Season for All to
Magnify Blessings
and Forget Crosses

w yE CELEBRATE that great
AN/ holiday, Thanksgiving, at
this season. In the gny
round Of pleasures the day
always brings. perhaps not one Of us
will stop q moment and seriously look
back oyer the lnst year. now, raQtux
drawing to Il close. Many of us-in
fact. all Of us-shOuld pause n moment
and quietly review the past months.
Perhaps these months brought US
many trials, but they also brought US
many blessings. 1t is the blessings we
should itcmlze and magnify and for
get the crosses. We may sigh dis
cOntentedly and say. "Wcll. last year l
had many more reasons to be thank
full than / have this year" but IL we
are fair and honest with ourselves we
will have to admit that. even IL
troubles came our way, the blessings
that followed them were fur greater
In number.
Who has not read the story OF that
first Thnnksg! ling Day? Fancy n
woman In these times enduring the
hnrtlships md worries those strong
hearted New England pilgrims en-
dured; and what wonderful lesson
in unselfishness they have handed
down to US!
Argue and elaborate as we will on
our burdens, we know fate has been
good to US. Life Is not all sunshine.
If 1t were we would very soon grow
tired Of life. DIsnppoIntmcnts, set
backs, Establishments come TO every
one. and we must expect they will
come to us. Indeed we hive no voice
In the matter. They will come to us
us surely as day follows night; but 10
we accept them patiently? Tint Is
another story.
Many women look only on the dirk
side of life. "Whnt's the uscY' they
say dcJcctedly. Everything l try TO
do turns out n failure" There Is
tiny breath Of sclGshncss here. "l' is
very prominent In these womcn's
thoughts. Perhaps II they did some
thing worth while for someone else
their work would be crowned with
success. Doing something for another
hns never yet turned out n fnilurc.
There isn't cnsc on record shown:
whore failure has followed kind deed
done for another. Perhaps this other
did not appreciate the efforts tnkcn In
her behalf. yet the fact remains that
the woman who put herself out IN
mike another womnn happy cypc-
rlcnccd n wonderful happiness herself.

in which he left not q leg for a
Stacker nor pro-German to

been cast. that 1t must be car

Pullets Should Be Fed
For Early Development

Pullets that are stunted by poor feed.
ing during the first few weeks OF their
lives will prove decided disappoint-
ment from the standpoint of their egg
production, according to n. L. Harris,
superintendent of the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college poultry farm.
If an abundant supply Of eggs is to
be expected next fall and winter the
young pullets must be fed from the
first with this view in mind. There is
always shortage of eggs in the early
fan and winter, due largely to the fact
that the care and feeding are not prop
erly attended TO during the early life
Of the chick.
Hens do not consume feed one day to
manufacture it into eggs the next.
Chicks should be fed a good ration
throughout the entire year instead of
being allowed to hustle for themselves
after they have attained a weight of
two or three pounds. 1t is practically
impossible TO induce the hens to lay
during the cold winter months unless
they have been well developed and
started to laying during the nice fall
