'"The benefcent hand of an all wise
Providence has again brought us to
that season in which, according to
American custom, a day is proclaimed
and set apart as a day of prayer and
praise.
Throughout various sections of the
country, the year that is dying has
been one of unusual drouth and por-
tons of our state have been numbered
among the sufferers. Be it as is may,
the causes of our Thanksgiving are
still manifold.
"The temporary cloud of depression
resultant of the adverse weather con-
ditions Of the past season, is passing
and through its shadow appears, endim-
med and unfailing, the crystal line
star of a constant hope. We yet con-
tinue to enjoy in full measure those
rights and privileges. the way for the
attainment of which was paved in the
long ago by the pilgrim fathers, who
inaugurated our national Thanksgiving
custom, and for this our hearts may
we'll be truly grateful.
1T is evident that intellectually and
morally our citizenship has made
marked advancement and although pro-
gress may be slow, it is, nevertheless,
sure, and little by little, the vital facts
of true living are being better recog-
nized by our states people.
Therefore, |, r. S. Vessey, COVER
nor of the State of South Dakota, in
conjunction with the proclamation of
the president of the United States,
hereby appoint as Thanksgiving day,
Thursday, November 80, A. d., 1911,
and recommend the day to the entire
citizenship of the state as one of rest
from the usual occupations and pur-
suits, to be dedicated by South Dakotas
people to Thanksgiving and devout
prayer to Almighty God, in becoming
appreciation of His mercies, and the
blessings of peace and progress
received from His hand throughout the
year. For the contribute ons of the
earth to u needs, for the temperance
cheerfulness and content of our homes,
for the maintenance of public health,
for all these and other blessings, let us
return thanks to Him, praying that
out of his infinite mercy and goodness
He may continue to lead us on our
way"

Chopped Wheat For Stock.

Chopped wheat may be safely fed
to horses, cows, pigs, shotes and hogs
If the price viii admit of its being
used for these purposes, says the
Rural New Yorker. There is, how
ever, a right and a wrong way to feed
wheat to the animals named. For
horses the wheat should not constitute
more than one-half of the grain ration,
the other half being either whole or
ground oats and cracked corn, the
proportions varying with the condi-
ton of the horses and character Of
their work. For milk cows chopped
wheat may also constitute about one
half of the grain ration, the other
half being composed Of bulky feeds,
like dried brewers or distillers' grains
mixed with a small portion of cotton
seed meal or gluten feed, the amount
depending upon the quantity Of milk
the cows are giving and the kind and
quality Of roughage fed.

very acceptable feeds If the cow has
no pasture. In connection with the
~succulent feed the COW should have a
liberal allowance of clover or alfalfa
hay or some other roughage rich In
protein.
A COW at this time should not be fed
more roughage than she will eat up
clean. If fed too literally there Is
danger of her getting into the habit of
eating the most palatable parts Of the
roughage and wasting much good feed.
A COW on pasture needs 40 grain, but
a little roughage would be very accept
able. OF course if the animal is thin
in flesh it is well to feed some grain.
The amount must depend entirely upon
the condition Of the cow.
If a COW has been properly fed there
will be no necessity for giving any
medicine after calving. A bran mash
over which some warm water has
been poured is a very acceptable feed,
especially in cold weather. Ground
oats mixed with grain and a pail Of
warm water can be given, for it will

much better to be given warm than
cold. She should not be exposed to
cold drafts Of air.
At the beginning Of her milking peri
cd the cow should be fed very lightly
Of grain, but a liberal allowance OF
good silage, roots and hay. AS she
gains strength and resumes her nor
NAL condition the grain portion Of her
ration may be increased. The increase
may be kept up as long as the animal
responds to the extra feed. When
she has reached her maximum flow Of
milk she should be fed a little less
grain.
The dairy COW should be fed liber-
ally, but care should be taken not to
overfeed her and carry her beyond
her capacity. This works injury not
only to her milk function, but to her
breeding powers.

Burke To Be Renominated

Charles II. Burke, the present mem.
Der of congress from Pierre, has
resolved to succe 4 himself and is ask.
ing the nominal. . in the second dis,
trict.
Burke will win!
! have no doubt whatever of this
fact. | rave never supported Mr..
Burke for congress and have not been
altogether in sympathy with the posi-
tons that he has taken on public ques-
tons, but there are some things that
he is entitled to have credit for and /
have felt so much unjust criticism
myself in South Dakota that | am
resolved to give every mar full credit
for what he does.
Charles H. Burke has many splendid
traits and qualities. Perhaps the most
important of these is the element of
being absolutely square with the people
and everybody else as to his position on
any question that comes up. He does
not side-step, o does he try to carry
water on both shoulders. He is what
is called 'The Old-line Republican,"
believing firmly in republican organiza-
ton and having little use for so-called
progressives and he does not hesitate
to tell them 80. Mr.. Burke's constitu-
ents and everybody else know where he
stands on al questions and in this he
differs from some of his associates in
office from South Dakota.
Another thing in Burke's favor is
that he has sense enough to know that,
as a memoer of congress from South
Dakota, he is simply a hired man of
the citizens of this state and is always
ready, anxious and willing to serve his
constituents in any way in his power.
Let me state a practical illustration:
Into my offices come a great many old
soldiers for consultation and social visits
due, largely to the fact that | am a
son Of a veteran, and very much inter-
ested in the welfare of the heroes of
the Civil war One of these of whom
speak, being very much crippled up,
complained Of the amount of pension
that The government was giving him

up with the authorities at Washington.

increased. ] did so and Charles H.
Burke was the only one | could get in
touch with, who seemed to take n
interest in the welfare of my friend.
Mr.. Burke busted himself faithfully
and conscientiously. He would tell me
when would hear from him and what
ne would do and things would be done
Just exactly as he suggested. Faith
fulness, speed and diligence marked
his conduct when ! appealed to him in
the name Of one in need ana while this
may seem like a small matter to some,

ciated it, and because of his promptness
and interest in the welfare of this old
soldier, ! was then and am now willing
70 look over a good many things in Mr..
Burke's political creed and give him
the benefit Of the doubt. I hold no
brief for Mr.. Burke, nor am / making
any arguments In his behalf. I am

qualities and my candid opinion Is that

Fairy Tales

You never hear good stories now,
The dear, old fashioned kind;
These modern tales don't seem, somehow
To satisfy the mind.
/ wish some one would tell a few
Like those we loved of old;
The ones we used to think were true
The stories mother told!
When / was just a little chap,
AS soon as it was night
ia climb up into mothers lap
And she would hold me tight.
And tell of fairies, giants and
OF warriors brave and bold
And meier have tales seemed half so
grand
AS those that mother toldl
Tale after tale she'd tell-ard then,
When she would say she'd dons,
I'd always make her start again
And tell another one;
Until, at last, all tired out,
My eyes would lose their hold
On wakefulness-I'd dream about
The tales that mother told.
Then. by and by, there d come a knock
And she'd let father in,
And, as she pointed at the clock,
He'd grin a sickly grin;
His business kept him late, he swore,
And he'd explain and scold
Till mothers tales looked pale before
The stories father told.
