Fred Maser returned Wednesday
morning from the Twin Cities and
points in Wisconsin, where he had been
on business for a few days. Two or

ers, who still have threshing and grain
to market.

Oscar Hanson of Snow was in Tuesday
with q three horse load of 81 bushels
of wheat from his farm neal Snow. He

of two or three places in deep ravines
where the ground was not frozen enough
so as to prevent the wheels from cut
ting through. Mr.. Hanson had a wheat
yield of about ~ bushels to the acre.
He does not expect to market much
grain this fall as 66c per bushels does
not look very inviting to him. Harold
Hanson was also in TUESDAY,. and a
neighbor by the name Of "A. o. Skal-
beck came in with q four-horse load Of
wheat.

be incurred.
Thanksgiving day on the farm Is Il
day OF festivity and jolltication 1t is
a genuine product of enjoyment, de
pendent sometimes largely upon condi-
tions of the weather and upon the nat
ural facilities provided for enjoyment.
and ii is entirely uuadulterated with
the more modern and perhaps super
fetal tat 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
chara cter of the people who inhabit the
country and 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 turkey for the
holiday feast is still quite strong in the
average ruralite. although the birds
have become few in number There
are comparatively few places now in
the United States where hunt re-
suits in the capture of turkey. Those
good old days when people did not
need to consult the market price of tur-
key when planning their Thanksgiving
feast have gone by, and even on the
farm some thought is given to the
market price of the fine young gobber
before it is decided to serve him up
for the holiday dinner instead Of ship
ping him to the city market
But the larder of the provident farm
family is generally well filed, and per-
haps less thought is directed to the
Thanksgiving dinner as 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 de-
cision is made as to what the menu
Sudll COuSlSL Ul. Anu DuCCuerlHS tllle
has just passed, and in the cellar or
the smoke house are plenty of possi-
bilities that would make the mouth of
an urbanite water.
So thoughts turn to the field and for
est for days hunting. And 1t seems
to be about the only day in the year
when nearly every man and boy old
enough to handle a gun goes hunting.
The farmer will let the hunters from
the city bang about all over his farm
during the early part of the season,
when game is plenty-if it ever is-but
he will keep right ahead husking his
corn, baling his hay, hauling In pump
kins, ETC.. until Thanksgiving day
comes around. Then he gets the hunt
ing fever.
There is no work done on Thanksgiv-
ing. 1t would be almost a heathenish
act not to take the day off" no mat
ter how urgent the farm work may be.
If there is snow on Thanksgiving it
is regular day in paradise for the

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS.

Most newspaper men viii ad-
NIT that besides furnishing good
stories for the front page around
Thanksgiving the turkey also
makes good inside matter.
Those who knded Caesar
) claimed they loved him. The
turkey is bird Caesar in that
. those who love him best arc apt
to be the first to cut HIM.
Americans are born spariianen-
tarians. Even at dinner on
Thanksgiving day somebody will
take the chair, and ti1en the cook
; will move that the turkey be laid
on the table.
