THANKSGIVING DAY,

"oR all the gracious gifts in harvest
In things material whose goodly
share
I richly prize.
For mans abundant wealth that lies in
sight
And for the sense Of power and Of might
With which to meet a foe and fight the
fight
My thanks arise.
But for the richer gifts Of love and peace
That bring the soul a sense Of sweet re-
From pressing care,
For mercies shown, for greater growth Of
soul,
For light when clouds Of deadly dark up
To point the way to some more lofty goat
And lead US there;
For broader human sympathy, for tears
OF brotherhood to ease another's fears
And cheer his way,
For seeing eyes and shoulders fit to bear
The burdens OF our fellows in despair,
And right good will to help them in their
When times are gray:
For men of hearts and souls inclined
To honor of a lowlier, meeker kind,
With grace endued;
Who seek all dire injustices to mend.
To guide the hopeless to some hopeful
end
Not thisa alone, but all my days I spend
In gratitude!

In 1916 the British debt reached its
maximum, which was fS94,979,O75.
Equally rapid was the growth Of our
debt as a consequence of the civil war.
When the var broke out a total debt
of less than $7O,OOO,OOO existed in this
country. In 1866 the debt had reached
$2,33332,333 POS. This was the largest
debt this country ever had. Reductions
began to be made soon after the. war
closed and at times were made with
great rapidity. The lowest point in, the
debt was reached in 1S92-something
under 81. ZOO. After 1892 the
debt began to rise and during the
Spanish war increased sharply. Elk
cept for that war it would have stood
for many years at a smaller figure
than $1.OOO.OOO,OOO Between 1865 and
1896 the debt was reduced about So
per cent. Great Britain, however, in
those thirty years reduced her debt
less than Z per cent.

1t does not matter whether the sheds
used by the sheep are SO very warm or
not, but they nus not be so open that
the wind can whistle through them,
though there must be plenty of ventila-
ton. Plenty of light and ventilation
and freedom from drafts are the main
considerations. The warmth of the
shed is less important than the neces-
sity of a good, sound roof.
Do not put more than fifty sheep in
q single shed. More than that number
will be hard to manage, and the
chances of accidents among ewes with
lamb will be greatly increased. The
shed ought to he about twice as long
as it is wide and there should he ample
room for every animal to lie down in
side it's doors without the appearance
of crowding the place. The floor must.
of course, be absolutely dry and re-
main that way.
The feeding rack should be placed
on one side of the shed and should con
sist Of Il fiat bottomed trough ut the
bottom, ~surmOunted by Il we'll built
rack, made of Stats nailed about three
inches apart.
Where the space is not great enough
to allow the rack to be built out from
the wall so sheep can feed from both
sides, the bottom of the rack will have
to be built slanting enough to slide all
the grain, hay, chatf, trashy bits of
forage and leaves. down to the side
where the sheep are feeding. This will
keep the far side of the rack from fill,
ing up with moldy feed.
Unless the ceiling is made very tight
1t is Il bad practice to store feed ovei
a shed room occupied by sheep. as the
seeds and chatf will sift down through
to where the sheep are feeling or lying
and help to spoil the quality OF the
wool.

PROFIT IN HOG RAISING.
Glover Pasture and Pure Water Ma
teriaI Factors For Success.

In my opinion, the first and most I'M
portant requisite, in order to make hog
raising profitable, is the possession Of
the best early maturing pure bred pork
breed, writes a correspondent Of the
American Agriculturist. Having these,
l recommend a good alfalfa or red clO-
e pasture. ample shade during hot
weather and an abundance of pure wa
ter, running if possible, accessible to the
swine at all times. All apple orchard
composed of matured trees adjoining
the alfalfa or clover pasture is an ex-
cellent addition, as the trees afford
necessary shade during hot weather,
and the swine will consume all wind
fall fruit and thereby convert large
losses Of fruit into some profit as hog
feed.
Sweet skimmilk. with a small guam
tity of either wheat middlings or
morning and evening when on pasture
is very beneficial and will net a large
gain SO fed to swine. Pigs narrowed in
March, properly cared for, will be
ready for market at six to eight
months, and this is the most profitable
age to market them.
Cornmeal, mixed up quite thick with
sweet skimmilk, l consider best final
finishing hog feed. If the young pigs
have been properly fed and grown for
five or six months. from four to six
weeks feeding on the above cornmeal
and skimmilk. all they will clean up
three times Il day after they have be-
come accustomed to the change of
grain feed. ought to make first class
market pork at a good profit to the pro-
Queer.

Clean Hog Cars Thoroughly.

"While there are sanitary regulations
recurring that all stock ears in which
cholera hogs have been shipped be dis
infected. it is up to the shipper to be
on the safe side and see to It that all
the cars he uses are clean" So states
DR.. r. \. Beach Of the College Of Agri-
culture. University of Wisconsin, rela-
tive to the matter of filthy stock cars.
which are becoming a serious factor in
the spread of hog cholera. DIR. Beach
states that cholera germs remain alive
for weeks in cars which have contained
diseased animals. Cases are also on
record where cholera has been brought
into a community simply by the pass
ing through Of germ laden ears.
