MORE CALVES ARE
BEING RAISED NOW
Interesting Statistics Gathered
by the Department of Agri-
culture on Stock

Eighteen counties of the State show
an increase in the number of calves
raised this year over the average, ac-
cording to statistics Just gathered by
he Department of Agriculture.
The general average for the State is
up to the standard, say officials, as in
creased interest in cattle raising both
for dairying and feeding purposes has
been noticed during the season in
many sections. The counties showing
over 100 per cent. increase in calves
are Allegheny, Armstrong, Berks, But
Ter, Clearfield, Elk, Greene, Lancaster,
Lebanon, Lehish, Luzerne, Lycoming,
Mexican. Susquehanna, Union, We
mango, Washington and Wyoming
The greatest increase was in Wyo-
ming with per cent. above the aver
age, while Greene showed 4 per cent.
and Susquehanna and Venango per
cent
Decreases of 3 per cent. or more of
the average were reported in Blair,
Dauphin. Juniata, Northumberland,
Pike and Potter counties.
Armstrong county farmers report
that prospects for splendid oats yields
are more promising every day.
Berks county farmers are harvest
ing the largest wheat crop in their
history. The average yield per ac.GN IS
about 20 bushels, but some distritag
report as high as 40 bushels to an ax-e
Last year the State average was 40
bushels to an acre.
Fire blight has been very destructive
in several sections of the State and
many young pear trees have been
ruined.
Bedford county farmers report a
yield of 2 tons OF hay to an acre.
The alfalfa first cutting has been
completed in Butler county and the
crop is reported to have been remark
ablv good.
Northern tier farmers are reported
to have done considerable planting of
corn and potatoes as late as the first
week of July.
The acreage given to alfalfa in some
townships in Chester county has
doubled in the past two years and
splendid results have been obtained
from the crops.
Lancaster county dairymen are
realizing that it is more profitable to
raise few heifers from COWS of quail
ity and profit than to depend upon the
open market for replenishing their
herds.
There has been a decided improve
ment in the grade of cattle raised in
Lebanon during the past few years.

THE SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING.

At the approach of Thanksgiving. our mlnd goes back to the time when we were really grate- full for the good things enjoyed on that day, specially when the old folks could boast of goo crop: and the chances are the same spirit pre- vails among the farmers of these days, because farmers are closer to nature than are in a community like ours. They have good reason to be thankful fl their crops are success. 4 farm CT may be said to be indebted to the Maker for the sunshine that ripened his harvest, for the rains and everything that nature provides to make things grow. and as general rule, a farm CT appreciates all this. But apparently we don't. because We are living an artificial life.
 With Us the battle iS not so much with the forces of nature but with men; with people thru whom We make our living. and the unreasonable ness of t all is that we always expect more than We receive For instance: We may be given 3 holiday on Thanksgiving day with full pay. yet most of Is expect 3 turkey besides. Not so with the farmer As our mind goes back to those days we distinctly remember how the Governor would pronounce blessing over the good things for which we were really thankful to the Maker. But yye have ost the faculty of giving thanks, We have grown selfish.
 In community like ours. that day is day of feasting. There are no thanks due any one We feel as though re had earned what we are feast ing upon There are some. however. who may not have earned much Of the good things that others will feast upon. can We not at least make some one less fortunate than ourselves thankful and in doing 90 We may in some measure feel the spirit os Thanksgiving That spirit that left us when we began our artificial life Let Us try.

the aIlles cannot sec any g3ll9l8lI sVs.-.1 vice versa. Their minds have reached that com plex and it is impossible for them to change their position. Not that most of the partisans are not honest. On the contrary they all try to measure all the facts and look at them with unprejudic- ed mind but owing to that state of mind to see another direction is impossible. Everybody is wrong but themselves.
 The present war has brought out more of that class of men than anything else. Nine-tenths in this country have their ideas how the war will end. But all those ideas are based on how the person possessing them desires the war to end So it is useless to argue about it, or to give your reason for believing the contrary, because you cannot change another's mind anymore than another can change yours.
