Shop  Talk. 

A ny  mention  of  the  Veterinary 
Laboratory  usually  suggests  to  the 
lame  horses, 
sick  cows  or 
mind 
fleshless  bones  or  surgical 
instru 
ments.  A nd  why  not? 
It  is  a  val 
uable  part  of  the  farmer's  education 
to  know  how  to  treat  his  sick  cow 
or  horse,  how  to  use  those  fleshless 
bones  or  surgical  instruments,  and 
such  instruction  are  the  seniors  and 
sophomores 
receiving  under  Dr. 
Waterman  this  term.  All  agricul 
instruction 
tural  students  now  get 
in  veterinary  science  during  a  part 
of  the  sophomore  year,  and  those 
who  elect  continue  the  work  dur 
ing  the  senior  year.  T he  special 
course  students  in  stock-feeding  and 
dairying  also  study 
the  anatomy 
of 
the  digestive,  respiratory,  and 
reproductive  organs  of  domestic  ani 
mals,  their  diseases  and  the 
treat 
ment  of  the  same. 

But  this  is  not  all  that  is  going  on 
in  this interesting  laboratory.  Under 
the  instruction  of  Dr.  Marshall 
the 
seniors  now  have  the  privilege  of 
studying  bacteriology  as  it  is  related 
to 
the 
the  practical  problems  of 
farm  and  home.  Beginning  with 
general,  bacteriology 
they  proceed 
to  the  study  of  antisepsis,  disinfec 
immunity, 
tion,  susceptibility  and 
ventilation,  drainage,  infectious  dis 
eases,  etc.  T he  special  students  in 
stock-feeding  get  practically 
the 
same  work,  though  in  a  more  gen

In  the  Bacteriological  Laboratory 
two  students—all  that  can  be  accom 
modated  at  present—-are  doing  thesis 
w o r k;  Miss  A my  V a u g h n,  for  her 
Master  degree,  and  Miss  Jeannette 
Carpenter,  for  her  Bachelor  degree. 
Both  are  very  much 
interested  in 
their  work  and  both  are  enthusiastic 
in 
their  praise  of  Dr.  Marshall, 
whose  class  work  with  them  and 
the  seniors  and  special  students  is 
entirely  voluntary,  he  being  an  E x 
periment  Station  man. 
Miss  V a u g h n 's 

is 
on  the  "Fermentation  of  Canned 
Fruits."  She  gets  spoiled  canned 
fruit  wherever  she  can  find  it  and 
endeavors  to  find  the  cause  of  its 
spoiling.  She  will  devote  a  half  of 
each  day  for  the  remainder  of  the 
year  to  this  work.  Miss  Carpenter 
is  spending  two  hours  a  day  in  the 
study  of  yeasts.

T h us  we  see  that  it  is  not  merely 
of  cows  and  horses, bones  and  surgi 
cal  instruments  that  we  may  learn 
in  the  Veterinary  Laboratory.  T he 
student  who  masters 
the  subjects 
there 
taught  will  have  learned  of 
these,  it  is  true;  but  he  will  also 
have  gained  a  valuable  store  of 
knowledge  about  other  phases  of 
domestic  life. 

T he  Dairy  Room. 

Several  new  machines  have  been 
installed  this  term  in the dairy  rooms, 
which  are  of  passing  interest.  Of 
is  the 
importance,  probably, 
most 
new  Tesla  ten  horse-power  motor, 
which,  with  belt  connection  to a  line 
shaft,  runs  most  of  the  machinery. 
From  F.  B.  F a r g o,  L a ke  Mills, 
Wisconsin,  has  been  received  a  com 
bined  churn  and  butter-worker,  in 
which  the  cream  is  churned  and  the 
butter  worked,  thus  obviating 
the 
influence  of  hotair  in  the  dairy  room. 
We  are  also  using  two steam  turbine 
separators—the  DeLaval  and  Sharp-
less—which  have  direct  connection 
with  a  high-pressure  boiler  at  the 
engine  house  and  are  giving 
the 
satisfaction.  An  A.  H. 
best  of 
Reid  "Overflow"  and  a  DeLaval 
" A l p h a"  have  been  received,  which 
will  be  installed  by  the  students  to 
give 
them  practice  in  setting  up 
such  machinery.

wish  the  power  were  given  me  to 
describe  t h e m; 
the  power  no  one 
has  ever  vet  possessed.  At  first  I 
must  confess  I  was  disappointed  in 
them,  for  where  I  expected  to  see  a 
noble  body  of  water,  vast  beyond 
conception,  falling 
into  the  gorge 
below,  I  saw  nothing  but  a  great 
white  mist  that  hid  everything  from 
view  and,  insinuating  itself  into  one's 
throat,  laid  the  foundation  of  future 
coughs  and  colds.  But  I  stood  on

Once,  too,  the  mist,  caught

a  momentary  glimpse  of  the  great

the  scene  of  my  next

we  find  the  State  experiment  station.

of  civilization.  W h at 
struck  me 
particularly  during  my  trip  was  the 
great  rivalry  existing  between  N ew 
York  and  Chicago.  Chicago  vilifies 
the  eastern  metropolis  at  every  op 
portunity  ;  N ew  Y o rk  retaliates  by 
calling  Chicago  a  "butcher's  shop." 
Leaving  N ew  Y o rk  I  returned 
by  way  of  Pennsylvania,  Ohio  and 
Indiana.  Fine  as  is  the  scenery  in 
N ew  Y o r k,  that  in  the  great  coal 
state  eclipses  it.  R u n n i ng  through 
the  "Quaker  city,"  the  railway  soon 
reaches  Pittsburg,  the  greatest  coal 
centre  in  those  parts.  F or  miles  the 
road  skirts  the  banks  of  the  Susque 
hanna,  one  of  the  most  picturesque 
of  all  the  American  rivers.  T h en 
through  Johnstown,  where  some 
few  years  ago  the  great  dam  burst, 
resulting  in  the  death  of  hundreds 
of  its  townspeople.  A nd  then,  bet 
ter  than  all,  the  Horseshoe  curve. 
It  was  night  when  we  reached 
the 
latter  spot,  but  a  bright  moon  and 
the  presence  of  snow  showed  up 
every  detail  as  plain  as  would 
the 
clearest  daylight.  Every  mile  of 
in 
track  brings  some  new  point  of 
trip 
terest  into  view,  and  the  whole 
from  N ew  Y o rk  to  Chicago  is  un 
doubtedly  one  of  the  finest  from  a 
scenic  point  of  view  in  the  northern 
states. 

Resolutions.

worker  for  the  good  of the  society, the  mem 
bers  will  ever  hold  his  memory  dear. 

Resolved,  That  we,  the  members  of  the 
Hesperian  Society,  offer  to  you  our  condol-
ance  and  sympathy  in  your  affliction. 

Resolved,  That  W.  D.  Hurd  represent

T he  new  College  plant  consists  of

the  Westinghouse  Electric  &  Man

is  one  of  peculiar  interest  and  value. 
T he  object  which  Nikola  Tesla 
sought  to  attain  when  he  began  his 
work  was 
the 
commutator—the  weak  point  and 
the  most  troublesome  element  in  all 
direct  current  machinery. 
Since 
Tesla  began  his  work  much  has 
been  done  to  improve  the  construc 
tion  of  commutators,  but  they  still 
remain  the  most  expensive  and 
the 
weakest  part  of  all  direct  current 
machinery.  Commutators  are  built 
of  a  large  number  of  pieces  separ 
ated  by  insulation  and  the  slightest 
crack  or  pin-hole  will  cause  a  break 
down  and  interruption  of  service. 
T he  Tesla  machine  has  a  collector 
which  consists  of  one  solid  piece 
permitting  the  use  of  heavy  insulat 
ing  material.  T he  collectors  run 
without  attention  for  almost 
indefi 
nite  periods  and  are  practically  not 
objectionable. 
In  the  Tesla  motors 
even  the  collectors  are  discarded. 
This  makes  the  operation  and  care 
of  a  motor  equal  to  the  simplicity  of

T he  larger  electric  light  and  power

practically  all  of  the  polyphase  type.

One  of  the  most  common  argu 
ments  against 
the  use  of  machin 
ery  is  that  of  the  displacement  of 
labor.  A  man  employing 
twenty 
men  purchases  a  machine  which 
enables 
same 
work,  and  the  other  five  are  dis 
charged.

And  over  against  the  "displace

"extension  of  labor"  caused  by 
the 
use  of  improved  machinery.  Mod 
ern  inventions  have  created  entirely 
new  professions,  giving  employment 
in 
to  whole  armies  of  men,  while 
many  industries  they  have  so cheap 
ened  the 
finished  product  that  the 
demand  has  greatly  increased.  Six

Old  Times  Come  Back* 

As  a party  of ten or  fifteen  M. A. 
C.  students,  ©n  their  way home  for 
vacation,  were  comfortably  seated in 
an  east-bound  Grand  T r u nk  coach, 
they  began  to while  away  the time 
by  singing  college  songs  and  giving 
the college yell at the  different  towns 
through  which  they  passed.  After 
a  time  they  were  accosted  by a large, 
jolly, good-natured  fellow, who  gave 
one  of  them  a  piece  of  paper  con 
taining  the following  jingle  evident 
ly  composed  for  the occasion: 

There  were  some  boys  got on a  train, 
They  all  had ev'rything  but  brain; 
They  sang  of  Cuba  and of  Spain, 
Of  winter's  winds  and summer's  rains; 
Their  fathers'  pockets  they  will  drain, 
But  never  will  his honor  stain. 
Good,  jolly  fellows,  come  again. 
T he  boys  afterward 

learned 

that 
this  gentleman  was t he  R e v.  J o hn 
Gray,  once  a student  here  with  the 
class of  '80, later  a student  and  grad 
uate  of  Adrian  college,  then  a  pro 
fessor  in  some  western  seminary, 
now  pastor  of  the  M. E. church  at 
Clio,  Michigan. 

W h at  memories  come  to the  col 
lege-bred  man roused  from  his book 
by  the  old  familiar  college  songs! 
His  book  drops  in  his  lap,  and he 
sinks  back  to  revel  amid  the pleas 
ures  of  the past.  Once  more  a  stu 
dent,  he  sits  in  the  twilight  of  his 
old  corner  room.  Oh the luxury of 
living  again  those  old  days,  even 
though  they  were  days  of  poverty! 
T he  heart-aches  and  head-aches  are 
forgotten  ;  but the  old  room,  littered 
with  bats  and  rackets,  class  colors 
and  pictures;  the  old  lamp  with 
cracked  chimney  and tattered  shade; 
the  ink  spattered  table;  the  never 
tidy  closet,  are  pictures  of  memory 
that  will  never  be  effaced.  With 
feet  on the  table  he  sits  again  at his 
open  window  and  listens  to the  rasp 
ing  notes  of  that  old cracked  violin 
in  the room  above — notes  now  mel 
low  with  a g e; the  harsh  cornet's 
brassy  blare  to  silvery  notes  have 
changed;  across the campus  float  the 
soothing  strains  of a sweet  serenade; 
he  hears the'busman's  " A ll  aboard," 
the  oilman's  " aw-il," the  study-hour 
bell,  then  "stu-dy  hour-r-s,"  but all 
sounds  by memory  heard  blend  in 
perfect  harmony.  A nd that  is  w hy 
professional  cares  and business  per 
plexities  vanish  from  thought  at the 
sound  of  the old college  songs.
