THANKSGIVING
THE YEAR ROUND

a WOMAN who has an almost old
~ fashioned faith in Providence
"a keeps what she calls her
- thank Offering box" Into
this goes through the year, from one
Thanksgiving to the middle Of the fol
lowing November. sum OF money Tor
every accident escaped, calamity avert
ed or special JOY.
These offerings are not confined to
her own escapes, but each time some
member of her family bobs up from
some threatened woe into the box goes
the money offering Of thanks.
Not the same amount Is given each
time, and rarely large sums. for the
woman is not rich, but nice little sum
is realized.
This is devoted to giving some one
happy Thanksgiving day. 1t does not
always go into the regular channels
AS the woman says, the poor and hos
pitals are usually well cared for In
holiday seasons.
Sometimes a homesick girl In q
strange city Is given car fare home FOR
the Thanksgiving gathering she would
otherwise miss. Once n music lover
was given season ticket to the sym
phony concerts. Again doctors bill
that had worried a young stenogra'
pher who had her mother to support
was quietly paid.
In speaking Of her pretty custom the
owner Of the thank offering box said.
Never have | known what thankful
ness really meant until I started my
box and saw the Joy my thankfulness
brings to others"
Such a box. besides cultivating ones
bump Of gratitude and making others
equally grateful. cannot but AFFORD
great pleasure and interest In the
spending. 1t Is a gracious thought one
more woman could proatably put Into
practice.

How Deep Is Your Farm ?

When one buys farm the deed calls
for so much surface area described by
metes and bounds, or by section, town,
and range. The buyer gets everything
in the air above and in the earth be-
meath, unless mineral, coal, or oil reser-
vations have been made by the govern
ment or by the previous owner.
The average farmer, however, Ia con-
cerned with only the skin on the top
that is measured by the depth OF bis
plowing.
The editor Of the Connecticut Farmer
puts ii this way:
"The average farm Is only six inches
thick. In other words, the farmer con-
Germs himself with that part Of the farm
that lies within the zone reached by or
dinary plowing, and he forgets all about
the storehouse of riches that lies below
the plow line"
Some farms have been plowed the
same way so long that the subsoil has
become hardened where the plowshsre
rubs over it year after year, forming
hardpan that prevents all roots from 60
ing into this wealth of riches beneath
Yet these farmers never even think ol
examining the real condition. They &c
on year after year gathering less and les!
crops and complaining of Ill luck, bao
seasons, WORKOUT land and various
other gOblins when the real trouble II
within themselves.

Keep Young People Interested.

Young people should share in the
business of the farm though it be but in
a small way" said A. B. Graham of the
College of Agriculture, Ohio State Uni.
versity, in talking of the problem OF
keeping the boy and girl interested in
what is being done on the farm. with
one it may be hen and chicks, another
small patch of potatoes or pop corn,
an acre OF corn or wheat, a tree of apples
or cherries, pig, calf, colt OF sheep.
They should earn and learn and be ma.
terially rewarded, so that small bank
account can be started in their own
name. The fire insurance policy and the
deed for the farm should be hauled out
of their hiding places and be read by the
young folks. A certificate Of stock or .
bond coupon, a promissory note, re-
ceipt for the payment Of an account
should occasionally be brought forth
that their acquaintance may be made.
Young people should be consulted as to
the weight Of animals, the time OF mar.
keting and as to their value to the end
that their judgment may be trained and
that real serious interest may be
aroused"

Necessity the Grim Teacher.

A man familiar with tho Danish CO.

Necessity overcomes many obstacles.
There is no use Of growing impatient
because the American farmer seems to
be 80 slow to take hold of cooperation.
American farmers still value their indi-
viduality and so-called independence.
They have not yet learned that these val
liable characteristics or qualities may
still be retained and at the same time
strengthened by working in harmony
rather than at cross purposes with an
economic scheme Of things.
Perhaps only necessity, that grim, un-
compromising teacher, will drive them
to a readjustment of thcir ideas. Peo-
pc who have once learned the value OF
CO o.operation, working together, see how
foolish were their ideas Of indep endence
that 80 long kept them from getting to.

Thanksgiving at
Lonesome Hollow
s*<$+*********+*>*$$
By FRANCIS A. MILLER

~ EEMS awfully forlorn to eat q
Thanksgiving dinner all alone" !"
~ said Milly soberly, looking over
at the young fellow who sat
mending a harness strap beside the
blazing hearth. II haven't the heart
to get up big dinner for just US two"
II don't see what else we can do. No
neighbors to invite except old Pete
Sprat, and he wouldn't come. We might
send him something by way Of being
neighborly."
"And be turned away for our pains"
the woman laughed.
"You can't even 90 out on the high
ways and hedges and gather In strag-
gIers like the ancient host Of Bible
fame. Maybe it is just as well not to
have all the work Of getting UP a
Thanksgiving dinner, for 1t seems to
me that you loOk' tired, Milly. What's
the matter?'
Nothing. Jim: | guess need little
outing. Ill take a run across the
hollow and he back before supper.
Milly put on her cloak and went out
into the crisp autumn afternoon. The
woods were bare except for a few
torchlike flames of red which marked
the presence Of an occasional gum tree.
The sky WIS clear. cold and pallid,
tinged will, greenish glow where the
dark forest. trimmed the far horizon.
Not sign of human habitation was
visible, and not sound broke the vast
stiffness save the steady tap-tap OF q

Crops and the Weather.

A good many people will recall that
along in the midst of the hottest and
driest part of the summer good many
people were found complaining that the
crops were all drying up, and that oil
corn especially there would be practical.
" a crop failure. This proved to be al
most an actual condition with some, but
right in the midst OF almost crop failure
on the part of good many farmers were
to be found the bright and shining ex:
amples of those good farmers who had
pulled their corn crops through with al,
most normal yields. By some, the good
crops of their neighbors are declared to
be the result of luck. Over in Water
ford there are some persons who say, be.
cause L. E. McIntire invaribly has good
crops, that "Leslie's lucky" but Leslie
knows that 1t isn't luck, and declares
that any of the other farmers could have
as good crops if they would put as much
study and work into them.
And right here want to offer Mr.. Nc
Intire's ten acres OF sweet corn, which
produced an $500 crop, as demonstra,
ton of good farming,
How many sweet corn growers get
more than $500 for ten acres Of sweet
corn in the most favorable years? There
is not the slightest element of luck in
bringing such a crop Of corn as this
through such a season as that just end.
ed. 1t is the result of good farming, and
it is a demonstration of the fact that the
farmer, although dependent to certain
extent upon the weather and other nat
ural conditions, is not so absolutely de-
pendent as we have been in the habit oil
thinking. 1t is a great deal easier to let
the weather make or mar our crops than
to compel the earth to give us OF it's
fruits aud to give generously; easier than
to delve into the mysteries of nature and
to overcome the untowardness of certain
natural conditions; but although easier,
it is not nearly so profitable, not nearly
so satisfying, although a great. many
people seem to be able to satisfy their
cousciences with the weather excuse fol
poor crops.
Elden wilkins of st. Albans, who
raised a $40 crop of sweet corn on an
acre of ground this season, may be
lucky man, bnt his fine crop of corn was
not the result of luck. 1t was the result
of the right kind of management, doing
the right things at the right time, and
using the right things in the right place
There are others in the State of Maine
who did as we'll as these two this sum
mer, or nearly as well. In view of what
they have accomplished, is 1t unreason,
able to presume that with the right kind
of land and crop management there need
not have been so near failure of the
sweet corn crop and the yellow corn croI
in many sections of the State Of Maine al
it has been our painful duty to record9-
