Real joyful Holiday.

New York. May 1S.-President Will
son today led in person the great Red

A human Red Cross made up of
hundreds of .narchers clad in red held
the post of honor in the spectacular
parade of $4,000 Red Cross workers
down Fifth avenue this afternoon
President Wilson, who is to formal
ly open the national campaign for war
fund of $780, 100000 with an address
here tonight, was the principal re-
viewing officer, as well as marcher.
Another picturesque feature of the
procession was a body of more than
1000 nurses CARRIED in every variety
of costume worn by nurses all over
the world. Some of the nurses have
seen service at the battle front and
others are to sail over seas within a
few weeks.
Women Knitted on March.
Other noteworthy units included
groups of women workers who knitted
and sang as they marched; contin-
gents of mothers, sisters and daugh-
tiers of men in service, all carrying
service flags, various military and ma
val attachments and numerous floats
depicting Red Cross activities.
While a great crowd that blocked
Thirty fourth street waited to greet

He then led the secret service men

. AFTER looking up some references
for his speech tonight, he walked
back down the avenue, recognized and
cheered at intervals.
Mrs. Wilson spent the morning on
shopping tour.
The president had a regular, old
fashioned good time last night and
admitted it. At theater, in response
to a demonstration from the crowd,
the president said:
You are laboring under a delusion-
You think you see the president of
the United States. What you really
see is a tired man having a good
time"
1t was the first time the president
had ever spoken thus from a theater
box in New York. The crowd cheered
wildly. On everyhand comment was
heard that the president was standing

heavier than at any time in his life

BEWARE OF GARGET In EWES
inflammation of Udder Is Common
Trouble at Landing Time and
Needs Immediate Attention.

Garget, or inflammation of the ewes
udder, is common trouble at Landing
time, and it should be given immediate
attention. The udders of heavy milking
ewes are likely to become inf1amed and
as a result the ewes may have milk fe-
yer. Overlooking of grain, colds, chills
and lying on wet floors are some of the
causes of this condition. When discov-
cred, the ewes udder should be bathed
with hot water by means of wooden
cloths. After the udder has been dried,
it can be rubbed with turpentine and
lard, or with one-half ounce of lead
acetate dissolved in one quart of wa
ter. The udder should be kept wet with
acetate for half day. It should be
MIXED out thoroughly each time the
application is made. 1t is also advis-
able to give the eve a good dose Of
Epson salts as soon as the trouble is
noticed.

FAR "a
ANIMAL s
SEPARATE BOAR FROM soWs
Practice of Permitting Him to Run
With Herd Is Frowned Upon by
Many Swine Breeders.

The practice of letting the boar run
with the sows is generally froWned
upon by swine breeders. There are
many reasons why the herd does bet
ter if the boar is kept separate. He
worries the rest of the hogs as well as
himself when he is with the herd. The
waste and possible injury to the boar
by too much breeding, if more than
one sow comes in heat at the same
time, is. useless and can be avoided
by keeping the boar alone and turning
the SOW in to him. This assists in
keeping records. The owner knows
when the SOW was bred. Also know
ing when she is due to farrow, he can
be prepared for this event, which may
be the cause of saving one or more
pigs. Small filters as well as weak
pigs are as often the direct results OF
letting the boar run with the sOws as
they are due to a poor brood SOW.
And to use a boar whose breeding
powers have been impaired by unWise
herd management is a financial loss
to the owner.

are large, roomy closets in each room
and special feature of the front room
is the dressing room with triple mir
ror. All of the closet doors have bevel
plate mirror panels.
The kitchen is fitted with built-in
cooler, bins, wood lift, ironing board
and sundry cupboards. There are no
cut-up moulds or useless trim to catch
dust and make burden for the house
wife to carry.
The exterior finish is spruce siding,
rough side out, stained brown. The
interior is Douglas fir, stained golden
oak to preserve the figure Of the wood.
The dimensions, exclusive of the porch
es, are "a feet by 43 feet.
This is thoroughly modern design,
which is equally good for the farm, vii
lage, or suburban town. It is the
story-and-a-half bungalow type that
makes full use of the space up under
the roof. Some very graceful ideas
are worked into this dwelling, both for
outside ornamental effects and DISPOSE
ton of the space inside. 1t is design
that can be studied with profit by any
prospective home builder.

William Wilkle Collins.

Wilkie Collins, the English novelist,
visited the United States in 1874, and
gave public readings of two Of his short
stories. His fame as a novelist cul-
minated with the publication of "The
Woman in White" in 1860, and great
crowds went to see and hear him read.
The two stories he read in this country
were ''The Frozen Deep and "The
Dream Woman" which had not yet
been published. His full name was
William Willzie Collins. He never
made public or literary use of the Will
liam, although it was his fathers name.
The father was a celebrated painter
of Royal academy fame, and, as Lon
don critic said, .sthe son describes a
picture as happily as the father paint
ed it, not meaning that the son de-
scribed painted pictures, but referring
to his graphic style. He wrote a BIZ
ography of his father.

cost a little, but not much as compared
with the benefits to be derived.
Strangely enough, the farm homes
have not kept pace with city homes
with respect to these conveniences, and
this in spite Of the fact that the av-
erage farmer can buy and sell the
city dweller several times over. Farm
ers have been just little slow in
taking up with these improvements,
probably because Of imagined difficult
ties connected with their installation !;
or because they imagined the expense
would be far more than it really is.
There has been a great deal of talk
about farm labor-and the shortage
of it. The farmers have been urged
by everybody who can write an article
for the papers, to produce as great a
crop as possible. But there has been
little said about the farmers wife
and what all of this increased produc-
ton means to her.
When the farmer himself is hard
pressed, as at harvest time, he can
generally secure additional help to
take care of the crops. He may have
to pay little more than in normal
times, but he secures the additional

the farmers wife is not in such for

Every increase in acreage upon the

SHEEP RELISH SWEET CLOVER
Care Must Be Taken to See That Pas.
lures Are Not Overstocked-
Yellow Variety Best.

Sheep relish sweet clover and make
rapid gains when pastured on it. Care
must be taken to see that pastures are
not overstocked with sheep as they are
likely to eat the plants so ose to the
ground as to kill them. This is es-
pecially true the first year before the
plants have formed crown buds.
Yellow biennial sweet clover prob
ably will not suffer from this cause as
much as the white species, because the
plants make more spreading growth
and are not likely to be eaten SO close
