THE REASON WHY"


For the past seventeen years the AGRI-
CULTURIsT has been no little amused by
the statements of agricultural writer's in
reference to the various crops that could
be proftably grown in the State, and
while we did not doubt that in many
cases the statements we're correct, for
they came from reliable and trdstW Orthy
sources, and our own experience and
observations in many cases corroborated
the fact, we marveled much that these
advocates of a diversity Of crops did not
practically demonstrate their theories.
A few week ago we asked the question
editorially, "Why Don't They do it?'' II
these crops can be so proftably and
easily produced why don't our people
produce them?
In a letter to the editor DR.. Heath, of
Geneva answers the question. He says:
In reply to the editorial question Of November
5th. why Don't They do it p? would say that
there may be two answers to it.. One is shiftless-
ness land I do not claim to be free from it my
not allow Mckinley in our legislature. If our
Legislature had the power to place tax of so
cents per bale ON hay, it would compel us to cut
our own hay. Last year for the first time had
moresth couldluse in the rear, cut and made
at a cost of IS. This year it has cost me but "a
put in the barn. and that with Florida appliances.
1t will make very little difference to me hereafter
whether the taxes prohibtive for revenue, since
I have found that can save rs cents on the
dollar by having my hay cut. Itwould be the
same with many other things, if we were forced
to do it, and if it were done you can see the i'm
mense am cunt of money that would be retained
on our places for home Improvement, which
consider of as much Importance as Maine or
European improvement"
This plan in the abstract might be
desirable, but in it's concrete form would
of course be undesirable and ruinous to
us. The Doctor only gives it, we imagine
as an illustration of what might and
could be done if we were compelled to do
it.

LET US GIVE THANKS,

God for the blessings which we have re-
ceived at His hand during the past year,
and for the absence in our respectivecom
munities and at our tireside OF the evils
and ills to which humanity is heir.
In this respect the people of our State
have much to congratulate themselves
upon, or rather they have much for which
to be grateful to the Great Arbiter
of their fates. The smiling god of health
has been our guardian angel during the
year that has past, and the demon OF
pestilence has passed us by. This of it.
self is cause for most profound gratitude.
In years past, when our prospects seemed
brightest, when our hearts were filled with
hope, and Dame Fortune apparently was
ready to empty into our expectant, out
stretched hands goOdly share of those
mundane chattels for which we had la
bored long and patiently, and which our
industry and perseverance merited, she
was frightened from our borders by
the dread epdemic-which FRUSTRATED
paralyzed our ambition and took from
our midst many who were dear to our
hearts and useful to our country. For
the absence of this dread demon from our
State and for the presence of the angel of
health, we should offer our most heartfelt
thanks to the Oliver of all things, and
earnestly crave a continuance of His
divine favor.
Never before has the future of our State
been more promising, never have our
prospects been brighter. The eyes of
those in colder ATTITUDES who are unable
by reason Of physical disability to with
stand the cold blasts of winter are turned
lOngingly to our sunny State, and all in
dications point to a heavy emigration
from those bleak regions into our bor-
ders; this will increase our products, our
prosperity and our wealth, and is a cause
for gratitude.
The products of our farms and gardens
have yielded us fair prolific ourlabOr.
The yield of our groves, while somewhat
light, is heavier than was at first sup
posed, and the prospects for disposing Of
it at remunerative figures are most fiat
tering. In fact we have much to be
thankful for as people, and our individ-
ual gratitude should be in keeping with
our collective thankfulness. We should
be unselfsh and thank God for the good
things our State, our people and our
neighbors have received, even if our indi-
vidual share of them is small, always
bearing in mind when we brood over our
chad luck" and misfortune that they
might have been worse, and Offering
thanks and expressing our gratitude
that they we're not as bad as they might
have been. H*
In the matter of giving thanks, or at
least in showing gratitude, actions speak
louder and more emphatically than
words. If you have cause for thankful
ness, and unquestionably you have. lay
not that fattering JUNCTION to your soul
that you can pay the debt by mere YER
bal demonstration; such indeed would be
but poor return for the "gOOds the
gods have given" Rather by your &C
/ lions demonstrate your gratitudea and by
your deeds to those who need helping

HAMMERED HAMILTON.
A Pretty Game with the
Canucks- Bowling and
Baseball.

The finest gam that has been played at
Oakland Park this season was witnessed
yesterday by a goodIy number of enthu-
slasts. The Jersey Citys played with
only one fielding error, and that was
practically no error as a man was retired
on the play. The fielding was clean and
quick and the nine innings were com
pleted in less than an hour and three
quarters. The visiting club was the
Hamiltons OF the international League.
Tine Jersey Citys won the game in the
first inning by clear hard hitting. The
HamiltonS put Laeouche In the box.
Reidy opened the sport with q two-bagger,
McGucker was given first on balls, Keay
hit a safe one to centre and Reidy scored.
Brady made q sacrifice ont, Van AlStine
drove a safe one and McGucker and Keay
scored. Roussey struck out. Sheehan
drove O ~two-bagger' to left and Van Al
slime scored. Sheefan reached home on
an error by the catcher. Wheeler closed
the inning by striking out. The HaIutls
tons took LnLouthe out of the box and
sent Petty in in the second inning.
The Jersey Citys made another earned
run in the eighth inning. Brady hit safe,
but was forced out at second on Van Al
stine's hit, who in turn was forced 0ut IN
Roussey's hit. The latter stole second
and went home on Sheehan's safe hit.
The Hamiltons made their line run in
the sixth inniHg, when Fulfner, Sales and
Casey made safe hits and Fulmer scored.
Roussey made g. brilliant catch in the
sixth inning when he caught any from
Petty's bat in the outfield.
