nese have their feast days, which they
observe in their own peculiar manner
Each religion Las it's own. but there
is one THANKSGIVING day for all, when
all Of whatever faith, can. in their
own way, call on God and praise Je-
sus or Mohammed or Buddha.
Nov. Is, 1887, was our first national
Thanksgiving Cay, ordained by the act
of the Continental congress and pro
claimed by George Washington. The
day was set apart. in the words of the
resolution. to express gratitude that
God had been pleased to ''smile on us in
the prosecution of Il just and necessary
war for the defense and establishment
Of our unalienable rights and liberty"
The constitution had just been adopt
cd, and before the act setting aside this
day Of Thanksgiving had been finally
passed there had been not Il little dis
cussion in congress about the prOpriety
OF the presidents asking people to give
thanks for constitution for which
some Of them were not thankful.
1t was later that the last Thursday
in November came to be the day
chosen. when no marked event indi-
Gated another day. and the thanks OF
the nation. united under the cOnstitu-
ton. were expressed on Nov. 2S. 1889.
Since that day the custom has never
been omitted entirely, although until
the civil war it was only occasionally
observed except in New England.
1t was our civil war which brought
the people to new sense Of national
oneness, and since 1868 the president
of the United States has annually is
sued a proclamation Of thanksgiving.
But what president or prophet OF
sage In 1861 could have dreamed that
half century later the lines OF suck
proclamation would go out into AL
the world?

FIELD BEANS AS Cash CROP
Can Be Harvested, Stored and
Threshed Out In Winter When
There Is Little Else to Do.

The New Hampshire department of
agronomy has sent out a leafiet CALI
ing attention to the possibility of add
ing field beans to the limited number
of cash crops of that state. The rea-
sons given are:
Beans work into the rotation as a
cultivated crop.
They are legumes. and therefore
do not exhaust the soil of it's nitrogen.
They will always sell for cash.
They can be harvested, stored and
threshed out to be sold in winter
when there is little profitable work
to do on the farm.
While beans will sometimes make a
crop on pretty poor land, they will do
better on good land. Where an old
field is foul with witch grass, the sod
should be subdued and got rid of it's
weeds before planting it to beans.
In general way, beans will do well
on soils which are not quite rich
enough for good crop of corn. They
thrive well on sandy loans, loans
and clay loans. The straw is a better
roughage than most hays. It is bet
ter than corn slower, but not quite as
good as clover hay. Those who throw
away bean straw or burn it are over
looking a good source of gains for
the live stock.

KEEP DAIRY HEIFER GROWING
First Year of Animals Life Is Most
lmportant-GlVeT Them Skim Milk
in Moderate Quantities.
CBy r. M. WASHBURN)

The first year of calls life is the
most important with respect to it's
growth. Unless animals are kept
growing during this period their final
development will be much retarded,
and the chances are they never will
reach the scale which their inheritance
would give them.
On the best regulated dairy farms
calves are born in the autumn and
early winter, and they should receive
skim milk in moderate quantities
through much, or all, of the summer
following birth. On farms having
hand separators there is no difficulty
in providing the sweet milk for calves,
morning and evening, but farmers
who patronize whole-milk creameries
or who still skim by hand should re-
member that after the first few weeks
milk for calves should either be thor
oughly sweet or fully sour, that the
most dangerous condition is the half
sour stage. II milk is fed to calves
when it is in this changing condition,
it is almost certain TO cause indi-
gestion. 1t should not be half sour,
nor sour one day and sweet the next,
but always one or the other.
Clean feeding pals must be used.
otherwise the germs of fermentation
and diarrhea will be brought to the

CURE SEED CORN WITH CARE
It Should 80 Hung Up or Placed on
Racks in Such Way That Air
May Circulate Freely.

Extraordinary care will be needed
in curing seed corn this fall. Most of
the seed corn picked will contain
much moisture.
The more moisture the more serious
will be the danger from freezing;
consequently, seed corn should be
stored IN a dry and sufficiently warm
place as soon as it is picked.
Moreover. It should be hung up or
placed on racks in such way that
the air may circulate freely about ev-
cry ear.
II these simple directions are fol-
lowed. the corn will dry out rapidly.
and the corn will give the largest pos,
sible termination in the spring.

VALUABLE HORSE HINTS
RepoSe Almost as Essential as
Good Feed and Water.
Colt is Not Safe for Women, Children
or inexperienced Men t0 Handle
Study Conformation and
Breeding Of Mares.

All horses, when turned out in pas
ture, are more prone to take their rest
lying down than when confined in
stable stalls, says a writer in Inland
Farmer. But even when practically
free from human restraint and obser-
walton, or any likelihood Of danger,
they seldom take more than an hour
each night in the recumbent position.
and that period is generally INDUCED
in about midnight.
noted veterinarian says: There
are some curious facts regarding the
disposition of horses in the matter of
lying down. To Woodworking horse
repose is almost as much of a neces-
sity as good food and water, but tired
as he may be, he is an animal very
shy about lying down. | have known
instances where stablemen declared
that the horses in their charge had
never been known to take rest in that
manner, but always slept standing.
In purchasing a general purpose
horse, which will be used when rail-
road, electric cars and autos are to be
met, don't buy a colt, because no
young horse is safe for women, chill
dren or inexperienced men to handle.
Don't buy until you have driven, or
have seen the horse driven, near
enough to these objects OF terror to
be certain that he will pass them with
odt trying to smash up things. Better
