If cows in Michigan develop the
weakness or strength that humans
find in having "a sweet tooth" then
part of the credit for the achievement can he given the farm crops
department at Michigan State College. Two silos filled with alfalfa,
one filled mixed with molasses, will
be opened at 9 a. m. for inspection
by farmers visiting the college campus on the annual Farmers' Day, Friday, July 31.
During the day's program built
around the state's celebration of having more than a million acres in
alfalfa this year, more than any other
state, all departments at the college
will participate in decribing experimental work. Test plots for crops,
livestock and machinery and buildings can be inspected in the morning. A program of speeches will be
held in the afternoon.
The two silos containing the alfalfa
and the molasses and alfalfa are
located on the college farm on Mt.
Hope road about a mile south of the
main campus. Haymaking demonstrations will be held in an adjoining
field.
According to H. C. Rather, head
of the farm crops department at
Michigan State College, the new
method of ensiling alfalfa is evidently one of the most valuable of the
recent development in agricultural
experiment work. During wet
weather or in late fall, the method
promises to permit saving- the alfalfa
crop with excellent feeding quality.
Similar silage has been made and fed
on a commercial scale at the W. K.
Kellogg farm and upper peninsula
sub stations of the college.

From The Observer of July 14,' 1881*
Workmen, rebuilding a house on
Allen street last week, came upon
several counterfeit coins hidden behind the plaster. The coins were in
an old tobacco sack and as the plaster was taken off, the sack and the
coins came to light. They were all
dated .1888, but were evidently made
some time later than that.
The house is'the property of Mrs.
Carmen Theurer of Ann Arbor and
was formerly part of the Charles
McMullen estate. John Dyer, Ann
Arbor builder, is doing the work of
remodeling the house into 'a two
family apartment house.
The coins evidently date back to
a time late in tlie 90's when a gang
of federal counterfeiters were operating in this area.' Many of the older residents of the community recall
the gang, but not a great deal of
definite information regarding the
operations of the gang seems to be
available. The story of the counterfeiters, their capture and sentence
seems to have become somewhat of
legend, but the coins recovered last
week renews the interest in the story.

Work is progressing rapidly on
the new engine house which Messrs.
Davenport & Son are building for
the benefit of our town. If only the
citizens who subscribed towards paying for the hose and hose-cart were
as prompt in fulfilling their part of
the agreement as are Messrs. Davenport & Son in fulfilling theirs, there
would be no trouble in soon having
things in running order.

Prospective chick buyers are warned to watch out for a new racket
which recently was carried out in a
nearby county.
It seems that farmers have been
ofEered baby chicks from personal
callers who brought the chioks right
with them offering to sell them at
a price below normal.
It later appeared that evidently
these clever chick salesmen had
been purchasing male sexed chicks
from some hatcheryman who had
sold off the pullets to someone else
and when the chicks which were
peddled on the road grew up they
of course proved to be all cockerels.
Sexed chicks have been more in
demand during recent years and it
it is possible that this scheme will be
tried again.

Two silos filled with alfalfa, one filled mixed with molasses, will be opened at 9 a. m. for inspection by farmers visiting the college campus on the annual Farmers' Day, Friday, July 31. During the day's program built around the state's celebration of having more than a million acres in alfalfa this year, more than any other state, all departments at the college will participate in decribing experimental work. Test plots for crops, livestock and machinery and buildings can be inspected in the morning. A program of speeches will be held in the afternoon. The two silos containing the alfalfa and the molasses and alfalfa are located on the college farm on Mt. Hope road about a mile south of the main campus. Haymaking demonstrations will be held in an adjoining field. According to H. C. Rather, head of the farm crops department at Michigan State College, the new method of ensiling alfalfa is evidently one of the most valuable of the recent development in agricultural experiment work. During wet weather or in late fall, the method promises to permit saving- the alfalfa crop with excellent feeding quality. Similar silage has been made and fed on a commercial scale at the W. K. Kellogg farm and upper peninsula sub stations of the college.

From The Observer of July 14,' 1881* Workmen, rebuilding a house on Allen street last week, came upon several counterfeit coins hidden behind the plaster. The coins were in an old tobacco sack and as the plaster was taken off, the sack and the coins came to light. They were all dated .1888, but were evidently made some time later than that. The house is'the property of Mrs. Carmen Theurer of Ann Arbor and was formerly part of the Charles McMullen estate. John Dyer, Ann Arbor builder, is doing the work of remodeling the house into 'a two family apartment house. The coins evidently date back to a time late in tlie 90's when a gang of federal counterfeiters were operating in this area.' Many of the older residents of the community recall the gang, but not a great deal of definite information regarding the operations of the gang seems to be available. The story of the counterfeiters, their capture and sentence seems to have become somewhat of legend, but the coins recovered last week renews the interest in the story. —Milan Leader.

It seems that farmers have been ofEered baby chicks from personal callers who brought the chioks right with them offering to sell them at a price below normal. It later appeared that evidently these clever chick salesmen had been purchasing male sexed chicks from some hatcheryman who had sold off the pullets to someone else and when the chicks which were peddled on the road grew up they of course proved to be all cockerels. Sexed chicks have been more in demand during recent years and it it is possible that this scheme will be tried again.
