What did our Puritan ancestors dine on at
their first Thanksgiving feast? Surely they
did not set the standard which is being fol-
lowed today on the Thanksgiving dinner
menus.
We know that some things were lacking that
they must have greatly missed There could
have been no butter cream, milk. cheese. or
any dish that Is principally made with milk.
because there were no cows In New England
until 1923, when John Winthrop later their
worshpful governor. brought over four cows
from England. The butter and cheese that
they took with them on the Mayfower were
long since consumed. hardly think they had
chicken pie for the feast for the fowls we're
served as a rare delicacy for the sick. They
could have had eggs for their pies and pud-
dings Since they raised pumpkins they might

greatly increased In number or variety Your
nearly diner demands on Thanksgiving the es-
sentials such as turkey and celery and Gran
berry sauce and pumpkin pie, which were the
stand-bys Of the feast in the days of his father
and his grandfather before him The point is
that some of the eatables are unquestionably
more favory than were their counterparts of
several decades ago. and-with all due respect
to the kind that mother used to make--some
of the modern recipes seem to put It all over
the old-timers in garnishes and the prepare
ton of buildings and pastry etc.
And speaking Of the changes that have
come about, take the case of the toothsome
turkey, headliner of the whole holiday menu.
1t would be futile to try to convince the high
liver of the twentieth century who revels In
his milkfed or chestnut-fed turkey from Rhode
Island or the middle west that his forefathers
ever enjoyed anything SO delicious. Certainly
turkeys have increased in size too, judging
by the average weight those that find their
way to market. However. this latter develop
Aoent is clearly traceable to the tendency of
turkey raisers to devote themselves almost
exclusively to the Bronze. the largest Of the
six standard varieties of turkeys.
However, there are two sides to this turkey
story, and the housewives who preside over
small families are the ones who have had
brought home to them the advantageous
side Of this boom in the size of turkeys. With
the big bronze birds weighing from 16 to 36
pounds apiece-and usually nearer the latter
than the former hgure-crowding the market
It is becoming every year more difficult for

And that turkeys growing smaller

And see Jacks face! 'Tis shining

When they hear my hungry cries.

WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT Ex.
Hl6fT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

A carload Of grain in straw, grasses
and otheo Of the products Of Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now installed in the
Coliseum, where the United States
land and irrigation exposition Is under
way. Those who are interested in
the Back to the land movement" will
find in the Canadian exhibit one Of
the best displays of the agricultural
products of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-
sentative men there. who will be
pleased to give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands of that
cVntry and most of the grain was
produced on the farms of former resi-
dents of the United States who have
taken advantage Of the homestead
lands of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit will attract
. great deal Of attention, and some
marvellous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
cabbage and cauliiower are shown.
II is true that the homestead area
Is being rapidly taken up and the
bulk Of that now to be had lies north
Of the Saskatchewan river in q por-
ton Of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is large guam
tity Of open prairie interspersed by
beautiful groves of poplar and willow.
Water is in abundance, hay Is plenti-
full and consequently fodder for ami
mails is right at hand. Those who
have taken advantage of farming in
these districts and watched the efforts
Of those in the prairie proper feel
that they have the advantage Of their
brother, who is not able to secure fuel
and the other conveniences Of the
park district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good, and some won
derful crop yields of wheat. oats and
barley are recorded. The Canadian
Government, under whose auspices
the exhibit spoken Of is being made,
Is preparing reports on crops In the
different Western Canada districts,
and while these win not be ready for
