CAUSE OF. FERMENTATION
IN SILAGE DETERMINE
During the past several years con
siderable investigation has been carari
ed on by the Dairy Husbandry Depart
ment as to the nature of-the fermenta
tion of silage As a result of these ex
periments Professor Charles A. Hunt
er of the Bacteriological; Division _has
recently published in tho "Journal.of
Agricultural Research” an article on
Agricultural Research" an article on
the bacteriological and chemical studi
es of tho various kinds of'sUage. ■*
Canada field pcaS'and oats, and com
and soy beans are the principal mix
tures that Pennsylvania farmers axe
now using for silage, and the.studies
and experiments wore nrndo on these
two silage mixtures
, It was found that, from, a bacterio
logical and > chemical standpoint, little
.difference can "be noted between ■ the
fermentations that occur-in these two
silo mixtures.
, Besides this the question of whether
microorganisms or onzyras. cause the
fermentation of sllago was also studied
and the results proved that bacteria
are the principal cause of add forma
tion m silage However, the-hydrolysis

PRODUCTION TOPIC OF
ENGINEERS CONFERENCI
Importance of Standardization and
Time Study- Emphasized by
'Well Known Engineers
From the i standpoint of engineering
and Industrial progress, the confer
ence held during the past week at the
college was highly successful and
should prove to be one of the best their
was ever held under tho auspices of
this Institution Tms conference con
sisted-of three distinct ports because
each part hod Us contributor who dealt
with certain»topics and Is recognized
In the world of engineering as an
authority
Tho principal speaker iof the i first
; part of the program was Mr. L. W
i Wallace, Secretary of tho Federated
American Engineering Societies in
Washington The first prominent' pos
ition that Air Wollaco held was that of
Prof In Engineering School at Purdue
University from where he went to'Bal
timore as Dlrc-ctoi of the Red Cross In
stitute for the Blind. Soon after he
■ became President of the Society of In
dustrial Engineers, which position he
has held ever since > His address was
concerned with tho part that the en
gineer will play In tho future develop
ment of industry in this country. This'
topic wfis also discussed by Professor
Ketchum of the University of Pennsyl
vania, by A. G McKee of Cleveland
and by other men of note
The second paper was read by Frank
Gilbreth of Montclair, Now Jersey,! who
is an industrial engineer of tho 'first
rank. Mr Gilbreth has, devoted him
self to the study of standardization as
a means of reducing tho ‘cost of pro
duction'and In-thls work has used the
moving picture machine In time study
of men engaged In various industrial
occupations These studies are for the
purpose of simplifying operations con
nected with any occupation by train
ing a man or by changing a machine
In order that greater production may
be obtalnod with a saving of time'and
of effort. He is also a pioneer in the
application of the movihg picture ma
chine to the needs of industry. An In
teresting feature of this part of the •
program _ was the. discussion ledj by
Mis.-Gilbreth who is the only woman
that has been honored by membership
In the Society of Industrial Engineers.
The third topic was presented by! Mr
Alfred D Flinn of the National ! Re
search Council and Secretary of ] the
United Engineering Societies In New
York. Mr. FMnn is an author of prom
inence and his books on water works
engineering have gained for him [un
usual recognition in this branch of In
dustrialism The subject of his talk
was an elaboralon of tthe contribution
which the college trained technical man
can make In the Interest of engineer
ing research work
After the close of this program, the
guests of the college and all attend
ants of tho conference were Invited to
inspect the New Mechanical engineer
ing laboratory The general arrange
ment, the lighting, and- tho general ar
chitectural appearance' was admired

*' ■ -two Jaots, but if, so, apparently they knew them
only as, two:isolated facts. -Tesla considered
them iri‘ combination and the result -was the
~-Tesla motor, or what is now known-broadly as
the “induction motor.” These two-facts, in
combination, represent a fundamental 'concep

Naturally, Westinghouse, having fought single

polyphase circuits, while all easting circuits
were single phase? "What if it did require
lower frequency than any existing commercial
circuits? These were merely details of the future
universal alternating system. The important
thing was to obtain an ideally simple type of
alternating current motor, which Tesla’s inven
tionoffcred. Teslafurnishedthefundamentalidea.
He and his associates, working for Mr. West
inghouse, proved that thoroughly operative
induction motors could be built, provided suitable
frequencies and phases were available. What
matter if they did not produce an operative
commercial system at the time? What matter if
it needed the powerful analytical engineers of
later date to bring the system to a truly prac
ticable stage—men with, intimate constructive
knowledge of magnetic circuits—men on intimate
terms with reactive coefficients and other magnetic
attributes totally unknown to Tesla and his co
workers? In time the motor was made com
mercial, and it has been a tremendous factor in
revolutionizing the electrical industry.
Probably no one electrical device has had more
liigh-power analytical and mathematical ability
expended upon it than the induction motor.
The practical result has been one of the simplest
and most effective types of power machinery in
use today. Thus Tesla’s fundamental ideas and
Wcstinghouse’s foresight ha\ c led to an enormous
advance in the world’s development.
