United States that we can grow our
 own supply. The $100,000,0o0 our peo-
 pie pay for sugar every year is the purse
 hung up for them, for which they are
 striving. Some of the experiments
 with the beet have been discouraging
 because the conditions were not fa- l vorable. The sugar beet requires 10,- 900 units of heat for its successful cul- 1 tivation. Climate and soil must be chosen with care
 Another thing this department is doing is to investigate the experiments
 which have been going on in the south for the cultivation of tea. I have let ter here now from the man who has
 been conducting the tea farm about his
 work and how he has taught the little colored children to pick the leaves. He is getting better tea there than we can get from Ceylon or Formosa. am hay ing an investigation made to ascertain the isotherm on which he is working. so that we can calculate how much of the territory of the United States is adapt ed to the cultivation of tea.
 Another thing we have done is to undertake the investigation of the for estry question. Not long ago this de- partment sent to the senate report on coniferous trees, showing the destruc- tion of our forests. Pine is growing scarcer every year, you know, so that it has become almost as costly as black walnut. The time will come when it will be too expensive for general use; indeed, they are talking already about building cars of steel. What interests
 us just now, though, more than the de- struction of the pine, is the planting of trees in the more arid region. I have a man in Asia making investigations of the subject.
 "These are only some of the things we
 have begun to do. This department has more than go divisions Their work is |all important. I have not had time yet to become well acquainted with more than three or four of the divisions. But as to the value of the agricul- tural departments work, it is spread ing all the time. Example is more eff fective than precept. Most men are go- ing to keep on in the way of their ia thers and their grandfathers until they look over the fence and see their neigh- bors a3sng some thing different.v

 ..They ate. A farmers meeting to- day is very different from what it was few years ago. The farmer to-day would not listen to the talk he used to hear. The doctor and the preacher used to be asked to speak sometimes. and they would make humorous re- marks. Nowadays the farmer would not stand that a minute. Thetalk you hear at his meetings now is all practical. Farming has become science. Take dairying for example. It is as different from the old dairying as the transports ation of to-day is from that of 100 years ago. The farmers wife used to throw away one-third of the butter fat in her milk. To-day the separator saves every bit of it. We make in this coun- try to-day the finest butter and cheese in the world England makes nothing like it. Unfortunately we have been sending abroad oleomargarine Y the stuff they rub into a sheep's wool to keep the rain out; and we have sent cheeses which were filled with cotton seed oil. The Englishman has got his idea of our dairy products from these, and he does not want them. I am try ing to find a market abroad for our best cheeses and butter, and I am try ing to have the restrictions removed from our meat products.
 There have been so many gibes at the agricultural department that I asked the secretary if he believed it had really done any good in the few years of it's existence.
 Did you ever eat navel orange?" he said in reply. "The parent tree is here. It was brought from Brazil and cuttings from it were distributed over the country by the department Sor- ghum was introduced into the United States by the department of agrieul- ture.

1 as could possibly be spared were taken away. As fast as the turns" on the
 trapezes were done, they were deftly pulled down, hustled outside through Q flap in the tent, and loaded upon wag-
 ons waiting to carry them to the train.
 In the dressing tent the performers who had finished their parts were getting
 out of their costumes, donning the dress of ordinary citizens; and each, as soon
 as he accomplished this, betook himself to the depot. Some went by trolley car, some rode on the circus trucks, and some walked It was the same with the performing animalsas fast as their work was finished they were hus- tied away.
 It kept the boy pretty busy to watch all this and so he missed the finale of the big show. But he heard the cry of sall over," and was on hand in time to see the marvellous way the rows of seats were taken down and bundled up as fast as the spectators vacated them, until barely enough were left to accom- modate those who remained to hear "the grand concert" A few minutes later, as the last strains of the concert were heard, the last spectators were hustled out and the remaining seats packed and shipped. The final opera tions, which included the lowering of the big canvas and the taking down of the big poles were gone through with in perfect frenzy.
 ''Get ready!" yelled the chief fore man. At every remaining stake two men were posted; three were standing at each of the big poles. The men at the stakes loosened the ropes; the men
 t the poles grasped the halyards. Every man jack of them stood tense of mus cle, strained of nerve, waiting for the next command.
 Let go!" sung out the foremali-- and the mammoth canvas settled to the earth. beliying ant filling as 1t settled As it reached the level of the ground men sprang forward; and almost before the young spectator could realize it the great pieces of cloth were unlaced and folded and loaded on the wagons. 4 few moments later the big poles were down; and ther in surprisingly short time the last wagon had left, and the scene of all this breathless activity wan deserted end empfy-

broken bolts mended. and a loose tire was being set.
 These things were so expressing to the boy that he nearly missed seeine the animals receive their noonday meal. bale of hay was placed before each elephant and disposed of in n snrpris. ingiy short time, and joints of juicy red meat were given to the hesh-eatinp beasts. But that no time might be lost. the horses were being groomed while they mnnched at their oats, and the other performing beasts were rubbed and put in trim even as they fed. Then big gong rang out. there was the sound of bugle, and the band began to play under the great circus tent: the grand entrance was on, and the boy wondered how many other curious operations he had missed.
 After the matinee performance. as soon as the men had eaten supper, preparations for removal were renewed. The blacksmith shop and the mess tent were the first to go down. While yet the work of striking the eanyasea and loading them on the wagons was in
  progress the evening performance had begun, and before it was half over the stable tent was attacked, its canvas lowered, it's big poles slowed, and the whole loaded on big truck which had been backed into position by the aid of a trained elephants trunk. Then followed the lowering of the menagerie tent, and the shutting down of the coy CTS of the animals cages.
 Long before the night performance was over, the "tent gang to the num- Der of 150, stood ready to strike the big circus canvas. This gang was divided into three sections of 50, each com manded by foreman, and all three directed by "head foreman" Each section looked after some special part of the work. First, even while the crowd under the canvas was still watching the performance, all the stakes except just enough to hold a few guy ropes in place were loosened, and as many of the strengthening ropes

cred with great canvases. The wheeled cages containing the lions, the tigers, the hyenas, the wolves, and all the other animals to be exhibited behind gratings, were driven under the menag- erie tent through which the spectators pass to see the ring shows. The trained horses, elephants and other educated brutes that were to take part in these shows, were placed in smaller tents which had been pitched near the two big ones while the parade was in prog ress. Much work besides the raising of these tents, such as preparing the rings and the arena. was still in progress. Seats were being unloaded from the lbig trucks and put in place, the flying trapezes were being swung, all the other 'whirligigs" were being fixed, and the big gasoline chandeliers were being hoisted up the great center poles.
 At first the busy scene seemed to the boy like dire confusion. Four or five orders were shouted out at once, and the workmen, divided apparently into little squads and clad in half dozen styles of uniform, appeared half the time to be falling over one another in their haste. But even as the lad was wondering if order would ever be brought out of the chaos, he perceived that the work was practically com pleted and everything ready for the aft ernoon performance.
 Then he went exploring elsewhere, only to find that many wonderful things of which he had seen nothing had been accomplished. The mess tent, under which the several hundred circus em- ployes eat, had long ago been raised; the long tables had been spread, and the walters were already rushing about, getting things ready to serve the wait ing army of hungry men. In the cooks tent everybody was breathlessly busy. From the great iron pots and cauldrons savory smells arose, and the fragrance of coffee was everywhere. Soon the ladling out of the soup began, in full sight of ring of hungry gamins who all wished that they too were circus em- ployes. In the meantime the dressing tents were being raised to the accom- paniment of much shouting and some emphatic language. The tent black smith shop was already in full blast horseshoes were being forged and

The farmer who slls his corn at 15 cents bushel can ness in rags, let his hair grow long, nd yell over hard times; but the farm who gets return of 50 cents bushel his corn can slap his thigh and be erry over the return of prosperity" nd the secretary slapped his thigh gorously to illustrate and emphasize remark

 Mir Wilson went south with the pres ent in his recent trip; he found two Pings that interested him, he says. 1e was that the women of the south 7e accepted the result of the war; least, those whom Mr. Wilson met

 To see how circus performance is run from the beginning to the break np, preparatory to the start for the next town, is a memorable experience; at least it proved so to boy of my ac- quaintance who enjoyed it not long ago Indeed, it could not fail of being inn pressiye even to "grown-up;" for aside from the performances them selves, the task of systemizing the operations necessary to the successful carrying on of a big show is difficult and complicated, involving much skill in the planning, and a lot of that quail ity known as executive ability" in the doing. There are a thousand things to be done that nobody but practical cir GUS folk ever hear about; and all must be done on time.
 Some of the most important of these things are connected with the transpor- tation of the show. This was the first thing the boy noticed He had intended to witness the unloading of the wagons from the railroad ears, but he missed it; and as he stopped to see the big street parade, his arrival at the grounds was simultaneous with the return of the wagons, the animals, and the per formers concerned in that interesting display. Preparations for loading up again, he observed, were begun at once.
 The horses were stripped of their gor- geous trappings, which were immedi- ately packed away. All the gi1ded floats, band wagons and other wheeled contraptions not used in any of the tent shows were drawn into line and GOV
