Misses R a y n or and Allen and Mr. Bates and M r. Schroetter, with mandolin selections by Miss V an Heulen, made a very pleasing pro gram. T he light refreshments to gether with the social and musical features of the evening made the occasion a very enjoyable one, and it is to be hoped that these occasions may be repeated often. At the Union Literary Society, Saturday evening, March 9, it was a unique and laughable f a ne which the members of the Society offered to their guests. To mention in dividual performers, covertly named on the mysterious program, is to do obvious injustice to the others since the list is too long to describe the performance of each and the E n g lish language too limited in super latives to do justice to them. T he K i ng Bee of the whole performance teacher. This was of course the important function was inimitably performed by Roswell C a rr who had enameled his face for the occa sion making it susceptible to the ex pression of no emotion, an absolute blank. His control of the school reminded one of boyhood days when Misses and missiles occupied his willing attention during school hours. T he spanking machine, an ingen ious apparatus made up of a board hinged at one end and connected in lever which the middle with a foot brought it down with considerable emphasis on the proper part of the anatomv of the much guilty boy, was a new invention. It seemed to be put to a good use in the case of " P i g g y ," "the niece" and others, not one-tenth of whose conspicous acts of disobedience were noted by the teacher, who knew h ow to be blind when he wanted to be. T he English department was greatly edified by the recitations, readings, essays and addresses given. T he English language was drawn " N e w t ," Johnson's and quartered. essay on " A i g s" was a revelation. Some of his material had come from the hatch act experiment station. It was noted that it required but little for many boys on the pro effort gram to play the fool, the realm of genius being close to that of insan- ity. At the close of the " L i t e r a r y" ? program which was enlivened by sundry so called songs and tunes, bushels of popcorn and bags of or anges were served. T he Society gave its guests a most enjoyable '86 and J. W. Clemons evening. Dr. A. F. Gordon '90 former mem bers of the society were present. C. D. S. Y. M. C A.

ATHLETICS. T he carnival on Friday evening was a great success and every one came away feeling well repaid for attending the " s h o w" where was had the most fun of the year. T he feature of the evening was the basket ball game between the all freshmen and the pick of the in stitution, result ng in a victory for the freshmen 31 to 16. T he fresh men used four of the first team men, Vondette, M c K e n n a, Hanish, and Mills, " B i g" Campbell playing cen ter. Their opponents consisted of Krehl, Westerman and Dickson of the varsity and in addition, Hatfield, Belknap and Merz of second team. T he game was intensely in teresting and bitterly fought. More enthusiasm and interest were shown than in any game this year. And the w hy not? T h e re were ten of very best players and the outcome ought to have been in teresting. T he first half was especi ally exciting, ending 16 to 12 for the freshmen. at work the the leans. to Capt. Moore T he other big game of the even ing was the one between the fats and Capt.

In addition the team was composed of " C a p" Doty, " F a t" Taylor, Charlton and Ster ling. Charlton had the honor of winning the game on a single bas ket, being the only one thrown dur ing the game and this near the close of the last half. T he football-boys would occasionally forget the nature of the game, but would quickly be called to account. T he bill was rolling on the floor the greater part of the time which perhaps accounts for the number of baskets.

In addition to the basket ball J a cobs and Cataline gave a clever ex hibition in tumbling and Jacobs also " d id a few stunts" on the parallel bars. An interesting and amusing feature Was the burlesque boxing match between Frazer and Bur roughs. F r a z er secured the decis ion, possibly on account of the ex cellent attention accorded by his sec ond. F r a z er and Krehl also gave an excellent exhibition in fencing, and altogether the entertainment is one long to be remembered. T he to purchase proceeds will be used sweaters for the basket ball team. T h is practically winds up one of the most successful seasons we have ever enjoyed in winter sports. Plans are going forward for the cross country run which will take place April 13, the second Saturday of the spring term.

He stated that intense specialization in horticulture has little or no re lation to animal husbandry. E x treme specialization in stock bears little or no connection to horticul ture. T h e re are conditions however where horticulture and animal hus bandry do have a practical relation. T h e re are cases where men engaged in a strictly specialized line in stock, or some line of horticulture, and have made a success, but these cases are rare except under naturally favor able conditions. the F r om stockman's point of view, in order to have a comfortable home, live well, etc., there are three factors he cannot ignore. These are—the kitchen garden, the home orchard, the garden, lawn, and house surroundings. From the horticul turists' point of view the question is the connecting link of fertilizer between horticulture. Commericial fertilizers, green man ures, etc , are a great help but the horticulturist must have barnyard manure. Hence the question hinges upon a combination of the two. stock and is T he dairy business the best business for the poor man with a poor farm. Dairy and horticulture make a good combination.

It is estimated that a 1000 lb. cow, well fed, will produce $25 to $30 worth of fertilizing ma terial in a year. Hence we see how the the stock go hand in hand with horticultural crop. P o rk production can also be used in the combination. T he waste of the fruits etc. also the by products from the dairy can be this utilized in making pork. work care and study must be used to get the dairy in shape so they will require less work when fruit needs the time. In T h e re are many possibilities along these lines mentioned, and for any one so constituted, who can put his eggs in several baskets and watch them all, there is chance of abund ant reward. Prof. Shaw was given a rising vote of thanks for his in structive talk, after which Spy a p ples were served. THE M. A. C. RECORD. $ 1 . 00 FOR 5&fe-ty R a z or EVERY KIND OF FURNITURE FOR YOUR ROOM.
