THANKSGIVING DAY.
Cnnnda's Day of Thanks n Month
Earlier than In the United States.

Earlier 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 month or more ear
lier than We do. 1t may be that the
Canadian turkey had become impa-
tient, and sounded a note of warning,
or it may be that the frost on the
punkin" declared itself. But what
ever the reason, their Thanksgiving
day is past. 1t may have been that the
reasons for giving thanks so much ear
lier than we do were pushing them.
selves 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, 1t Is not uninteresting to
the friends of the million of Americans
who have made their home in Canada
during the past few years to know that
they have participated most generous
ly in the cutting of the melon" Prob
ably the western portion of Canada,
comprising the provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, have the
greatest reason of any of the provinces
to express in the most enthusiastic
manner their gratitude. The results
in the line Of production give ample
reason for devout thanksgiving to
all others in so far as the total in
crease in the country's wealth is con-
cerned. There is no question that
Providence was especially generous.
The weather conditions were perfect,
and during the ripening and harvest
ing period, there was nothing to in
terfere. And now it was well it was
So for with a demand for labor that
could not be supplied, there was the
greatest danger, but with suitable
weather the garnerng of the grain
has been successfully accomplished.
There have been low general averages,
but these are accounted for by the fact
that farmers were Indifferent, relying
altogether upon what 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 produce 1870 million bush
els of wheat from seven million acres,
and it will produce a splendid lot Of
oats, yielding anywhere from 80 to 100
bushels per acre. This on land that
has cost but from $40 to SIS per acre
many farmers 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 a message Of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country
The cheerfulness which has abound
ed 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 feel
ing is combined with a spirit of thank
fulness for the privilege of living in
so fruitful a land. The misfortunes
of the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to contem-
plate with satisfaction the comforts of
the present. Thanksgiving should be
a season of unusual enthusiasm"

Value of Coal Ashes.

There is more value in coal ashes
than Is generally realized by the
farmer. For the amelioration OF heavy
clay land they are exceptionally valu-
able This Is particularly so with the
ashes of soft coal, as such usually are
reduced almost to a dust
Coal ashes have fertilizer value.
This opinion, however, Is not held, gen.
