H is talk was most practicaland helpful in its na ture, and was greatly appreciated by the students present. T h is is the first year that a course in this subject has been presented by the English department.

T he course has proved helpful, and will become in another year or two one of the most practical courses in the college. finally W I N T ER KILLING. the N o r th of the poultry plant at M. A. C. is an interesting study in the hardiness of alfalfa and relative clover. An ice sheet covered this series of row lots February, 1910. T he stand was good in all the rows last fall. Labels will aid in under standing facts. As will be noticed the first group on the west is a series of progeny ("family ") rows of alfalfa. Here we have a chance to compare the hardiness of different second group of alfalfas is not a progeny series but a " variety " series. Each row is from a different lot of com mercial seed. Because the stand was good last fall, the number of plants that remain show the relative endurance of the plants grown from these different lots of seed. F or example row N o. 2^, contains only 18 per cent, of living plants while row N o. 35 contains 93 per cent, thrifty plants. families.
