THANKSGIVING.

To-day the nation checks its steeds before the
affairs of almighty God, and gives thanks to Him
for the mercies of the year. The fields, the hills,
the factories the cities, the railroads tying them
together with cords of steel, the greyhounds
leaping on their errands to the ends of the seas,
have all been prospered of almighty Cod On the
whole, we have never had, people, so prosper
GUS a year. The nation may we'll be grateful for
its material properties.
at is good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, -
said the psalmst of old. And the words are as
true to-day as when they were written. 1t is good
thing very good thing, for the nation as for the
individual, to recognize and acknowledge the favor
of Cod and by the specific setting apart of one day
in the year for the purpose, to render grateful
homage to the benfcent providence OF Him who
crowneth the year with His goodness.
But God has prospered the nation in its moral
opportunities Where has any people been so
blessed. Measuring the magnitude OF our new
tasks by their difficulties, we will temper our re-
joicing with humility and prayer for guidance, but
We will still be thankful for the tasks which almighty
God has seen fit to lay at our feet.
We have enough to fear-luxury, wealth. ma
terialism, greed, alcoholism-but with these is a
rising sense of public duty, realization of respon-
SOlllCy In the use Oh our Wedltu "4llCH
cause hope and faith to rise triumphant over pes
simism and public dispair. The nation will rise to
its problems 1t has, 1t will. 1t will bend to their
solution with brows knitted with undaunted resolu-
tion For this reason we do not fear for the future
of 'affairs of state" The nation is an apt learner
in the school of experience.
Thanksgiving Day will come to the cottage as
we'll as the mansion; to the grateful poor, rich in
love- in unbroken firesdes and in moral character
70 the sick and bereaved remembering that there is
better country where such things will never come
10 the reformer, remembering that God slumbers
not to all who will consider what the presence Of
God in history means. Thanksgiving is not day
for the Pharsee. Thanksgiving is not day fol
sehshness. Go forth, thou reader, and make some
other glad. Thanksgiving is day to show graft
tude-for the giving of thanks without the life o.
thanks is but dead works. There is on earth ne
such beautiful sight as the simple, the thoughtful
the consistent, thankful life. A happy Thanksgiv'
ing to all.

POCKET GOPHERs.

They Are Found In Widely Separate
ed Parts OF the Country.
By d e. LANTZ. Kansas experiment
station.
In some families Of rodents cheek
pouches when present have the open
ing inside the mouth. In the geomyidac
the pouches are present, are fur lined
and open outside the mouth. The fam
fly and the type genus derive their
name from their mode of life, which is
entirely in the earth. Nine genera Of
pocket gophers are known, oil Of them
confined to North America. Only three
of the genera enter the United States.
OF the United States genera one is
found in the great plateau region from
central Mexico and Lower California

POCKET GOPHER,

northward into British America, anoth-
er from east central Mexico northward
through New Mexico, western Texas,
western Oklahoma, into Colorado, while
q third Is restricted to two large and
widely separated districts in the Unit
ed States. One of these districts in
cludes portions of Alabama, Georgia
and Florida, while the other includes
much Of the great low plain of the Mis-
sissippi valley and extends from the
Rio Grande northward to southern Min
nesota and Wisconsin and from eastern
Illinois westward into Colorado and
eastern Wyoming.
The pocket gophers all have the ex-
ternal pouches, strong lower jaws, fore
feet strongly developed for digging and
very small eyes and ears.
The prairie pocket gopher Is abun-
dant in the eastern part Of the state
and is the most formidable mammalian
pest with which Kansas farmers have
to deal. Its damage to the alfalfa
growers of the state alone amounts to
more than $4,000 yearly. This dam
age is not directly in the destruction of
the alfalfa plant 80 much as it is in the
interference with the work Of cutting
the crop and the loss by reason of hav-
ing to cut the plant far above the
ground to avoid running into the
mounds thrown up by the gophers.
This loss amounts to about one-tenth
Of the entire crop. Besides the damage
to alfalfa, there Is similar one to clio
yer, timothy and native meadows and
the direct destruction of vegetable gar
dens and other crops. This species does
similar damage to crops in Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dako-
tas, Nebraska and Missouri, section
Of the most fertile land in the entire
country.
The prairie gopher is Of dark liver
color, lighter on the under part, and
has pure white feet, with longer claws
than any other species. !:
Pocket gophers are easily poisoned.
They are very fond Of common pota-
toes, sweet potatoes, apples, raisins
and prunes. The presence of strych-
nine, arsenic or other poisons does not
seem to deter them from eating the
food, but II the poison is sweetened
they seem to eat it more readily. In
summer it may be desirable to take
the trouble to sweeten the poison, but
in the fall and early spring 1t does
not seem worth while to do this.
A tool devised for the purpose Of in
Producing the poisoned food into the
burrow Is spade handle shod with
