two  or  three  inches  in  diameter,  but 
by  the  method  in  use  now,  blooms 
twelve  to  fifteen  inches  in  diameter 
are  not  uncommon.  T he  plants  are 
set  either  in  beds  or  benches  as 
early  as  May  for  early  flowers  and

During  the  last  summer  the  Col 
lege  has  been  carrying  on  experi 
ments  with  various  chemical  ferti 
lizers  to  learn  if  they  could  not  be 
the 
to  advantage  instead  of 
used 
stable  manure.  About 
sixty-five 
varieties,  comprising  seven  hundred 
and 
(750)  plants  were  used 
in  the  experiment.  T h ey  were  set 
in  the  wide  center  benches  in  the 
forcing  houses,  which  had  been  di 
vided  lengthwise  of  the  houses  into 
two  parts  by  a  board  partition. 
One-half  of  each  bed  was  enriched 
with  stable  manure  and  the  same 
material  was  used  as  a  mulch  and 
as  a  liquid  dressing.  T he  soil  in 
the  other  half  of  the  beds  was  ordi 
nary  loam  that  had  received  no  fer 
tilizer  of  any  kind  for  years.  This 
portion  of  the  beds  was  laid  off  into 
sections,  each  of  which  was  ferti 
lized  with  a  mixture  of  various 
chemicals.  T he  combination  was 
such  as  to  provide  about  the  pro 
portion  of  nitrogen,  phosphorus  and 
potash  that  it  was  thought  would 
be  required  by  the  plants.  A m o ng 
the  materials  used  were  sulphate  of 
potash,  nitrate  of  potash,  nitrate  of 
soda,  phosphate  of  ammonia,  as 
well  as  ground  bone  and  wood 
ashes.  T h e se  were  also mixed  with 
the  soil  and  were  used  as  a  liquid 
the  same  time  as  the 
dressing  at 
manure  water. 
the 
T he  cost  of 
chemicals  was  very  slight,  and  they 
were  applied  with  much  less  trouble 
than  the  animal  manure. 
f  During  the  period  of  g r o w th  they 
were  carefully  watched,  but  no  dif 
ference  could  be  noticed  in  the  rate 
or  the  appearance  of  the  growth.

by  the  use  of  chemicals  remained  in 
a  presentable 
appearance  much 
longer  than  the  others  which  were 
largely  if  not  entirely  grown  with 
stable  manure. 

Sodium  nitrate,  mildly  acidulated 
ground  bone  and  wood  ashes,  gave 
good  results  ;  but,  especially  for  the 
liquid  applications, nitrate  of  potash, 
phosphate  of  ammonia  and  sulphate 
of  potash  will  be  more  readily  ap

In  this  special  course  thirty 
ures  will  be  given,  covering 
the 
subjects  of  construction  of  glass 
houses,  commercial 
floriculture,  and 
winter  vegetable  growing. 

T he  College  greenhouses  will  be 
used  to  illustrate  each  of

amples  of 
the  various  methods  of 
construction,  and  will  contain  all  of 
the  leading  crops  of  the  florist  and 
vegetable  gardener.  T h ey  will  also 
be  used  to  afford  practice  w o rk 
in 
the  various  methods  of  propagating 
and  growing  the  plants. 

In  this  course  as  in  the  others  we 
hope  to  have  the  aid  of  some  of 
the  leading  specialists  of  the  State. 
W o rk  in  botany,  entomology  and 
chemistry  will  be  similar  in  scope 
to  that  offered  in  the  course  on  fruit

Our  football  team  went  to  Notre 
last 
Dame  on  T h u r s d ay 
game  of 
the  season,  and  although 
Notre  Dame  won  by  a  score  of  34 
to  6,  the  game  our  boys  put  up  was 
a  credit  to  themselves  and  the  insti 
tution.  Becker,  our  heavy  guard 
and  one  of  our  best  men  both  with 
the  ball  and  on  the  defense,  was 
compelled  to  go  home  on  Wednes 
day  because  of 
the  illness  of  his 
father.  Crane  filled  his  place  and 
did  excellent  work,  but  Becker's 
absence  was  felt  by  the  whole  team. 
Notre  Dame's  team  was  much 
the 
heavier  of  the  two,  the  line  averag 
ing  over  190  pounds.  T he  center 
weighed  246  pounds.

the  greater 
part  of  the  time.  Once  when  Notre

the  second  half  Price,  Brainerd  and 
Wells  had  to be  taken  out  on  account 
of  slight  injuries  and  were  replaced 
by  P a r k s,  Russell  and  Smith. 

E v e ry  man  on  our  team  played 
good  ball  and  all  are  deserving  of  the 
highest  praise.  T he  boys  are  loud 
in  their  praise  of  the  treatment  re 
ceived  at  the  hands  of 
the  Notre

T he  game  was 
clean  and  free  from  disputes,  and 
every  effort  was  made  to  entertain 
us  properly.  We  hope 
this  will 
not  be  the  last  of  our  contests  with 
our  friends  from  South  Bend.

Culture  and  Dairying.

region  was, 

T h i r ty  years,  yes/  even  as  late  as 
twenty  years  ago,  the  Grand  T r a v 
erse 
comparatively 
speaking,  a  wilderness  ;  but,  owing 
to  its  abundant  natural  resources,  it 
has  been  developing  rapidly  and  in 
some  sections  it  is  becoming  quite 
thickly  settled.  While  the  lumber 
ing  interests  were  being  developed 
the  more 
settled  occupations,  as 
farming,  fruit  raising  and  dairying 
were  neglected.  This  has  been  the 
condition  of  northern  Michigan  in 
the  past. 
T he 

industry  while 
exhausting  itself  has  practically  been 
the  means  of  settling  and  develop 
ing  the  country.  But  the  once  rich 
and  beautiful 
forests  of  pine  and 
hardwood  are  gradually  but  surely 
disappearing,  and  the  time  has  come 
lay  aside 
when  the  woodman  must 
his  axe  and  turn  his  hand 
the 
to 
development  of  the  rich  and  more 
inexhaustible  agricultural  resources. 
the 
To  say  that  agriculture  up  to 
present  time  has  received  no  atten 
tion  would  be  untrue  to  the  present 
conditions,  for  in  many  places  near 
the  lake  shore  are  to  be  found  some 
of  the  finest  and  most  productive 
farms  in  the  State. 

As  yet,  however,  but  little  atten 
tion  has  been  given  to  dairying  and 
fruit  raising—two  of  the  most  profit 
able  branches  of  agriculture.  T he 
farmer  up  to  the  present  has  been 
engaged,  chiefly,  in general  farming, 
producing  only 
the  staple  articles 
necessary  to  supply  the  demands  of 
there 
the  lumbering  sections.  But 

to 

the  production  of 

fruit  raising  will  not,  in  the  near 
future  become  two  of  the 
leading 
industries  in  this  section  of  the  State. 
T he  soil and  climate are  peculiarly 
the 
adapted 
leading  forage  crops.  M u ch  of  the 
hardwood 
land  which  has  been 
stripped  of  its  timber  can  be  pur 
chased  at  from 
two  to  five  dollars 
per  acre, and  can easily  be  converted 
into the best  of  pasture  lands.  T h en 
too,  much  of  the  land  which  is  too 
rough  for  purposes  of  general  farm 
ing  makes  equally  as  good  pastur 
age  as  the  more  expensive  flat  lands. 
In  this  way  much  of  the  land  which 
otherwise  would  be  a  waste  could 
be  made  valuable. 

But  if  dairying  is  to  be  profitable, 
the  dairyman  must  not  only  be  able 
to  produce  cheaply,  but  must  also 
have a good  market  for  his  products. 
T he  home  consumption  greatly  ex 
ceeds  the  production  and  the  demand 
is  becoming 
for  better  products 
greater  every  year. 
T he  many 
summer  resorts  in  the  Grand  T r a v 
erse  region  furnish  a  ready  market 
for  all  products  of  the  dairy,  and  a 
fancy  article  is  always  sure  to  com 
mand  a  good  price. 

in  northern  Michigan 

One  of  the  best points  in  favor  of 
dairying 
is 
that  the  greatest  demand  comes  at  a 
time  of  year  when  dairy  products 
are most  easily and  cheaply  produced. 
in  brief,  for  the  dairy 
industry  ;  now  let  us  turn  our  atten 
tion  to  the  possibilities  of  this  section 
for  fruit  raising. 

So  much, 

Although  fruit  raising  is  new  to 
this  part  of  the  State,  it  is  by  no 
means  untried.  T en  or  twelve  years

But  to-day  it bids  fair  to  become  one 
of  the  leading  agricultural  pursuits  ;

this  section 

T he  climate  of 

is 
much  modified  by  the  waters  of  the 
l a k e s;  and  is  well  adapted  to  the 
production  of  such  fruits  as  the  ap 
ple,  pear  and  plum,  mo,st  varieties  of 
which  thrive  well  without  danger  of 
winter  killing. 
T he  quality  of 
northern  g r o wn  fruit  is of  the  best, 
surpassing  that  of  other  localities  in 
flavor  and  keeping  qualities.  T h is 
is  substantiated  by  the  fact 
that  the 
fruit  g r o wn  in  this  section  brings 
leading 
the  highest  price 
markets.

that 

T he  home  markets  are  always 
the 
good  and  this,  together  with 
cheap  means  of 
transportation  by 
water,  enables  the  producer  to  com 
pete  favorably  with  fruit  growers 
of  other  localities. 

T he  growing  of  the  small  fruits, 
as  the berry  fruits,  has,  as  yet,  re 
ceived  but  little  attention,  and  most 
fruits  of 
imported 
this  class  are 
from  other  parts  of 
the  State. 
T h e re  is  no  necessity  for  this,  how 
ever,  because  the  same  quality  of 
fruit  can  be  produced  just  as  easily 
and  cheaply  at  home  with  good 
profits  to  the  producer. 

W h e r e v er  dairying  and fruit  rais 
ing  have  been  tried  in  this  section, 
they  have  proven  profitable.  Under 
the  existing  condition,  and  as  the 
country  becomes  more  thickly  set 
tled  there  is  little  doubt  that 
these 
two  branches  of  agriculture  will 
become  the  two  leading  rural  oc 
cupations  of  the  Grand  Traverse 
region.

From  the  WtiteTH  Liberal. 

T he  sugar  beet  is  becoming  an 
in

been  analyzing  sugar  beets  raised  in 
that  state,  and  had  said  they  were 
the  richest  in  sugar  of  any  raised  in 
the  world.  Not  wanting  the  friend 
that 
to  make  . a  public  statement 
could  not  be  substantiated

richest  in  sugar  were  raised  in  the 
sun  kissed  valleys  of  N ew  Mexico, 
and  in  proof  thereof  quoted  to  him 
the  result  of  analyses  made  by  Prof. 
Goss  of  the experiment  station,  who
