The following is going the
rounds of the press and as it fits
in so well just about Thanksgiv-
ing and seems to hit all editors
about where they live" we give
it space: ''How dear to my
heart is the old yellow pumpkin,
when orchards are barren of
stuffing for pies; when peaches
and apples have been a failure,
and berries no longer dazzle my
eyes. How fondly l turn to the
fruit of the cornfield-the fruit
the country kids are taught to
despise-the old yellow pumpkin,
the Undiscovered pumkin, the
pot-bellied pumpkin that makes
such good pies"

CLIPPING A HORSES LEGS.
Lower Part Of Limbs Should Be Lea
Untouched, Says Gilbert.

Lower Part of Limbs Should Be Lea
+ Untouched, Says Gilbert.
The question is very often mooted as
to whether or not it is advisable to
clip a horses legs. Speaking in Il
general way, 1t may be stated without
any hesitation that it is certainly best
not to clip the limbs, or, at any rate,
the lower part of them, when a horse
Is having his coat shortened, for the
very good reason that the long hair
affords a certain amount of protection
against the effects of wet and dirt
to the legs. The unclipped hair in no
wise interferes with the comfort of the
animal, nor is it in any way an in
cumbrance. On the other hand, the
clipping of the legs involves the draw
back that they are deprived of, the
protection against wet and dirt, as
stated above. None the less the legs
of horses are very commonly clipped
along with the body for the reason
that it adds greatly to the smart ap,
pearance of the animal.
The fact that it improves the ap
pearance of horse and looks smart
Is the sole reason that can be advanced
in favor of the practice of clipping a
horses limbs, and unless appearances
are really of great Importance, and this
can only be so in the case of pleasure
horses, 1t Is decidedly advisable to re
frain from doing So The legs, along
with the head, are the worst and mos
difficult parts to clip in horse, and
1t takes long time to do them, and 8
great many horses which are other
wise quiet and docile enough object tt
their legs being clipped and give lot
Of trouble when this is being done
For this reason alone, If for no other
1t Is best to leave the legs untouched.
When a horse is specially predisposed
to suffer from cracked heels or from
mud fever, the animal ought not tt
have its legs clipped on any considera
ton whatsoever, as to do so will great
~ increase the risk of its contracting
these complaints. In all cases where
a horses legs are clipped the hair in
the hollow of the heel should not be
cut with the clippers, but it should
merely be trimmed slightly with a pail
Of stable scissors, only sufficient being
cut away to make the heels look smart
so as to be in keeping with the rest
of the leg.-W. r. Gilbert.

Before the CHRONICLE reaches
its readers again another Thanks
giving Day will have come and
gone. In looking over the past
years events many of our citi-
zens, especially those who suffer-
ed severely in the disasterous fire
last July, may think they have
little to be thankful for but we
believe all have much to give
thanks for when we stop to con-
slider. While our fire loss was
heavy, we can yet give thanks
that our town is being rebuilt in
such a substantial manner. We
cansbe thankful that the railroad
is at last numbered among our
assets. We can be thankful that
BILL" is elected, and, according
to republican papers, four more
years of prosperity stare US in
the face. We can give thanks
for our crops being so bountiful,
prices so high and trade condi-
tons so good. We can be thank
full that we are residents of Cot.
tonwood-the best and biggest
little city in the Northwest-the
trade center for the richest farm.
ing country on Gods footstool.
These are a few of the things
we can feel thankful for, besides
many smaller ones. Don't for
get them when you fill up or
turkey next Thursday.

SELLING LIVE STOCK.
Some Points For Farmers on AdVer-
Using Products of the Farm.

Some Points For Farmers on Adver-
Using Products of the Farm.
On the point of advertising the prod
ucts of the farm Professor Humphrey
of the Wisconsin Agricultural college
advised farmers in a recent institute
as follows:
Advertising combined with intelli-
gence and enterprise will do more to
elevate the farmer and give deserved
prominence to his occupation than any
other factor. In fact, many advan-
tages are enjoyed at the present time
by our most progressive farmers, who
may be recognized by the advertising
which they do in one way or another.
'"The great majority OF farmers have
not awakened to the necessity of ap-
plying anything more to their occupa-
ton than hard manual labor, which, to
be sure, Is necessary and indispensa-
BILE, but which alone classes the farm
er with the man who works ten hours
daily with shovel and pick and earns
81 or 50 day. Successful agricultural
advertising practiced by intelligent and
enterprising farmers will overcome
prejudice and elevate the occupation
of farming to plane where men can
enjoy their labor and the same lux
uries enjoyed by business men of other
occupations and professions.
"The first step in agricultural adver-
Using is to make the farm a respecta-
Bile place of business and one which
win incite patronage. The farm should
be christened with a suitable name
and its stock and produce marketed
under the name Of the farm as well
as the name of the proprietor. The
stock and produce should have a spe-
cific trademark to distinguish 1t In
name as well as in quality and to in
duce buyers to become permanent Gus
toners" =

Every day we hear expressions
from the travelling public about
the energy and enterprise being
shown by Cottonwood citizens
and transients say Cottonwood is
the best town to stop in this side
of Lewiston. That's the kind of
talk we like to hear as it adver-
ties the town abroad in the best
possible manner.

Francis ]. Heney, the great
criminal prosecutor, was shot in
the court room at San Francisco
last Friday by Morris Haas, an
ex-convict. Heney's wound will
not prove fatal and on learning
that his attempt at murder would
not prove successful Haas COM
mitted suicide in his cell. He
probably thought death would be
preferable to, having Heney
camping on his trail after the
latter left the hospital.
