On Thanksgiving eve, at eight p. m.
might have been seen torchlight pro-
cession moving across the meadow
from Mr.. Emery's barn, and along the
lane that led to Widow Gray's cottage
at the other end Of the village. And
this was the programme:
Two boys with Chinese lanterns; two
little Cinnamon bearing on a pole be-
tween them a real Chinese tea-chest
filled with tea and sugar; wheelbar-
row, alternately wheeled by Joe EN-
cry and Will Somerby. On each side Of
the barrow two pumpkins containing
pies, doughnuts, etc. One pumpkin in
front with celery and cranberries:
large oval pumpkin in the center with
turkey, decorated With laurel sprigs;
spaces filed up with white potatoes and
sweet potatoes: at the head of the bar

THANKSGIVING

The old-time honored custom of max
ing festival at Thanksgiving, as. in
deed, at all other national holidays, is
simple. beautiful, right
No greater argument can be ad-
vanced in favor of these holidays than
that we continue zealously to keep
them up in letter II not in spirit.
When we think of the terrible hard
ships the Puritans were constantly un-
dergoing. and yet of the feast which
they spread in the wilderness-when
we think of their brave CHEEKY ways, of
their courage that stopped at nothing.
and Of that first primeval Thanksgfv-
ing dinner with it's attendant praise
service and air of hearty cheer, We can
not help regretting that a little Of that
old-time sentiment has not descended
to the present generation.
We who have everything to be thank
full for are often thankful for little. We
who are surrounded by every comfort
are often as ungrateful as If we were
surrounded by none. II one does not
appreciate ones mercies, one may as
well have calamities, for what does
prosperity signify If one ia not glad?
Let US then be truly, heartily glad for
the beautiful world that surrounds US.
for the books, the flowers, the pictures,
the music, the love of kith and kin. the
lisping words Of children, the helpful
hands of friends-for all this and much
more which we receive with apparent
Indifference.

THIS WAS THE PROGRAMME.

THIS WAS THE PROGRAMME.
First the pumpkins were cut in two
parts. about two-thirds from the base:
then both parts were scooped out, !eav-
ing the yellow rind about an inch in
thickness: then q green willow withe
or switch was cut the right length and
put into the smallest part Of the divid-
ed pumpkin (the cover). for . handle.
Then the boys put q thin coat Of var
nish over their work, and left to dry
On q shelf In the barn row Of splendid
new-fashioned orange-colored dishes
and covers!
The next three days were busy days.
I can tell you, for the surprise party:
but Squire Fiske gave Il turkey and
the ''dxings..'- celery and cranberries
and Joe's mother made q real Yam
kee plum-pudding: and Wills sister
made two such pies. as Will said-
mince and squash-and the othe. boys

This disease is common In the fall
months, says Farm Journal. We have
already had several inquiries indicat-
ing that it has come to the flocks of
our readers. The first symptom usu-
ally noticed is heavy, difficult breath
ing and stretching up Of the neck.
After awhile the comb turns purple
and the bird suffocates. We do not
know of any ''sure cure for this very
troublesome complaint. but recon-
mend a trial of the following: Take
q large, long shoe box and make q par
tition a foot from the small end and
cover the bottom of this small apart
ment with coal ashes. Mix a table
spoonful each Of pine tar. turpen-
tine and sulphur, adding q few drops
of carbolic acid and q pinch of gum
camphor. Heat a brick very hot and
lay it on the ashes. Now put the bird
or birds in the large apartment. drop
a spoonful of the mixture on the hot
brick and cover with a cloth. Watch
carefully and be ready to remove the
patients at once after two or three
minutes exposure to the fumes. 1t Is
easy to kill them by suffocation. An
examination will show a whitish men,
brane forming in the throat The for
nation of this may sometimes be
checked by spraying the throat with
peroxide of hydrogen or with this
formula: 1 ounce glycerine, 5 drops
nitric acid, gill water. All affected
birds should be separated from the
general flock, and care should be exer-
the contagion may be communicated
to human beings. Those who use
homeopathic remedies should give
Mercurius Iodatum every two hours.

Using the Separator.

In running separator do not have
the milk needlessly warm, says Ameri-
can Dairyman. Mr.. Wagner. instruc-
tor in butter-making at Cornell Univer-
sity, teaches that 80 degrees is better
than a higher temperature. He believes
that probably the most important point
In running a separator is the thickness
Of the cream. and says: Adjust your
separator SO that your cream will be as
thick asyou can churn. BY this l meanas
thick rs can be and yet fall from end to
end Of revolving churn and not stick
to the sides when churning. Such
cream will generally contain IS to IS
Der cent Of fat. I consider this very
important point. Cream containing 40
per cent Of fat will churn more quick
" and leave less fat in the buttermilk
1T IS degrees than will cream contain
ing Is to 20 per cent at 60 degrees. The
secret Of quick churning at the very
low temperature to IS degrees,
which we know to be the best-is to
have your cream very rich. This is an
advantage you cannot secure from cold
settings, it being difficult to obtain
cream of this class with much over Is
to 20 per cent of fat. The second point
Of great importance is to cool the cream
at once to q low temperature least
Is degrees hold it there for q
few hours before warming it up to ripen.
Whenever, in summer time. we are
troubled with cream that coagulates
before It gets much acid. or with diff
ferent Cummings, which some of us
have, feel sure that chilling the cream
directly from the separator will help
greatly. We shall get better grain,
letter flavor, and more satisfactory re-
suits in every way. believe that this
n after Of careless handling of cream
after it is separated is the rock upon
which many butter-makers split.

Feeding Poultry on Farms.

The time has been when poultry
was not thought deserving any atten-
ton 1t all from the farmer. It was as
much out Of his line as baking bread
or sweeping the rooms of the dwelling
house. The hens were allowed to go
anywhere on the farm in the winter;
but they remained near the cattle.

Q morsel. Sometimes the farmers
wife. with her sympathy for helpless
creatures. would laboriously wend her
way through the snow to give her pets
. mess Of corn; but 50 far as the far
mef himself was concerned, he didn't
consider them worthy Of notice. But
the present day the farmer is more
prone to make his mistakes in over
doing the work and in using little
judgment in feeding. He feeds uber-
ally but depends too much on grain.
"A slight change In the food will some
times accomplish much. When the
hens have been given corn exclusively
they require something that is radi-
cally different. Lean meat or q ration
composed Of bran or linseed meal may
start the hens to laying. simply because

not even pressed into cakes. Here was
q hint, says correspondent OF the
Practical Farmer, that might have been
made of service to many. Numbers
OF farms have few cows, and there
seems only one way to dispose Of the
milk, that of making butter. Why
should not these women who spend
hours a day in making butter to ex-
change for groceries at eight cents q
pound make the milk into cottage
cheese, and have 1t sold at some fam
lily supply house, or even find
. few customers and furnish as
they would butter. There is no
great margin of profit as there
once was in butter and cheese
making. and If the by-products of the
dairy room could be better utilized. or
the milk itself turned into new chan
nels, and made into some of what are
known as the fancies, or even dain-
ties, It would seem that it would be the
more profitable way. Now that this
country is to consume all of its butter
and cheese, it would suggest itself as
. business proposition that the meth
DDS of manufacture take on wider
range. and instead of just butter and
cheese, we should have variety Of the
cheeses, and put up in its many fancy
forms. Last year, as low as was the
price Of cheese. this country imported
Q million and half dollars worth of
fancy cheese from Europe. Why not
make this variety at home?

Breed . Good Horse.

Should the farmer breed a foal that
promises well for the turf he may sell
it at good profit, but the moment he
undertakes to develop it and profit by
its racing qualities, he makes de-
posit against which his checks will
not be honored. But the farmer may
breed high class roadster, a coach
horse, or a draft horse, and If the
mating of the sire and dam is done
intelligently, and proper care is given
the foal, he will be assured Of success.
But the quality cannot be neglected.
The sire and dam must represent what
you want in the foal. Should the sire
and dam not possess breeding. but
are the result of accident. you are not
assured that they will reproduce them
selves. The cheapness of the services
of a cross roads stallion should not
recommend him. Look first for con-
tinued breeding in the line you desire
then individuality, and the reasonable
ness Of the price may be considered
afterward. But you should remember
that the services of a well bred ami
NAL with good individuality are worth
more and can not be offered for the
price of the scrub. The produce Of
the one promises a profit on your in
vestment, while the other will prove
deceptive and in all probability bring
you in debt. Horses demanded by the
present and future markets can not be
grown in herds on the western ranches
like cattle. Free grass" will not make
the massive draft animal, the high
stepping coacher, or the stylish. shape
" driver. Herd life will not contrib
ute to that desirable disposition which
adds SO much to the value Of an ami
NAL when called upon for SERVICE

Good Poultry Exhibits.

We have noticed at some of the fairs
this year that the poultry exhibits were
especially fine. We presume the same
is true of most of the fairs we did not
visit. There certainly appears to be q
steady improvement in the character
Of the birds shown. If all would visit
the poultry departments of the fairs
much might be learned. There are
little improvements in feeding, water
ing and care that will more than repay
the close attention needed to discover
them. The poultry men are all the
time hitting on new devices and some
Of them are very original. A little
thing sometimes becomes a great con-
venience. The hard times have evil
IDENTIFY not discouraged the poultry
men. The large number Of birds ex-
hibited shows conclusively that the fl-
ture prospects are regarded as fairly
bright. 1t is probable that the hard
times have had less effect on the
poultry industry than most any other.
Geese are fattened in large numbers
In some places of the European CONT
nent, especially in the neighborhood Of
Strasburg-a place celebrated for its
pies. There geese have a shepherd to
tend them. as sheep have. The birds
are reared by the peasan:ry, every one
Of whom is possessed of some stock of
these valued fowls. and. says Rural
Life IAN old English work., the shep-
herd every morning wakes the echoes
of the village by the sound Of q trum-
pet, with which he assemblies his
feathered flock, which, in company of
. herd Of pigs. repair to the pasture on
the common devoted to that purpose.
In the evening the shepherd leads back
his flock, but before they arrive at the
village almost all the geese take flight,
rise above the roofs and settle down in
their respective homes.
Raising Lilacs.-It Is an easy way Of
raising lilacs to SOW the seed. The pods
are gathered in the fall and sown in
the spring. They soon sprout, but
make only two or three inches of |
