Macfadyen did not appear as a soloist, the exacting task of accompanist with entire satisfaction.

He pleased the audience greatly by the "Bedouin Love S o n g ," which he gave in ex cellent style instead of the selection from Herodiade. Particular men tion should be made of his rendition of Morgan's " Hindu Lament," a style of music not often heard, but full of subtle meaning. splendid Miss Sammis' voice showed to excellent advantage in her first number, but she was spec ially enjoyed in the shorter songs which gave less opportunity for brilliant execution and more for ex pressive interpretation and clear soft tones. Miss Jackson handles the violin with rare ability. H er technique seems to be well nigh perfectand her work in harmonics and on the G string quite marvelous to the ama teur.

TUESDAY, MAR. 6,1906. speaking of the Round-up the Michigan F a r m er says, " The attendance at every session was good and the programs were all of absorbing interest, but not the least important feature of the insti tute, so far as influence upon its Michigan agriculture is concerned, was the attendance of many stu dents from the college at every ses sion. No man, and particularly no young man, who intends to follow the occupation of farming, can at tend one of these institutes without being thereby, greatly benefited and it is a matter for general con gratulation that so many representa tive farmers from all parts of Mich igan and so many prospective far mers from the College were in at tendance at the Round u p ." T he Farmer then states that the amount of good coming these young men by attendance at such meetings where practical subjects are discussed bv practical men, can hardly be estimated. to the T h at the college men share the same idea that the F a r m er here ex presses was proven by large number of classes dismissed during the week of the Institute.

Soft and low ar"e its tones in the homelife, inspiring mutual love. and sympathy. Strong and insist ent are its accents, as it presides over society's great struggles, and urges reconciliation and iaercy be tween man and man. Bold and fearless becomes its voice, as it chal lenges attention in the great conflicts of nations, and compels them to abide by its decisions. Y et neither in the individual nor the state does conscience spring like Minerva, full armed from the head of J o v e. On the contrary, in the in dividual it awakens with the life of THE M. A. C. RECORD. the infant, and grows and strength ens with the strength of the child. It is nurtured by a mother's prayer, and cherished by a father's warning voice. Harkening- to its murmur, the little child bows his head and pleads sorrow for his wrong-doing. Wrestling in vain against the inner force, the hardened criminal surren ders himself at last to justice. the nation N or is the g r o w th of conscience in perceptible. less A m o ng primitive peoples, there ex ists merely the instinct of fidelity to a name. T he whole state centers about a chief. His word, whatever it may be is ordained as right, and the public conscience, even as far as voluntary sacrifice, responds with out a protest. Slowly the sense of national morality develops; strug gling upward through bewildering tumult, and bloodshed, confusion, until form. it assumes a definite T he nation must now assume re the sponsibilities : it must regard limitations of power. These re sponsibilities and limitations record themselves in a Magna Charta or a Constitution of 1787. To us of America, it must always be the chief glory of our red, white, and blue that it is the emblem of a nation whose conscience, from its very birth in those first weak set tlements at Jamestown or Plymouth, has been peculiarly sensitive to the cause of right, and has experienced an aggressive and rapid g r o w t h. Be it now our task to point out three steps in this wonderful development. Never, since the fugitives whom Moses led forth from E g y pt until the landing at Plymouth Rock, some three centuries ago, has a mere hand ful of outcasts been destined so to influence the world's future history through the establishment of a n ew conception in government. Those stern old ancestors of ours transport ed to a virgin soil the habits, ambi tions, character of an old civiliza tion, but in this new land, under a favorable they nur environment, tured a type of manhood, intellectu ally and morallv new. Here in this N ew England, they conceived and incorporated into their political faith the idea of the inherent dignity of the freeman, a dignitv which made him the peer of any rank or order of men. They had wearied of roy alty and nobilitv. T h ey hungered for a tangible species of freedom, a freedom limited, not bv artificial bonds of caste, but only by the free dom of every other sovereign Amer ican. T he test of their devotion to their new principle arose. Taxation representation was plain without subordination of freeman free man, a palpable injustice for men of English descent. A moral wrong was being done them bv their breth ren across the waters and they were at the parting of the wavs. W e re thev to remain silent and humbly and submit? said " N o ." And, true to its decis ions, they sealed with their blood the "principle that all men are created free and equal, and established for the heaven-born ever among men dignitv of the manhood that gazes out upon the world with level eyes and erect form. Conscience awoke to And, this, the nucleus and core of real Americanism, thev taught their children, while these latter, in turn, inoculated with it the sturdy immi grants who swarmed to this prom ised land. Men who were such strict adherents to moral duty surrounded the immigrant that he soon forgot the class hatred and strife of the old. world. His heart was warmed and his dormant conscience awakened by the earnestness and unselfishness of a people w ho aimed to establish _the divine principle of equality for his common interest and by his com mon consent. And so, this puritan conscience with for manhood, and its horror of servile life complacency passed of the nation, a magnificent legacy for future generations. its reverence into the and from territory, and Adherence to the voice of con science was the creed of the church ; it Was the aim of the institution of learning. Y et in the rush of subse quent events the political conscience inert. T he became sluggish rapid development of the young re public with its imperial resources, its. far-stretching its material possibilities, drew away the the precipice over attention the nation was which trembling. W h en the nation had enshrined in its conscience the word equality ; it had not for a moment considered the alien race of slaves so rapidly growing the country. T he wording of the prin ciple was comprehensive, but the slave was below even the term man, and had in the minds of the f ramers of the Declaration of Independence no connection whatever with the principles enunciated. in the very heart of tide. the very T h ey began Soon, however, it became plainly evident that the N o r th was outstrip ping the South, that the slave trade was poisoning life-blood of the nation. While the mass of the people were engaged in amass ing fortunes, there remained a few • w ho were not carried away by the popular to see clearly the shameful hypocrisy of the nation's position — that while idealizing the dignitv of God-given manhood, it should hold in bondage a race whose manhood was equal with that of its own sons. W i th tongue and pen, forgetful of danger and of the interests of self, these few clear-sighted heroes went up and down the land arousing men from the moral stupor and appealing to in dividual conscience for God's justice to all humanity. the one side stood that N or was that appeal in vain. T he concrete right and issue between wrong: was dissociated from bewil- dering political entanglements, and there came forth a true American to direct the affairs of state. Duty, not less than policy, prompted him to formulate a definite line of action. By the fearless performance of his the official duties, : he stimulated moral nature of the whole nation, and conscience, reawakened, gave power and intention to the national the will. On the north, rigid, determinded national honor must be saved. On the other stood the south, aggres sive, enthusiastic the belief of state soverignty. A l a s! Columbia was destined to feel once more the pangs and sufferings of warfare. W ar was no longer a possibility : it w as here in all its stern reality. T h o se boys in blue who came in re the call for volunteers, sponse entered to establish once more a principle, a principle, which was to become a living virtue in the heart, and soul of every A m e r ican, a principle which gave moral ity, freedom, sunshine—Yea, even the sacred ties of home to the slave. to the struggle in T h at tremendous conflict, not only purified and enlarged the national that conscience, but it demonstrated even in nations, the performance of noble deeds is greater than the con ception of high ideals, and extended to all in the land the dignity of the freeman irrespective of race or color. Once more in the present age this principle of national life, this unsel fish devotion to the dignity of man hood, has been still farther extended. U n d er our own flag, indeed, no man, high or low, was now denied vhis rights. But beyond our borders, in the neighboring islands of the sea,' men still were bowed beneath the yoke of oppression, and conscience began to say that a further duty lay upon us. A general sympathy, not alone for those who are a part of our nation, but for these other down trodden human beings, began to fill our hearts with pity. Within the waters of our continent and almost within sight of our very shores, mil itary crimes against humanity more horrible than any that the annals of our history have ever recorded, were being perpetrated. Many of our own people had gone down from Jerusalem to Jericho and had fallen among brigands. Every fresh hor ror sounded as a trumpet peal to American sympathies. Cries of in dignation and half suppressed rage were heard land. At last American patience was ex hausted. T he call to duty sounded clear and plain. T he haughty op pressors were crushed, and the poor reconcentradoed peon began to re gard himself as a freeman. We did not interfere for self interest, but in the interest of all humanity. As a proof of this, Cuba is free, and, when she will have assimilated the con science of the guardian republic, she from dark to emerge is destined ness and assume the full share of earth's sunshine. throughout our in its embrace.

And last, but sublimest of all in the boundless ness of its sacrifice, the nation gave its sons and treasures, that, to the farther islands of the sea, God's blessing of free manhood might come. its the arbiter of A nd what of reward ? A nation cannot look forward to a future life. Here and now, if at all, the recogni tion of its deeds must come. A nd that recognition has come and is coming in exceeding measure. We justice are become In the recent among the nations. struggle between Russia and Japan, our unselfishness and sympathy were recognized where no other voice could for a moment be heard. T he useless and stupendous sacrifice of human lives cast a gloom over all the civilized world, and all turned to America as the nation whose mo tives were entirely unselfish, and as the power which could successfully secure j^eace. American conscience responded, and the butchery ceased. And, so, because of this national con scientiousness, to right, this ever growing sympathy, America is ordained the throne of Justice, the promoter of peace, in the march toward ideals of right eousness the leader among the na tions of the earth. this adherence G E R T R U DE P E T E R S, Agricultural College, Mich.- THE M.

T he experiment was carried on fif teen years ago and the machinery for handling the beets was most in that sufficient. he the proper machinery, could be reduced one-half. He then outlined a method for producing roots. T he Prof, stated cost, with thought that spoke of Prof. Shaw another common objection to roots, namely, that animals fed on roots dressed a smaller per cent. He stated that when roots were fed in large quan large tities they tended the viscera, and animal to dress out a low per cent. in He said that roots should be fed to they tend small quantities, that this might cause to produce keep the digestive track in good or der, and that they produced a larger growth of bone and muscle. On account of this growth they make a good food for young animals. T he professor went on to show that all the stock grown on the farm en joyed roots, and that certain ones were best suited to certain kinds of animals. In conclusion he said that beets and corn silage should not be com pared, that the beets were not a ba T he sic food, while the silage was. one high in nitrogen, the other high in carbo-hydrates and each having a place among the stock feed.
