TOMS" and Tucker, of Virginia, intimated
that it might be as well to wait for some
experience of the efficiency of the Constr
tuition before returning thanks for it. In
spite of these objections the motion was
carried and President Washington issued
n proclamation appointing as Thanksgiv-
ing Day Nov. &c.
Thanksgiving Day proclamations were
issued in an irregular way for many
years after that date, but the day was moi
a fixed holiday. After the battle OF Get

mended the people to set apart the or

Soft Corn for Cove.

A great deal Of soft corn Is given to
hogs which might much more probably
be given to cows that are giving milk.
There is considerable nutrition In the
succulent cob Of soft corn, and this Is
lost when the pig gets it. Hogs get too
much corn on most farms. They Will
fatten better on more varied ration.
Cows rechew all their food, and Will
waste very little If they are fed soft
corn. 1t is an excellent food to make
rich milk, though Of course care must
no taken not to feed enough to fatten
the cow. This rarely happens when the
cow Is a. good mixer.

Best Bee Food.

The very best bee food for winter Is
nure white honey. That seems to con-
tain the least indigestible matter, says
the Massachusetts Ploughman. Next
TO this comes pure honey of darker

do not skimp them to avoid feeding),
use pure graduated sugar syrup. Thls
is best at any time, but so much OF sue

food that one should be especially par

ed apiarist should be sought Derore

While the hardy perpetual roses u.s.

they do not always do so, especially
when the wood is not ripened. 1t Is
good plan, says the Philadelphia Press,
to prune the new wood rather severe
" at this time of the year, and TO
shelter the bushes by sticking evergreen
boughs into the ground around them,
so as to shelter them from the wind ana

with earth, which is not easily done
when the bushes are stiff. The same

Hints on stock Feeding.

Bean vines are rich in heterogeneous
substances, says the Massachusetts
Ploughman. They are especially val
uable for sheep. There is no better
way to economize food than to make
the quarters of the farm animals COM
Portable. Don't get discouraged, and
quit raising stock or grain because they
sometimes get low. Profits come to
those who stick. 1t requires just as
much care and more feed to make the
same weight with comb stock that 1t
does with pure-breds, and the price is
never as high for the first as for the
last.

The Graded School.

EDITOR INTELLIaENcER: If you have
space please allow me word about ex-
an1inations for places In the Graded School.
The examinations that am now hold
ing on Saturdays at Miss Hubdard's school
building are held in accordance with q
regulation of the Board of Trustees, which
makes 1t my duty to locate every pupil
who applies for admission to the school,
and which provides that shall hold an
examination for this purpose before the
opening of the session. The object of this
regulation is to avoid delay in beginning
regular work.
I have never lost more than one day in
getting regularly to work. This is impos.
sible unless examination and location is
previously done. 1t Is especially impor-
tsnt this year that all work preliminary to
the regular work Of teaching should be
doIe before the school opens, because the
session will necessarily be short at best.
Besides, If this examination is held
some time before school opens. pupils who
are only slightly behind certain grade
will have time to make up the deficiency.
SO far very few pupils have come to be
examined. Not half as many as are ex-
pected. suppose this is either because
patrons did not know Of the examination
or did not understand It's Significance. No
pupil will be admitted to the school unless
l have examined him.
I hope I shall not be Obliged to lose q
week for this work after school opens.
There Ia no advantage in delay. United
effort Is necessary to the success Of the
school. So that trust patrons will send
pupils to be examined promptly. Ol
course, they cannot tell exactly what grade
to send them to be examined for, but they
can approximate it, Next Saturday, al
8 O'Clock, I wish applicants for 9Th grade.
If there are others for 7th, 6th and 9Th
they may come also.
Respectfully,

connection we may say the riding of the

The performing seals and dogs attracted
much attention. A very unusual feature
