II In mute recognition of the heav-
emily source of the bits of blessing
which fall to them, and certainly man,
much more richly endowed and
blessed, should do at least as, much,
and express his Thank you'll both
by the testimony of the lips and the
generous actions of the life.
Thanksgiving day is proper and
convenient occasion for considering
both the duty and the grace of graft
tude to the great Giver of all good
But Thanksgiving day is not simpl,
for the abstr~ct discussion of general
ideas present In thought or stirring
the emotions. This day does-or
should-have a direct governing re-
lation to the ministries Of the hand
and the unfolding of the wallet. /.
When it is celebrated in the spirit cs
the scriptural exhortation to thank
fitness, 1t becomes a time OF rejoic-
Ing in the truest, fullest sense, be-
cause 1t joins praise to God with prac-
tical ministry to the poor and unfor-
tunate. Thanksgiving should issue
in thanksgiving. Praise should be-
come practice. Gratitude must be-
come temper and tendency Of the
life. So will God be glorified and
gratified, and men, by their cordial
and constant recognition Of his good
ness, be lifted in the scale Of being
and be the better fitted to receive
from heaven more favors still.-Rev

Don't sell cracked or very small
eggs.
Grit and oyster shells should not be
forgotten.
You can gain two or three cents a
dozen by shipping your own eggs.
A filthy hen house is the best
breeding place for lice and mites.
If you want eggs in winter we must
breed from hens that lay in winter
The idea that water Is necessary to
any one who cares to raise ducks is a
mistake,
In fly season, keep netting over the
egg basket. as fly-specked eggs are not
inviting.
Stale bread thoroughly dried and
rolled into fine crumbs is excellent
chicken food
1t is time for questions about get.
ting fowls to come down out of trees
and roost in houses.
Careless and Indifferent systems OF
feeding are often the cause of poor
milk yields and small profits.
1t is absurd to expect pullets to lay
during the early winter when they
were not Matched until June or July.
Eggs during the hot weather should
be removed from the nests at once
and placed in the coolest spot In the
house
There should be provided plenty OF
fresh clean water to drink. preferably
water from which the chill has been
taken off.
Cabbage heads or mangles make an
acceptable green feed for them to
pick up. also apple and potato parings
are much relished
In summer time all eggs marketed
should be infertile. Such condition
can only exist after the males have
been removed from the flocks.
Many beginners make the mistake
of not specializing in some way-in
eggs. for example. or in pure-bred
stock. There is no reason why the
two should not be combined.

,exhorted to be of good cheer and 20
count up their mercies." Paul's
words are not only hortatory, but
also mandatory. 1t is the duty OF
the Christian, amid all vicissitudes,
to be thankful. A believer is never
justified in forgetting Gods benefits
to him. He is expected to figure out
every now and then the sum of the
divine favors that have been shown
to him, or what might be called the
statistics of salvation. 1t is true that
divine mercies have been innumer
able, and cannot be tabulated with
anything like completeness; yet the

and to render vivid to his mind, by
frequent reflection, SO many of the
'visitations of divine favor as ne can
discern providentially unfolded in
his past life.
There is, then, duty of thanks
giving. Praise Is the expected thing,
gratitude is demanded. God is dis
appointed, and even angered, when
men receive his gifts without return
ing thanks. The Lord is gracious,
but that is no reason why the chill
,dren of men should be ungraciously
thankless. Thanksgiving is part
of the code of duty of Christian, it
is an integral portion of the deca-
logue of moral action. 1t Is not a
kind of extra service, or superfuous
activity added on to the body of duty
