HALF MILLION SEE
IMMENSE PARADE
GREATEST CROWD EVER GATH
Erred IN WASHINGTON.
Tall, Slender Man, Wreathed
In Smiles, Center of Atten-
ton of Multitudes.

A half million lusty y-lunged Amer

American fashion, new ruler at
Washington. A tall, slender man,
wreathed in smiles. standing in his
carriage towing and waving to a
mile of sdensely packed humanity was
the object of the ovation. This was
Woodrow Wilson-President Wilson.
Vice President Thomas r. Marshall
had his share Of the applause too,
Following the exact path of twenty
seven former presidents, President
Wilson was the central figure Of the
pomp and pageantry OF the greatest
inaugural parade ever assemtled on
historic Pennsylvania avenue. Itwas
an observance of the pfeoedents Of
generations.
From the steps of the inaugural re-
viewing stand at the capitol, with
the kiss of the Bible in the hands Of
Chief Justice White still warm upon
bis lips, President Wilson was the OBJ
ject of tumultuous and vooiferous ap-
plause as he led the pageant of $4,000
soldiers, sailors and civilians to the
White House and there reviewed
them.
The parade was declared the most
pretentious Of any in history in length,
numbers, and in novel features it was
unique. For nearly three hours it
wended it's way through Pennsylva vania
avenue. 1t was nearly dusk before
the last marchers passed the new pres.
ident through the "Court Of Honor. !"
Crowds along Pennsylvania avenue
packed every bit Of room and filed
every seat in capacious grand stands.
The broad avenue, swept clean and
carefully roped off was bordered by two
walls of cheering multitudes that filed
every inch of space and every avail
able balcony and window. Fakers
did thriving business in selling big
packing boxes to crowds afoot. These
were pushed near the curb and afford
ed the owner private grandstand Of
bis own.
The greatest crowd that ever greet
ed an incoming president and vice
president shouted itself hoarse. Three
hundred thousand Washingtonians and
visitors estimated at 200, 900, viewed
the spectacle.
Represented in the ranks of the
marohers were the army, navy, West
Point and Annapolis cadets. governors
and their stats, 100 banda, veterans
of many wars, political clubs. Tam
many Graves, COW boys. college mel
and suffragettes. 1t was replete with
startling. novel and unique features,
from Virginia foxhounds, Indian
braves and college glee clubs to crowds
of temperance "white ribboners. Z"
Specially predominant was the col
lege atmosphere-ed education tribute
to great educator. Thousands of
college men, alumni Of practically
every great university and college OF
the country, were in line.

they do get it. The drier the stalks
the more liable the cattle are to be
stricken.
There is no treatment for it yet de-
veloped. The veterinarians cannot
make up their minds as to the causes
Of the affection.
1t makes little difference about the
cause so long as no two men are able
to agree upon it. The point the cattle
owner must keep in mind is how to
prevent it. The following plan has
been found valuable as a preventive:
Turn the cattle into the stalk field
gradually. The first stay ought not be
longer than half an hour, and this may
be gradually increased if no trouble is
encountered.
If the cattle are well fed and wa
tered before being turned in there is
less opportunity for trouble. as so
much of the dry food will not be eaten
Giving them water Immediately after
they have stuffed themselves with dry
blades and husks may bring on an at
tack.
BY feeding some laxative forage like
alfalfa or millet as q part of the ration
while on the stalks the cattle are less
likely to develop any of the symptoms.
So far as | know there is no medical
treatment. but laxative is helpful in
the earliest stages of the trouble 1t is
well to bear in mind that Il great many
cases develop late in the fall or
early in the winter during the first
cold, stormy rains. BY getting the
cattle out Of the fields in such weather
and putting theni under shelter the
danger of an attack will be minimized.
It is easy to pick out the sufferers in
a herd. They are found bumped up
and at some distance from the main
body Of the cattle. The switching of
the tail, the restlessness and the aim
less kicking are evidences of serious
abdominal pains. -
The drier and older the stalks the
more dangerous they seem to he. Corn
stalk disease is rarely heard of early
in the fall. but is more common after
the last cornfield has been gathered
and the stock turned in.

tie and providing clean. dry. warm.
well ventilated shelter for their grow
ing porkers in winter.
Another point for consideration. it Is
the belief of some that sows are in
very much danger of getting too fat
before narrowing. They are thought to
be too fat when they are hardly in
good living condition. A sow may be
too fat to do well. but my experience
is that If a good supply Of surplus
flesh is laid up before narrowing to be
drawn upon while the SOW is sucking
the pigs it is better for both the SOW
and the pigs | have two sows now
with pigs. One of them was in good
pork order when the pigs were far
rowed; the other. while by no means
low in flesh, was not so fat. The one
that was in the better condition when
she narrowed is still in very much the
better condition, and her pigs are grow
ing faster than the others under the
same treatment There is wider diff
ference between the condition of the
two sows now than there was when
they first narrowed. No. am pretty
sure that there is no loss in feeding
the sows enough to allow them to lay
up surplus of flesh to be drawn upon
when the pigs need it. ~sss-e>

SOLD HIS SECRET.
Vile of the Congressman Who Used to
Wear a Bald Head.


One public official in Washington is

mention his name. He is not of the
age when he should be wearing a wig.
He returned to session of congress
with nicely waving locks instead of
being sparse atop. 1t was so cleverly
wanted to know at once what remedy
he had been using, and it looked so
like case of some hair restorative
Or hair conservative-that the cloak
room was agog over the wonderful sue
cess he had achieved.
Now, the same congreSsman's bald
head had been the butt of unfortunate
jokes for several sessions, and he
thought it was time for revenge, so
gathering together his now admiring
colleagues he told them in a confiden-
tial way that he had at last found
real remedy. He said 1t was private
prescription and he would do them a
favor and get some for them. Bottles
were brought, plain and fancy. Some
even brought milk bottles to get suf-
ficient quantity. Many paid S. and SO
a bottle for the new restorer. Then
the officials began vigorous work upon
their scalps.
1t was not until some weeks after
that the secret leaked out-they had
been rubbing salt and water on their
heads, While the joker had received
more than enough to pay for his hand
some wig, which is now the admiration
Of many social functions and which he
wears with equanimity and dignity.
He says that no longer is the head I'M
easy that wears a wig, and whenever
wig is mentioned among that coterie Of

that pure wig protection is needed for

WINTERINC FALL
FARR0WED PIGS

Whether we make them profitable
or not. lot of fall pigs to raise are
with us each year. writes a correspond
ent of the National Stockman. Some
men are successful with these pigs that
must be carried over the winter, while
many are not. While breeding and
feeding have Il great deal to do with
their profita bleness I sincerely believe
that the greatest difference may be
found in the matter of shelter. 1t is
quite a common custom to allow these
pigs to follow the cattle. and this is
well. But no one needs to tell me
when | see pigs piled up in manure
heap to keep warm. and when | see
the steam rise as those pigs leave their
damp. filthy nest. that they can be
doing their best.
Nature didn't give the pig great
deal of protection from the cold in the
way of coat of hair. A coat of fat.
If he has it. is about all the protection
he enjoys. Now, when a pig or any
other animal must draw largely upon
its food supply for warmth it stands
to reason that the best gains cannot
be expected. Another thing. why isn't
little firewood cheaper fuel to warm
feed than the feed itself? The pig
must use feed to warm itself when
that feed is given practically ice cold.
These things sound reasonable, and.
more important, we find the hog feed
ers who know they make profit on
fall pigs giving the slop warmed lit
