rHANkselv,Ne ON ASH MESA

On day, If remember,
Bout the middle of November,
Mrs. Mangus bravely essayed
To entertain the Ladies' Aid.
And the question rose, they say,
How to spend Thanksgiving Day.
After long consideration
Nav Fahrney had an inspiration.
Let us have a great big spread
On Thanksgiving Day." she said.
"At the schoolhouse we will meet,
And we'n all bring lots to eat
Well invite in all the neighbors
From their tolls and from their labors.
Well invite the great and small,
Well invite them one and all
Well have roast turkey, spuds and
squash,
And scalloped oysters, too-b'gosh.
Pickles, jelly and cabbage slaw,
The most good eats you ever saw.
Ice cream piled on apple pie,
All in favor holler "I.'
And right there it was decided
No one baked and none derided.
And the President said Nov hustle"
And with lots of noise and hustle
Invitations were extended.
Tough old gobblers' lives were ended,
Poor old Central grew quite dizzy.
Saying 2-O-4 line. please, is busy"
1t really was no use to strive
To get number on 2-0-5.
And those two weeks were SO long
We thought the calendar must be
wrong,
And had gotten mixed up on the date.
Oh! it was so hard to wait
The great day, though, at last was
here,
And they came from far and near.
Yes. they came from near and far,
In wagon, Ford and motor car.
They all came, the fat and thinner
To our big Thanksgiving dinner.
The first to come. as you might know,
Were the Boydens. John and Joe.
Showing, pushing one another,
Then came Samuel and his mother.
Johns voice reached her. faint but
clear,
Cant you get move on, dear?
Hurry faster, IL you're able,
You won't get seat at the first table
Can you beat it? Look there. son,
Here come Sayers on the run.
Ford and Sarah and the pup,
So fast poor Jackie can't keep up"
Coleman Voyles looked down that
way,
Then he cried in quick dismay,
Hurry up. wife! oh, my lapd."
And grabbed baby in each hand
John and Ford will get the start"
Then his eyes began to smart
And he cried in anguished tones,
"There'1l be nothing left but bones"
And with little more ado.
Down the road he fairly flew.
Mr.. Cooper heard the racket,
And he jumped into his jacket.
Hurry. Retail Come on, son!
Grab your hat, wife! Let US runi"
And in their haste to reach the spread
They forgot the baby, asleep in bed.
Then he cried as a wagon went dash
ing by,
There go Sagers on double high,
And as they have no time to lose.
She drives the team while he laces
his shoes"
The next ones to arrive that day
We're Tom and Ella Huckabay.
Once they lived on "old Ash Mes"
But left to find better place.
Now they listen to the roar
OF the Uncompahgre at their door.
Though they like the river dandy.

PuREBRED FEMALES FAVORED
In Opinion of Specialists Number Of
Purebreds of Both Sexes Is Rap
idly Increasing.

According to figures announced by
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture, live stock owners in the
United States show a tendency toward
purebred female animals as well as
toward purebred sires. In fact, the
use Of well-bred sires appears to in
crease the use Of good females. Dur
ing the period October 1, 1919, to
March 81, 1920, the quality of female
stock kept in herds and focks headed
by purebred sires, was 1873 per cent
purebred, and 2.5 per cent scrub. The
remaining number were grades Of
crossbreds. Later figures covering the
period October l, 1919, to December
81, 1920, show that the number Of
purebred females kept under CORE
spending conditions had increased to
500 per cent and scrubs had fallen
to 81.
These figures are based on a knowl-
edge Of the breeding of nearly 100000
head of animals and poultry. In the
opinion of department live stock spe-
cialists, the more general use Of pure
breds of both sexes on farms in the
United States is increasing. In about
a year, it appears. the increase in the
use Of purebred females by purebred-
sire users has been at least Z per cent

GRIT SUPPLY Is ESSENTIAL
Material Takes Place of Teeth in Pre-
pairing Fowls Food for Fur
Their Digestion.

Grit is essential to the health Of
fowls and to economy in feeding. Grit
takes the place of teeth in preparing
sAe feed for further digestion and is
required for the proper preparation
of feed in the gizzard. When the feed
is not properly taken care Of in this
organ, an undue strain is thrown on
the fowls system, often resulting in
disease and also allowing much Of the
nutriment to pass through the birds
body without being absorbed. In
every pen or yard box of grit should
be kept. Recent Investigators have
asserted that grit is a part of the
necessary feed of a flock, giving the
fowls strong bones and a bright plum
age.
Ordinarily. the hen does not con-
sumo enough lime to form the shells
Of eggs, if she is laying abundantly,
unless something besides the ordinary
grain feeds is accessible to her Oy-
ster shells are very good for this pur-
pose. A box of crushed shells may be
placed before the fowls, allowing them
to eat at will. Old mortar and fine
gravel are also useful in supplying
lime, say poultry specialists Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Charcoal readily absorbs gases, i'm
puritieS, and acids and thus acts as
corrective when the stomach is sour
and digestion has been impaired.
