Feeding cattle and hogs in together

Feeding cattle and hogs in together
said to be injurious to the cattle
-On Thursday, Thanksgiving Day,
the people, after the good old custom,
handed down from the founders Of the
Nation: are again called upon to give
thanks. National holidays are none
too numerous in this free America,
where constant, shaving application to
business is the rule; and this day with
all its kindly associations, it's pleasant
memories; with. the sancity Of its re-
ligious service, the recognition of the
special superintendent Of Providence,
and Of our duty and thankfulness to
Him for all National blessings as we'll
as for the bounteous gifts Of faithful
earth, should find above all others
warm place in every heart.
The Industrial Age gives an ac-
count of horse called" Old Tom" which
in 1910 was owned by Gen. Gruges of
West Point and was famous as one Of
the finest parade horses in the State.
He was a model Of beauty, large and
powerful, long silvery name and tail.
He was next owned by Martin Van Bu-
rem. In 1916 he was presented to a
distinguished young officer in Gen.
SCOTS command, and served his time
out in. Mexico, and after the war Gen.
Scott had the horse returned to New
York and rode him frequently on pa
rades. In 1851 he became the proper
ty Of the American Express Company
and was used by them at New York
and Poughkeepsie until 1866 when he
was sold to Professor Eastman, Mayor
Of Poughkeepsie.
For eight years Old Tom" has been
one of the attractions at Eastman's
place. He has been in the harness
nearly every day, and to all appearances
is yet in his teens. His special work is
drawing the lawn mower, and so we'll
educated is he to the duty that he has
frequently, for the qualification of look
ers-on, been left to perform the work
without driver Or guide.
-Plowing is made profession or
trade in England and the plowman
must learn his trade by thorough
practice and by proper term Of appren-
ticeship. To succeed plowman must
be first class, if not q master of his trade.
So highly is good plowing valued, the
plowman soon finds his occupation gone
and must seek some other calling. At
Agricultural Fairs numerous and valua-
bic prizes are offered, and the contest
for the premiums creates more excite
ment and interest than racing does in
our Western fairs. In speaking Of two
visitors st . recent ploving match an
