One OF the principal costs in beet
cultivation is the hoeing and thinning
of sugar heets. Numerous ideas have

matte combination, a plan and front
view of which is shown in the draw

The first appliance constructed was
for hoeing and thinning, but later
there were many other combinations
for which it was found to be suited.
The main idea works very much on
the same principle as several types OF

There are flexible pipes connecting
with the reservoir, and through these

THANKSGIVING DAY
Canada's Day Of Thanks a Month Ear.
Iier Than in the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a monthior more earlier
than we do. 1t may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded a note of warning, or it may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
clared itself. But whatever the reason,
their Thanksgiving day is past. 1t may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves so hard and
so fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event. They
have had reasons, and good ones, too,
for giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded In
abundance, and here. by the way, it Is
not uninteresting to the friends of
the millions Of Americans who have
made their home in Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
participated most generously in the
cutting of the melon" Probably the
western portion of Canada, comprising
the provinces Of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, have the greatest
reason Of any Of the provinces to ex-
press in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results in the
line OF production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
This year has surpassed all others in
so far as the total increase in the coun-
try's wealth is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous. The weather condi-
tions were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now 1t
was we'll 1t was so, for with a demand
for labor that could not be supplied,
there was the greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering of
the grain has been successfully accom-
piished. There have been low gey
eral averages, but these are accor I.
ed for by the fact that farmers ,ere
Indifferent. relying altogethe' upon
what a good soil would do There
will be no more low averages though,
for this year has shown what good
careful farming will do 1t will pro-
duce 130 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres, and 1t will pro-
duce q splendid lot of oats, yielding
anywhere from SO to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
from $40 to SIS per acre-many farm
ers have realized sufficient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost of
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
The whole population of the West
rejoices in the bounty of Providence,
and sends out message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has aboundGd
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
ton of the source from which the
blessings have flown, and the good
feeling is combined with a spirit of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
in so fruitful land The misfortunes
OF the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts of the present. Thanksgiving

MIME. JEANNE JoMELLI.

One of the truly artistic events of the winter will be the concert given Wednes- day evening by the Treble Clef club with Mime. Jeanne Jomelli as soloist The club has arranged delightful programme and Mme. Jomeln will be a treat, indeed. Among the many complimentary notices given her recently by the critics was the following:
 Signal as have been Mime. Jomelli's success in opera, she has also been ac- claimed for years a most satisfactory con- cert artist. It is well-known fact that many of the great opera stars when in concert and deprived of the support of orchestra, scenery and other stage para phernalia, lose much of their interest, and many are caused to wonder how they ever really happened. The reason is plain. Many of them are gifted with only extra ordinary voices and are taken in hand by a coach, who takes them in hand and drills them to point where they become an integral part of the operatio machine, and the impersonal atmosphere of the opera shows little of the lack of person. ality or true artistic worth of the sing CT. In concert 1t is different One is absolutely face to face with the singer, and all the peculiarities of the singer are presented in plain view, stripped of every disguise. Even the almost abso- lute illiteracy of many of them Is plain ly written on their faces. and the audi ence is disappointed, or rather the think ing element. The great mass, acting on the hypothesis ot great, or greatly padded, reputation, believe that it is en- toying the concert. But this condition doesu't last and in time the artist re- turns to opera, an acknowledged failure in concert. In the case of Mime. Jomelii.
