M.  A.  C  39, F R E S H M EN  0. 

In  the  game  last  Saturday  M.  A. 
team  from 
C.  gave  the  F r e s h m en 
U.  of  M.  the  worst  beating 
they 
have  received  since  their  organiza 
tion  four  years  ago.  T he  Freshies 
put  up  their  usual  scrappy  game, 
but  it  was  a  case  of  eleven  star  indi 
vidual  men  against  a  team  and  the 
team  won.  M.  A.  C.  kicked  off 
it  by 
and  the  Freshmen  advanced 
the 
short  gains  to  the  middle  of

downs.  After 
several  exchanges 
M.  A.  C.  finally  worked  the  ball  to 
the  15-yard  line  from  where  Mc-
K e n na  went  over  for  the  first  touch 
down. 

T he  balance  of  the  game  was 
fought  almost  entirely  in  F r e s h m en 
territory.  T h r ee  touchdowns  were 
added  in  the  first  half,  one  by  Bell, 
one  by  H a h n,  and  one  by  Doty 
from  the  15-yard  line  on  a  delayed 
pass.  T he  first  half  ended  with  a 
score  of  23.  T he second  half  opened 
auspiciously  for the  Freshmen.  M. 
A.  C.  was  forced  to  punt,  and  the 
Freshmen  carried  the  ball  35  yards 
by  some  rapid  fire  Michigan  foot 
ball  to  our  45-yard  line  before  they 
were  held.  T h at  was  the  nearest 
they  came  to  a  score,  the  balance  of 
the  half  being  a  series  of  steady 
marches  to  their  goal 
line.  Time 
after  lime  in  this  half,  F.  Kratz  and 
Ashley  opened  up  big holes  through 
wh'ch  Bell  went  for  gains  of  from 
15  to  25  yard*.  Several  long  gains 
were  also  made  by  Kratz,  Mc-

Sunday  morning  chapel  service 
was  conducted  by  R e v.  Dr.  Ed 
wards.  His  text  was  II  Timothy, 
3:16.  A nd  he  brought  out  in  his 
sermon  the  fact  that  all  scripture  is 
divinely  inspired  and  helpful. 

Mr.  Hurst  led  the  union  meeting 
Sunday  night,  on  the  subject  of 
standing  for  Christ.  He  showed 
how  a  man  w ho  stands  by  his  con

FARMERS' CLUB.

Again,  there  is  a tendency  to  give 
the  fatest  stock  the  first  premium, 
regardless  of  quality,  and  exhibitors 
realizing  this  fact  pay most  attention 
to  putting  on  fat. 
It  rests  with  the 
judge  to  correct  this,  as  well  as  the 
many  other  defects  in  our  Michigan

In  his  talk  on  Philippine  Forests, 
before  t h e . M.  A.  C.  foresters  Tues 
day  evening,  M r.  C. H.  Goetz  said 
that  there  were  nearly  fifty  million 
acres  of  forests  on  the  islands,  in 
which  nearly  400  species  of  hard 
woods, and  about  100 species  of  soft 
words  were 
represented.  A m o ng 
them  are  the  narra,  gum,  rubber 
tree,  ehony,  gutta  percha,  cocoanut, 
etc.  T he  highest  mountains—two 
to  three  thousand  feet—are  clothed 
to  the  very  top  with  forests.  T he

that  tunnels  have  to be  made  before 
one  can  pass  through  it.  Vegeta

T he  following  paper  was  read  by 

Mr.  F.  A.  Loew  : 

A b o ut  twenty  years  ago  Dr.  Beal 
started  a  botan'c  garden  at  M.  A. 
C.  to  be  an  addition  to  the  equip 
ment  of  the  botanical 
laboratory. 
T h e re  was  brought  into  this  garden

time  to  time  a  great  many 
native  plants  mostly  native  of  Mich 
igan,  until  at  the  present  time  there 
are  nearly  2,000  species  represent 
ing  nearly  all  the  orders  of  northern 
United  States. 
Some  orders  are 
much  better  represented  than  others 
on  account  of  the  importance,  also 
on  account  of  the  ease  with  which 
the  plants  of  some  orders  can  be 
made  to thrive  in  their  changed  con 
ditions. 

T he  order  Caprifoliaciae  is  well 
represented  because it  contains  many 
species  well  adapted  for  ornament 
ation  of  lawns. 

T he  order  Papilonacea:,  R o s a c e a, 
Labiatas  Umbelliferffi  and  Cruci-
feras  nearly  represent 
families 
which  furnish  plants  for  food  and 
medicine.

T he  order  Compositae,  a  com 
paratively  new  order,  receives  con 
siderable  attention,  although  in  com 
parison  to  its  size  it  is  of  but  little 
economic  value. 

T he  order  Gramineae 

is  repre 
sented  by  over 
species  of 
perennial  and  about  fifty  species  of 
annual  grasses.

Of  the  ferns  there  are  about  23 

species. 

Plants  which  are brought  into  the 
garden  from 
the  wild  are  given  lo-
ca*ion,  soil,  and  exposure  similar  to 
that  in  which  they  grew  naturally. 
T h u s,  when  the  huckleberry  bush 
was  brought  in  it  was  planted  in  a 
boggy  place;  the  cactus  in  sand, 
with  a  sunny  exposure  ; violets  were 
given  the  protection  of  an  arbor; 
wild  rice  in  the  pond,  and  the  ferns

last  summer  while 
F or  example, 
working  among 
the  Berberries,  I 
found  a  branch  which  had  varigat-
ed  leaves, 
to 
me  that  this  might  be  propagated 
and  probably  breed  a  new  ornamen 
tal  plant.  Dr.  Beal  noticed  on  one 
of  his  rosebushes  one  branch  which 
had  blossoms  of  a different  shade  of 
the 
color 
hush.  He  at  once  layered  it  for  a 
new  plant.  He  also  noticed 
that 
among 
the  Rudheckias  hirta  or 
"  Black  E y ed  Susan  "  of  the  neigh 
there  were  many  varia 
borhood, 
tions in  the  ray  flowers.  He  brought 
a  dozen  or  more  of  these  selected 
variations  into 
the  garden.  Some 
of  the  blossoms  were  very  small, 
not  more  than  an  inch  in  diameter;

others  were  5  inches 
Some  had  but  8  ray  flowers,  others 
had  3 0;  some  had  ray  flowers  with

some  had  ray  flowers  which  were 
tips,  others  had 
shredded  at 
them  quilled.  T h e se  examples  to 
the  horticultural  student  would  fur

T he  student  cannot  help  being 
impressed  with  the  group  of  Bar

of  shrubs  growing  together  that  the 
student  can  make  comparisons  as'to 
the  effect  each  will  produce  when 
planted  in  the  lawn. 

It  is  of  great  importance  to  the 
horticulturist  to  know  how  to  make 
a  given  piece  of  land  produce  the 
most.  Lesions 
in  intensive  horti 
culture  can  be  learned  by  watching 
in 
the  operation  of 
the  Botanic  garden.  T he  effects  of 
thorough  tillage  and  a  liberal  use  of 
barnyard  manure  can be  watched  and 
conclusions  drawn  either  positively 
or  negatively.

in 

A  sad  accident  occurred  at 

the 
gravel  pit  west  of  the  College  on 
three  men 
last  Saturday.  While 
loading  gravel,  a 
were  at  work 
them 
large  mass  of  earth  above 
gave  way  and  buried  one  of 
the 
w o r k m e n,  W m.  Burns,  to  a  depth 
of  three  feet.  T he  mass  struck  the 
the  back  and 
unfortunate  man 
when  taken  from  the  pit  all  efforts 
to  revive  him  proved  useless,  as  no 
bones  were  broken 
it  is  believed 
death  was  caused  by  suffocation. 
M r. Burns came here about six weeks 
ago  from  Bad  Axe  and  during  that 
time  has  been  employed  by  con 
tractors  Murray  and  Ayers.  While 
we  have  no  knowledge  as 
to  the 
conditions  at  the  pit,  it  is  k n o wn 
that  the  contractors  have  been  very 
careful  in  guarding  against  accidents 
in  the  excavating  for 
the  tunnels. 
Time  and  expense  have  not  been 
considered  where 
there  was  any 
danger  at  all. 

T he  College  has  p u r c h a s ed 
twenty  grade  cows  for  experimental 
purposes.  These  are  to  be  divided 
into  four  lots  of  five  each,  making 
uniformity  the  basis  of  the  division. 
T he  females  of  lot  N o.  1 and  their 
female  offspring  will  be  bred  to  a 
continuous 
line  of  Holstein  bulls; 
likewise  those  of  lot  N o.  2  to  Jersey 
bulls ;  those  of  lot  No.  3  to  Guern 
sey  bulls,  and  those  of  lot  N o.  4  to 
dual  purpose  shorthorns.  T he  pri 
mary  object  is  to  determine  what 
can  be  accomplished  by  definite 
lines  of  breeding,  and  to

T he  lecture  on  Friday  evening  by 
Sam  Jones  was  well  attended  and, 
judging  from  the  almost  continuous 
laughter,  was  enjoyed.  M r.  Jones 
chose  for  his  subject  "Medley  of 
Philosophy,  Facts  and  F u n ."  He 
began  by  analyzing  the  terms  phi 
fact,  but  seemed  to 
losophy  and 
think  that  his  audience  needed  more 
than  either  of  these  and  pro 
fun 
ceeded  to  deal  it  out 
in  generous 
doses.  After  an  hour  of  joking  in 
which  nearly  everybody  and  every 
thing,  except  prohibition  and  Sam 
Jones,  received  their  share  of  com 
ment  and  criticism,  he  settled  down 
to  seriousness  and  gave  a  good  talk

and  to  those  who 
know  him  that  is,  perhaps,  enough 
to  say.  While  he  hns  a  crude  way 
of  presenting  his  subject,  there  is 
this  a  seriousness 
underlying  all 
which  appeals  to  many,  and  though 
the  thrusts  are  keen  and  many  even 
coarse,  yet  the 
thoughts  conveyed 
usually  carries with it  a  lesson  worth 
remembering.

Bessie  Bemis  is  to  have  charge  of 
the  instruction  in  sewing,  under  the 
supervision  of  Mrs.  Haner.  T he 
following  from  the  Journal 
fully 
explains 
the  attitude  of  Lansing 
people toward  the effort  being made : 
"  We  bespeak  for  Miss  Bemis  the 
hearty  co-operation  of  the  teachers 
and  parents  of 
the  seventh  and 
eighth  grades,  and  also  the  kindly 
interest  of  the women  of  Lansing  in
