The GRADING of the Flock.

The grading of the flock is even
more necessary. in winter in northern
areas thsa in those farther south. BY
grading is meant separating the shear
lings from the ewes that are older, and
also separating any ewes from the
others that require special care. This
is necessary because OF the different
kinds of food that are best suited to
the needs Of each class Of sheep. After
the ewes have produced lambs, they,
of course, call for different kild of
food from that given to the other 9ivi-
sions Of the flock.-Prof. Thomas
Shaw.

Don't Like New Capitol.

The Wisconsin legislature resumed
when the first grist of miscel-
laneous small bills came in, most
of them authorizing the construction
of bridges and the payment of small
claims. The disgust of the majority of
the members with the condition of the
new building quarters, IN their pres
ent unfinished condition, was plainly
noticeable, and there is no question
that something will be done to the
plans for the remaining wings to be
constr acted.

in winter; in summer, from the sides
of the building as well as from the

be refilled with fresh material often. it

May Spring Corrupt Charges.

An interesting bit of gossip float
ing about the senate chamber was to
the effect that specific charges relat-
ing to corrupt use of money in the
senatorial campaign are being drawn
up and will be presented in day or
two. Senator Husting says he knows
of no such move by the Democrats.
Under grand jury proceedings names
and dates are not always specified at
first and the senate might take some
like course. Senator Husting pointed
out that there was an investigation
over 80 years ago.

Prodigious Cheering For Grant.
With the induction into Office of
Ulysses S. Grant the inaugural cere
mony as it is known in our day prop
erly came into vogue. The change
from the old way did not consist in
the forms Of the ceremony itself,
which remained substantially as be-
fore. but in the number of marching
organizations, the military display, the
great crowds, the enthusiasm and the
payment of fabulous sums for posi-
tons OF vantage along Pennsylvania

When ''Old Hickory" went in the boys

old and despite the fact that the

BY JAMES A. EDGERTON.

TT is not every man that gets a
chance to be inaugurated presf-
dent of the United States or even
to see the thing pulled off by
somebody else, so it is not surprising
that when one does receive call to
go through this greatest of limitations
he and his friends and the onlookers
want run for their money and try to
make the occasion worth while. The
Taft Inauguration will be all that and
more. In fact, it will Guido anything
in it's line, making the induction of all
past presidents seem like those NEAR"
performances that fail of reaching the
mark. There will be more troops, more
ceremony and more solemnity than
ever before. The only features that
will be cut short are music and ora
tory. The brass band industry will be
discouraged, and Taft will make his
speech brief. The country will not
lack for those cynics who will hail
both shortcomings as Improvements.
No Inauguration would be complete
without the quadrennial squabble be-
tween the supreme court, and the dip
lomatic corps as to which shall take
precedence. Now that this has put in
appearance everything is as it should
be, and the ball can go merrily on.

chrysanthemums selected to escort the

ing world that this Inauguration is
going to be pulled off right. !
Start of Inauguration Habit.
The Inauguration habit has now got
to be an old thing with us and has
never lacked for those willing to play
the star role. 1t started with General
G.. Washington 120 years ago, who
was supposed to get on the job on the
4th of March, but showed his proven
bal wisdom by deferring it until he
could have decent weather on April 80.
Washington was sworn in the first
time in New York in the region that Is
now Wall street. 1t is startling how
respectable localities may degenerate.
Wall street has made some presidents
since then, If political wisacres are to
be credited, but has never seen any Of
these actually take the oath of office.
The second time the Father of His
Country passed through the inaugural
ordeal was in Philadelphia, which also
saw that of John Adams. Adams aft
erward complained that he only played
second fiddle at his own dance, as the
people made Washington the hero Of
the occasion. Any one can understand
the reason who has ever taken Adams
true size. -Four years later, when JET
ferson came into power, Adams dis
courteously ran away, which made
him seem smaller than ever.
The man that got up the story about
Thomas Jefferson riding to the capitol
and hitching his horse to the palings
belonged to the shorter and uglier fam
lily. Nature takers are not the only
sort. There are also history takers. 1t
was an Englishman who wrote the
! horse episode Of Jeferson's Inaugural
ton, and he said he saw it with his
own eyes, although it was afterward
proved that he was nowhere near
| Washington at the time. Jefferson
| really marched to the capitol on foot
with number of his friends. Bis sec
| ond Inauguration was without special
incident, as were those of Madison.
