THANKSGIVING DAY.
Its Origin and Adoption Throughout the
Country.

Its Origin and Adoption Throughout tho
Country.
The first Thanksgiving Day held in
America is believed to have occurred in
February, 1851, at which date a vessel
laden with supplies arrived to succor
the starving colony at Charleston. Dur
ing the following years frequent days
of thanks were appointed in the New
England colonies. At first these ap-
pointments were at different seasons of
the year-sometimes twice in one year
and for special reasons. Thanksgiv-
ing Day was q national institution dur
ing the Revolution, and was annually
recommended by Congress-, but after q
general thanksgiving for peace in 1854,
there was no national appointment
till 1889, when President Washington
recommended Thanksgiving for the
adoption of the Constitution. In 1875
Washington appointed another national
Thanksgiving on account of the sup.
preston Of the instruction of that
year. In 1915 q day Of Thanksgiving
for the restoration of peace was recon-
mended by President Madison, but dur
ing the early part OF the century
Thanksgiving remained an institution
peculiar to New England, but was not
always held either on the same day or
in the same month. The Protestant
Episcopal prayer book adopted in 1859
recommended for a day of thanksgiving
the first Thursday in November, and
this day was observed by the church
generally in States where there was No
official Thanksgiving appointed.
The first official appointment of q
Thanksgiving day in the State Of New
York was made in 1917, but the Gov
ernors Of Western and Southern States
did not generally follow the custom un-
til after 1850. Prociamstions recon-
mending special thanksgiving for VIC
tory were issued by President Lincoln
in 1862 and 1863, and il 1868 and 1854 he
appointed the annual Thanksgiving day
by q national proclamation. Since that
time annual Thanksgiving proclamations
have been issued by the Presidents, the
Governors Of the several States, and
the Mayors Of the principal cities. Tho
last Thursday Of November II celebrated

was taking the life of little Jack. No
skill could prevent . catastrophe. There
was nothing to do but await the end.
This was the home to which the loving
husband and indulgent father came
after his long absence that Wednesday
evening. Jack had died early in the
afternoon, and little Dorothy was going
fast when her father let himself In with
his latchkey. No hint of the situation
had reached him. Hardly mile of the
thousands he had travelled on his home

thought of the beloved wife and little
ones. How Jack must have grown! Ana
he was going to school now. He was Z,
little man, and would have so much to
say about his teacher, and his slate, and
his reader. And Dorothy! She always
was her fathers girl, anyway, and shA

would gladly welcome him. and would
tell him all the odd things the little ones
had said and done while he was gone.
They were well. of course. Had he not
humbly asked that the Master might
care for and keep them in his absence?
Had not this prayer been sincerely Of
fered every night Of the months he had
been from home?
The house seemed strangely quiet as
he hung up his overcoat.
Hello there! Jack! Dorothy! Nam.
ma! Where are your"
The color left his face when his wan
little wife threw herself sobbing into
his arms. He learned it all in few
minutes. His Jack was gone. Dorothy
was alive, but could not long survive.
He nerved himself and tiptoed to the
trunalebed where she lay.

At least two-thirds of the tops are
cut of and the plants closely packed
in strong, deep boxes with the roots
well covered with earth which Is

being thoroughly watered the boxes
are placed in the shade for a few days,
and stored in dry cellar till spring.
They require no further attention
than an occasional watering. When
removed from the cellar in the follow
ing April or May the plants are COW

faced it. Some Of the church bells were

Live Stock Notes,

better the grade Of cattle, gen
orally the better the profit.
SOME breeds are best for early ma
turity and Others for great weight
AS rule getting a yearling fat does
not materially hasten its maturity.
MILL feed and SKINNED milk are
good materials to make growth in
gigs
ALWAYS stir the slop in the barrel
well before feeding, and never allow
it to stand too long.
IF rye is fed to hogs in nearly all
cases it should be fed in connection
with wheat bran or cornmeal.
WHEN going any considerable dis
lance CRASHED catt.e will shrink very
heavily, for the first ten days at least.
In many cases few cattle can be
kept on a farm with profit when a
large number would only result in
loss.
If cattle are to be wintered largely
on roughness 1T is very important that
they be provided with comfortable
shelter.
TIE object in feeding pigs that are
to be marketed is to push them from
the start, so as to maintain a steady
growth.
AN important item in selecting a
good brood SOW is her milk producing
powers This is necessary if she raises
good pigs.
A SOW that will bring an average Of
eight pigs in a litter twice a year is
doing more than average work and is

Protect the Sheep.

The tendencies at present are for
more sheep on the farms, and more
should be kept, especially on dairy
farms. The great drawback has been
the cur dogs, and if it we're not for
these a great many more sheep would
have been kept. The Legislature
should rive US good fair dog law,
but until we have it we must devise
some means to protect ourselves.
One good way Of protection is to
fence in small fields with chicken
wire or woven wire fences Another
is by the use of portable hurdles
which may be moved every day or
two. Still another way is by the use
of bells on the sleeps neck, using one
to every eight sheep. These will not
only scare the dogs when they get in
with the sheep, but will give alarm.
Sheen owners should have a good
rifle handy and send all dogs that are
found in the flock ''over the river. -

Money at q Dull Season.

II one has shop, hen-house, barn
or tight shed with southern expos
ure and glass, he can put in second
hand stove at cost Of 81 or 81, keep
the place warm with waste wood,
which abounds on most farms, and
start plants for the gardens of his
neighbors and of those in the sur
rounding villages. These wills in
clude cabbage, tomato, pepper, egg,
celery, and other plants If the
room is not the warmest it makes no
difference, and if the plants grow
slowly they will be harder and give
better satisfaction In transplanting.
At Gin high these seedlings will be
ready for sale and should command
Csc per dozen at least, if sold in little
boxes filed with earth. The boxes
of thrifty plants can be readily sold
from house to house or left at the
stores on commission. The grower
will be astonished bv neat little
sum from no apparent outlay. A
room 10x12 is large enough for
starter. II 1t is dark, insert some
sashes, which many be made cheaply.
Have the sashes 3x6ft and let the
middle supports for the glass run

glass let it lap, but be sure that it
does not extend over the next pane
more than in. To make these plants
the best for looks and growth, SOW
the seeds in fine, rich soil and trans
plant them an inch apart at inch

and will grow more rapidly than ever.
Before being finally placed in the

Poultry PicI<ings.


GIVE the chickens fine gravef and
let them help themselves.
IF poultry are confined. if they are
not given a good variety they eat
much that had better be let alone.
In very hot weather see that the
chickens have some chance to get
into the shade. Too hot a sun is not
good.
THE nests and roosts should always
be easy of access in order to make the
work Of keeping down the lice much
easier.
WHILE chickens thrive best In
small numbers or flocks, ducks seem
to do better when large lumber are
kept to6 ether.
ONE advantage with geese IS that
they are hardy. easily raised and re-
quire less care and expensive food than
any other class of fowls.
On large farms there is DO reason
why the chickens runs should not be
very large, as the ground can be put
to few uses that will pay better.
