Thanksgiving day on the farm is II
day of festivity and jOlliiicatiOn. 1t is
Il genuine product Of enjoyment, de
pendent sometimes largely upon condi-
tions OF the weather and upon the nat
ural facilities provided for enjoyment.
and il Is entirely uuadulterated with
the more modern and perhaps super
fiCiaI cat least from ruralite's view
point cOntrivanCeS for entertainment
which the city affords. If nation
can be Judged by the manner in which
its national holidays are observed the
character Of the people who inhabit the
country ana the city can be determined
by the application of the same rule.
Probably the majority of the men
FOLKS on the farm turn their thoughts
to hunting on Thanksgiving day. The
instinct to go out on Thanksgiving
morning and shoot Il turkey for the
holiday feast is still quite strong in the
average ruraite. although the birds
have become few i'm number. There
are comparatively few places now in
the United States where u hunt 70

feast have gone by. and even on the
farm some thought is given to the
market price Of the fine young gObbler
before it is decided to serve him MP
for the holiday dinner instead Of ship
ping him to the city market.
But the larder of the prO"ident farm
family is generally well filled. and per
hapS less thought is directed to the
Thanksgiving dinner us to the manner
of sport and enjoyment that can be
obtained out of the day. Fowls of
some kind are always to be found in
abundance about the barnyard, and
the preparations for the dinner re-
quire but little time once when Il de
CiSion is made rs to what the melu

has just passed. and in the cellar or
the smoke house are plenty of pOSSi-
bilties that would make the mouth Of
an urbanite water.
SO thoughts turn to the field and for

to be about the only day in the year

rabbit being about the only kind of
game that cannot be exterminated. but
sticks like the faithful dog wherever
space is cleared away for a home in

Aside from rabbit hunting. there is
other game TO be found in most coun

quail. But whether all this game has
been killed earlier in the season by
professional hunters makes little diff

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS.

Most newspaper men will ad-
NIT that besides furnishing good
stories for the front page around
Thanksgiving the turkey also
makes good inside matter.
Those who knitted Caesar
claimed they loved him. The
turkey is a oird Caesar in that
those who love him best are apt
to be the first to cut him.
Americans are born parliament
tarians. Even at dinner on
Thanksgiving day somebody will
take the chair. and then the cook
will move rnat the turkey be laid
on the table.
"De mortuis nil nisi bonum" is
Latin that at this season may
be translated. "Of the dead say
nothing but good in the presence
of their bones"
