WAsHINGToN's INAUGURATION.
Historic Scene When He First Tool
the Oath as President,

Historic Scene when He FIRST TOOK
the Oath as President.
OF all the monuments that have been
erected to American heroes and states
men none seems more fitting and appro-
pirate than the great bronze statue of
George Washington on the steps of the
subtreasury building al Wall and Broad
streets, New York City. This splendid
likeness of the Father of His Country
marks the exact spot where he stood
when he took the oath of office on April
30, 1889. Furthermore, it marks the
exact financial center Of the nation
whose destinies Washington so ardent
ly proclaimed to Congress and the as
sembled multitude on that faroff day.
When Gen. Washington, on his way
from Philadelphia. came up the bay
in handsomely decorated barge all the
vessels in the harbOr except one were
decked with flags, and there was a con-
tinuous roar of saluting guns. The sin
gle vessel which wore no gala dress
was the Spanish man-of-war Galveston.
She stood off Governors Island black
grim anu SlltIl. mere WAS Il
feeling of indignation among the crowds
on shore when this was noticed, but at
the moment when the Presidents barge
came abreast the warship the Calves
tons yards were manned as if by magic
and her rigging burst into a bloom of
futtering flags as her guns crashed out
the presidential salute. Arm in arm
with Gen. Knox, Gen. Washington walk
ed across Battery park. A carriag &c
was in waiting to convey the Presi-
dent to his lodgings in Cherry street.
but he preferred to walk. leading a
civic and military parade up Broadway.
At dawn on the following day the
national salute was fired at Bowling
Green. Gen. Washington arrived with
a military and civic escort at Federal
hall at noon and was led to the Senate
chamber. As he entered Vice President
Adams said:
Sir, the Senate and House of Repre-
sentativeS of the United States are
ready to attend you to take the oath
required by the constitution which will
DE duInlulSteIeu Dy the cndDcelIOf OF
the State of New York"
Il am ready to proceed said Gen.
Washington.
The Vice President, Senators and
chancellor then led the way to the
open outside gallery, and thereon the
spot where the statue now stands-the
oath of office was administered As
Gen. Washington stepped upon the bal
cony the multitude in the street burst
into cheers. Gen. Washington wore
suit of dark brown cloth, white silk
stockings, silver shoe buckles, and at
his side there hung a steel hilted sword.
His commanding figure lowered above
those who stood about him. AS he
kissed the Bible and said Il swear"
Chancellor Livingston raised his hand
and shouted, Long live George Wash
ington, President of the United States ="
A few minutes afterward and while
the crowds still shouted in the streets
he delivered his immortal inaugural adj
dress to the assembled Congress.

following:
I am not prepared now to make a

TO the isthmus, except to say that we
have found the work progressing in a
most satisfactory way; the organiza-
ton better than ever before: the esprit
de corps excellent. and the determiina-
ton OF all. even t,e humbiest laborer.
directed TO the building of the canal. l
am sure this has impressed itself upon
every one of the board of visiting en-
glneerS as it has upon me. With ref
erence to the type of the canal and the
continuance of the present plan. the
engineers promise that they will be
able to hand me their report by the
time we land at New Orleans"
Mr.. Taft and party reached Colon
from Panama at 3:1J o'clock Sunday
afternoon. Governor Melendez and a
large gathering of the Panama Rail
road and the iSthmian canal commits
sion employees were present at the dock
to bid the President-elect farewell.
Lieutenant Colonel Cocktails, chief engi-
neer of the canal. accompanied Mr. Taft
on the North Carolina. He will pro-
coed to Washington to discuss the mat
ter of appropriations necessary for the
completion of the work. AS the tug
which transferred the visitors to the
cruiser moved away the crowds cheered
Justify. Mr.. Taft looking the picture
of health, bowed and called out laugh
ing, Keep your eye on that subterra
mean lake at Gatun.'
During his visit. which lasted ten
days, Mr. Taft accompanied on many
occasions by the special engineers who
came to the isthmus with him. visited
every section of the canal. His infiu-
ence was eXerted also in bringing about
a better feeling between various fac
lions that have been opposing each 9th
er since the last election.

Improved Breeding

The agricultural colleges and expe-
riment stations are accomplishing a
great work for agriculture and live
stock industry by encouraging better
breeding of animals and plants The
Importance of the farm to national
prosperity was recognized in the en-
dowment of agricultural universities
and the establishment of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, with the secre-
tary a member of the Presidents cab
met. The farming interests of the
country depend on these institutions
of learning to blaze the way to sci
entifc Improvement in husbandry.
Farmers have lost their prejudice
against scientific husbandry in the
achievements of the agricultural col
leges in nearly all departments of
plant and animal industry If greater
profits are realized in animal husband
ry ii is because farmers are paying
more attention to better breeding and
early maturity of live stock. Fruit
and cereals increase in Yields per
acre because better seed is used in
the production of the crop. A decade
ago there were no corn expositions
and improved seed breeding was a
subject considered by a few progress
sive farmers. To-day corn breeding,
with a view of improving its quality
and yield, has become as prominent
in husbandry as improving animal in
dustry. When $1,000 is awarded for
the best exhibit of six ears at a corn
exposition, it means that agriculture
recognizes the Importance of i'm
proved plant breeding.
Scientists announce that the prin-
cipal laws of breeding plant and an
imal life are homogeneOus-tha the
principles which will improve animals
will also increase the quality of
plants when methodically applied
There is at intervals spontaneous i'm
proved production by nature of animal
or plant life. If one inspects the pro-
ducts of nature in plants and animals
he discovers a wide variation in the
same species. One animal is Of
greater beauty of conformation than
its parents or immediate relatives,
and these more symmetrical specimens
are selected for breeding purposes.
In animal husbandry a great speci-
men is produced that becomes the an
cestor of an improved breed Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian is the primogen-
itor of the American ,trotter, and by
methodical selections and improved
breeding the trotter has reduced the
harness record to :5S1a. The Short
horn traces back to the Duke of Air
drie and the English thoroughbred to
the barley and Godolphin Arab sires.
To improve the breeding of animals
and plants the best specimens should
be reserved for seed and breeding
urposes.-Goodal's Farmer
