Monday morning there was the hint
of the approach of winter and before
night the ground was white with snow
Tuesday morning nearly four inches had
fallen, a sharp crust formed and still
raining moderately. This the hunters
knew was rather unfavorable for their
purpose, but conformed to circumstances
and started out in pursuit of big game
But it seems that the sense of sight was
fully as acute in the game, and the sense
Of hearing still more so, which enabled
them to keep at a safe distance, with the
result that the said hunters came home
late in the afternoon tired and hungry,
and nothing to show for their hard days
hunting but rabbit.
Thus far Oscar Peabody and wife
stand at the head for killing big game,
he having killed two deer and his wife
one.
And this is the way some of the farm
ers got their money raising sweet corn
one man planted two and one-half acres,
and he got little over S25 for it, his
phosphate at the same time costing much
more than that. Some other pieces did
better, but none of the farmers got rich
planting it this year.
Daniel Coles we'll water is rather poor
at the best, and dries up entirely with
every drouth. Last week he employed
crew in digging an aqueduct about GO
rods in length, starting from a spring,
and now he has water running into his
house and barnyard. Those who have
been plagued for water for years, and
then have it thus handy, know how to
appreciate it.

Save the Calves.

The season is approaching when farm
ers who own dairy stock will be obliged
to care for young calves. Great loss is
sustained each year from calf scours, a
disease which often attacks the calves
when very young. Sometimes the dis
ease runs through the herd, and it is al
most impossible to raise any calves at
all. Various remedies have been suggest
ed, but nothing has proved really effect
i've until Hood Farm Calf Scour Treat
ment was placed on the market. This
Treatment consists of Calf Scour Cure
and Digestive Powder. They were pre-
pared originally to be used in the valu-
able herd of Jerseys at Hood Farm,
Lowell, Mass. The proprietor of Hood
Farm is Mr.. G. l. Hood, pharmacist of
very large experience, and he gave
special attention to this subject, because
he was suffering very severe losses In
his own herd. Every farmer who ex-
poets to raise calves this season should
be supplied with these remedies. 1t
will be very profitable investment to
buy them at once.

Marshall Field Ranch, Madison, Neb.,
says: eve have saved some calves with

Thanksgiving Proclamation

The season IL At hand when, according to the
custom of our people. IL falls upon the President
TO appoint day of praise and Thanksgiving to
God.
During the last year the Lord has dealt boun-
tifuly with US, giving US peace at home and
abroad and the chance for our citizens 10 work
for their welfare unhindered by war. famine or
plague. IL behOoves us not only 10 rejoice
greatly because of what has been given US, but
to accept IL with solemn sense of responsibility,
realizing that under heaven II rests with US our
selves % show that we are worthy to use Alright
what has thus been entrusted TO our care. In no
other place and at no other time has the expert
ment OF government of the people, by the people,
for the people, been tried ON so vast q scale as
here in our own country In the opening years of
the twentieth century. Failure would not only
he dreadful thing for US, but dreadful thing
for all mankind, because Il would mean loss of
hope for all who believe In the power and the
righteousness OF liberty. Therefore, In thanking
God for the mercies extended to US in the past,
we beseech Him that Tie may not withhold them
In the future, and that our hearts NAV be reused
TO war steadfastly for good and against all the
forces OF evil, public and private. We pray for
strength and light so that In the coming years
we may with cleanliness, fearlessness. and wis
dom, DO our allotted work on the earth IN such
manner as TO show that we are not altogether
unworthy of the blessings we have received.
Now, therefore, |, Theodore Roosevelt, Presi-
dent of the United States. do hereby designate
as Jay of general Thanksgiving. Thursday,
the 10Th of the coming November and do recon-
mend that throuhgout the land the people cease
from their wOnted occupations, and In their
several homes and places OF worship render
thanks unto Almighty God for His manifold
mercies.
In witness whereof | have hereuntO set my

Goxernor Hill on Maine.

Governor John F. Hill contributes to
the Boston Globes Jubilee number the
following article on Maine:
Maine though a comparatively small
state, by reason of her natural resources,
agricultural facilities and industrial in
tereStS, has long commanded attention,
For the past few years the markets OF
Europe have been seeking more earnest
IN her products, thus directing to her
borders permanent international atten-
ton. The growth of population since
1879 has not beer phenomenal nor spas
modic but gradual and substantial.
In some respects Maine is in the in
fancy of her development.
Home investments have multiplied So
rapidly in the past decade that many
of her important resources have been
brought to the attention of capitalists,
with the result that additional factories
have been established, transportation
facilities increased and employment
given to many thousands.
So marvellous have been the manu-
featuring and transportation develop
ments that many portions of the state,
but few years since little less than a
wilderness, have been transformed into
busy industrial communities. The in
exhaustive forests of Maine are attracting
more capital than ever before from the
diversified uses of the wood lately dis
covered, and the pulp concerns of the
state, comparatively recent industry,
now represent in product over Sl3, 600, 900
annually.
Maine has long been known as almost
the home of sea fisheries and all the
latest appliances for catching, curing
and shipping have been adopted OF
recent years. The farmers have exhibit
ed the same progressiveness, and labor
saving machinery is quite generally in
use. Orcharding as phase of agricult-
ural interests has grown to large pro-
portions, the shipments to Europe now
amounting to million barrels or more
in favorable seasons. Much activity is
also being shown in the creamery indus
try, which is now rapidly reaching a
high standard of efficiency.
The fish and game interests Of Maine
command wide attention; her magnii-
cent coast and beautiful lakes and
rivers afford almost unlimited oppor-
tunity for summer sojOurn, and many
persons who visit the state for recrea-
ton remain permanently.
