at  a  meeting  of 
Jackson  yesterday;  but  M.  A.  C. 
has 
to  put  up  a  bonus  of  $200, 
which  has  already  been  pledged  by 
Lansing  merchants,  and  to  furnish 
suitable  track,  skin  diamond,  tennis 
courts,  place  for  evening  events,  and 
entertainment  for  visiting  ladies.  A 
great  deal  of  important  business  was 
transacted  at 
the  meeting,  but  a

First,  there  comes  the  question, 
does  the  history  of  alcohol  date  back 
the  uncertain,  unknown  past, 
to 
when  the 
juice  was  first  squeezed 
from  bunches  of  grapes,  allowed  to 
stand  for  a  time  and  then  drank  for 
the  exhilerating  effects  produced,  or 
at  a  later  date  when  the  first  crude 
distillery  was  used?  To  comprom 
ise  it  will  perhaps  be 
the  better 
way  to  go  back  into  history  as  far 
as  possible.

As  has  been  intimated,  the  time

is  believed,  however,  that 
the  distinction  existed  in  name  more 
than  in composition.  Some  of  these 
early  nations  suffered  baneful  effects 
from 
their  excessive  use,  even  at 
that  time  when  distilled  liquors  were

As  soon  as  wine  or  other  like  be\ -
erages  took  the  place  of  pitch,  the 
true history  of  alcohol  began.  From 
that  time  until  this,  discoveries  and 
speculations  regarding  it  have  never 
ceased.  There  have  been  many  er 
roneous  ideas  as  to  its  effects,  and 
until  the  last  century  its  effects  were 
not  analyzed  with  a  great  degree  of 
accuracy.

No  treatise  on  it  was  attempted,  a> 
far  as  is  known,  until  the  year  1616. 
A  scientific  work  was

T he  session  of  Friday 

forenoon, 
presided  over  by  Prof.  Smith,  was 
the  dairy  session  of  the  Round-up. 
T he  selection  of  the  dairy  cow  had 
been  discussed  on  Wednesday,  her 
feeding  on  Thursday,  and  at 
this 
meeting  the  manufacture  of  the  pro 
duct  was  taken  up. 

T he  comparative  advantages  of 
the  creamery  and  the  home  dairy 
were  discussed.  M r.  E.  A.  Croman 
of  Grass  Lake,  presenting  the  side 
of  the  creamery;  J.  H.  Brown  of 
Climax,  that  of  the  home  dairy,  and 
Gordon  H.  T r ue  of  the  Agricul 
tural  College,  leading  in  the  discus 
sion.  Prom  the  talks  givea  and  the 
discussion  thereafter,  the  following 
is  taken: 

According  to  the  census  of  1890, 
the  butter 
only  five  per  cent,  of 
the 
made  in  Michigan  is  made  in 
creameries.  Of  the Michigan  cream 
eries,  however,  fully  one-half  are 
idle,  shut  up  on  account  of  poor  lo 
cation  or  mismanagement.  We  are 
making  more  good  butter  than  for 
merly  because  more  butter  is  made 
in  our  creameries.  A  creamerv  in 
order 
to  be  a  success,  must  have 
milk;  this  must  be  good  clean,  pure 
milk.  T he  company  must  have 
good  officers  and  above  all  things, 
a  good  butter  maker  who  must 
study  the  demands  of  his  customers 
and  satisfy  them. 
It  is  the  best  pri 
vate  dairymen  w ho  are  giving  up 
their  dairies  to  patronize  creameries, 
it 
—they  understand  how  much 
costs  to  make  butter  at  home. 
It  is 
estimated  that  butter  fat  is  produced 
at  a  cost,  for  food  alone,  of  not  less 
the 
than  12  cents  a  pound,  while 
average  price  of  so-called  farmers' 
butter 
that 
amount  and  in  a  majority  of  cases

very  interesting  talk  by  Hon.  C.  W. 
Garfield  of  Grand  Rapids.  He  de 
scribed  the  condition  now  existing 
in  southern  Michigan  which  had 
been  brought  about  by  the 
removal 
of  the  forests.  A  change  of  climate, 
shown  by  the  more  sudden  changes 
in  temperature,  by  the  fitfulness  of 
the  rains  and  the  greater  violence  of 
the  winds.  T he  available  water 
supply  had  been  greatly 
lessened 
because  a  much  greater  amount  of 
the 
the 
streams 
than  formerly.  T he  pro 
ductiveness  of  the  land  had  been  de 
creased  and  the  southern  portion  of 
so  pleasant  a 
our  State  was  not 
place  for  a  home  because  of 
forest 
denudation. 
In  northern  Michigan 
a  large  part  of  the  forests  still  re 
mained  and  he  urged  J h at

the  planting 
trees  of  the  poorer  lands  in  that  sec 
tion  and  showed  how  quickly  pay 
ing  returns  would  come  from 
this

tained  as  a  State  forest  reserve;  but 
claimed  that,  particularly  along  the 
west  side  of  the  State  from  Mason 
north  to  Charlevoix  county,  the  soil 
and  climate  were  admirably  adapted 
to  fruit  culture;  while  other 
large

in  Wexford  and 
Kalkaska  counties  and  in  the  north

could  be  found

T.  B.  Terry,  of  Hudson,  Ohio,

tatoes  in  a  D ry  Season." 
In  order 
to  store  water  in  the  soil  to  carry 
crops 
through  a  drouth,  the  pres 
ence  of  a  large  amount  of  humus  is 
desirable.  By  turning  under  clover 
the  land  will  be  brought  into  good 
condition  for  the  potato, or  any  other 
crop, provided  it is of  a suitable  nature 
and  contains  plenty  of  plant  food. 
M r.  T e r ry  grows  medium  early  va 
rieties,  as  he  follows  the  potato  crop 
with  wheat.  T he  seed  is planted  in 
drills  32  inches  apart,  and  from  12  to 
20  inches  in  the  rows,  and  covered 
about  four  inches.  On  his  soil  eight 
bushels  per  acre  gives  good  results. 
T he  ground  is  worked  three  times 
with  a  smoothing  harrow,  and  when 
the  rows  can  be  distinguished  a  cul 
tivator  is  used.  After  that  a  weeder 
is  used  several  times,  and  up  to  the 
time  the  tops  cover  the  ground 
the 
ground  is  worked  at 
least  once  a 
week,  and  as  soon  as  it  is  in  a  suit

with  a  narrow-toothed

Since  revolutionary 

To  within  the  last  century  it  has 
been  the  rule  for  a  large  percentage 
of  working  men  to  drink  in  propor 
tion  to  the  amount  they  were  able 
to  buy.  One  example  is  enough  to 
illustrate  this.  F o ur  barrels  of  beer, 
sixty 
gallons  of 
fifty-four 
pounds  of  sugar,  and  four  hundred 
sixty-four  lemons  were  required  to 
assist 
in  erecting  a 
small  log  church  in  N ew  England. 
there 
has  been  a  sentiment  against  the  use 
of  alcoholic  drinks,  which  has  con 
stantly  increased.  During  the  pres 
ent  century  the  use  of  them  as  bev 
erages  has  decreased  to  a  great  ex 
tent.  This  may  not  seem  true  when 
one  reads  of 
large  quantities 
the 
consumed  at  the  present  time;  but 
an  examination  will  show  that  it  has 
decreased,  though  the  day  is  far  dis 
tant  when  it  will  be  used  for  nothing 
but  medicine  or  other  scientific  pur 
poses.  Like  many  drugs 
the  use 
of  alcohol  is  followed  by  baneful 
effects.  Opium  in  China  is  consid 
ered  parallel  with  alcohol  in  Amer 
ica  and  other  nations,  though 
the 
effects  of  the  former  are  a  great 
deal  worse.  W h en  alcohol  takes  a 
parallel  place  with  other  ingredients 
for  man's  benefit  and  not  his  harm, 
it  will  have 
filled  a  place  now 
vacant.

Other  Poems."  The  book  is bound  in  peb 
bled  white  cloth  with  blue  and  gilt 
trim 
mings,  contains  185 pages,  and  is  printed  on 
It  is

voted  to  College  poems  there  is  hardly  a 
page  that  does  not  suggest  sweet  memories 
of  days  gone  by,  not  only  for  the  student  o 
the  sixties  but  for  the  student  of  the  nineties 
as  well.  Everybody  who  has  seen  the  work 
is delighted  with  it.—M.  A. C.  RECORD,  Feb.
