the meat Of a bullock over two or
three years old, and the commoner
parts r sent to the cities to make
bologna out of. Then in the country
towns everybody used to keep chick
ems and have his own eggs and raise
a few vegetables. Today you chm
drive through Il dozen country towns
in succession, and, while you may find
that half a dozen houses have flowers
in their front yards, there won't be
any that has a vegetable garden or a
chicken coop. Men who are working
by the day are raising nothing. Every
body wants to be a millionaire and is
doing only a special kind Of work. He
won't keep chickens or a pig. Why.
In Canton, China, where half a million
people live on boats, you will find a
family on a craft from twenty to thir.
ty feet long, while on one end Of the
boat Is a neat coop with chickens and
ducks In 1t, a little pen in which is a
pig and a little box with earth in it,
In which they r raising lettuce or
some other vegetable. You will see
the same thing on the boats Of the co.
600 Hollanders who live afoat.
II have a farm out In Ohio. You
have to kill pigs when they are mere
shotes and weigh only $50 pounds.
Formerly you, used to be able to let
them grow to 400 pounds, but now the
meat is not considered quite as good.
Then you have got to kill a beef at
two years old instead Of waiting until
It weighs 1900 pounds.
"But to get back to my trip. From
Calcutta I went to Burma. It Is a
wonderfully interesting country. Ev-
erybody connected with the teak
wood industry seems to have made a
fortune out of it. The rice they raise
there is Of so fine a quality that they
export it and import a cheaper quality
from India to live on. The country is
being developed by the Americans and
the Eugltsb. I next went to Singa-
pore. and then l went to Java. and
next !. went to Manila.
Lover Of Fighting Cocks.
"From what l saw of the islands I
believe that the Philippines will prove
as valuable an acquisition as Alaska.
I went to live in a PEASANTS mud
house, as I like to study economic
problems. l found that the assets Of
a laborer in the Philippines usually
amount to between $25 and $50. OF
this sun $3.50 to 81 represents the
value Of the pots and kettles and mats
in the house. The rest is represented
by a fighting cock. There is not a
native man in the Philippines, SO far
as I could see, who does not own such
a fowl. He messages him, carries him
about under his arm and fairly wor-
ships him. l visited Hongkong and
Canton and then Japan. There can be
no question as to the character Of the
feeling Of the Japanese toward Ameri-
cans when the little children are so en-
thusiastic over every American they
see. OF curse 1 stopped at Honolulu.
Fifty years from nov that will be the
greatest bathing place in the world.
There + said to be no fewer than
40 m%illionaires living in palaces there
today.
"After l reached San Francisco I
took my first look at southern Califor-
MIA and was amazed at the country.
Then I came along by the southern
route by way of Texas and Louisiana"

Stories Less Than a Cent Apiece.

In the fifty-two issues of years vol
ume The Youths Companion prints
fully two hundred and fifty stories.
The subscription price of the paper is
but SITS, SO that the stories cost less
than cent apiece, without reckoning
in all the rest of the contents-anec-
dotes, humorous sketches, the Doctors
weekly article, papers on popular topics
by famous men and women.
Although the two hundred and fifty
stories cost so little, they are not cheap
stories. In variety of scene, diversity
of incident, skill and truth in character
depicting, they cannot be excelled.
The announcement for 1911, beauti-
fully illustrated, giving more detailed
particulars of these stories and other
new features which greatly enlarge
the paper, will be sent to any address
free with sample copies of current
issues.
Every new subscriber receives free

CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING.

Now that sort of birdseye view
of the seasons crop operations can be
had it is clear that the effects of the
widely extended midsummer drought
were not so serious as anticipated.
While the yield Of small grains was
materially reduced in some sections,
not in a couple of decades has grain
quality been better than that harvest
ed in the season just closed. while In
many sections the yield also was all
that could be desired. The great sta
pie, corn, Is up to record levels In the
matter of yield. while an unusually
long ripening season will insure an ex-
cellent quality. If seed corn In abun-
dance and of excellent terminating
powers is not on hand next spring 1t
will not be chargeabie to the weather
or Providence. but to carelessness In
storing in a damp place. Instead Of po-
tatoes going to the two dollar mark. as
seemed likely the first week of August.
when they were $1.40. the late rains
came just in time. and hundreds
of fields from which little return was
expected yielded bountiful crops. and
prices for the producers are now hang
ing around so cents. Whatever earlier
promise Of field and garden may have
been, there will be the usual real
grounds for rejoicing at Thanksgiving
time, while in a vast majority of
households there will be the conven-
tiOnal trimmings of turkey. or fit sub
stitate, and plum pudding and cram
berry sauce. AS the day is celebrated
1t should prove a reminder of the
blessing Of living in a land Of prOdi.

ditions and an economic order which
makes it possible for the labOrer as q

Road overseer Election.

On next Monday another cleo
ton viii be held here for the
purpose of electing a road over
seer for this district and all who
are interested in good roads
should assist in selecting COM
petent man for the position. A.
H. Haskin is being prominently
mentioned for the position and we
believe would make a first class
man for the place. He has had
plenty of experience in road
building in his time and would
be able to put the work and
money expended where it would
do the most good.
