of idleness and sin to one of usefulness.

1t is the experience of old sheep
men that sheep kept in good condition
through the fall, are not only enabled,
to stand the winter much better, but
yield a much larger percentage of wool
the following spring. If the pasturage
has been good, they will by fall, be in
good condition generally, and the owner
who keeps them so until the coming Of
winter, will profit at the business.
When frost come and blight the grass,
its nutrimnet ,iss so diminished that sheep
will loose flesh, unless little something
extra is given them, A little grain,

or any other green food at command
anything to keep them in a thrifty,
growing state-should be given them
twice day at the close of the vegeta-
bic season. Especially does this advice
apply to breeding ewes. If permitted
to run down during the fall, its effects
will be sure to show itself at lambing
time in stunted progeny, even if the
ewes succeed in weathering it through
themselves. Poor sheep are bad stock
at any time, but especially now, when
none but good sheep will pay. Common
sense therefore would prompt every
man to Gull his flock, pick ont the poor

is astonishing how fast they will fatten

with good hay and plenty of water

too well known to suffering women them
selves, that they are subject to numerous
diseases peculiar to their sex, such as sus-

MenstruatiOn, liberation and Falling of the

sympathetic and constitutional disorders,
which embitters the whole life, and which
have long been considered incurable. But

1t is not "cure-all" but remedy for one

Any sufferer from the diseases mentioned
can take this remedy and thus relieve her

ratified every time the bird is fed-and may
be carried on the gIoved hand like a falcon.
A small leather strap being buckled round
the lower part of the neck before the bird
enters the water, it is unable to do more than
pouch any fish that it may catch, and has to
come ashore to be relieved of its burden by
its master, who rewards it every time for it's
obedience. After a little practice the line is
dispensed with and the bird soon becomes
very docile, seeming fully to understand all
that is required of it. The Chinese method
of fishing with cormorants differs but little
from that employed by English and French
amateurs at the present day. In China,
however, the birds, smaller than ours, and of
a different species (I'haIacr0corar &ncnsjs),
called by the Chinese "Leutze," are carried
on light shallow punts or RATS, and are
commonly employed, not as here for amuse-
ment, but as a matter of business to supply
the markets with fish. Twenty thirty

THANK SEWING,

There can be no more fitting custom than
that of setting apart one day in the year for
special recognition of the fact that we
people and as individuals have something to
be thankful for. And it is matter for con-
graduation that Thanksgiving Day, once con-
fined to New England, is now a national in
stitution and that its pleasures and benefits
are generally enjoyed.
1t may not be Improbable at this time to
bestow passing thought upon the first
Thanksgiving Day observed in this country.
The crop of 1921 had been insufficient for the
Pilgrims at Plymouth. Their stores were
nearly all gone that they had been COM
PEELED to beg food from fishing vessels off the
coast. They were in the very jaws of fam
inc when the time came to reap the harvest
of 1922. 1t turned out to be good one.
The crops were all satisfactory and when
they had been garnered it was clear that
there would be no danger of famine before
the next years. harvest time at least. When
the bountiful crops had been secured Gov
ernor Bradford sent a company of hunters
into the woods for game to furnish the tables
for feast. The hunters had good luck and
returned with full burdens of rabbits SOUR
rels, wild turkeys bear meat and venison
and the good housewives prepared the dinner
with special care, not forgetting, if tradition
may be trusted, the luscious pumpkin pie.
Massasoit and ninety OF his Indians were in
vited to share the feast and all joined togeth-
sr in thanking God for the good harvest
which saved the young colony and for the
peace which He allowed them to have.
The Massachusetts, colonists had abundant
reason for thanksgiving, and their gratitude
to the giver of all good things was heartfelt
Their descendants and all the people of this
broad land have been so prosperous this year
that they may not feel their dependence upon
God as keenly as did the colonists who were
saved from famine, but the blessings which |
demand their gratitude are many and great. |

the American people have cause for profound |

polled about half the Mormon vote. Whether
from choice or because compelled by the

polls in carriages, milk wagons, farm carts
