THANKSGIVING.

Thanks for the gladness that en-
twines
Our path below;
Each sunrise that incarnadines
The cold, still snow;
Tanks for the light of love that
shines
With brightest earthly glow.
Thanks for the sickness and the
grief
That none can flee;
For loved ones standing now around
The srystal sea;
And for the WEAKNESS of heart
That only rests in Thee.
Thanks for Thine own thrice-blessed
Word,
And Sabbath rest;
Thanks for the hope of glory stored
In mansions blessed
And for the Spirits comfort poured
Into the trembling breast.
Thanks-more than thanks-to Him
ascend
Who died to win
Our life, and every trophy rend
From death and sin;
Till, when the thanks of earth shall
end,
The thanks of heaven begin.

RESULTS IN DRY FARMING.
Need of Water Not So Great as For.
merly Supposed.

The most remarkable story of sue
cess in dry farming comes from Tex
as. A large ranch, owned by the
Farwell family of Chicago, has been
used as an experiment station. 1t
is located in the semi-arid region
of the Panhandle, where the rainfall
is light. The past season was eX-
ceptionally dry, the moisture pre-
cipitation being less than six inches
from January until after harvest.
The department of agriculture had
experts in the field and planted sew
eral plots to cereals. Wheat gave
returns ranging from 10 to 80
% to 80 bushels and emmer gave o.
bushels to the acre.
Sixteen plots were planted to
wheat at different times during the
fall and spring. One field of 10
acres, planted to winter wheat, gave
returns ranging almost % bushels
per acre. The grain was perfect
and tested 60 pounds to the BUSH
e. Soft wheat gave 16 bushels per
acre, while hard wheat returned as
high as so bushels from the same
sizedtract. Similar results We're
obtained from rye, oats and barley.
The best crop was grown on sum-
mer fallow land, where the moisture
had been conserved. The expert
ments will cause many owners OF
semi-arid lands to try grain for get
ting returns from their investment.
Modern agriculture has changed
many old ideas regarding the need
of water in forcing nature to give an
nual crops, the Spokane Chronicle
believes. Many farmers under
canals have practically killed their
lands by using too much water. This
is true of sections where alkali has
come to the surface and destroyed
the soil fertility. A few years ago
engineers discovered that farmers
in Colorado were putting As inches
of water on their lands every grow
ing season of five months, because
they claimed an inch to the acre for
irrigation. Another expert reported
that in the Sunnyside country the
farmers had used 70 inches of wa
ter for maturing crops.
Cultivation is more important
than irrigation. The soil requires
right handling to conserve moist
ure and give out its fertility to
crops. It IS better to stir the soil
than to pour water on it when veg
citation does not call for moisture ex-
cept that already stored in the earth.
The numerous experiments in dry
farming in Colorado, Texas and other
dry sections, should be object les
sons to those who insist on using
too much water on their lands.
Many crops are spoiled by excessive
moisture, but few ever fail to give
results on account of over-cultiva-
ton. Assist nature in producing the
best crops and the harvest will be
satisfactory and profitable.

Cranberry Sauce.

A good cranberry sauce Is an es-
sential part of Thanksgiving din
ner. 1t is best made BY just cover
ing the berries with water and let
ting them cook slowly to a pulp,
stirring constantly to keep from
burning, and then pouring over them
a syrup made OF one quart OF water,
three pounds OF sugar and the
whipped whites of two or three eggs.
The amount of fruit should determ-
inc the amount of syrup to be made.
Take equal parts OF fruit and sugar.
After pouring the syrup over the
fruit let the mixture come to a boil
and then strain and set away to cool.

PROPER WAY TO FEED ALFALFA
Young Cattle Require Little Grain

Alfalfa feeding to both cattle and
sheep is becoming quite a feature
throughout Colorado and the west.
We have been experimenting in feed
ing steers for II years and have dis
coverd that the locality in which the
alfalfa is grown has a great deal to
do with results. The climate and
soil have much to do with the prop

is cut and the manner in which it is

Sluggish Liver a Foe TO Ambition.

For Thanksgiving
Delicious POTATOES

Be careful in the selection of the
potatoes to be used is the first direc-
ton to be followed. for the appear
ance of these potatoes has much to
do with their success as an adjunct
to the dinner. They should be long,
clean ones, with firm, smooth skins.
Bake them for thirtyfive minutes.
Then neatly break open one end AMI
carefully scoop out the potato with
out breaking the hollow hardened
skin. Butter this shell while it is
hot. Peel tomatoes in number
equal to the potatoes. Chop an
onion finely and cook 1t for two or
three minutes in melted butter. To
the cooked onion add a green pepper
finely chopped Now cook the toma-
toes and onion and pepper all to-
gether for ten or fifteen minutes.
seasoning with butter, salt and pep
per, and stirring we'll. Put the po-
tato pulp through a colander and
then stir it into the hot dressing. Fill
the buttered skins evenly full, and
put them back into the oven to bake
for fifteen minutes. Not many
cooks could spend as much time on
the humble potato every day in the
year as all this would require, but
for a special occasion it would be
we'll to let the potato see what it
could do.

Will We Have Free Delivery

The question of free delivery

city council to bear this fact in

A New Hotel Assured.

ne people OF this city are to
have a hotel which will be credit
to the community. It is to be
built Of the best material, and to
have all the modern conveniences.
In every respect it will equal the
first class hotels Of the state. sss
Public spirited citizens have
donated a site valued conservatives
" at ten thousand dollars. Anoth-
or public spirited citizen has offer
ed to loan twenty thousand dol
lars, providing that the building
put up will cost not less than City
Thousand dollars. This condition
assures fine building.
The site offered is the corner
facing the depot, where the lumb-
5er yard is now located. This is
without doubt the finest location
for a hotel il this city.
In considering this proposition,
lit must be borne in mind what
a transformation is to take place
within the next few months IN that
portion Of the city. The old depot
will be taken away. The new
seventy FIVE thousand dollar depot
will take its place. The old round
house will also be removed and
much Of the old track will BE
transferred to the new trackage
field to the north and west. The
view will be uninterrupted, look
ing towards the lake, and the six
mile run to beautiful Chautauqua
will be easily traceable from the
balconies Of the hotel.
The hotel will be at the depot.
This fact will be heralded by the
travelling public as q boon. It

The Weather Bureau.

The Weather Bureau, which
has been established in this city.
since December 1904, is one Of.
the most interesting places ii,
this part Of the state. The other
day we called upon Mr.. 3. J.
Glass who lis in charge of the
station, and was courteously en-
tertained by him for an hour.
Mr.. Glass has been in the service
for twenty four years, and is
familiar with the system which
gives us our daily forecasts.
This station is one Of over one
hundred and sixty established by,
the United States government.
He makes his report daily, SIM
ultaneo with every other
station in the country, allowances
being made for differences in
time. These reports enable the
Weather Bureau at Washington
to at once issue its forecasts and
draft its weather maps.
AS a local institution the sta
ton at this city is of value. Mr.
Glass sends by mail fifty one
copies OF the report, or as many
as can be sent by mail and reach
their destination during the day
of issue. ii a
In the opinion Of Mr.. Glass the
entage of forecasts are stead
lily improving. The Weather
Bureau is able to predict changes
in the weather for a longer period
of time than it could twenty
years ago. The study Of the
data over the years gives a know
ledge of the influences which.
produced the weather, and in as
much as the same laws are at
work giving us cold and heat,
clouds and sunshine, a knowledge
of that which is past enables as
to fortell with some degree Of
certainty the future.

whether or not the climate was

change, if any, was in the humid
