HORTICULTURAL CLUB. T he twenty-sixth meeting of the Michigan Dairymen's Association was held in the W a y ne Casino at Detroit, Feb. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. T he Association began as a very small gathering of interested dairy men. Its g r o w th at. first was very slow, but in the more recent years o-reater interest has been manifested and the attendance reached up into the thousands. is spent re T he association is a sort of union of buttermakers and dairy men of the state. T he afternoons of the convention are devoted to the discussions of the production of milk, care and handling of cream, butter-making and cheese-making. in the time T he rest of the display of m a: looking over chinery. Nearly every kind of machine used in the dairy industry was represented—cream separators, churns, cream ripeners, testing out fits, starter cans, etc. Also there the various were fine displays of brands cleansing of powders used in the dairy all of these, together, made up a very in teresting and instructive feature of the association. salts and A b o ut 25 short course students and the instructors in charge of the dairy attended the convention, and report that it was one of the best, if not the best, ever held. Mr. Raven, of the live stock ex tension work, and Mr. Grove, in structor in creamery, were elected directors of the association for the coming year. Dr. Marshall and Mr. Simon Ilagadorn, short course creamery the best instructor, gave talks of the program. Dr. Marshall's subject was " T he Keeping Quali ties of Butter," and M r. Ilagadorn spoke of "Starters in Cre am Ripen- two of D E B A T E RS A ND ATTENTION ! OTHERS Judge Cahill, of Lansing, will address the Debating.Society T h u r s day evening, at 7 o'clock, on the subject of the Ypsi. debate. Ypsi lanti is making a big effort to win this debate, and oiir team will need the support of the student body in this as well as other lines of work. J u d ge Cahill is considered an author ity on the subject, and ah w ho hear him will be able to stand back of our team with enthusiasm. T he second preliminary debate was held last T h u r s d ay night and six of the best men in the college were chosen for the finals : W. R. Walker, R. W. Powell, M. B. Har ris, J. C. D e C a m p, E. A. Close, and A. W. Gibson. T h r ee of these six will represent us in the debate with Ypsilanti, which will be held here in May. T he finals will be held in about three weeks. Y ou are invited out T h u r s d ay evening to get a line on the work. You are urged to attend the finals "to support the team you choose. T he Horticultural Club listened to a fine talk Wednesdav evening on "Orchard Methods in the North w e s t" by Mr. Henry Walter, of Cheboygan, Mich. M r. Walter has spent 16 months in several of the best orchards of the northwest, working for the owners and Study ing in their methods. He spoke particular of the Hood R i v er Val ley, Ore., as he considered that the best. In this region 75 per cent, of the plantings are vellow N e w t o wn Pippins and Spitzenburgh. Many the remainder are Ortley and of W i n t er Banana. is are T he T he people of this valley have sprayed w i th lime-sulphur and Bor deaux for several years so that they have very little San J o se scale or scab. T h ey are able to control the coddling moth with one arsenical spray so that than ^ less there per cent, of wormy apples. orchards cultivated throughout the whole season with a disk cultivator end ievelcd with a spe cial leveler. T he trees are headed very low. T he apples are thinned when they are about the size of hick ory nuts, leaving one in each cluster. T h is gives large and uniform fruit. At harvest time, the lower fruits are picked by women and girls, who use ladders which stand about four feet from the ground. T he higher ones are picked by men" with tripod ladders. T h ey use mostly half bushel baskets lined with bur is then put in or lap. T he fruit chard boxes and taken to the pack ing house, where w o m en sort and wipe them. interesting Next came the most It was part of the evening's talk. a practical demonstration of the methods of packing. Mr. W a l t er illustrated took a box of fruit and very carefully each of three methods. their T he success of the northwestern people is due to their cooperation. T h ey have formed the Hood R i v er Apple Grower's Union, which buvs all of their supplies, and packs and sells all of the fruit. Each load of fruit has to be inspected and all boxes that are rejected have to be repacked. T h is makes them able to guarantee everv box sent out. T h ev also hold fairs, where friendly competition takes place and results are talked over. In addition they have the benefit of a good climate and good soil. All this has established a reputation for them and given them a good market and better prices than any other district in the United States. biennial into such they come their Only a small percent of orchards^, however, have come into bearing and it is a question wrhether good they can command full prices after the dis bearing. T h ev also have advantage of being a long distance from Chicago and N ew Y o r k, their main markets. Each box in car load lots costs 55c for transportation. M r. W a l t er thinks that Michigan has advantages which are fully equal to those of the Northwest. WTe are right at the door of our market. We are surrounded by the Great tran Lakes which gives us water sportation and protection from frost. Our fruit has a much better flavor than the western fruit. If we will get tegether and co operate, adver tise, and pack correctly, we can pro duce fruit which will challenge the world. During a lively question box, Michigan's king of apples—The Northern Spy—was served. T he history and description was given by Mr. R. G, Yoorhorst.

Swain, Harvard University, before Section D of the American As sociation for the Advance ment of Science, Boston. Dec. 29, 1909. According to the dictionary, a profession is defined as "a vocation in which a professed knowledge of some department of science or learn ing is used by its practical applica tions to the affairs of others, either, teaching in advising', po men for twenty years. we sec that the work of the engineer was not precisely directed to the uses of others, and we realize the crudeness, in some respects, of the civilization which would permit such waste of useful effort. During the middle ages, with the neglect of learning, engineering declined, but with the revival of learning in the sixteenth century it took on new life, and since that time, with the advance of science, it has progressed probably more than any other field of activity. rapidly During the early development of the profession, engineering, came to be divided into two kinds, civil and military, the latter being concerned with fortifications and with means of offense and defense, while the former included all other applica tions of the building art. Up to nearly the end of the eighteenth cen definition was tury, Tredgold's somewhat inapplicable, inasmuch as the sources of pozcer in nature were not understood, and could be utilized only to a very small degree. Up to time, engineering comprised that mainly the construction of roads, canals and bridges, the improvement of harbors, river w o r k s, the con struction of docks, and the supply ing of towns and cities with water. T he state of the art only allowed of the construction of bridges of very short span, of either stone or wood, since iron had not yet been brought into use, and ferries were generallv employed in crossing streams too deep for fording. T he steam engine was known only in a very crude and uneconomical form, the weaving of cloth was almost all done by hand, there was little transportation except by sea, cities were not drain ed or lighted by gas, the applications of electricity were, of course, un known, navigation by water was en tirely by means of sailing vessels or with oars, and the only form in which irom was used to any extent was in the form of cast iron. But before the end of the eigh teenth century there came a remark able series of mechanical inventions —the spinning jenny by Hargreaves, the spinning frame by A r k w r i g h t, the mule by Crompton, the power loom by Cartwright, the modern steam engine by Watt, the puddling process for making wrought iron by Cort, and others. These were followed, in the first third of the eighteenth century, by the develop ment of the steam locomotive bv Stephenson, of the steamboat by Fulton, by the inauguration of the era of railroads, beginning for all practical purposes with the victory of the " R o c k e t" in the competition at Rainhill in 1829, and by.the fur ther great improvements in manu facturing, and Lathe production of iron and steel, It was just at this time, when the minds of all were filled with the in ventions of W a tt and of Stephenson, that Tredgold gave his definition, clearly showing the tremendous in fluence held at that time bv the sub ject of pozcer. These great devel opments greatly enlarged the field of engineering and gave birth to a new class of engineer — the railroad engineer. T h ey led also to the dif ferentiation of the mechanical engi neer from the civil engineer. Since time the mechanical engineer that has claimed as his special field the development and use of power in all its forms, including the generation of power from the combustion of fuel and the flow of water by means of the various types of engines and water wheels, the transmission of that power from point -to point by means of belting, shafting or other that means, and the utilization of power bv machinery. T h e re is hardly a field of human industry, therefore, which is not dependent upon the mechanical engineer, be cause all manufactured articles de pend upon power in some applica tion, and upon machinery operated bv power. The field of the modern mechanical engineer, however, not only covers the department of power and its applications — in manufactur ing, in the steam locomotive, in the steamship—but it is also held to in clude the construction of mills, and all applications of steam and heat, such as heating, ventilation, lighting, refrigeration, ice making, elevators and so on. Hut notwithstanding the differen tiation from it of the field of the mechanical engineer, the field of the civil engineer was itself enlarged by the progress of science and inven tion. T he great impetus given to rendered - necessary manufacturing the distribution of the wrong ma terial and the manufactured pro supply increased enormously ducts. Transportation engineering was in its scope, and the new profession of the railroad engineer was brought into existence. Roads and canals, harbors and docks were built with unexampled rapidity and river im provements were extensively carried on. At this time the increase in use of canals gave occasion for the cele brated remark of Brindley, the great canal engineer of England, himself an untutored genius, w h o, when asked what the use of the river was, replied, " To canals with water." At the same time the economical production of w r o u g ht iron rendered possible the construc tion of bridges of unexampled span. By this time had begun one of the greatest sociological movements which characterizes the present time, namely, the increasing congregation of people in cities. At the begin ning of the nineteenth century only three per cent of the population of the United States lived in cities, while at the present time tHe urban population is over thirty- three p er cent of the total. This phenome non, during the last half of the cen tury just passed, had led to the dif ferentiation of another field of; en gineering, namely, that of the sani tary engineer, whose specified prov ince is to deal with the problems of water supply, drainage, the disposal, of refuse, the purification of water in sewage, the sanitation of d w e l l ings, and the various other problems resulting from this congestion of population. Improvements, also, in chemistry and in metallurgy, have given rise to still other distinct branches of en gineering, namely, mining engineer ing, and metallurgy, the scope of which I shall endeavor here to sketch. Again the field of the mechanical engineer has during the past quarter of a century become subdivided, owing to the discoveries in electric ity. Steam and water are no longer used simply to propelsteam engines or water wheels, producing power to be used on the spot. Steam or other engines, and water wdieels, now drive electric generators, the currents from which are transmitted long distances, sometimes as great as 200 or even 300 miles, by means of transmission wires, to be again transformed bv electric machinery and used for the production of light or for other purposes. T he tele phone and the telegraph have; been discovered, electric cars have re placed the horse cars, and the pas senger traffic of our steam railroads is in some cases being carried on In- electric locomotives. Almost every thing now-a-davs is done or can be done by electricity, even to prepar ing our food and beating o ur houses. T he electrical engineer, with a field already so wide that it is divided into specialties, is a product of t he last twenty-five years. (To be continued.) '74- Geo. W. Brewer, w ho is in the United States Indian school service at W a d s w o r t h, Nevada, has been transferred to the Indian school at Orr, Minnesota. T he W a d s w o r th Indian school farm has been changed to an experiment station and experts in that line have already begun the work. ' S4 Colon C.

President and Mrs. Snyder very pleasantly entertained the cabinet members of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. at their home from 6 to 7 130 on the evening of Jan. 28. The time was short because of the oratorical contest, which was held the same evening, but a great deal of pleasure was crowded into the brief time. Flowers were in abund ance. Each guest was decorated with a violet. Very dainty refresh ments were served. Sunday evening, Feb. 6th, Mr. Y. P. Randall, of Chicago, who, until recently, has been employed by the New ^ ork Tenement House Department, delivered in chapel an address, entitled, " T he Great American Fraud." Mr. Randall pointed out-that the liquor traffic the greatest of American was frauds. l ie knows, for in his life work he has been in close contact with the terrible conditions in the large cities among the poorer classes. He says that these conditions are most often the work of the saloon. Mr. Randall is employed by the Anti-saloon League and is giving a series of lectures throughout the county this week. He illustrates his lectures with stereopticon views of "Real Life." He is worth hearing. On Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 19 and 20, the Y. M. C. A. will be given another treat. W infield S. Hall, M. D.. dean of the Northwest ern Medical School, is coming to this college. He will speak in the evenings to the young men only. The place has not been definitely decided upon, but will be announced later. Every man on the campus should hear him. Remember the date, Feb. 20th. '09. B. B.

Fishers' Orchestra made the various stages in the trip pleasing and extremely interesting by being at their best. The armory was decorated en tirely with wintry scenes, hat ing the girders overhead covered with apple branches which had been cal- cimined to pure white and mica sprinkled on. In one corner was a large roomy igloo of true Eskimo type with small tunnel opening. The whole covered with cotton and mica. T he opposite corner was a bower of e v e r g r e en flecked 'with snow. Directly in front of the east door was the North pole embedded in a Hoe of ice and bearing the Colum bian Banner encased in ice. A biige snow fort occupied another corner. Standing directly in front of the west door, facing the orchestra was a snow man of no small dimensions, with attitude and expression of wishing to embrace the whole happy crowd. The windows were decked with snowy pine boughs. The or chestra occupied a canopied dais of white in the centre of the floor, from which they snow balled the dancers, turned out the lights and performed various original tricks while furnishing their own particu lar grade of music. The party was a success in every way. J. tf. KNAPP & CO. are known by their low prices T he M. A. C. R E C O R D. J. W.
