L. w. Hardy, member of the board
of county commissioners, took the
ground that it was of paramount i'm
portance that the land which was
placed under cultivation be such as
is adapted to the crops planted. -dr.
Hardy said that as the. season was
late; it was most important that the
crops be carefully selected. He gave
it as his opinion that land which had
not yet been placed in condition for
cultivation would require an expen-
diture to place it in readiness that
would offset the benefit of the loan
of acreage, and stated that it was
his belief that there was enough land
adjacent to Pensacola already pre-
pared, which might be readily OBJ

CHANGE RATI0Ns OF CHICKS
Youngster of Four Weeks-Va-
riety Is Needed.

Chick feeds, as usually made up, are
for small chicks only. A normal chick
of four weeks old has in a large meas
ure outgrown chick feed. At this age,
if not already started IN something
coarser, a mixture something like the
following should be fed: One hundred
pounds Of chick feed, 25 pounds Of
whole wheat, 25 pounds of coarse
cracked corn or kafir corn. In a week
or two the per cent Of chick feed can
be reversed and soon entirely omitted.
The important thing Is to change
feeds gradually and let the period Of
change lap over a week OF two. Do
not try to make the change by giving
occasional feeds, as of, say, all whole
wheat; rather mix the wheat in. as
indicated in the above formula. Any
one grain fed alone is not sufficiently
balanced to produce proper growth,
and, on the other hand, is so concen-
trated in certain food elements as to
be detrimental to proper digestion.

MALES FIGHT MORE OR LESS
When Yarded Together There Is Sure
to Be Some ScraPping-old Bird
Maintains Peace.

When ccckerels are yarded together
they are sure to fight more or less,
especially toward the natural mating
and breeding season. If they haven't
enough vigor and vim to scrap they
aren't of much value as breeders.
On a farm where many game chick
ems were raised the matured young
male birds were kept in small fiocks,
half a dozen or so in each yard. To
prevent any serious injury an old male
was confined with the youngsters in
each yard. Ordinarily he didn't bother
them, but If they started trouble among
themselves he was in the midst in q
hurry.
He was simply bound to maintain
peace among them If he had to fight
for it. His action soon frightened
them out of their mimic war.
The plan would probably prove as
effective with other breeds. If any
youngster had the temerity to dispute
the boss" he would probably soon get

The daddy of the family had once been

had gone to the city to live, and he
had had a very hard time. He, too,
had four children, but their faces were
pale, and often, often they had not

Be Thankful Every Day.

The purely passive contemplation of
all good ought to be granted to COM
mon days on which no more has oc-
Cured than the daily round of little
pleasures and the absence of more
than ordinary %annoyances. With the
evening offering Of a silent thanksgIv-
Ing to God we take conscious possess
sion Of simple happiness and enjoy
1t once again, instead of slipping off
past Gods best gifts as men so often
do. Thus thanksgiving involves the
recognition: All this good Is from
God, and this recognition reacts on our
W mood, creating conscious JOY and
humble trust in the God who will con-
ainue to bless in things both great
and small.

PRETTY GOOD KIND OF MAN
Deacon opdyke's Action Showed He
Was Only Properly Appreciated
by His Neishbors.

"Well, he Is this kind of q man,"
said the livery stable keeper. when I
asked him about his townsman, Dea-
o Opdyke: Last year the deacon
had some extra work to do on his
farm on the upper road, and 1 hired
gu my old Bill to him. At the end of
a month the horse came back in good
condition, the deacon paid the price,
and everyone concerned was satisfied,
Including Old Bill, 1 guess. Along
about Thanksgiving time the deacon
dropped in here and inquired about
the horse. Seemed real pleased when
y told him Bill was spryer than usual
after his summers work. Asked to
e him, but the horse was out on
II job, Quite a member of society, that
horse is he said, and went away after
tnqulring how many horses l had in
the stable, bOarderS and all.

much doing here after the regular
chores were done, and we all sat
around the office stove, when the dea-
cons hired man drove up and unload
ed 81 gunny sack full of something. l
remember thinking he had borrowed
shat kind of satisfied smile of the

was about what it said:

a rich bird-One of the turkeys of the
great Thanksgiving day. But their
daddy told them how Mr.. Turkey had
come from the country, and that he
would be cooked and would be eaten
that day for their dinner-as soon as
he was nice and brown and while he
tlOated in a little pond of gravy!
"Now, wasn't my father the lucky
one? He was used for children who
had never known a Thanksgiving din
ner before. And weren't they thank
full? Oh, weren't they happy! Such
a surprise as my father gave them,
such a meal as he made for them, and
how happy the little pale children were
that there was a day in the three hun
dred and slxty-fve set aside for
Thanksgiving-and for turkeysl
while you creatures in the barn
yard got so many of the goodies left
from the Thanksgiving table, so did
old Dan, the dog, get the bones from
my father-Such bones as he had new
er before tasted. Even Dan knew the
meaning of the day."
1--WE were both right" said Mr.. Cob
bier. "My farmers children were
thankful because they knew they new
er had to long for food. They always
had enough. They never needed to
long for fresh air and a place for play
ing. And they did not wish for some
thing they did not have. SO were the
family to whom your father went
thankful. They were happy they had
each other and they were delighted
to share your father and to have such
a meal and treat. For them, too,
there vas Thanksgiving turkey. And
they talked of better days ahead.
YES" said Mr.. Gobbler proudly,
thanksgiving day is well named-a
holiday of giving thanks because we
are eaten. Our fathers were eaten in
both those hOmes-the poor and the
rich, and in both made happiness
equally great. And so will we make
happiness in a very few days"

Autumn.

ROW when the time of fruit and grain Is
come,
When apples hang above the orchard
wall,
And from q tangle by the roadside stream
A scent Of wild grapes fills the racy air,
Comes Autumn with her sun-burnt cara
van
like q long gypsy train with trapplngs
gay
And tattered colors of the Orient,
Moving slow-footed through the dreamy
hills.
The woods of Wilton, at her coming, wear
Tits of Bokhara and of Samarcand;
The NAPLES glow with their. Pompeian
red.
The hickories with burnt Etruscan gold:
End while the crickets fife along her
march,
Behind her banners burns the crimson
sun.

great and important event of the day,
there is something else.
In 1921 the Plymouth colony In New
England set aside one day of thankful
observation-disclosures for what they had;
not for what they thought they should
have. They had known hard days of
self-denial and struggle. Yet they
we're thankful. for in a new land they
saw great things ahead, and it Is our
duty to see that their hopes were not
in vain.
Thanksgiving day-the day to give
thanks. But are we to be thankful on
one day only, and then return to three
hundred and slxty-four days of grumb-
ling and Of regret for what we don't
possess? No! Let us have n day as
simply the first day of many, many
others In which we are thankful for
all we have. Not only for Mr.. Turkey,
who is growing to be an expensive lux
ury these days, but for those many
things upon which all the hard times
In the world will have no effect. Those
things which riches can never buy
the old, old gifts of health and laugh
ter, with the stars smiling upon us by
night and the great warm sun beaming
down upon us by day-trying so hard
to reach our hearts to keep them warm
and sunny on all the days of the year
beginning with Thanksgiving day.

and said:

boys ate as much as they could, so did
the two little girls with the blue eyes

In the midst of our feasting let us
not forget those who have been un.
fortunate. No one should sit down

BULLETS GIVEN FREE RANGE

Worms They Must Be Given Sue
culent Green Food.

If the pullets are given free range
they will gather bugs, worms and
green food and get sufficient exercise
to keep them healthy, but it is a Sc
rious mistake to think that because
q young chicken picks up a great deal
while roaming about the farm 1t does
not need other food. Animal foods
and succulent green food must be
supplemented by some form of grain
to produce satisfactory results.
