general observances of days OF thanks
giving In this country. The congress
of 1777, the one which prepared the
articles of confederation for adoption
by the colonies. adopted a resolution
setting apart the eighteenth day of
December, 1777. to be observed as a
day Of solemn Thanksgiving and
praise throughout the United States.
Washington, during his administra-
ton, issued two thanksgiving procla'
nations, one in 1889 and the other in
1895, Just after the suppression OF

land President Madison Issued one

ISIS. However, in the early years
of the nation the rule was for the CO.

proclamation made emanated from
the governors. The western states,
largely people from New England or
New York, early followed the lead OF
these portions OF the country. AS we
have seen, the annual recommends

missed from the name, most of these tracts are
located adjacent to rivers or lakes or ponds,
so that they can be flooded in the late au-
tumn and kept under water until spring. The
berries grow on vine which nestles close
to the ground in perfect tangle, and save for
keeping out the weeds and battling with the
insect pests, which are numerous, the cranber-
ries do not require very much cultivation or
attention until harvest time approaches in the
autumn. Then the cranberry grower must look
forward to period Of anxiety, careful, SER
ious scrutiny Of the weather. He must
keep close watch on the weather for If frost
comes ere the crop is harvested 1t will work
sad havoc unless the grower has been fore
warned and flooded his bog or built great bon
fires to keep up the temperature.

Netherlands also appointed different
dates for public Thanksgiving, from
time to time, and in some historical
works there is record of dispute as
to which OF these colonies deserved
the credit for having first inaugurated
the day. Most of the best founded
historians, however, give the credit to
the New England states.
The Dutch governors of New Meth
erlands appointed occasional days OF
thanksgiving In 1874, 1645, 1855 and
1864. and the English governors fol-
lowed their example in 1855 and 1850,
and the Protestant Episcopal church
in the United States in its prayer
book, ratified In 1889, recommends for
Thanksgiving day the first Thursday
In November, unless some other day
be appointed by the civil authorities.
There we're also occasional recommen-
dations by other religious bodies, but
no regular annual recommendation by
the governor OF New York before 1877.

The pious, hard-driven, worn-out, but
thankful Puritans who sat down at
their tables one November, few cen
turtles ago, and made the first Thanks
giving Day, never knew to what
lengths they were to drive the in
genuity of their poor descendants.
But it wasn't their fault after all, that
the preparer of the Thanksgiving feast
today has to attend just as much to
the turkeys surroundings as to the
turkey itself 1t was good enough for
them to have well-stocked larder
from which could come the turkey, the
celery, the pumpkin pie. the cranber-
ries and all the other goodies which
history puts down to their credit.
Even the comparatively recent New
Englanders were content with all
these as long as they looked tempting
and tasted good. But today, even the
important fowl itself is hardly more
important than the ribbons, the can
dies, the favors, the adornments OF
all kinds, which must appear on the
Thanksgiving table.

much to eat" an up-to-date daughter

years, however has witnessed a revolution.
Now almost all cranberries are picked by the
aid of machines, and because 1t is tiresome
work manipulating these machines 1t has come
about that most of the women and children
have been forced out of the industry and the
task is largely In the hands of men, the more
skillful of whom receive from SO to SIS per day.
The picking machine most extensively used
has the appearance Of huge wooden scoop,
the bottom of which is made up of row of
metal bars. tipped with sharp prongs and set
close together. In operation this SCOOP is
showed with some considerable force into the
tangle of cranberry vines and then is drawn up

vines which have been caught slip between the
metal bars but leave the berries which are too
large to pass through the openings, as do the
vines. and In consequence are stripped from
