Thanksgiving
in Days of
Grandmother
UR grandmothers began
preparation for Thanks
giving day long before
it arrived. Pickles of
all sorts, apple sauce
and preser ves were pre
pared ahead of time.
Mince meat was mixed
that It might ripen and
acquire a more delicious llavor. All the
vegetables were ready for the pot on
Wednesday night, the chickens or tur
key were stuffed, the puddings and pies
were prepared aud there was nothing
to do on Thanksgiving day but cook
the dinner.
Garnishes and Turkey Stuffing.
Oysters belong to Thanksgiving, ac
cording to tradition; because friendly
Indians who joined the early celebra
tions brought gifts of shellfish. A gar
nish of fried oysters is tasty and ap
propriate to surround the turkey, or
a dish of scalloped oysters may accom
pany the turkey, or an oyster cocktail
or oyster soup may be served before
; ho turkey, or may be molded in a
thin layer of jelly, which should he cut
out with a fancy cutter so that the
oyster appears in the center of a to
mato or aspic jelly, and is laid on ten
der lettuce leaves with mayonnaise
placed beside it.
A cupful of chopped peanuts blend
ed with two cupfuls of coarse bread
crumbs or cracker crumbs and sea
soning is a fine stuffing for the turkey.
To prepare chestnuts for a stuffing,
first gash the shell, brush the nuts
over with beef drippings and put in
the oven for a few minutes. When
heated, shell and skin are easily re
moved. Cut the nuts in small pieces,
then add them to an ordinary bread
mixture, or they may be put through
a potato ricer, seasoned and used alone.
Sausage croquettes are good for a
turkey garnish. Ruy one pound of
sausage meat, add to it one cupful
of soft bread crumbs, form into balls
the size of English walnuts, dip in
beaten egg, roll in bread crumbs and
fry in deep hot fat.
Cranberries With Turkey.
Left-over turkey, especially the
white meat, may be cut in cubes and
blended with enough warm cranberry
jelly, not too sweet, to hold it in shape
when cold.
The combination of cranberries and
raisins, popularly known as mock
cherry, is good for a pie filling or us
a conserve. The proportion is half
as many raisins as cranberries and
both should be cut in halves.
old-fashioned Cranberry Dumplings.
? Prepare a cranberry sauce from one
quart of cranberries, one and one-half
cupfuls of water and two cupfuls of
sugar. Make up a biscuit dough with
two cupfuls of Hour, four teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, one teaspoonful
of saJt? two tablespoonfuls of butter,
one tablespoonful of sugar and three
fourths of a cupful of milk. Shape
the dough into rounds and steam them
for twelve minutes. Serve with the
cranberry sauce, accompanied by a
hard sauce made of brown sugar and
butter.
Cranberry Punch. ? Conk one quart
of cranberries in three cupfuls of
water until soft, then press through
a sieve. Add two and one-half cup
fuls of sugar and the juice of two
lemons, and stand on ice for about
four hours to chill. Serve in glasses
with maraschino chcrries or candled
cranberries.
Menus to Choose.
Yellow is the Thanksgiving color,
just as red belongs to Chrlsiina?. A
pumpkin fruit basket is effective to
use as a centerpiece, and small pump
kins, or gourds, may serve as candle
sticks or he shaped in basket form
to b?> filled with nuts and raisins at
each plate.

NOVEMBER has come with its festival day,
**(\)The sweetest home-feast of the year,
wHen the little ones mingle in frolic and play,
And share in the Thanksgiving cheer.
And let us remember that tale of the past,
Of the Pilgrims who gathered their band, ^
And offered up thanks for the corn when at last
It waved o'er the famishing land.
*
For hunger had wasted those strong, patient men
Who struggled and labored in pain,
And the blessings of plentyjvhich gladdened ^
them then a
Gave courage and hope once again^j
And the fame of their bravery never decays^
While year after year rolls away, S
Since the morning that ushered in prayer and
in praise
The birth of our Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving
? Then
and Now
N THESE days of rush
^ and rustle, the advent of
Thanksgiving serves most
of all to remind us of
what wondrous changes
time has wrought The
Thanksgivings of our
fathers and those of to
day are no more alike than the min
uet and the fox trot, the dances that
well typify the era of the present and
the past. About the only thing left to
us from out of the old days is the
Thanksgiving turkey, and even tins
bird is not now held sacred and nec
essary for this festival.
The very mention of the word
Thanksgiving brings to the mind a
picture that modern conditions have
turned to the wall. It is a picture of
the time when life u'as simple in its
pleasure^ and robust in Its strength;
when people were really folks; when
the race and rivalry of life did not ex
tend their office hours over the entire
day. That state of things has now
passed away. It has followed in the
wake and the trail of the pioneers
and the other figures of the American
national life that was but is not.
In the old days there were tippets
and mitt'ns. things that hang in mem
ory's closet on the
saine nail as the
high stock, men's
shawls and daguer
rotypes. (Jone are
the marvelous tip
pets thalt went
round and# round
the neck ntitil a
person was
swathed like a
mummy of an
cient Egypt. Gone,
too. are the
mitt'ns knit at
home In c|oiors of
sunset and sun
rise blue, those
cozy ancestors of
gloves As for the'
bootjack, .in tlu.se
days of luxury and ready-made shoes
it is as unknown ns any creature of
the prehistoric age.
No longer does Thanksgiving bring
the real mince pie, that culinary tri
umph of every well-regulated nouse
liold. with its wonderful fruity flavor,
that cunningly combined the qualities
of solidity and crispness. a pie that
even if dangerous to health made a
danger well worth faring and putting
down. Compared with the bakery
built substitute of today the mince
pie of those days was a vintage pie,
as far above Its modern rival as a
vintage wine is above the grocery wine
for cooking use. Its existence was a
splendid testimonial to the physical
trhits of the men and women of the
era in which it flourished.
Even the plum pudding, that carni
val of richness, is disappearing from
the stage. It Is giving way to ice
cream, that mollycoddle of digestion
that invites to slow eating and delib
erate enjoyment.
The Thanksgiving stupe is now set
with new scenes and new characters.
There Is the cabaret and terrapin, and
football and the theater. There is the
social function In place of the family
festival ; and in the evening hours the
elaborate entertainment in the gilded
ballroom, in place of the homely dance
to the strains of the fiddle and the
bow and the ministrations of the
merry, squeaking fiddler. Truly, the
coming of this holiday and its observ
<no well measures the distance that
the nation has gone from its life and
its imbits in the days when Thanks
giving day was young.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"
HE celebration of Thanks
giving day has a long
and curious history, In
which it is the province
of a woman to play no
M inconspicuous part. The
"Ya'KM ^rlle8t aspect of tl,e
\&l day takes us back to the
chronicles of the Israel
ites, among whom there is men
tion throughout the Bible of dajs
set apart for special thanksgiving unto .
the Lord. Later the custom was not
uncommon in England before th*?
Reformation, and was taken up and
continued by the Protestants after
ward.
Thus it was that at Its Inception
there was no regularly appointed time
for this celebration. Sometimes it
would be observed once a year, soma
times twice, and then perhaps a year
or two . would be skipped? according
as reasons for thanksgiving presented
themselves or not.
Among the colonists It was custom
arv for the president to issue a proc
lamation recommending that the peo
ple cease from their ordinary occupa
tions and observe a day of thanksgiv
ing, with proper ceremony, at some
specified time, but it was usually left
to the governors of the various states
to determine whether there should be
such a day, and when. (
? ??????
This Irregular course and unofficial
like treatment of the observance miglu
have continued in vogue indefinitely
but for the well-directed and strenu
ous efforts of Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, ed
itress of Godey's Lady Book. She
realized, perhaps more forcibly than
ethers at the time, that the celebra* j
Hon of Thanksgiving as then observed j
lacked character and impressiveness. j
which could be remedied only by the i
adoption of measures bringing the peo- |
pie to concerted participation on this ^
occasion. Therefore she assumed and
devoted herself to the task of writing j
to all the governors of the different ;
states and territories, urging upon
them the propriety of a national
thanksgiving and suggesting the last
Thursday in November as the day for
such celebration. She continued to
write these letters year after year, and
was finally rewarded for her efforts
by all the governors, excepting two,
granting her request.
However, the people's response was
not enthusiastic, and during the Civil
war, especially In the South, the cus
tom lagged.
Immediately after the battle of Get
tysburg Mrs. Hale wrote -President
Lincoln, inclosing a copy of Washing
ton's Thanksgiving proclamation, and
suggesting that he also proclaim a day
of national thanksgiving. The Pres
ident acted upon her suggestion and
Issued a proclamation "for the ob
servance of Thursday, August 1 0.
as a day of national thanksgiving,
praise and prayer."
From that time on the celebration
of the day lost its local and variable
character and took on the fitting dig
nity of a national and stable cere
mony. Lincoln's successor appointed
the last Thursday In November as
Thanksgiving day. and the date has
continued unchanged ever since.
Thanksgiving day is a legal holiday
In everv state, territory and posses
sion except Utah, where It is observed,
though not on the statute books.

LIVESTOCK

Sheep Are Particularly
Subject to Parasites
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Sheep probably suffer more from
parasites than do any other kind of
live stock, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture In a publica
tion Just issued entitled "Farmers'
Bulletin 1330, Parasites and Parasitic
Diseases of Sheep," by Maurice C. Hall
of the bureau of animal industry. Most
of our losses in sheep, mutton, and
wool are from animal parasites, as
sheep suffer comparatively little from
bacterial diseases, it Is said. Lambs
and young animals are most suscepti
ble to parasites and suffer from them.
Special emphasis is placed in the
bulletin upon disease prevention. It
Is the sheepman's business to prevent
disease, and as soon as an outbreak
Is noticed a competent veterinarian
should be called In. Act promptly, the
department urges, to. ascertain the
trouble when sheep become unthrifty.
A postmortem examination of one of
the sick animals may disclose the trou
ble and save others. Parasitized ani
mals usually do not have fever ? they
are unthrifty, and unthriftiness may
go on to emaciation with a fatal ter
mination.
Pasture rotation, use of forage crops,
feeding from racks or bare floors,
draining or filling swamps, and re
straint of wandering dogs are meas
ures the department recommends as
being of value in parasite control. It
points out emphatically that perma
nent pastures perpetuate parasites.
Parasite eggs pass In the manure,
usually. The disposal of the manure
determines the fate of these eggs,
whether they find their way back Into
the animals and hatch out or not.
Copies of the bulletin may be had
without cost, as long as the supply
lasts, by writing to the Department of .
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
Better Lambs Campaign
Is Winner in Kentucky
Kentucky Is leading the eastern
sheep-producing states in a campaign
to eliminate the "buckv" lamb, accord
ing to reports to the bureau of agri
cultural economics of the Department
of Agriculture. This Is the third season
that the campaign has been carried on
by the state extension agents and, as a
result, It Is estimated that more than
200,000 docked wether and ewe lambs
will be marketed from Kentucky this
year. The high quality of these lambs
already has attracted the attention of
many eastern buyers, who are going
Into the state and buying direct from
the producers instead of waiting for
the lambs to arrive at the central mar
kets. A number of public auctions
have been held, with the highest bid
frequently within 50 cents per 100
pounds of the top at the leading east
ern markets the same day.
Losses from docking and castration
have been very small. The greatest
advantage frm eliminating the j
"bucky" lamb, according to members j
of the trade anl marketing specialists, i
is In reducing the number of seconds
and culls In the market receipts. It Is i
estimated that from one-third to one
half more lambs can be handled in the
future than are now sold, because of
the Improvement In the supply.
i
Potatoes Particularly
Valuable for Fattening i
"Potatoes are particularly valua^e |
for fattening pigs," says Austin A. j
Dowell, live-stock extension specialist ;
with the University of Minnesota. ;
"They should be cooked, the water j
discarded, then mixed with grain at
the rate of three parts potatoes to one j
part of the concentrates. Prepared in j
this way they may be fed liberally to j
fatten rpigs or sows with litters. Raw ;
potatoes may be fed in limited quanti- I
ties to mature and Idle brood sows. If |
fed to pregnant sows, they should be i
cooked and fed In relatively small !
quantities."
' Mr. Dowell says thafc raw potatoes
are often readily eaten by cattle,
horses and sheep. Fed In larpe quan
tities to dairy cattle they are likely to
taint the milk and produce a white
salve-like butter. Another reason why
potatoes should not be fed too freely,
says Mr. Dowell, Is because they con
tain a poisonous material called solan
ine. The sprouts carry this substance
In relatively large quantities and
should be removed before feeding.
Lambing Time Is Looked
Upon as One of Troubles
Lambing time Is looked upon by
many flock owners as one of difficulty.
? It Is a very I important season for the
shepherd and the degree of success j
through the lambing season largely j
determines the profit or loss from ft j
flock. Cared for properly after they are
bred, very Jlttle trouble will be ex
perienced at lambing time.
Fall Pig Ration Giving
Most Lucrative Results
One ration which has given good re
sults' In the fall pig feeding is com
posed of 50 pounds of corn, 50. pounds
of middlings and 10 pounds of tank
age. Another used successfully is
made up of 10 parts of corn and 1 of
tankage. Fifty pounds of corn, 50
pounds of shipstuff and 10 pounds of
tankage "also makes a good ration
while 8 parts of corn and 1 part of
?oy betps may be used for a fourth.
