Specialist* of the department hav<
been investigating the comparative

sion that there is nothing to recom
mend the Turkestan variety for gen
eral use in this country. It Is, the)1
day. particularly unsulted to
humid climate of the East, which
a* a matter of fact, uses most of th
Turkestan seed lmporetd Into tfaii

ever, are careful to distinguish be
1 tween commercial Turkestan alfalf:
and special strains of hardy alfalfa1
that have been developed from cer
tain introductions of seed fronj
Turkestan. Valuable varieties o
alfalfas unquestionably exist In oen

that Deal would fill the place at

The long, line of m?n and boys
nearly fcmr blocks long waiting for

a sdrrr spectacle. Many of

the series was enormous, and, as

"The toct that thousands of people
thronged Robinson's Famous Shows'
tents proves that the love ?C
the circus is Inherent In the blood of
humanity as long as the red corpuscles
erlst. When a man no longer
loves the smell o( the sawdust
arena he has surely arrived at the
lean and slippery age when he fain
must crouch before the fire to warm
his thin blood.
"Though our locks may be gray
and onr footsteps slow, the tented
city, the gold and tinsel, the odor
of the dens, the smiling, bespangled,
adorable creatures in filmy pink and
cream appeal to us still, and sad. will
be the day when we shall cease to be
thrilled by this most ancient tmt still
modern,, this altogether delightful
potpourri of grandeur and nonsentoe,
of resdity and sham, the circus."
