In In the shed;
The woods a-gettin' barer ez the leaves
come f1utt'rin down,
Ar E2e punkins CROWN yeller an the pas
5ur gettin' brown;
The robbins flynn low along the sheltered
alder run,
an the orchard cleans a whistle COZ the
C1der-makins done.
Smells Ike Thanksgivin round the housed
I rather guess you'd know
What day 1t wuz by snifln' round, COZ
everywhere you go
EOu ketch the scent O. stufin' an the
smell O. pies an cakes,
An Gran Dry sass an turkey an the pud-
ainf Sary makes
Jest Ter Thanksgivin; coz, she says, she
1ggers that it brings
A 1oRn ter takin', somehow q more thank
1ui view O. things.
Bounds Ike Thanksgivin' round the farm
The blackbirds chatt'Iin' so
Ihe pa fridge whirrin in the woods, an
everywhere you go
AUB hear the fails a-hyin' an yer hear the
drivers call
Giean from the pike the airs so clean, an
then, the best of all.
Ter near the wagon rattlin, an yer know
IT'S on the way
From the station with the chiIdren-come
10 spend Thanksgivin' day.
An 'tiz Thanksgivin', no mistake! Coz

introduction of the squash the pumpkin
was used as a table vegetable, and in
many of the countries of the Orient this
use continues to this day. A winter
pumpkin grown in Turkey is snow white.
This variety is sold extensively on the
streets of Constantinople. In Hungary
attempts to turn pumpkins to account in
the manufacture of sugar, in the same
way that beets are used, have been
made, but they We're not attended with
any great degree of success. Sometimes,
in the United States, when sugar and
money are both scarce, the pumpkin is
boiled to a syrup, thus furnishing a sub
stitute for sugar, which, under the cir
cumstances, goes very well.
The American pumpkin Is big yellow
fellow, though attempts are constantly
being made to substitute the smaller,
and often less available, kinds. The fact
remains that the pumpkin which grows
in the field along with the corn is the
best for the Thanksgiving pie, after all
is said and done. 1t has no frills, and no
high sounding name, but, in the language
of the poet, it gets there just the same.

BILLIONS FOR FARMERS.
Value of Their Various Crops This Year
Will Reach $3,2OO,OO,OOOO.

Will Reach $3,2OO,OO,OO
| Much has been said and printed about
| the failure of the wheat crop this year.
| The yield was under that first expected,
| and under the yields of recent years.
But the extraordinarily high prices Tor
wheat prevailing this fall have made the
crop probably the most valuable III the
history of the country to the farmers. 1t
is estimated that the wheat yield this
year was worth to the farmers about
1851 100000, as compared with a value
of $443, 100000 last year, S422,2OO,OOO
in 1902, and S467, 100000 in 1901.
The cotton crop of the present year
is close to the best i'll size and quality
ever produced in this country. The spec
uiation in cotton last year, however, made
an extremely high range of prices for the
staple and probably put the total value
of last seasons crop to the planters at
a higher figure than will be realized for
the crop this season. The estimated fig
ures are 5000, 100000 for this years
crop, as compared with SGT, 100000 for
last years crop, $3.50, 100000 in 1902,
and $43S, 100000 i'll 1901.
The hay crop is one of the most val
liable that the farmers of the country
its vicissitudes during the growing sea-
son. This year the hay crop is very
large, but the price is not up to the ay-
erage of former years. The total value
of the crop is estimated at S55O,0OOOO0,
as compared with $556, 100000 in 1908,
$:,42, 100000 in 1902, and $500, 1O00 900 in
1901.
The potato crop this year is one of the
best, if not the best, in the history of
the country, and although the price per
bushel is considerably less than that pre-
vailing last year, the remuneration to the
farmers will be larger. There is indi-
Gated total value of the potato crop
OF $15SO00,000, as compared with $151,-
100000 last year, S134, 100000 in 1902,
and $143900,000 in 1901.
The oat, rye, barley and buckwheat
crops are excellent this year, and prices
are good. The yields to the farmers this
fall are figured at total of $356,OO0,0OO
fof the four crops, as compared with
1882, 100000 last year, $390,900,00O in
1902 and S36S, 7OO,O in 1901.
Combined, the crops Of the country
this year represent value to the farm
ers, at the prevailing prices, larger than
ever before in the history of the country.
The grand total of the yield of the har-
vests this fall is estimated at $3,200,-
100000. Last year records were broken
by yield of So, 073 00O,0 900. In 1902 the
harvest was worth $29S7, 100000. In
191 the yield to the farmers was So
S45, 100000.

HINES lacking in the true Thanksgiving
aayGT; but the big, thick, yellow pump
kin pie with the genuine New England
taste and old-fashioned filling capacity.
Be- the dinner ever so long and its courses
elaborate beyond description, there is al
ways room at the end for a generous
alice of grandma's pumpkin pie
phe pumpkin, as you may sur7nise. be-
ongs to the gourd family. just where
1t originated cannot be learned with any
certainty, because in the early days rec
ards of such things were not kept. Many
varieties of it are cultivated suscess-
fully IN both temperate and tropical eli
mates, and in Southern Asia it is espe-
chilly cultivated. There is no such thing
aS 4 wild pumpkin. The plant accommo-
dates itself to differences in soil and eli
mate very readily, and this fact accounts
for the difference in shape and flavor
which is often noted.
The cultivation of gourds began before
fhe dawn of history, and both edible and
ornamental varieties were abundantly
raised by the races of antiquity. The
pumpkin, which of course belongs to the
former, has become so modified by cul-
ez1re that the original plant from which
& descended can no longer be traced. The
nnumerable kinds to be seen in India
would seem to indicate that that part of
Asia was its birthplace. but some appear

from the very earliest ages. The Rom
Ans were familiar with certain varieties
Of il. and it was used by them as an
article OF diet. Thus three great coun-
tries of the Eastern hemisphere might
claim 1t as their own as far as we would
Aave any right to say. Perhaps the
pumpkin is native OF the whole world,
for 1t was found in the Western hemi-
sphere by the first white man who land
ed, and it must therefore have been in
5igeRDus to American soil. The Indians
knew it and cultivated it for centuries.
That the pumpkin was at one time q
much more important crop than it is to-
day Is certain. 1t was as easily raised
ghsa as now. as a ''stolen crop" the
SeeSas being planted in fields of corn or
spfasoes. usually the former. Before the
