Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The President has issued his
proclamation naming Thursday.
November 30, as a day for thanks
giving. The proclamation follows:
by the President of the United
States of America.
PROCLAMATION.
When nearly three centuries
ago the first settlers came to the
country which has now become
this great republic, they fronted
not only hardships and privation.
but terrible risk to their lives In
those grim years the custom grew
of setting apart one day in each
year for a special service of thanks
giving to the Almighty for pre-
serving the people through the
changing seasons. The custom has
now become national and hallowed
by lmmemorial usage.
We live in easier and more
plentiful times than ourforefathers.
the men who with rugged strength
faced the rugged days; and vet the
dangers to national life are as great

PASSENGERS Prefer Steel Cars.

In the New York subway there is
one steel car on every train. and it is
a curious fact that this one car is
packed, while the others have many
vacant seats. The passengers realize
that there is less danger of injury in
the former than in the latter style
Thousands of people also realize the
danger in allowing the system to be
come weak and run down and the
blood impure, and consequently always
keep bottle of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters handy. 1t is excellent as a
strength builder and tonic, and pre-
vents disease from obtaining a foot

delay and you'll be thankful for taking

1t is a common practice to save the
dish water as slop for pigs, but as this
often contains washing soda hogs fed
on such slop are always out of whack
and often sicken and die. The
symptoms and course OF the disease
appear much like cholera. Diarr-
hoea, vomiting, fever, lameness, par
tial paralysis, nervous disturbance and
death frequently occur. The course
of the disease is from few hours to
several days, apparently depending
upon the amount of alkali ingested at
one time. Death occurs in the major
ity of cases. Upon post mortem ex-
animation, the Emphatic glands along
the bowels are founu swollen and
dark colored. The mucous membrane
lining the intestines is pale and
shiny. Other internal organs are also
involved. The treatment is wholly
preventive and consists in avoiding
the feeding of Stops containing these
alkalies.

lambs contract the disease from their
n,others, and the damp state of the
oround is likely to encourage it. The
list plan is to have every sheep
through and thoroughly pare down the
hoof. Keeping the walls of the hoof
level with the inner part so that the
PRESSURE is equally distributed over
The foot. In the case of a diseased
foot the foul part must be well cut
o,yay. care being taken not to cause
Needing; well dress with a caustic
mixture, so as to prevent proud flesh
growing, and to stimulate the vascu-
lar parts to secrete healthy horn. If
fine weather is inclined to be wet a
strong dressing is necessary, such as
muriate of anthony applied with a
feather, and again equal parts of n.y.
drochloric acid and tincture of myrrh;
a milder dressing is strong solution
of sulphate of copper, and tincture of
aloes or friar's balsam is milder still.
All these are useful if applied with
discretion according to the severity OF
the case. A useful application as we
AS a preventative is coal tar, particu-
larly if little creosote is added to it;
and some powdered plaster of paris
over the tar will assist it's drying eff
feet. A change to a dry pasture is
necessary. Sulphate of lime, powdered,
/ o.; sulphate of zinc, 1 o.; creosote,
/ scruple; Stockholm tar, 4 o.; lard,
4 o.; made into an ointment, and ap-
piled to the hoof and between the
cleft, after pairing, is a good dressing.
At all times when the foot is badly
diseased it is necessary to tie up and
put pad under the hoof. This will
induce the sheep to put some pressure
on the ground, and cause the spong'
growth to harden into hOOf. A good
plan is to have a corner where the
sheep are folded covered to the depth
of two or three inches with quicklime
The caustic of the lime will be verV
beneficial to the feet When foot rot
is very prevalent, another good plan is
to have wooden trough, about four
inches deep, filed with caustic solu-
ton, and cause the sheep to go slow
through several times week.

buying the meat is by some myster-

to sell at the top price to consumers.

Experiments in Denmark go to show
that 100 pounds of potatoes are equiva-
lent to 400 pounds of grain. At the
Wisconsin station, where potatoes
were fed in comparison with corn, it
was found that 100 pounds of corn
were equivalent to 44O pounds of
spuds. Assuming that one pound of
corn is equivalent to four of potatoes,
if the latter cost 20 cents a bushel
it would be just as cheap to pay 80
cents bushel for corn. In feeding pO-
tatoes it is advisable to first cook
them to drive off some OF the water
and Furthermore to break up the tough
cell walls This is one food which
is made better by cooking.

While many farmers claim that a
quiet disposition is essential in a good
brood SOW a nervous, hustling SOW
will save more pigs on the average
than sluggish, lazy one. All brood
sows should be made accustomed to
having attendants about and in the
pen with them. If the feed is given
by man entering the pen each time
it serves to tame the pigs much more
than when feed is put in from the
outside.

Fully fifty per cent of the cattle re-
ceived at the big markets from Janu-
airy to June are infested and more or
less injured by the presence of the
larvae of the bot fly The deprecia-
ton in the value of hides from this
cause is estimated at more than half
million dollars on the customary re-
duction of dollar for grubby hide.
Adding to this the loss from the de-
preciated quality of the beef, together
with the lessened quality Of the same
from the inferior condition of affected
animals, the total loss during the sea-
son is estimated at over 100000.
The licked beef which results from the
presence of the MARBLE grub, and which
may be described as a moist or run
ming surface of a greenish yellow color,
frequently presenting frothy or jelly
like appearance, is sufficient to con-
denim it for use in all first-class hotels
and restaurants. Cattlemen will have
to put more care into their methods
of handling the beeves to guard
against this destructive policy.

Much complaint is heard in the big
live stock markets of the country
about the poor quality of the cattle
going on but the consumer with an
analytical turn of mind does not re-
spond to the complaint. When he
goes to market for steak or roast he
finds nothing but the best there, and
ne wonders what becomes of the poor
stuff talked about in the big markets
from whence his steaks and roasts
come. If his meat seller would say
to him: "Here is a roast from a steer
that sold for $3.50 per cwt, that | can
sell you for twenty cents a pound,
and here is one from a 1918 steer
that you can buy for fourteen cents
The same relative difference in price
or meat to steer-then the buyer
would have some respect for the stock
yard complaint. But as it is the con-
sumer regards the complaint as part
OF the great bunco game, for after the
