Now, he knew he was the only I'M

Thanksgiving Ode
By JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

NNCE more the liberal year
I J laughs out
Der richer stores than
gems Of gold;
Once more with harvest song and
shout
Is natures bloodless triumph
told.
Our common mother rests and
sings,
Like Ruth, among her ganered
sheaves.
Her lap is full Of goodly things;
Her brow is bright with autumn
leaves.
0 favors every year made newI
0 gifts with rain and sunshine
sentl
The bounty ovemuns our due;
The fuilness shames our discon-
tent.
We shut our eyes. and Aowe
bloom on;
We murmur, but the corn ee
FIJI;
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts ii shines behind US
still.
God gives US with our rugged soil
The power to make it Eden fair
And richer fruits to crown our Toll
Than summer welded islands
bear.
Who murmurs at his lot today?
Who seems his native fruit and
bloom
Or signs for dainfies far away
Beside the bounteous board Of
home2
Thank heaven, instead. that free
doms arm
Can change a rocky soil to gold;
That brave and generous lives can
warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And let these affairs, wreathed with
flowers
And piled with fruits, awake
again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The early and the latter rain.

PISGAH NATIONAL FOREST
WILL BE PROTECTED

Asheville, N. c.. Nov. 15.-Pisgah
National Forest in Western North
Carolina, near Biltmcrc, which was
purchased from the George w, Van
derbilt estate, has been made . Fed
eral game preserve by proclamation
of the President of the United States,
and deer, wild turkey, and other game
that are said to be plentiful in this
tract, which is regarded as one of
the most interesting places in the
Land of the Sky" will be protect
ed by the government. This is the
first Federal preserve of its kind to
be created east of tn Mississippi riv-
err. Pisgah Forest is easily accessible
from all parts of the South, being on
the main lines of tn eSouthern rail
way.
Owing to the protection against any
hunting which has been afforded the
tract for a number of years, the game
has not been killed out, as is the case
in most placs in the Southern noun
tains. AS a game preserve, no hunt
ing will be allowed in the Forest. and
as deer and other game increase on
the area it is expected that the over
flow will drift out of the Forest and
gradually restock adjacent land. A
movement now is on foot to place a
herd of elk and one of buffalo in the
preserve this winter.
Regulations governing the camping
and fishing privileges have been drawn
up in cooperation with local citizens
and sporting clubs, and will be issue
by the Secretary of Agriculture. /
is understood that regulated fishin
will be allowed, but the number o
permits issued the first season vii

pacity OF the streams is not known

BARN BUILDING
NOW IN ORDER
Proper Shelter Must Be Sup
piled If Live Stock Is
to Do Well
HAVE BUILDINGS WELL LIGHTED
Plan the Earn for Convenience m
Service-Directions Are Here Given
That win Help Any One With His
Own Building Problems.


(By C. A. Hutton, Division OF Exten
sion, University of Tennessee.)
When planning to build a barn one
of the first things to consider is its
general type-whether any farm live
stock, except COWS, are to be kept in
the barn. and the number of animals
to be cared for.
The best plan is to have the dairy
herd in a barn by itself, as there is
less confusion, the danger from loss
from fire is reduced, and it ear be kept
more sanitary. Where the dairy herd
is small and only a few horses and
other live stock are kept, n may use
q general purpose barn where all OF
the live stock are housed.
1t is a good plan to store hay above
the cows, if a tight ceiling is provided
Nothing but a self-supporting ROOF
should be used. This increases the
hay capacity. No posts are in the way
of the hay. The self-supporting ROOF
is more durable, looks much better
than a straight roof, and costs prac
tically the same. Bank barns are
usually unsatisfactory in the South
They are poorly lighted and poorly
ventilated.
Select a convenient location on high,
dry GROUND easily accessible to fields,
water and other buildings. Never build
a barn less than 80 feet nor more than
So feet wide. Less than this width is
inconvenient, and more than 36 feet is
unnecessary. Never put in more han
two rows of cows. II horses or other
live stock are to be sheltered in the
same barn, put them in one end OF the
barn away from the cows.
The cows may face in or out, but it
is usually considered best to have
them face out. They get fresh air as
soon as it enters the barn, and this is
the handiest arrangement for milking
and cleaning out the barn. Put in at
least four square feet of window space
for each cow. Concrete makes the
most sanitary floor, and is cheapest in
the end. A stall for an a~verage-si2e
Jersey COW should be 3 feet 6 inches
wide by 4 feet 6 inches long.
Plans explaining the construction OF
modern dairy herds, silos and milk
houses will be furnished free to farm.

TO THE PASTORS OF THE
DIFFERENT CHURCHES IN
JOHNSON CITY

1t is he intention of the new man
agoment of The Comet to add new
features along as conditions and OPP
portunities demand. Among the new
features plannded for the near future,
and one which we believe will appeal
to the godo people of the city, is this:
We propose to devote some space
each week, free of charge, to the
pastors of tn various churches in the
city who a eto contribute articles
which will tend toward the moral up
lift of humanity. Any pastor may
write an article and choose his own
subject. All we ask of you is that
you get copy to Comet office not lat
err than Monday of each week. If you
are interested in saving souls-and
you are-here is a grand opportunity,
and Johnson City is a good field to
work for the Master. Brethren, it's
up to you.-( Editor).

elector for the State at large he play
ed an important part in the presi-
Dental campaign in Tennessee. No
one in this State made more reputa-
ton as a public speaker. From every

Taylor is thoroughly posted and his
eloquence and logic were most con-
vincing. He is, in addition, a young
