An apple interesting three, viz., program was given at the meeting of the Natural evening. History Society Friday interesting M r. Greene gave an talk on the diseases of the apple, illustrating the same with drawings and charts. M r. Greene said there were 200 different diseases which these attack the apple. E i g ht of were serious, of which he men tioned scab, powdery mildew, and tire blight. He said the apple scab attacks both fruit and leaf, and appears in spring as an orange speck, gradually be coming darker. It g r o ws more rapidly in cool weather, and is more common in the lighter colored va rieties. T he powdery mildew at tacks young trees, and is one of the worst enemies of the nurserymen. It spreads rapidly from tree to tree and their vitality. Fire- blight acts as an epidemic, and un til recently has been little under stood by horticulturists. It origin ates from a germ, and is conveyed to the trees mostly by insects, the germ entering the tree through the foliage. This blight consumes the starch in the tree, and of ten is found on the sunny side of the trunk, as the cracking of the bark makes a good place for germs to enter. M r. Greene also mentioned the apple leaf rust, showing how it originated from red cedar. T he spreading of this disease mav be seen on a speci men of red cedar from N ew Jersey, which is now in the weed garden, and has some of the cedar apples on it. reduces M r. Cole spoke of the turtles of Michigan. He said there were 12 species in the state. He gave facts showing how lizards might be dis tinguished from salamanders and turtles. T he great memory of tur their tles and their habits of laying eggs in sand was mentioned. T u r tles do not have twelve varieties of meat, as many believe. T he outer layer of shell is cast off once a year, hence no reliability can be placed on ancient dates found carved on their backs. Five species of turtles are common at M. A. C. M r. Petitt and Prof. Wheeler left their papers till the next meet to the lateness of the ing, owing spoke a few hour. M r. Petitt words in regard Lophyrus Abbalii, an insect found on the pine tree. F. E. W. to the To Help the Athletic Association, T he co-eds have decided to make a proposition to the athletic associa tion to unite with them in getting up an entertainment for the benefit of the association. T he girls are anxious to do their share in sup porting athletics and know of no better w ay to lend the desired help. Boys, don't let this opportunity pass. Meet the girls more than half way in their generous proposition. We have always had their hearty support in athletics and we are grate ful for it. N ow let us show our gratitude in a practical way, as they propose to give us their support in a practical way. A nd this suggests that possibly a few of us have not been as enthusiastic as we might in our support of the have been young men w ho spend so many hours on the athletic field, at no small inconvenience to themselves sometimes, in order that M. A. C. may be well represented in athletic sports. We are not always present at meetings of the athletic associa tion ; some of us are a little more lavish with our criticism of players than with our praise and encourage ment ; a few of us, w ho don't care anything about seeing a baseball or football game, but just go out be cause the rest go, avoid paying any thing in support of athletics. N ow we are confronted with a condition, not a theory. T he Alma football than game cost $30.00 more the receipts amounted to. If an oppor tunity offer for making up that de ficit, let us embrace the opportunity. Water for Domestic Animals. CHARLES E. MARSHALL, BACTERIOLOGIST. About twelve years ago, the fact wras first realized that a bacteriolog ical study of drinking water was essential for the establishment of its purity. Since that time, little else has been done than to consider it for the benefit of mankind only; the question of water supply for domestic animals has been much neglected. I am inclined to think that it has no little significance. It is quite probable that epidem ics bHrid in their nature Q ,v' defviw* the diagnostic powers of a veterinary surgeon, might be accounted for by a bacteriological analysis of water or food supply. It is not an un common experience to have several domestic animals of a single farm die off rapidly in large numbers from some unknown cause, and this epidemic, strange as it may seem, does not pass beyond the limits of that farm. Seldom is the water supply thought of, because it is generally supposed that domestic animals are immune to the bacterial content of any water. Such an regarded as epidemic some anthrax, Texas disease other highly which may be quite remote from the case in hand. is usually contagious fever, or I wish to cite a case which came to my notice in January, 1896, and which may lend force to the above statements. A veterinarian in N ew Y o rk State, a graduate of Toronto, found several horses sick on a farm owned by a very intelligent man. T he disease could not be satisfactorily diagnosed by him ; consequently he began to investigate their surroundings very carefully. In the process of his search he noticed that the well from which their the horses obtained water was underneath the barn, and so located that it received some of the drainage from the barn yard. He at once ordered the water dis continued, and was pleased to find that there was almost an immediate abatement of the disease. This led him to believe that the water was the cause of the trouble. He at once sent a sample to me for a bacteriological analysis. T he analysis was made in due time and a micro-organism was isolated which was intensely virulent in its nature, much more virulent to experimental animals than the usual pathogenic or toxicogenic micro organisms found in drinking water. Looking into the matter a little farther, I found that a similar case had been established in this State, though not reported. In this in stance a micro-organism had been found for in the drinking water domestic animals and it proved fatal to horses which had used it. Both of these cases were studied accidentally and were given con sideration only by the request of parties concerned. W h at would be the result if we were able to follow the work from time to time, I am unable to state, but I suspect that the fruit would be as abundant as from the study of water for man kind. We cannot pollute the water for our domestic animals any more than the water for ourselves. It may be "me, then my d o g ," but it should not be all " m e ." Obituary. W R I T T EN BY A NORMAL S T U D E N T. A grief too profound for descrip- t'on and a sorrow that cannot be comforted has come to the Normal Athletic Association over the pre mature death of its pride and joy, the football team. So young, so hopeful, so promising, and yet so s-oon to be placed in the cold lifeless turf. Surely it is a grief too great to bear and we can only sit down, like Nj*e, and "shed great scalding tears as large as watermelons." Only last Wednesday this beauti ful favorite child of the association through was proudly promenading recent the corridors, boasting of victory and promising have to another report on Saturday. But alas, when the golden orb of heaven came to kiss the perverted child good night, on Friday last, its brow throbbed and it's cheek was flushed with burning fever, and when the morn threw a sympathetic ray over lo, the the spirit had gone where arnica is not used and possibly where the fever had given place to a flame the in tensity of whose heat is not ex pressed in calorics. troubled countenance, A post mortem showed that death had resulted from swallowing a pill which it had long had in preparation to poison other teams with, but which it had swallowed itself in the surprise caused by the news that the M.

Our football team did not go to Ypsilanti Saturday as they were It is the same old scheduled to do. story—Ypsilanti would not play if they could not use an outside man. the matter Our boys considered they desired carefully, and while they very much to play Ypsilanti, decided they could not do so con scientiously after taking the stand they have taken on the amateur question. Apparently the Normals are having some difficulty in getting games this year. T h ey have not yet played a game with one of the Kalamazoo intercollegiate other colleges in the athletic association. the has game that we should have played there November 20. We are unable to tell what their motive is in doing this, as they gave no reason for their action. cancelled over football. And Hillsdale College is having trouble Several weeks ago Albion went to Hillsdale for a game but refused to play be cause Hillsdale persisted in playing her coach. T he Hillsdale College faculty took the matter up, expelled football manager Cass, and sus pended captain Meyers. Later the sentence of manager Cass was commited to indefinite suspension, and captain Meyers was told he if he take part in athletics could would pay more attention to his studies. action caused a T he howl of the students, although the conservative ones regarded the faculty's action as proper and' necessary in order to maintain the college's amateur stand ing. indignation among faculty's Last Wednesday the most radical among the students, including the football team, held funeral services over the corpse of football, which was represented by a d u m my with a football for head and which was buried with due solemnity on col lege hill.

' T wo courses of lectures in house hold economy are being given by Prof. C. E. Marshall. One course is on " W h at to do in Cases of E m e r g e n c y ," and is for sophomores taking the W o m e n 's Course. T he class meets once a week, and thus lectures on far have been given wounds, kinds and treatment; anti septics, their u s e; and bandages, how to prepare and apply the var ious kinds. in Another class, composed of sen iors and post-graduates the W o m e n 's Course and several ladies of the faculty, three take times a week on "Bacteriology of the Kitchen." These lectures treat of the bacteria in water, milk, yeast, vinegar, etc., and are very interesting. lectures Sugar from Watermelons. Dr. C. P. Carver, of St. A u g u s tine, Fla., is experimenting with the sugar producing properties of watermelons. He has so far found that he can extract a fine taffy candy sugar at the proportion of one ounce to eight ounces of the melon pulp without the rind. Dr. Carver is going to ascertain the proportion of saccharine matter in the whole from watermelon, for he believes, experiments he has made, that a large quantity can be extracted from the rind, as well as from the pulp or heart of the melon. He says he is positive a sugar of superior deli cacy can be made from the melon. T HE M. A. C. R E C O R D. N O V E M B ER 16, 1897. THE M..A. C. RECORD.

Money Order, Draft, Registered Letter. Do not send stamps. THOMAS GUNSON, FLORIST. W i th the possible exception of celery, no plant used as an esculent has so suddenly come into public favor, and few plants have had such a phenomenally rapid development as lettuce. Some vegetables are only in de mand at certain seasons, but this, one of the cheapest and commonest, can be disposed of at fairly remuner ative prices the greater part of the year. T en or twelve years ago its season was confined to spring and early summer, and the bulk of the supply was g r o wn in hot-beds or in the open ground. N o w, no one cares for out-of-door lettuce. By the time it is fit to use other vegetables are in supply, or it is too tough and bitter as compared with lettuce grown in hot-beds or greenhouses.

It would be worth all it costs if the outlay were times as great. W h en once possessed money cannot purchase it, fire cannot burn it, nor thieves steal it. T he only questions are what kind of an education pays best and where can such an educa tion be secured to the best advant age and at the least cost ? T he most useless class of citizens in the country is that great body of people who imagine that they are just a little too good for manual work, yet who, in reality, are not fitted for any other position in life. T h is class ace the most miserable of all people. T h ey look with com miseration upon the mechanic and for the farmer they have both con tempt and pity.

T he bulk of the crop is in consequence grown in greenhouses where conditions can be controlled. Men to green house work were disposed at first to treat this lettuce business some what lightly and were satisfied to in less experienced leave the work hands. T he returns, however, made by these unskilled workmen has changed the early views of the older hands, until now, old and new alike are struggling with each other to see who is to furnish the most and best goods for the least money. More glass houses have been built in Michigan within the last three or four years to grow lettuce than for all other purposes combined. T he State is peculiarly fitted for the work ; its geographical the oc position, its freedom from the casional hail-storms South to large centres; a fair amount of sunshine and cheap fuel, all help to make her position unique for the business. that visit and W e s t; proximity it in that embodied In order to keep in touch with the work and to aid if possible those already engaged there was erected at the College last year a certain greenhouse advanced ideas calculated to meet the necessities of the plant, and at the same time, if possible, reduce the cost of production.

T h r o u g h o ut all classes and grades of instruction it must be first in pur pose and first in spirit. A nd so the most enlightened and earnest advo cates of progressive education are agreed that this is the prime purpose its several of manual training phases—domestic science, and in dustrial and domestic art. in underlie To accomplish this object, a three fold purpose must the methods pursued in its application, n a m e l y: Mental development, in . added knowledge, creased power in doing. T h us its specific objects may be said to be and 1st. T he training of the general intelligence through a study of, and dealing with things, and coming to a fuller understanding and power of the adaptation of objects and sub stances which surround us through life. 2d.

In domestic science, which in cludes the cooking school, our girls learn, not only how to apply a knowledge of scientific principles the most results to practical wholesome, nutritious and appetiz ing articles of diet and where and h ow best to serve them, but all the best discovered hygenic rules and regulations for managing a house as a home in the truest sense of the word. in of the inmates In the industrial and domestic art departments they learn the equally to plan important lessons of how and construct not only the wearing apparel of this "home," but all the list of needful articles to be fabricated from cotton, wool, silk, linen, etc. T he various stitches and modes of making them are shown in detail, then applied, and the judgment is brought into constant exercise in determining the value, quality and quantity of mater ials, as also color and textile, then in cutting, fitting and making. Care and neatness, patience and persever ance must be the outcome of this the en together with discipline, couraging or developing of aptitude, and the creating of a taste or liking for the work, for its own sake as well as for economy's sake. Miss Sackett of the domestic art depart ment, P r a tt Institute, says : "Look ing at these subjects from the point of utility, the knowledge which is acquired will certainly fit the girls to better assume the most important part of life, the home-maker. T he this very knowledge has lack of often wrecked this "home," which should be the foundation of our In a very able national prosperity." address given a short time ago be fore the Brooklyn Board of Educa tion, it was stated that in a tenement of a hundred the only woman who could bake her own bread, and make and repair the children's clothing, was the wife of a man who, with the same income as his fellow-workers, had, when it was necessary for the business in to tempo which he was employed rarily sufficient money suspend, saved to tide over the hard times. families, Industrial art leads the girl on to the more decorative phazes of home furnishing and gives scope to her artistic nature and powers in creat ing the features of beauty which are always good because they embody the soul of refinement, culture and high-born tastes.

Its aim may not be to turn out mechanics, while it does furnish an impetus in that direction when there is a natural taste and aptitude, but the utilitarian feature must follow as a consequence upon the educative. But the fact that the methods employed are such as are best fitted to develop mental, moral, and physical powers, is one of first importance. Without a question it cultivates manual dexterity, self- reliance, accuracy, carefulness, pa tience, perseverance, and especially does it train the faculty of attention and develop powers of concentration. It unrolls or unfolds strength and power which may never be used again as in the various class exer cises, but as a reserved force to be called upon as each young man and to meet the actual woman comes life. realities and emergencies of In this particular way the Sloyd feature of manual training is espec to the young women, ially helpful for while they should be gaining this power of mind and muscle which can afterwards be applied to the various duties of life, they are also gaining a knowledge of num berless things of no trifling import ance which any woman may meet and be obliged to master. time, cannot be T he opportunities in these direc tions open to the young women of the present too greatly appreciated, and not to avail one's self of their benefits is to live too greatly beneath one's privileges.
