A cow should pro duce 350 to 400 pounds of butter per year. Weed out the poor cows. T he sire should have a good pedi gree and should be a good individ ual. T he test of a sire is the qual ity of the heifers produced. K e ep sires till they are 7 or 8 years old. Dairy cows should be kept in comfortable, dry, well lighted and ventilated barns. T h ey are sensitive to changes. Feed liberally, raise the feed. Clover hay and en silage are excellent. Raise some Canada peas and feed pea meal. This can be supplemented with bran or oil meal. M r. Lillie is a very vigorous, clear speaker, and his re marks brought out a good discus sion. N. P. Hull said that the dairy cows of Michigan were underfed. Rations should be balanced and pal atable. Keep things neat and clean. In feeding a cow, a certain amount is necessary for the body, the next part must pay for the first, for itself and also produce a profit. T he last part simply pays for itself, and the rest is all profit. Consequently feed ing a cow up to her limit is of great importance and is the key to success ful dairying. them Major H. E. Alvord, Chief of Dairy Division, U. S. Dept. of A g riculture, spoke on " M a r k et Milk." He discouraged pasteurization and said that milk should be produced that heat was in such a condition unnecessary the bacteria. to kill Good location, good roads, a build ing good enough the owner were deemed essential to successful dairying.

T he formation of the an courts and the judicial system of the state were explained. Special laws for fruit-growers were discussed. T he form of contracts and their in terpretation were described. His ad vice was, " Keep out of the courts." Since Mr. Collingwood has been a successful attorney for many years, this counsel is well worth keeping. A volley of questions followed the address. T he master of the State Grange, George B. Horton, presided over the afternoon session on Wednes day. He dwelt on education in his opening remarks and spoke particu larly of the influence of the grange, farmers' clubs and institutes. T he Industrial School for Boys rendered excellent music during the afternoon. T he chorus was large, well drilled, and sang in perfect harmony. One cannot help but notice the order, exactness and effici these boys do ency with which everything. Their manner was gentlemanly and a degree of intelli gence and alertness was expressed in their faces that is rarely observed in any other school. T he chorus was heartily applauded and respond ed just as enthusiastically. revolution Dr. Marshall discussed Bacteria in milk. He had numerous samples of milk which were infected with different germs. T he action on the milk was explained carefully. P u re milk requires much care and train ing. No is advocated improvement. To but simply an one flask of milk there had been added 1-30 of an ounce of ice. T he casein had been precipitated and the curd was being dissolved rapidly leaving nothing but a watery solu tion.

E a ch cow is weighed every two weeks, a careful account of her feed is kept as well as the amount of milk produced and the per cent, of butter fat. T he value of each cow is thus determined. Under ordinary conditions of care and feeding the following records were made: Jersey, 10^2 months, 7186 pounds of milk and 492 pounds of butter. Brown Swiss, 1 0^ months, 10151 pounds of milk and 456 pounds of butter. Short H o r n, 1 0^ months, 456 pounds of butter. R ed Polled, 1 0^ months, 7444 pounds of milk and 343 pounds of butter.

T he tests of efficiency are the scales, the Babcock test and the ability to produce a calf which shall be typi cal in every respect. T he feeding of a balanced ration and growing the necessary protein on the farm were strongly advised. T he tem perature of a barn should not go above 4 50 and the herd should be exercised out doors. His advice fewer was, keep more cows and herds. T he two-cow dairy pro duces nearly all the poor butter. Such a dairy cannot afford sanitary surroundings. Secure clean milk, advertise it and make people pay for it. T he consumption of milk can be doubled by putting better milk in the market. Feed the cows after the milk at milking and remove T he cows the barn. once from must be healthy and all visible dirt must be removed. Aeration is un necessary in the care of pure milk. T he discussion of this paper was general and many questions were asked and answered. F. W. Robison, chemist of the experiment station, gave one of the most valuable talks of the irstitute on "Commercial Feeding Stuffs and Their Value." All the principal feeding stuffs were discussed, their value and cost compared as to pro tein content. Mr. Robison had pre the pared a large chart showing content of about a dozen feeding stuffs. Bran is not only one of the cheapest, but one of the best. Sur rounding states have laws regulating commercial feeds. Since Michigan has none, it has become the dumping ground of inferior material.

A resolu tion was passed unanimously to ask the next legislature to pass a law feeding requiring stuffs by the College. the analysis of that Major H. E. Alvord, of Wash illustrated ington, D. C, gave an lecture on "Dairying in F r a n c e ." Some interesting views were shown of the cattle, sheep, goats, dairy barns, creameries and cheese factor ies. H o n. J. Hamilton, of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, spoke on " An Ideal H i g h w ay System." Hon. A. E. Palmer on Michigan H i g h w a y s, and H o n. H. S. Earle on Coopera tion in H i g h w ay Building. All these gentlemen agreed in the main points. Each developed his subject well. A good road is good in bad weather. T he township should be the smallest unit system. T oo many overseers with too many different ideas cause a useless expen in poor diture of money and result roads. T he nation and the state should assist in building good roads. Otherwise poor communities will always have poor roads. in our N. A. Clapp, president of the State Association of Farmers' Clubs, opened the meeting on Thursday forenoon. Corn and Its Products was the subject of an address by Prof. J.A.Jeffrey. Many samples of the va rious products were shown. 40,000,- 000 bushels of corn are yearly used for the production of corn oil. Corn starch, gluten meal, dextrin, glucose and glucose svrup were presented in their order. One factory uses 10,000 bushels of corn per day in the man ufacture of syrup. T he discussion was opened by Mr. Reynolds, of Owosso, who took up the practical side of the question. T he subject of growing and selecting seed, how to store it and improve it were dis cussed. Mr. Reynolds has corn the rotation and follow clover finds it excellent. T he importance of good tillage was emphasized. in T he sugar beet crop was handled by L. W. Oviatt and H. B. Cannon. It was advocated that beets should have a regular place in the rotation and that the keynote to success was —" Be on time." Methods of plant ing, thinning, harvesting and storing were described. T he general opin ion was that beets should not be allowed to freeze under any consid eration. A covering of marsh hay and soil was advised in case they had to be stored. About 200 sq. in. were required for each beet in order to secure the best results with the least amount of labor. C. C. Lillie gave one of his characteristic and interesting discussions. Cucumbers and how to grow them was the title of M r. M. L. Dean's talk. Michigan is the largest pro ducer of cucumbers of any state in the union. T he soil must be well fertilized, well pulverized and must retain the spring moisture. Plenty of seed must be used to allow for the destruction of plants by worms and insects. T he best methods of planting, weeding, picking and mar keting were described. Messrs. Johnson and Ballingerled in the dis cussions, which were lively. Robt. Gibbons, Editor of the Farm and Live Stock ^Journal, had charge of the afternoon session on Thursday. After a vocal solo by Miss Clara Palmer, Mr. Gibbons opened the meeting with a short ad- drees on the importance of agricul ture. He considered the production of beef of prime importance since no vegetarian nation had ever been able to successfully compete with a meat eating people. T he A m e r i c an laborers are the best fed, clothed and housed workers in the world and are for that reason more efficient. Beef is one of their daily foods. H o n. W. A. Harris was unavoid ably absent and Hon. L. W. Watkins was ill with La grip. As a result, the the afternoon were discussions of more or less of an impromptu nature the less interesting. H. but none H. Hinds opened the regular work with a talk on economic feeding of steers. He considered the silo a good adjunct. Corn supplemented with a legume such as clover or alfalfa had proved the best feed in his experience. T he alfalfa ques tion was again thoroughly discussed. Some found it easy to grow, others difficult. Prof. Smith was non- the station commital, claiming had not done enough work to warrant a definite conclusion. that M r. J. H. Prost now rendered a fine clarinet solo which was enthusi astically received and encored. T he care and feeding of sheep was next taken up. A well ventilated barn, cool and dry, pure water and lots of it, a quiet shepherd, good clover hay and corn and a feeding period of not over 60 days were considered the essentials. Ensilage was not favored. Pasture should be changed every two weeks in order to prevent certain parasitic diseases. A lively discussion followed. a Peter Vorheis, of Pontiac, said: T he feeding of lambs in Michi important and gan is becoming an industry, generally many more being fed than are bred and grown here, and the number of lamb feeding a farmers who make permanent branch of their annual operations is increasing. profitable As it is with other industries lamb feeding is not always rose colored, taken one year with another but with judicious management I think it will prove as profitable as any other branch of farming, although we may not be able to count all the profits in dollars and cents. it It affords an excellent home mar ket for the hay and coarse grains furnishes raised upon the farm, and profitable employment during the the is winter months. Besides means of enriching and keeping up the fertility of our farms from which we can harvest larger and better crops. F or this last reason it is diffi cult to estimate definitely the profits resulting feeding. from a season's To be sure the man about to engage in lamb feeding has many things to consider if successful. First to be considered is the cost of production of the finished product. Upon this depends largely whether lamb feed ing is a success or failure. T he cost of lambs, value of hay and grain fed, freight, getting them from, and ex pense of getting to market as well as judicious factors which have a bearing on the result. Like any other industry, it must be managed with business-like sagacity to insure success. are all feeding As alfalfa has not become (and per haps never will be) our most reliable forage crop our main dependence is clover hay, and corn silage, and if we intend to make lamb feeding a part of our business we should so rotate our crops so as to have a good supply of this product to market in form of wool and the condensed mutton. Under these conditions the method or practice of buying west ern lambs of light weight about the time you wish to put them in the feeding shed, and if your rough feed is sufficient to allow it, it has proven good policy to select lambs carrying a good fleece of wool and when the latter is in good demand better re sults are obtained by shearing the lambs from three to six weeks be fore putting them on the market. This should certainly be done if they are to be carried until April or May and especially if infested with ticks. the six weeks when W i th this method it would be best to start in with about one-fourth pound corn per head twice a day, last increasing gradually until month or they should get all the grain they will clean up. Sometimes other grain than corn can be fed to advantage. Have known of rye being fed for exclusive ration and better prices realized for the market. Sometimes oats can be fed in connection with corn to good advantage in order to balance up the ration, especially if obliged to feed hay that is mostly timothy. it than if sold in It is necessary that good clean water should be where they can get it at all times and almost as necessary that a part of the ration be of a succulent nature, such as roots or silage. Have had best success in different methods practiced, by feed ing grain (mostly corn) and silage in morning, a little bright straw at noon, corn and clover hay at night, and as long as the price of beef and mutton stand in the present ratio would prefer to sell the forage and coarse grains g r o wn on the farm to the animal with the golden hoof and think the time is coming when we can fill our feeding pens with lambs grown on the cheap lands of northern Michigan. N. A. Clapp, of South Lyon, dis cussed profitable pork production. He said that the hog had lifted more mortgages and brought more com forts to the farm than any other ani mal. Greater care in feeding and breeding would increase the results. T he hog thrives on a large variety of foods. M a ny of these would other wise be practically wasted. He be comes the gleaner in case cattle are fed corn in shock. Skim milk, whey, dish water, wastes of fruit, etc., can all be used to make a cheap food for hogs. A hog should have brains.

Spray ing trees in blossom will kill bees in quest of nectar. visiting Bees, however, may scatter germs of pear blight. Even if no bees, no blight were true, it would also be true in a large measure, no bees no fruit. Orchards in which bee hives are kept than bear more orchards not readily accessible to bees.

Prof. Hedrick that the bee is found by experiment of It little use in a greenhouse. will not work and is frequently ill tempered. in order fruit Mr. Geo. E. R o we in discussing this paper brought out the idea that a farmer had just as much right to keep bees as a specialist w ho might be located in the same neighborhood. It seems some bee-keepers claim the exclusive right to certain territory. Mr. Rowe found it advantageous to have his colonies near the strawberry bed. In case of an hour's sunshine, the bed was covered with bees which would not have been the case if the bees had been kept at a distance. Every fruitgrower should keep bees since they are essential to the pro duction of fruit. C. F. Hale, Pres. of the State Horticultural Society, was chairman Friday p. m.

He favored planting the trees 14 ft. apart each way, cultivating the soil each week until the middle of J u ly or first of August, and then sowing a cover crop. He has the pigs pick up the THE M. A.

Stearns and discussed in a very practical, business-like way by H o n. R. D. Graham. T he soil, varieties, diseases, thinning, picking, and mar keting were described. Many valu able suggestions were made, and numerous questions asked. M r. Graham is a very successful grower of peaches though not living in the so-called peach district. " Their W. W.

Use for apples, not for other crops. A good apple orchard in Michigan is better than an orange orchard in California. Mr. A. P.

Crosby open ed his address by giving a rapid review of agricultural education in the U. S. There are now 40 col leges which give the M. S. degree for work along agricultural lines. One and two-year courses have been established in several institutions of a grade below college work. H i gh schools in Ohio, Missouri, Wiscon sin, Illinois, N. Carolina, Alabama and Georgia have courses in agricul Schools of correspondence, ture. reading courses, e x p e r i m e n t al unions, nature study, all have done much to advance agricultural educa tion. Numerous texts have been written. A m o ng the most promin ent authors are Bailey, Bessey, Burkett and James. Germany was the first to establish school gardens. In America, Boston was the pioneer. Each child has a small plat. Vegetables are raised and sold. T he money is deposited in a bank and when purchases are made, each child writes a check. thus combined with Business school work.

Interesting is T he methods of beautifying Illus school yards were explained. trations schools from Rochester were used. Country children are just as interested as city children. This fact was demonstrated from work done in Illinois. Mr. Crosby strongly advocated the introduction of agricultural sub jects into our county normals and high schools. M r. A. B. Lightfoot, of A nn Ar bor, next gave his illustrated lecture the " R u r al Schools of Michi on gan." T he conditions as they actu ally exist were illustrated with the stereopticon. Consolidated schools from Ohio and Indiana were shown as well as some of the Michigan high schools. T he contrast between these schools and our rural schools was well brought out. T he idea that the country boy or girl has the same chance as the city boy or girl was exploded. In many districts in Michigan school taxes are exceed ingly high. In several they ran as high as #4:63 per $ 100 valuation. Schools in such districts are poorly equipped, the instruction is inferior and only five months of "school is done. Mr. Lightfoot keeping" the revolution of our argued for taxation present method of school and organization. T he unit of tax ation must be at least as large as the township.

School books in Indiana are supplied by state con tract. As a result, most of the ordi nary texts can be purchased there at one-half of the price paid in Michi gan.

To the Chairman and members of the State Farmers Round-up at the Agricultural College, February 23— 26. Your committee do most heartily endorse the work done by Prof. L. R. Taft as Superintendent of Insti tutes. We would also recommend the erection of a stock judging pavilion on the college grounds. We favor the passage of a law looking to the proper branding of all so called "stock foods" with an analysis of its contents on every package. We favor the further extension of the one-day institute plan. We also favor the elimination of the present restriction in regard to the Legislative appropriation for the Agricultural College in the so called one-tenth mill bill. We desire to acknowledge our indebtedness to the newspapers of the state especially to The Detroit Tribune for reporting our meetings, also to the faculty of the College for their courtesy and kindness, and to the railroads for reduced rates to the institute.

In the course of one of the numerous discussions that character ized the meeting of the farmers at Lansing, one man complained of the Agricultural Col something at then lege—no matter what—and explained that it was doubtless the fault of the legislature, adding that as soon as a man showed particular competence in any direction at the college he was tempted away bv an offer of more salary from some other institution.
