if you had looked into the matter
thoroughly you would concur IN the
statement that the greatest aid to
the livestock raisers and shippers is
the establishment and maintenance
of such market places afforded only
by stockyards such as ours. About
a billion and half of dollars is paid
out annually in the United States
for livestock offered for sale by COM
mission firms on regularly establish
ed stockyards 1t is the business OF
the stockyards company to attract
buyers and sellers to place OF BUS
mess which gives the best facilities
possible for the conduct of the same.
Stockyards companies are a guaranty
to the shipper and to the buyer that
no trickery or unfair methods will be
practiced in the buying and selling
of livestock while such livestock is
in the care of the stockyards COM
pany Livestock is unloaded and
loaded, is fed and watered and the
scales installed and maintained by
stockyards companies are the last
word in the matter of weights.
Stockyards companies are not di-
rectiy interested and are not pecu-
n:aTlly benefited in or by the matter

THE PROPHETS VISION.


Now we are coming nigh to the
years close. We can see the great
festival OF Christmas which crowns II,
only a few weeks ahead, and the great
Puritan festival Of Thanksgiving is
already upon US. Did old Governor
Bradford, when, at the end of the
first hard year Of the Pilgrims com
ing 70 this continent, he counted up
half their number slain by disease
and hardship, and yet on the other
hand counted up their blessings Of
to the colony, and hope
for future-did he strike the balance
right when he then ordered not day
Of fasting. but a day of Thanksgiy-
ing? did he have a snapshots vision,
to see beyond those inhospitable for
ests, those prowling savages, that
ron-bound coast? Had he the vision
Of the coming today. when, instead
Of the weak few, should be the strong
nation Of eighty millions? Whether
his prophets vision was his or not,
certain Il is that he builded well when
o all succeeding generations he gave
he example Of the great American
amiIy feast-day OF Thanksgiving.

For the kindly fruits Of the earth

ated people OF the old world, and lift
Ing them up we hope TO its emulation.
For the spirit Of progress. for the
