.Homa Eestival.

Thanksgiving should be a Home Fes
tival as well as a season of praise and
prayer. There is nothing at all incon-
gruous in such dual observance. In
the home is the hope of the nation, and
everything which tends to the sweeten
ing of its atmosphere, the strengthen
ing of it's ties, the perpetuation of it's
influence, or the deepening OF the affec-
ton of Its members, deserves recogni-
tion and encouragement. Better homes
mean a better people and a better ma
ton.
Let Thanksgiving be then homo day
a day consecrated to the service Of God
and to the furtherance of domestic hap
piness and family joy, Let it be time
for calling in all the loved ones, NIL the
wanderers from the old hearthstone,
to renew again the tender memories of
earlier days, and to relindle the sympa-
thies and affections which time and
distance often deaden and make cold
Christian Work.

THE FARMING WORLD.
STABLE CARE OF COWS.

sun and Air Are Essential to Health rs
Good Feed.
The change from wet to dry or from
grass to dry feed should be made grad
ual. One dry feed day and that at
night should be given. Housing
should commence as soon as the nights
are frosty. In the morning feed
liberal ration of grain. After eight or
ten days give dry feed only, adding
as a ration Some potatoes, apples,
mangles or turnips, to keep up the
juices and better the digestion of the
dry food.
Clover hay should always be provided
for mich cows, early cut when just in
the blossom. All kinds of grasses, to
get best results, should be cut when
in the full blossom; If cut later their
value for feeding purposes is very much
diminished. The woody fiber is of no
value for nutriment. Plenty of sweet
clover hay that has been properly cured
by cutting it after the dew is off and
put in the cock before dew falls and
cured for two days and put in the NOW
direct from the bunch with little
slack lime sown on each load will sweat
out nice and be sweet and succulent-
rs good as any feed / have ever used
A little corn meal will add to the
value of ration for milk. No animal
should be housed or stabbed without
good clean bed. The man that
starves his cows for food or bedding
is unjust to himself and cruel to the
COW that does her best to return all
she can in the way of production.
Kindness consists in the feeding as
well as the treatment 1t will pay to
give each one IA good carding, or better
use brush. Give ample exercise and
out-of-door rest from the stable. An
imals become diseased by being kept
in too much confinement, as their
whole system is thus disorganized.
Sun and air are as much a requisite
as the comfortable stable to health and
vigor. Regularity in feeding and exer-
else is quite as essential as in milking.
1T will not be a necessity to dehorn
cattle when they are properly treated.
1t is the disposition of the animal to
be irritable when she suffers in any
way. Provide in season everything
for its seasonable use, and il there Is
lack in one element supplant it by
that which approximates to it the
nearest-Gilbert Jaffrey, in Farm and
Home.
The Van Buren press., 1895-11-23
In Regard to Milking.

If cows teats become sore, as they
are apt to in the fall, little fresh lard
or vaseline applied at milking time and
rubbed into the skin of the teat dur
ing the operation of milking will gen
orally effect a cure after three or four
applications. Where this remedy fails
a good family salve will probably prove
efficacious. In such cases tender hand
ling and cleanliness are important. In
the process of milking the keeping of
the teats well cleansed while milking
and the avoidance of permitting any
dirt, dust, hairs or other impurities to
fall into the pail are points which
scarcely need to be enforced upon the
attention of dairymen of judgment and
taste.-Farmer's Voice.

The Best Part Rises First.

Prof. Arnold says that cream viii
continue to rise till the milk gets
thick, be that time short or long. The
best part first rises first. If milk is
skinned eye..y 10 hours and the
cream of each period churned separate
ly, the product of the first period will
be the highest favored and the highest
colored, and the color, quantity and
flavor of each successive sl1imming will
diminish to the last, but the keeping
qualities will grow better. The fourth
and fifth skimmings win be quite pale
and insipid. Where a high-colored
article is desired, it is not advisable to
continue the process of creaming too
long. What will rise in As hours at so
degrees on milk 4 inches deep, is all
that is generally profitable to separate.
What comes up after that Is so whire
and tssteless as to do more injury, by
depressing the flavor and color, than
II can do good by Increasing quantity.

Success In Melon Growing.

The Watermelon Bulletin gives the
following directions for growing tho
largest melon Select your hill or hills
that you want to try for largest mel
ons in your deepest and clearest sand,
that has been well fertilized TO begin
with not allowing more than two
plants to the hill; one is better. Now
perforate the ground with holes, such
as broom handle would make, from
near the hill to three or four feet In
circumference, then with liquid fer
tilizer from stable or COW pen fill in
these perforations, rake the surface
and repeat once or twice more during
the progress of vines to cover the
ground. Give for your largest melons
the form, or young melons, with the
largest and stockiest stem, as indicat-
ing it's capacity to draw on the parent
vine .

STORING POTATOES.
Methods Must Vary According to Climatic
Conditions

Methods Must Vary According to Climatic
Conditions.
Methods of storing potatoes intended
for market vary according to climatic
conditions in the several sections Of the
country, says an exchange. In the
south, especially in the northern belt
of southern states and in the southern
belt of northern states, potatoes are
not stored freely in the house cellars
as in the north. Indeed, cellars do not
prevail, except in the folm of half un.
Gerground structures built near the
house on dry spots. The portions
above the surface soil are banked up
and the roof is covered with soil. Into
these doorway enters on the end. The
dangers that lurk in deeaying yegeta-
bles are thus removed from the house
hold. In sections where the climate Ia
warmer than New England potatoes are
stored in the field when early sales are
to be made. At first straw is put over
them in such way as to lap and throw
the water off. Piles are made either
round or long. Then a dry place is se-
cured, the ground is plowed out to
light depth and dirt thrown out, form
ing trench. After cold weather sets
in the dirt is used to throw over the po-
tatoes. Vent spots are made along the
pile. The chief point to be secured is
cool atmosphere, not over-moist.
Moisture and warmth are fatal to the
keeping quality Of potatoes. Many
farmers place them on tie dirt floor OF
the cellar, but it is better to elevate
them on a floor that permits current
of air to circulate beneath them. Mr..
Terry, who is quoted on questions per.
tanning to potatoes as an authority,
houses his in bushel boxes laid over
each other in tier fashien. This al
lows of q movement of air through the
mass of boxes and to some extent
among the potatoes. 1t is opposed to
ready heating and sweating and the
conditions that further the rotting OF
potatoes. In these days of the univer-
sal discussion of bacteria, germs and
microbes, 1t is needless to say that
moisture and warmth are coadjutors
In the development of these destruc-
tive forms of plant life. Warmth, too.
is inimical to the germ vitality of the
potato, especially where or when It is
alternated with cold. inducing the start
OF the germ or sprouts in case of the po
tato and their certain breaking when
handled and the consequent loss of
purt of the food nourisnment of the
mother plant.

the fumes are then given off in great
abundance. Our practice has been to
put the sulphur in a shallow pan and
then set it over an oil stove, having the
flame turned just high enough to keep
the sulphur in a melted condition. Al
most continuous watching was Heees-
sary TO prevent the material from TAX
ing fire, for if this should occur it would
proye almost instantly fatal to all the
plants which might be reached by the
gas. The difficulty was in great
measure overcome by an assistant, who
suggested the use of sand bath as q
means of modifying the intensity of the
heat. Our present outfit consists of
two pans placed on an oil stove. The
lower pan is half filled with clear,
coarse sand, and the upper one contains
the sulphur. BY It's use our houses
have been kept remarkably free from
mildew, even under very adverse cir
cumstances. But there is constant
danger that the sulphur will become
heated to the burning point, and then
the entire stock of plants in the house
Is lost. This use of sulphur is often
very convenient, but the work should
be placed in the hands of most trust
worthy person. If house should be
thoroughly treated in this manner
every week or two, scarcely any mildew
eould develop.

THE PURITAN THANKSGIVING,

"A Story of Uncomplaining Foititude Sple-u
did Faith and Undaunted Heroism.
In what penury, what hardship. what
sense of exile, what darkness of bereave-
ment, what dependence upon the Di-
vine hand and gratitude for its bounty,
were the earliest Thanksgivings keptl
The story of the Plymouth colony can
never be too often recalled by Amer
leans. For uncomplaining fortitude.
for sturdy endurance, for strength
that knew no faltering, for splendid
faith and undaunted heroism, that
story has no equal on the page of his
tory. Many delicate women died in
those first years, but we never read
that they weakened in courage while
they lived. Theirs was the underlying
might of purpose which had It's root
in principles; and, whoever may cele-
brate the Pilgrim Fathers, women
should forever keep green the memory
of the heroic Pilgrim Mothers.
We like to think of the groups which
assembled at those Puritan dinner
tables in those far-away days. The
harvests were reaped; the churches and
the sehool-houses were built, the chill
dren were brought up In the fear Of
God. In the cold Westinghouse on
the top of the nearest hill there had
been long service, prayers, psalms,
sermons, all of generous prodigality
of time to which we in our religious
services of to-day are strangers. Then
came the unbending the lavish dinner,
the frolic of the little ones, the Talk be-
side the fire, when the parents drew
upon the "reminiscences of fair Eng,
land, or of Holland by the sea-
Many trothplight was spoken in
the twilight OF Thanksgiving day.
Youths and maidens then, as youths
and maidens still, met and fell In love.

Long was the good mans sermon.
But II seemed not so to me,
For he spake of Ruth the beautiful,
And then / thought of thee"
After all, the world changes little In
essentials MS time passes. The girl
will wear her blue or her orange few
days later this year, but on Thanksgiv-
ing day, as on all days, her lover find
his sunshine in her eyes, and her favor
will be his highest incentive to manli-

The years have helped us win,
Have opened wide enough to let

From angel-land astray,
