Thanksgiving at the ChurcA.

Thursday last, was duly observed, as
a day Of prayer, and Thanksgiving by q
o union service OF all the churches in
the large and beautiful temple OF the
Pr~esbyterians In this CITY, 1t was q
typical Piedmont November day, love-
ly, and the house though not full, was
2 good audience, largely made up of
tor OF the church, conducted the SER
vices, and preached the sermon, as
sisted by Reys. Messrs. Clark and Car
Isle OF the Methodist church. Rev. Mr..
Pitts OF the Baptist church was absent,
attending the Baptist convention In
session at Greenville. Mr.. Carlisle
read the Presidents Proclamation set
ting apart the day for thanksgiving
and religious observance by the sixty
five millions Of people forming
great community. Mr.. Adams read the
Psalm, 145, and took for his text, verse
III, Psalm So: Thou crOwnest the year
with thy goodness; and thy paths drop
fairness.
1t was a simple, beautiful and elo-
quent discourse. In his exordium he
related the saying OF o great divine,
that he was often called to pray for the
sick, but rarely to return thanks for
the recovered; the story Of the ten lep-
ers who we're cleansed, and the one
tnat turned back to return thank He
contrasted the surroundings Of these
sixty five millions to whom the Procla-
nation is addressed, with European
peoples; the blessings of the peace we
enjoy; the quasi state of war of the
greatly armed nations abroad and the
burdens e~ntailed upon the people; the
complicated entanglements and rela-
lions OF these; U civil and religious
liberties; the blessings showered upon
the nation and particularly our South
land, the closing days of the year going
out In peace and reviving prosperity.
This beautiful and eloquent presenta-
tion OF the blessings for which we should
be thankful to God was closed with the
climax OF the precious gift OF his son
as u saviour and redeemer.

HERE AND THERE,

Cattle feeders stand squarely in
their own moonshine when they feed
in open pens badly drained. apd some
times knee deep with mud, with no
shelter to protect the cattle from the
driving rains and wintry blasts.
The trouble with the methods of
the common run Of farmers as to pork
making is they don't make enough out
of their pigs during the first four
months of their existence Good steady
growth from the day of the pigs ap-
pearance is the basis OF economical
pork production.
There may be a better food for
young pigs than skim milk and wheat
middIings-three pounds of the former
to one of the latter-but it will he
hard TO find. 1t is just as good for
breeding sows as for pigs. But in adj
dition to this mixture the sows need
plenty of green pasturing.
With many farmers the most Sc.
rious problem of life is to get out OF
debt. The 'only way to solve it is
either to keep down the expenses or
to increase the income, or, if possible,
both. The danger is that in endeavor.

Battle Of the Sleeves.

The battle of the sleeves is on, and
the issue is doubtful. The old saying,
"Possession is nine points of the law"
applies less to any question of fashion
than elsewhere, since constant re-
lection and change rule in that realm.
Dressmakers declare that their patrons
are tired of the balloon variety Of
sleeves and are trying hard to intro
duce modified style, but the trouble
is the big sleeve is too universally be-
coming to be easily given up. The
fictitious breadth of shoulder gives an
exaggerated slenderness to the waist

admires and Observation-Disclosures

Corn, Cattle and Profit.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press saws:
THE effect of the wheat and corn crop
upon railroad traffic is exerted in ways
widely differing. The wheat crop is
moved as grain. so far as it Is sent to
market, with the exceptions success
fully esta blished during the past year,
when it was demonstrated that at
low price it might be protitably fed to
hogs and shipped eventually as pork.
AS a result Of the large annual export
of wheat, however, a high per cent. OF
the crop is moved from the farm just
as it comes from the thresher.
In the case OF corn, however, while
the number of bushels shipped equals
Or exceeds the amount of wheat ham
died by the railroads, the proportion
of the entire crop 50 transported is far
less. In small crop, perhaps only Is
or 16 per cent. is sold directly by the
farmers; In large crop this amount
may reach 25 per cent. Consequently
of the bumper crop of 2. $50, 900 bushels
expected this year only a bout 500, 0OO,-
600 bushels will go to market as corn.
But the influence of a corn crop on
traffic does not stop here. The re-
mainder Of the crop, excepting what
is saved for seed and other
local purposes, goes into cattle and
hogs and their products. which fur
nisheS the railroads a sustained and
profitable fife The crops this wear
will be u strong stimulus to the raising
of cattle and hogs. The export de-
mand for corn is very small, and
there is no other method by which
such profitable returns can be secured.
| The poor crops in the corn states dur
ing the past three years, especially
that of last season. caused the farmers
to reduce the animals they were feed.
ing to the lowest number possible.
This year stock raising will see a re.
! vival such as has not been noticed for
a long period. The corn crop will
make this path to diversified farming
an easy road to travel"
