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?.

Copyright, 192J. Western Newspaper Union. ? F* SwtCt 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. ttfiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiuiimiiu Observance of j Thanksgiving |j * < i <i ?? I <> ? > = 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. UNSPOKEN THANKSGIVING A *.unny face It an unspoken Thanksgiving. LIVESTOCK i NEWS 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.
