Washington's second inauguration, in Philadel phia, was less spectacular than the flrst When John Adams was inaugurated in the same city In 1797 Washington was the dominant figure. He was retiring from public life, and the people had eyes only for him. Many of them cried. Adams, notoriously vain and Jealous, was much em barrassed. And Just as Adams' Presidential ca reer began In disappointment, so' It ended. He was so enraged by his defeat in the election that he refused to attend the Inauguration of Jefferson, Jef-ferson, but left the White House and started for Massachusetts early on the morning of Inauguration In-auguration day. Jefferson was the flrst President inaugurated at Washington. Despite the picturesque tradition of his horseback ride to the Capitol, critical research re-search discloses that the author of the Declaration Declara-tion of Independence did not ride. He went afoot which was Democratic enough. The Installation of James Madison In 1809 was attended by much more ceremony than attended the Inauguration of Jefferson. The day was ushered in with salutes of cannon. Madison rode to the Capitol In a richly appointed carriage, escorted by troops of militia. The first inauguration to be held outdoors was that of Monroe. Two reasons are assigned for the change: the enormous crowd that attended, at-tended, from 6,000 to 8,000 (In contrast 250,-000 250,-000 are thought to have attended Wilson's In 1913, which was the largest crowd at an Inauguration), In-auguration), and the fact that the house and the senate could not agree over the distribution of seats In the house, where it had been customary cus-tomary to hold the ceremony. John Qulncy Adams refused to attend the Inauguration In-auguration of his successor, Andrew Jackson, the two men being on the worst possible terms. Jackson was In Washington for two weeks before be-fore his inauguration, but didn't go near Adams. Frontiersmen, Indian fighters and thousands of humble citizens crowded around the Capitol to see Jackson sworn In. Washington had never beheld be-held such a horde of visitors. After Jackson's hectic day, Van Buren restored re-stored dignity to the Inauguration and It ls recorded re-corded that champagne flowed most bounteously at the reception. Jackson and Van Buren rode together from the White House to the Capitol in 1837 In a phaeton made from the timbers of the old frigate Constitution. Thf first elaborate parade came with William Henry Harrison after the colorful and famous "Tippecanoe" campaign. He rode his white charger from the Capitol to the White House. He was preceded by captured flags; Tippecanoe clubs were everywhere; a large lo cabin was carried on a float In the parade, and a Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania admirer presented the President with a 384 pound fatted calf. Delivering the inaugural address Harrison read his Inaugural address the longest long-est on record from the eastern portico of the Capitol. Standing for an hour without hat or topcoat, he contracted a cold and died within a month after he became President When John Tyler was sworn In a month later he had to borrow money to make the trip from his home In Williamsburg, where he was playing games with his children when the news of his succession succes-sion to the Presidency came. Tyler refused to take any part in the inauguration inaugu-ration of President Polk, but left Washington on the morning of March 4, 1845. Polk had the distinction of being the first President to take the oath of office under an umbrella. Franklin Pierce, the only President ever to deliver an Inaugural address without the aid of notes, had a squad of fire engines in his parade. Buchanan's Inauguration was unimposing, except for spectacular floats and a great dinner. The most momentous and impressive inaugural parade that ever moved through the streets of Washington was when Lincoln flrst took office. Buchanan, an old man In swallow-tailed coat, hobbled along with Lincoln to the carriage. Lincoln Lin-coln was attired in a new black suit and a shining shin-ing high hat He carried a gold-headed cane. . Between double flies of cavalry the Presidential Presiden-tial carriage moved along Pennsylvania avenue while soldiers marched in front and behind. Riflemen were stationed on roofs commanding the thoroughfare and cavalry guarded every approach ap-proach to the CapltoL The Journey was made In safety. Stephen A. Douglas, Llncnltfs life-long rival, held the hat of the new President as he read the inaugural. At Lincoln's second Inaugural procession there was shown a model of the Monitor, with Its turret tur-ret revolving and its guns firing at intervals. A battalion of negro soldiers had ah honorable place in the long procession. It had been raining and the day was gloomy. As Lincoln was about to take the oath, however, the sun burst through the clouds, an omen which he said made his heart Jump. With the inauguration of Grant, the military display continued because the friends of Mrs. Surratt had threatened to attack him. His inauguration in-auguration drew the biggest crowd that had yet gathered. Many had to walk the streets of Washington Wash-ington all night because they could obtain no lodging. Grant laid aside his cigar for the ceremony cere-mony but disappointed the crowd by not wearing wear-ing his uniform. Hayes' inauguration was uneventful except for the failure to reach a final decision on who bad been elected until March 2, but at Garfield's the crowd grew to the unheard of proportions of 50,000, many of whom brought their lunch baskets with them. A yellow dog that Garfield had once befriended and fed ' followed behind him in the parade and was given a home at the White House. The Cleveland parade was memorable for the large number of Tammany braves, fancifully dressed and carrying tomahawks, who marched In It Benjamin Harrison is the President who read his Inaugural address to the glistening tops of red, white and blue umbrellas, but with the coming of Roosevelt glamour re-entered. Innumerable Innum-erable cowboys were In the parade and used their lariats freely In the crowd. There was also a corps of former Rough Riders and a group of Indian chiefs. Harvard students gave a long yell for Teddy. The ovation was one of the greatest and the parade one of the most spectacular spec-tacular In the history of this quadrennial political polit-ical carnival. The Taft and Wilson inaugurations are the most memorable ones In recent years, the one for the blizzard, the other for the atmosphere of tension, which had not been equaled since the first Installation of Lincoln. The Taft blizzard, as It Is called, descended upon Washington without warning. The previous day had been warm and foggy and fair weather was promised for March 4. -But In the morning Washington woke up to find a heavy blanket of snow and more falling with blinding force. Wilson's first inaugural was little more than an outpouring of Democrats to celebrate their first victory since Cleveland, but was marked by the presence of suffragists In the parade. His second, however, taking place In the critical days Just before the declaration of war upon Germany, Ger-many, was one of the most notable ever held. Harding's inaugural was notable for the tragic passage of the shattered and broken figure of the retiring President who came to the Capitol for the last time -on that day and went from there to his S street home without even glancing at the White House as he passed It for the last time. Cooiidge's Inauguration was more solemn and serious but also more devoid of glamour and pomp than any In recent years. The carefree carnival spirit of Harding's was missing except In the person of Vice President Dawes, who made his now-famous speech to the senate telling tell-ing them their rules were an wrong. (6 by WtaUn Nmpuw UOIm. Balanced Ration Necessary, Expert Advises. Instead of substituting, there has been considerable subtracting done In feeding poultry, and as a consequence, conse-quence, some poultry men are falling fall-ing to get the Income they should from their flocks. Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at North Carolina Caro-lina state college, says considering its great Importance, feeds and feeding feed-ing for poultry Is generally less understood un-derstood than any other phase of the Industry. This lack of information is shown especially when an attempt at-tempt is made to substitute certain feeds on hand at home for those which should be purchased or ex changed. Mr. Dearstyne declares that poul try requires a balanced ration con talnlng protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins in an available avail-able form. These should be given in the quantity and of the quality to maintain the bodily vigor of the fowls and permit them to day according ac-cording to their highest ability. It is Important to give the birds plenty of water, because the fowl's body ls 55 per cent water and the egg is over 65 per cent water. , Animal proteins as supplied by fish meal, meat meal or milk prod ucts are also necessary. It is not enough to rely on the vegetable proteins supplied in certain of the grain feeds. The fats supplied by grain feed are usually enough for poultry, but minerals should be supplied by bone meal, oyster shell, limestone, rock phosphate and salt Mineral deficiencies defi-ciencies In the ration are common. More Encouragement for Profit in Poultry Game According to figures Issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, Agri-culture, the number of hens and pullets In farm flocks is from 4 to 5 per cent greater than one year ago. It is thought that egg produc tion may not be larger for some time to come. The reason given for this estimate is the higher percentage percent-age of late hatched pullets, and also because It ls doubtful whether this winter will be as mild as that of a year ago. Aside from this, the storage situ ation Is more favorable. Holdings of case eggs on September 1 were 34 per cent below those on the cor responding date last year, and 37 per cent below the average of the last five years. With this reduction reduc-tion In storage supplies, even if current cur-rent production should prove larger than last year, there would still be a considerably smaller supply of eggs available for consumption during dur-ing the next few months. Egg shipments from the Pacific coast has been light for some time, and may decrease still further, because be-cause of a 13 per cent estimated decrease of chicks raised last spring and summer. The low price of feed will also be an important factor fac-tor In bringing profitable returns from all flocks which are well bred and well fed. Wallace's Farmer. Clean Feed Is Important Clean feed is an Important part of the whole scheme of poultry raising. rais-ing. It ls not sufficient to mix or to buy clean feed. The entire ration ra-tion must be kept clean until eaten by the chickens. It Is well to have an absolute rule that no feed of any kind is to be thrown In the litter, lit-ter, on the floor, or on the ground where it can be eaten by the chicks. Of course, If a small number of chicks Is being raised and ample range ls available so that the grain can be thrown on a new spot each time the chickens are fed, there can be no serious objection to this practice. prac-tice. Rarely are conditions so favorable; fa-vorable; so, the best practice Is to feed all grain as well as mash In hoppers. Feed Hens Freely If your poultry flock ls not producing pro-ducing as efficiently as you know It should be, check up on the available feeding and watering space. See that there Is plenty of room for all the birds to eat freely and see further that they are given a good balanced ration which will stimulate stimu-late and maintain egg production. Poorly-fed birds will not be good producers. Hens will pay a better price for feed than any other kind of animal produced on the farm. Prairie Farmer. Culling Is Essential The art of culling has made it possible to select the highest-producing hens In the flock. These should be mated with males from bens of high egg records when possible. pos-sible. It Is not practical for farmers farm-ers or most commercial pouitrymen to trapnest or pedigree their poultry, poul-try, but they can purchase pedigreed pedi-greed cockerels from bred to-lay stock, and when these are mated with carefully culled hens, improvement improve-ment will follow, and this is the desired de-sired end. CASUAL visitors to the Capital city of the nation seldom receive re-ceive suggestions from natives of Washington that they should visit the Department of Agriculture. The native here will freely point out places to see and the things of interest in-terest that a tourist "should not miss," but the suggestions almost never Include the Department of Agriculture. It is more easily understood than it appears. Except for the gardens and a greenhouse or two over which the department has supervision, there ls little appeal for the tourist tour-ist in that part of the department located In Washington, large as that section really Is. The answer, simply stated, to the circumstance is that the Department Depart-ment of Agriculture , operates the greatest laboratories In the world, but they are scattered throughout the nation that they can be near to the problems they seek to solve. The experimental farms serve to Illustrate Il-lustrate the point That farm In your state is located where It Is for a very practical reason, the same being that it ls attempting to develop some kind of agricultural product of especial fitness for the conditions of soil and climate under un-der which you live. But I would not have you under-derstand under-derstand that the department has only this method of serving the farmers. Although their work lacks the appeal that is required to attract at-tract sightseers, the vast offices of the department in Washington are thoroughly filled with men and women and equipment as each one of them proceeds to work out some new factor In connection with plant and animal life. People are too prone to think of the department only In connection with wheat and cotton and corn and cattle and hogs, etc. As a matter of fact, Its other work ls more basic. Let me relate the circumstance of one office as an illustration. Presiding Pre-siding over it is a small man, a German Ger-man by birth, but an immigrant to America at an early age. He ls highly educated, uses many terms In conversation that go far over my humble head, and plods along with bis studies. And what does he studyT Peat, peat bogs, uses of peat how to use peat lands. He ls recognized throughout the world as an authority on peat, and slowly but surely out of the vast researches that he has made and la making is coming Information that will result in utilization of millions of acres of land that Is looked upon now by those residing near as not worth the taxes its owners have to pay. The individual about whom I have written above Is Just one cog in a great machine, known in the depart ment as the bureau of chemistry and soils, an agency of earnest men and women seeking facts. Set entlsts they are, and scientists they will remain, and while superficially their work may be made the sub Ject of laughter and by-play, agri cultural life of America owes much to them. , For instance out of the constant Investigating that goes on by that group, we already know that cer tain kinds of wheat will produce In greater volume In Kansas than formerly for-merly could be grown In that bread basket of the nation; we know that their soil studies have evolved ways of fertilizing that will break up "hardpan and subsoils which the farmer despises, and we have learned from them that crops requiring re-quiring soils free from acids can be grown in sections hitherto held to be areas where such crops were unprofitable. un-profitable. In other words, the work the scientists sci-entists do is of the sort that the farmer may not see its value until he suddenly discovers through his farm paper that the experiments have shown It feasible to plant a certain type of seed or do some other thing that opens a new avenue ave-nue of profit to him. The chemical examinations, the soil Investigations, Investiga-tions, and the studies of fertilizers, to mention a few, all lead directly to benefits for those who till the soil and with their produce feed the nation. It is only a step in one's survev of the department activities from the bureau of chemistry and soils to another section the bureau of entomology where the Investiga tions are directed towards means of saving the crops which the other scientists have found can be produced pro-duced to better advantage. The scientists In the bureau of entomology ento-mology can tell you about the life history of the potato bur or anv other that has been discovered as a parasite on American plant life. And what is more important to the ag ricultural producers, those scientists can tell you how to defeat the rav ages of the Insects that are known to be Injurious to the crops. Naturally, too, since they study Insects, the same scientists provide the nation's bee-keepers with information in-formation about the honey bees, and how to protect them from the dan gers that threaten them. 6 lilt.
