No calamity has be fallen us as a State nor has the hand of affliction been laid upon any com munity. Thanksgiving D ay w as established and observed by people w ho had far less to be thankful for than the poorest of us have today. T he debt we owe the N ew E n g land pioneer should not be forgotten and the observance of this day will be a blessing if it serves no other purpose than to recall to those now living the sturdy virtues of those who laid broad and deep the found ation for the Government we all be lieve to be the best on earth. Civilization in such a country carries with it constantly increasing responsibilities. Problems growing out of the enormous increase of wealth confronts us as a nation, and that we have a fearless, honest President is not the least of the rea sons w hy we should be thankful. N o w, therefore, by virtue of au thority in me vested, I do hereby designate and set apart T h u r s d a y, N o v. 29, 1906, as a day upon which the people of Michigan, laying aside their usual avocations, should assem ble in their usual places of worship and reverently thank God for His manifold blessings. After that has been done, let our homes be made places of good cheer and recrea'ion for every member of the family. Forgetting the cares and duties of business life for that day will make us better fitted on the morro .v for our allotted tasks. F R ED M. W A R N E R, Governor. DEBATING CLUB.

To the RECORD: On my return from a trip through the N ew England states I am asked to make a brief statement as to some of I the M. A. C. men whom visited. It was my good fortune to be del egated by the Board to attend the inauguration of Kenyon Butterfield, M. A. C. 1891, as President of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. This institution has a beautiful cam pus differing widely and chaiacter- istically from ours in that if is open, the buildings wide apart, the drives long and the lawns very broad. F r om the college buildings looking to the west is a beautiful valley bounded on the farther side by abrupt hills. In fact in whatever direction you look from the campus your eyes are repaid by scenes of rural beauty. T he college is not equipped as is M. A. C. in all its departments, because it is j ounger and because in Massachusetts agri culture is not the dominent pursuit. T he attendance of students has rap idly increased of late however, and the college, under the wise adminis tration of President Butterfield, is sure to exercise a very fundamental and helpful influence on the agricul ture of the state. T he exercises of the inauguration were impressive and well planned. T he administration of the college was placed entirely in the hands of President Butterfield, w ho was in formed that his decisions in all mat ters of administration would be con sidered final by the board. D r. E d w a r ds of R h o de Island was pres ent at the inauguration, as was also Miss Marguerite Barrows, w ho is attending Smith College at North ampton, a few miles north of A m herst, and connected with the latter city by a trolley line. Note that the city of Amherst has two colleges for men and at Northampton one col- legefor women, with 1,320 students, then calculate the profits of the trolley lines which connect the two places. From A m h e r st the journey lay to R h o de Island by w ay of Boston. At Kingston Dr. and Mrs. E d w a r ds were found nicely located in a beau tiful home between Kingston proper and the seaside. Mildred was the same bright bewitching fairy that she was at M. A. C. Wessels has the same longitude as ever but re quires more latitude. Schaffer was doing business in the chemical lab oratory and Bolte was looking out for the intetests of one of the finest poultry plants that it has ever been my lot to visit. M r s. Bolte, former ly Miss Jessie Brown, '05 my short visit there did not permit me to see. T he R h o de Island college has also a beautiful campus overlooking a broad valley of fertile fields. T he student body are vigorous and active and the college is doing first class work. F r om Rhode Island the trip took me to Connecticut where I met Clinton, the director of the experi ment station, and Prof. A. H. Gul- , ley in charge of the department of horticulture. It was my good fortune to visit the homes of these two men and I am glad to report that they are situated as delightfully indoor as they are effectively at their work. Prof. Gulley has been in Connecticut a long time and has himself th >roughly among the fruit growers of that state. He now owns a large fruit farm not f ir distant from Storrs. Director H e n ry of Wisconsin has purchased a farm south of Storrs and has placed his son upon it. established F r om Connecticut I went directly to Maine and visited at Orono, W. D.

As my uncle did not have any tame turkeys, he thought he would like to kill a wild one. About a mile from the house were the woods. It was cut by hills and valleys. T h e re were few places which had been cleared of timber. T h is particular morning was clear and cold. I w as accompanied by my uncle and his faithful dog. My uncle carried a rifle and I carried a shot gun. It had been several years since I had shot a gun, especially a s h o t g u n. We had been in the woods about an hour before we saw any signs of turkeys. T h e re was some snow on the ground, which made I saw some fresh the signs visible. tracks in a little clearing, which in that the game was not far dicated I started in the direction in off. which the led. I caught sight of three turkeys just as t he dog scared them. tracks In a few minutes my uncle called to me, and I hurried over to where found h;m crouched he was. I behind a tree holding the d o g. He cautioned me to keep quiet, and pointed in the direction of a small clearing, which was down in the valley. As I I saw, as nearly as I could judge, about seven ty-five turkeys. I picked out the largest gobbler in the flock, while my uncle had his eye tin another one. looked We started Finally we came within to crawl nearer the flock. T h is had to be done very quietly, because the least bit of noise on our part might scare the whole number. It took us fifteen minutes of the hardest crawling I ever did. range, and I got a good aim and fired. W h en the smoke cleared away I saw the turkey I had shot at run ning through the woods. Appar ently he could not fly. But he was a fast runner, and I had hard work to keep in sight of him, although I chased him up hill and down. In the meantime my uncle had succeed ed in killing t wo turkeys, the d og having staid with him. Once I was near enough to my turkey to try to shoot him, but the cartridge failed to go off. By this time my wind was giving out, and I thought that I would have to give up the chase. As I was going to stop I s aw the turkey fall as if he had been shot. I hurried to him, and when I reached him he was dead. Evi dently my shot and the loss of blood had weakened him. I threw the big fellow over my It shoulder and started for home. I found was dark when I arrived. that my turkey weighed twenty pounds. T h at Thanksgiving din ner was hard earned, but I enjoyed it all the better, although we did not eat it till the day after T h a n k s giving. S. H ., ' n. O. G.

P e r h a ps the main reason for the success of so large a proportion of our students is that thev have learn ed well how to do many things, not only in the class room, but especial ly in the laboratory, field, shop, barn, garden and orchard. To keep on the best place*, M. A. C. filling than in must make greater efforts the past and not let other institu tions or other business get the best men from us. Even now looks to me as though four or five or more other states are surpassing or soon long to surpass this college. H ow former can M. A. C. rest on her reputation? it It is none too soon Most lines of agriculture are pick ing up. for every student to look himself over, perhaps get the opinion of his inti mate friends, and think well of the question as to his chances for filling some first class place, netting a fine revenue. In this matter isn't it even taking some risk, as to ob worth taining a most worthy place, and then strive long and hard to become a well qualified candidate? It will not do to give too much time to out side matters of any kind, loafing, visiting, society, music, or even ath letics. While in college, if one aims high, many sacrifices must be made and time and energy concen trated on the most essential thingsl Nearly two hours of one evening were profitably spent in a confer ence of persons now or at one time connected with this College. the '93 Hon.

He spoke of the early pioneer and his methods, pay ing a fine these sturdy tribute to men who laid the foundation of our country's agriculture. T he greatest progress, however, has been made d u r i ng the past fifteen years. T he most important factors in this pro gress has been the work of the U. colleges stations, S. Department of Agriculture, ex periment and splendid agricultural papers. T h^ g r a n ge and farmers clubs have ex erted a wide educational influence. M r.
