The world seems to be full of cheer

''They tell u.s." he says, shat If a
man quits work he soon rusts out; but
I don't find that to be true. haven't
done stroke of work in four years,
but I don't feel a bit rusty yet, not
bit.

when I was seventy or thereabouts !;
but I don't want to take it up.
II don't think anybody is entitled
to anything unless he works for it ; but
I think I have earned a rest. worked
hard for fifty years; in that time 1
did about one hundred years work. So,
as I figure it, there is still rightfully
due me about 45 years Of leisure.
"In other words, I should have to
live to be about one hundred and twen-

properly apply to me; and hope
shall live at least that long and all the

karakuI Fur,

Karakul, Persian lamb and Astra-
khan furs come from the regions about
BOkhara, in Turkestan. Before the
war almost all Of them were dyed and
treated at Leipsic, where two houses
alone received 10000 skins, with a
yearly value Of about $2,7OOOO
The race of sheep known as Kara
kul is native of Turkestan, and it's
special home is in the vast sandy des-
ert plains of Bokhara. The lambs are
born covered with an abundant fleece,
down to their hoofs and as far as their
eyes. This fleece is formed of black
strands tightly curled against the skin.
II the animal be killed within three
days of it's birth and skinned at once
the fleece remains unchanged. AS it
grows, however, the curls untwist, and
after it once has been sheared the wool
grows with scarcely trace of curl.

LONG -DRAvvN-oUT ELoQUENCE
Speeches That Occupy Day May Be
Brilliant, but Are Apt to Be
Somewhat Tiresome.

There was a commercial case of
land, in which it was expected that
one at least of counsel would take
eight days for his speech. With all
respect for learned professor, but in
amicable candor, it is hard not to COM
miserate any judge that may have to
listen to speech of this length. 1t
may be made by the cleverest and
most eloquent of men, but the fact is
that by the eighth day, the facts and
the tropes of the first are pretty well
faded. The value of these long
speeches by counsel consists largely
in the notes that the judge has taken,
provided he followed the argument,
which is by no means always the case.
We have, to be sure, the splendid per-
formances at Warren Hastings inn
parchment, where we are assured that
ladies of the most exalted station
swooned in sheer admiration and aw-
full wonder at the genius displayed.
So be it; they swooned, though we
have to point out that swooning at
that period was a pretty general ac-
complishment; nevertheless, it is fair
to say that Burke and Fox and Sheri-
dan in point of fact were rather above
the average counsel in eloquence,
though Sergeant Saunders could have
made any of the three 'look foolishY

Hundreds Of Varieties of Figs

The fig family, Moraceae, is one of
the largest in the vegetable world.
Botanists have identified and de-

tropical evergreens, frequently Of gi-

epiphytic. The species Ficus carica

also Ficus sycomorus, the fruit of
which is consumed with relish by
Egyptians; Ficus roxburghii, native of
lower slopes of the Himalaya noun

of very large size, in massive clusters,

Why Dance Party Is "Ball."

Ball play in church by the dean and
choir boys Of Naples was curious old
custom during the "Feast of Fools at
Easter. The boys danced around the
dean singing an antiphon. The dean
had a ball which he threw to them, and
they caught it while dancing.
Later at private dancing parties the
dancers threw ball to each other as,
to the sound of their own voices, they
whirled around in sets. The pastime
consisted in loosening hands in time to
catch the ball. Dancing has long sur
vived this strange game, but dancing
party is still called a ball.

ty. Mr.. A. w. Trow OF Glenville,
Aim, gave q very interesting talk
on silos and proper food for dairy
cattle. He showed q chart giving
the feeding value of red clover, tim
othy, silage and oat stock, when he
was interrupted by one of the Career
county with the question, why
don't you give the feeding value Of
alfalfa?" Mr.. Trow Strengthened up
his shoulders and said, I'VE try to
make these talks practical and do
not give the feeding value of alfalfa
because it cannot be grown in Mime
sota," and ! interrupted Mr.. Trow
by stating that the man who had
spoken had a barn full of alfalfa
and these men had been growing al
falfa for years. He was dumb
founded and realized that his re-
marks did not fit in we'll in this case.
I was now convinced beyond question
that the farmers of Carver county
had a hardy variety of alfalfa and I
told many people four discovery.
In 1900 / attended the annual
summer meeting Of the horticultural
society at St. Anthony. told Pro-
lessor w. M. Hayes, agronomist at
the Minnesota station, of our hardy
alfalfa. l had told Professor Tom
Shaw in 1890 the same story, but he
paid no attention to it. Professor
Hayes piled me with questions and
he said, "Do you realize the import
ance of what you are stating If it is
true?" Professor Hayes and Pro-
fessor Andrew Boss drove out to our
place, a distance of thirty miles,
with station team to investigate my
story. They left their team at our
place and took three days in looking
up this Carver county alfalfa. On
commenting on their findings Pro-
fessor Hayes turned to Professor
Boss and aid, II am satisfied that
this marks the beginning of alfalfa
for the west" Later, Professor
Hayes became assistant secretary of
agriculture at Washington and was
instrumental in getting the depart
ment of agriculture to thoroughly in
vestigate the value of this new al
falfa. In 1903 he wrote Press Bulle-
tin No. 20 in which he named this
new alfalfa Grimm at my sugges-
ton.
For a number of years the intro
duction of this new alfalfa was an
uphill proposition as it was difficult
to get people to believe that it was
superior to other kinds and today it
is simply question of getting seed
that is genuine. The demand is al
ready established.

still could not understand where
the difference lay.
About this time an article on al
falfa appeared in the Minneapolis
Tribune, written by Professor Shaw,
telling of the great feeding value of
alfalfa, also stating that it could not
be grown in Minnesota, except in
Carver county, attributing our sue
cess to soil conditions.
The following summer while in
the western part of Carver county,
had dinner with man named Bahde
and after dinner he stated, Lyman,
! wish you would explain me some
thing" He said, "You see that hill
yonder?" and I said, Eyes" do
you see the fence going over that
hill?" and i again stated, yes"
Then he said, "The land on this side

Kemke planted alfalfa on his side
and he planted on his side of THE
fence-both fields being planted at
the same time and under identical
conditions. He said, This spring
my alfalfa is entirely dead while you
see Mr. Kemke has a perfect stand
I had begun to read between the
lines and said to Mr.. Bahde, "Mr.
Kemke got his seed from Peterman
"a farmer in Carver county," and
he said, YES" l said, "You didn't
get your seed from Peterman," and
he replied, mo, l bought my seed
from a seed house in st. Paul" At
the same time his face began to shine
as he realized that his failure and
Kemke's success was due to the
source of their seed.

THE MYSTERY OF
CRIMM'S ALFALFA
Discoverer of Popular
Seed Tells Story of
Development

In 1857 man named Grimm
brought some alfalfa seed with him
from Germany, and he settled in Car
yer county, Minnesota. This seed
was from a distinctly different plant
from the alfalfa that came to us
through the Spaniards in Mexico,
but it was not known at that time.
1t was not hardy plant, but 1t had
the possibilities of development
through being propagated in cold
climate.
My attention was first called to
this alfalfa in 1881 while at the farm
of Tobia Ottinger, some ten or fit.
teen miles west Of our home. Mr..
Ottinger enumerated its superiori-
ties over red clover. That winter
my father purchased in Minneapolis
few pounds of ordinary alfalfa and
we planted it in the end of field
that we were seeding to red clover
and secured most excellent stand.
The next spring we were surprised
to find that our new clover was en-
tirely eliminated by wintef-killing
In 1890 I taught school in the wes-
tern part of Carver county and found
that a great many of the farmers had
fields of ten or fifteen acres of Eve
clay Everlasting Clover" The chill
dren in school often used the express
sion, "The horses like Everlasting
Clover" l became greatly interest
ed in this new hay and took a sam
pie home to my father to show him
its superiority over red clover, of
which we had an abundance. I said
nothing about the Importance of
getting Carver county seed. My
father again purchased in Minneap-
oils one-half bushel of good looking
alfalfa seed. We planted two acres
in barley adjoining the road and Sc
cured most excellent stand That
winter was winter of heavy snow
protection and our alfalfa came thru
in perfect condition. ! called the at
tention of many Of the neighbors to
this new clover, telling them that it
was Everlasting, and some showed
a great deal Of interest. You can
guess our surprise at finding the fol.
lowing spring that our two acres of
alfalfa was entirely winter-killed.
AS had come home so enthusiastic
in regard to this new clover, I was
somewhat the laughing stock of the
family. However, during the sum-
mer met in Chaska one of the Car
yer county Germans who had large
acreage of this alfalfa, and I asked
him, How is your "Ewe-clay?" He
