thanksgiving in 1850.

1t is commonly understood and fire.
ouently asserted, that Abraham Lincoln
was the first President to issue Thanks
giving proclamation, and that he estab-
lished custom to which all his success
ors have adhered. Before that time the
observance of the day was confined
chiefly to the New England States, where
IL had been ushered in every autumn
from early colonial times by Governors
proclamations The common belief is
essentially true. 1t was not until 1868
that any President proclaimed the last
Thursday in November as a dag Of M
tional thanksgiving. Mr.. Lincoln had
nineteen months before designated
particular Sunday for that purpose
Yet it should not be forgotten that in
the early days of the republic there were
occasional presidential proclamations of
this sort The very day of November
on which Thanksgiving falls this year
Thursday, the 26th-was set apart by
George Washington. in the first year OF
his administration, Ito be devoted by the
people of these States 20 the service of
that great and glorious Being Who IS
the beneicent author of ell the good that
was. that is, or that will be-" He pre-
faced these expressions by saying that

joint committee, had requested him to
make this recommendation.
1t was nearly six years before Wash
ineton issued another Thanksgiving proc
lamation; then he set apart Thursday
in February, assigning as one of the
reasons, "for the seasonable control
which has been given to a spirit of dis
order in the suppression of the late in
surrection,' referring to the almost for
gotten Whisky Instruction in western
Pennsylvania.
President Adams twice proclaimed
spring fast days, but he urged that the
duties Of humiliation and prayer be ac-
companied by praise and thanksgiving.
Madison. during his eight years in the
White House, set apart four such days,
but none of them fell in November.
Thanksgiving is not the only holiday
introduced by proclamation. The Gov
errors of the States in which 'Arbor day
is observed usually take this means of
calling public attention to its objects.
The old New England fast day was al
ways announced by proclamation,
which was read in the churches the Sun
day preceding, as the Thanksgiving proc
lamation still is.-Y outh's Companion.

Cucumber and Squash Bugs.

The striped beetle is a very trouble
some little creature, and by its depre-
dations inflicts heavy damage upon the
vegetable gardener. 1t confines its at
tacks almost entirely to the cucumber.
melon and squash. 1t is small beetle
scarcely quarter of an inch long, vel
lowish in color, with a black stripe
along the middle Of each wing cover
having a narrow black border. These
beetles feed voraclously upon the
young, tender plants and delight In
accommodating on the stem near the
growing, gnawing into the plant. The
female deposits her eggs in the ground
near the stem and roots. The young,
Matching from these eggs, burrow into
the stalk They complete their growth
IL about a month The worm is very
slender, whitish and about one-third
of an inch long.
Many methods have been used for
the destruction of this pest, but only
one or two are Of any practical value.
Some persons who do not grow ex-
tensiyely for market protect their
vines during the critical time with
screens or netting supported on wood
en- or wire arches. Some growers re

drive the beetles from the fields by the
sowing of plaster or air-slaked lime
This, of course must be followed up
persistently Others apply paris green

ter and dust It upon the plants. To
bacco dust can be used to good adyan-
tage about the base OF the plant to
keep the females from deposlting their
eggs Some growers use hardwood
ashes for the same purpose. Ashes or
sawdust saturated with turpentlae or
coal oil will also repe the beetles TO
certain extent.

times lacking in the true Thanksgiving
flavor; but the big, thick, yellow pump
kin pie with the genuine New England
taste and oldfashioned 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
slice of grandmJs pumpkin pie.
The pumpkin, as you may surmise, be-
longs to the gourd family. Just where
1t originated cannot be learned with any
certainty because in the early days rec
ords 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-
cially cultivated. There is no such thing
as a 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 cftcn noted.
The cultivation OF sourls began before
the dawn of history. and both edible and
ornamental varieties were abundantly
raised by the races of antiquity. The
pumpkin. which of course belongs 70 the
former. has become so modified by Gull.

it descended can no longer be traced. The
innumerable kinds to be seen in India
would seem TO indicate that that part of
Asia was its birthplace, but some appear
10 have been under cultivation in Africa
from the very earliest ages. The Rom
ans were familiar with certain varieties
.f it, and it was Used by them as an
article Of diet Thus three great coun-
tries of the Eastern hemisphere might
claim it as their own as far as we would
have any right to say. Perhaps the
pumpkin is a native of the whole world,
for it was found in the Western hemi-
sphere by the first white man who land
ed. and it must therefore have been in
digenous to American soil The Indians
knew it and cultivated it for centuries.
That the pumpkin was at one time a
much more important crop than it is to-
day is certain. 1t was as easily raised
then as now. as a stolen crop" the
seeds being planted in fields of corn or
potatoes, usually the former. Before the
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. \ winter

Reanee the cost Of production.


Those OF orr readers who are farm
erS for profit should concern them
selves more about lessening the cost
of production, and less about trying to
force the market price higher. The
best way for man TO raise the mar
ket price for his produce with GER
tainty and equity is to better the
quality of his produce In our large
cities the price Of butter varies from
10 cents to % cents per pound The
highest price paid for this commodity
is regulated by supply and demand.
No matter what the highest price may
be for butter, the intermediate prices
remain. The question for the farmer
to answer is: WIN | be found fur
nlshing butter for the lower end of
the scale or the highest?
{. To be ON the higher scale. he must
improve the quality of his product.
To make the best possible profit he
must lessen the cost of production TO

the difference between cost of produc-

for the product. The farmer needs

The First Thanksgiving.

Was filled with icy wool.
The boughs were leafiess on the trees.

And moaned Ike one ia pain.

And pleads for bread when there is none

Shrieking his 'haw, haw, haw."

Pride and CnttIe Feeding-

!, During the, last decade cattle feed
ers have been paying more and more
attention TO the breeding Of the stock
stuff they buy. A great many of them
who formerly thought nothing Of pick
ing up a bunch Of mixed stock steers
of uncertain lineage, all the colors OF
the rainbow. and uneven in size, now
want high-grade stuff. Of even color
and size and quality. This is as a.
should be. II is to be hoped that the
time will come when the doggy steer
will be a memory only But the
farmer who feeds the cattle feeds
them as means of livelihood, not TO
crafty his personal pride. He may
have, and should have, high ideals, but
be must take conditions as he finds
them. He must feed the kind Of cattle
that Will make him the most money
if he would succeed. II the doggy steer
from Oklahoma is the one that prom
ises the greatest profit. It Il good bust
ness to feed the Oklahoma doggy II Is
all very well to have feed-lot filed
with higb-grade whitefaces and even
colored shorthorns, or fancy doddies,
to show to ones neighbors, but when
these are bought at fancy figure and
the beef cattle market declined, they
may not realize the FIRST cost and the
feed and labor bestowed upon them.
II IS a well-known fact that many OF
tho lots Of doggy steers marketed here
the past summer made more money
for their owners than some Of the lots
Of high grade steers did. The reason
was that there was not as much diff
ference in price when they were sold
for slaughter as there was when they
were bought as stockers 1t Is all
right to have their high ideals, and
continue 10 work toward them. But.
at the same time, 1t Is good business 10
take advantage OF situations such 40
the one which exists at this market
now. when eommoner grades Of stock
cattle can be bought at ridicdlously
low prices. and are pretty sure to
make the feeders good profits. Be
sides. by husfng up these dogies, fat
tening them. and sending them to the
shambles, the feeders will be helping
to rid the country Of this inferior stock
and aid in bringing about the cattle

blood shall flow IN the veins Of the
