Dan Cupid has his innings while the task of gathering material for the Thanksgiving feast is temporarily forgotten. r Not All Americans Look on Day of Thanksgiving With the Pessimistic Eyes of Will Carleton Will Carleton In his verses on Captain Youngs Thanksgiving, says: Thanksgiving day, 1 tear, Jt one the solemn truth must touch, Is celebrated, not so much To thank the Lord for blessings oer As for the sake of getting more. It is the feastive day on which Little Willie, on nearing the end of a bountiful meal, will sigh, Ive pretty near reached my bust measure." And dad will again wonder why Thanksgiving day doesnt follow Christmas so he can be thankful that both pursebending days are over. It is also the season in which dogs and cats beat a tattoo on drumsticks with their teeth. Truly, a man is old when he begins to fear mince pie. What this world needs is for some one to devise a plan whereby .the bone of contention can be utilized like the Thanksgiving turkey for making hash and soup. But twas ever thus these big Thanksgiving meals. Indeed, some 140 years ago the Thanksgiving menu of which George Washington partook at Mount Vernon consisted of: Conceit- of Fresh Fruit Oyster Soup (Mrs. John Marshalls recipe black eye peas and Virginia ham knuckles added.) Roast turkey stuffed with wild rice, pulverized boiled chestnuts, artichokes. truffles, chicken livers and toasted bread crumbs, flavored with rosemary, sage and mother of thyme, larded with Virginia ham fat and basted with Madeira wine; served with bogberry sauce, fresh cauliflower and candied sweet potatoes. Old Virginia mince pie, served in flames. New coffee. Orleans old French market Mmml Those were the good old days! But, observes the Providence Bulletin : The special blessings for the sake of which children and some adult persons celebrate Thanksgiving day are transitory at best. They center round the dinner table, groaning with , good things. But even if Will Carleton thinks that most of us regard such matters as these more seriously than the finer and nobler teachings of the day, surely many of us grace the occasion with the spirit of gratitude for our blessings, and endeavor to spread this spirit by providing for the comfort and happiness of some less fortunate household than ours at this one festival of the year. It is a familiar law of nature that the more we give the more we have. This may not be true of material possessions, but It is certainly true of the things of the spirit. If we increase the sum total of others happiness we increase our own. Some dairymen are finding profitable a practice which virtually amounts to skimming the milk once, and then skimming It again and again. This is possible only In districts where butter is the principal dairy product and a quantity of skimmilk is a One way to use the by product is to feed it to the dairy cows that produced it. The cows require a protein supplement in their ration. The butter mak er, however, is interested in the fat. Ordinarily the dairyman feeds the oil meals. But skimmilk contains most of the protein which the dairy cow consumes and does not require for her maintenance. The protein is less concentrated than it is in an oil meal, but it is in an easily available form. Where skimmilk is cheap it may be an economical source of protein. Feeding tests at the University of Minnesota indicate that eight pounds of skimmilk will take the place of one pound of linseed oil meal. Knowing the local prices of meal and skimmilk, it is easy for the dairyman to calcu late which is the cheaper for him to feed. When the dairyman feeds skimmilk for its protein he sets up what amounts to a circular movement of milk from the cow to the separator and back through the cow to the milk pail. Each time as it passes through the separator he skims the cream and sends the milk back to gather more cream within the cow. ' Few cows will drink the skimmilk when it is offered to them unmixed with some other feed. The practice at the Minnesota station Was to mix the skimmilk with the grain feed in a pail and then pour it over the silage, Obviously the quantity of skimmilk that can be fed without waste depends upon the quantity of grain and upon its liquid-holdin- g capacity. On account of the fact that cows in summer often receive no silage and but little grain, and as skimmilk is very attractive to files, there is no doubt that skimmilk is more advantageously fed In the winter than in the summer. add ..

Cranberries were available In 1621, and wild turkey if the head of the house was a good marksman. There were nut trees in the woods, and wild grapes. But the stock of perishable foodstuffs was meagre. Probably grain was to be bad to supplement the small supply of Indian corn, but butter, milk and eggs were almost unheard of in Plymouth 310 years ago. Maybe they had potatoes in 1621, but if they did they came by ship. A modern expert in nutrition, given a Puritan Thanksgiving dinner to an A modern, New x ed alyze,. would have several conniption fits. Dr. Walter H. Eddy points out in Good Housekeeping that he would find flew green vegetables, no mr, a high preponderance of proteins and acid ash. Wild fruits may have helped to avert scurvy," says Doctor Eddy, but this disease was always imminent in the winter, and probably much of the winter rheumatisms were due to scorbutic joints. Pneumonia and what was called consumption wiped out whole families in old New England, Doctor Eddy points out, because the food did not have the proper vitamin content. so-call- no fun to have ice all around you and no job.

The ten high cows of the association gave an average return over feed cost of $110.54, as compared with only $3.71 for the ten low cows. It was also stated that there was a spread between the high herd of the association and the low .herd of 188 pounds of butterfat per cow for the year. Separator Profits E. T. Leavitt tells about a whole-mil- k dairyman in Illinois who bought a separator to separate his surplus milk. In the .first month he received more than in the previous $18.05 month, and had the skimmilk to feed his pigs and chickens. Interesting how that $18.05 was secured. He actually got $9.54 more for 1,673 pounds less milk sold than In the previous month, and received $8.71 . for cream from the milk withheld from market. Need we remark that a great many dairymen have this same opportunity? Charles Buhmann, Attica, Ohio, says he gets from 75 cents to $2 a pound for cream in the form of cottage cheese, buttermilk, ice cream, etc. Depression forced him into a change he has found profitable.
