Washington, Oct. 29.—President Roosevelt today issued his procla- mation designating Thursday, Nov. 27, as a day of Thanksgiving. The proclamation is as follows: According to the—yearly cus- tom of our people,it falls upon the president at this season to appoint a day of festival and thanksgiving to . God. Over a century and a quarter has passed since this country took its place among the nations of the earth, and during that time we have ‘on the whole more to be thankful for than ever.’ Genera- tion after generation has grown to manhood and passed away. Each has had to bear its peculiar bur- dens, each to face its special crisis, and each has known years of grim trial, when the coontry was mer- aced by malice, domestic or for- eign; when the hand of the Lord was heayy upon it in drouth or flood or pestilence; when in bodily distress and anguish of soul it paid ithe penalty of folly and a froward heart. Nevertheless, decade by decade, we have struggled onward and upward. . We now abundantly enjoy material well being and un ider the favor of the Most High We are striving earnestly to achieve moral and spiritual uplifting. The year that has just closed has been one of peace and of overflowing plenty. Rarely bas any people en- joyed greater prosperity than we are now enjoying For. _ this We render heartfelt and solemn thanks to the Giver of Good, and We seek to praise Him, not by J words only, but’ by deeds. by the | “In witness*whereof I have here- way in which we do our duty to ourselves and and to our fellow men, Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, do hercby designate as a day of general thanksgiving, Thars- day, the 27th day of November, and do recommend that through- out the land the people cease from their ordinary occupations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks unto Al- mighty God for the manifold bless- ings of the past year, = © unto set-my: hand and caused the seal of the United states to be af- fixed.

A test designed te develop the com- parative merits of silage and shock corn for wintering calves lutended for beef production is believed by Profess- or Mumford of the Illinois station to indicate that there are at least nolne advantages of a system of silage feed- tug over that of shock corn in the wia- tering of calves intended for beef pro- duction. First.—The corn can be hauled from the field and stored in the silo at a time when Ittile damage Is done to the soll by getting’ on the laud when it ts too wet. “ Becond.—The manure and litter incl. dent to the feeding of steers where sl- lage 1s used are in much more conyen- lent form to handle and probably more readily available as plant food than where shock corn Is fed. Third.—The quality of silage and the cost and conveulence of feeding is but little, if any, affected by bad weather, which in Iinols so frequently makes it next to impossible to feed shock corn to advantage. Fourth.—The calves in the spring are in better thrift and Mesh. Fifth.—More rapid gains can be se cured. Bixth.—In case of“ an epidemic of cholera or other contagious swine dis- order the pigs as a factor In econom- ileal production of beef may be elim- inated without any considerable loss, which wonld be impossible in case of steers feeding on shock or whole corn. Berenth.—More pounds of meat can be produced per acre where silage is fed to steers than where shock corn le used, even though the greater amount of pork produced in case of a system of shock corn feeding is taken into account. Eighth.—A much larger proportion of the meat produced is beef. Ninth.—The corn may be harvested earlicr in the season, generally before danger of frosts and at a season, In Illinois at least, when other farm work is not pressing. In speaking of the ad- rantages of the silo it should not be overlooked that silage may be stored for late summer feeding when pas tures are often short and thenew corn crop is too immature to feed to good advantage. The Disn@vantages of Silage. The disadvantages of feeding silage appear tobe: ; Firgt.—That in feeding equal — ages of corn in -ailage and as shoc’ corn a greater acreage of crops other than corn is required to supplement silage than «shock corn. This is an item that cannot consistently be over- looked, as economical beef production im the corn belt involves the utilization of as large a proportiouate amount of corn as posqjble, Nevertheless, when we consider the ultimate effect upon the fertility of the soil, the clover acre- age, at least, may very profitably be increased. Becond.—It is believed that warmer quarters must be provided for. silage ‘fed steers than for those receiving shock corn. Third.—A..system of feeding steers on silage involves more capital and labor. Before attempting to draw final con- clusions from experiment as to the value of on beef production the reader should bear in mind that wintering calves is but one factor in beef production. How to Pickle Mushrooms. MILK AND CREAM. “Standardizing” aw a Means of Jus- thee to Producer and Consamer, Selling milk by measure alone is un. Just to the producer as well as the consumer... While the fallacy of this system is apparent to a few, the ma- jority of people seem to think that “milk is milk” and that one quart is worth as much as another as long ag it ie sweet, according to W, J. Fraser! of the Illinois station. And Fraser further says as to this matter: exist, make the sale of milk coming direct from some individual cows that give milk low tn fat unlawful, while it is iu reality good, wholesome milk and & perfectly legitimate product when sold at its proper price. But, what ts even worse, this’ #ystem prevents the man who preducté Meh milk from get- ting the price he should, aceording to its food value and cost of production. Milk containing a high per cent of tut ig not only worth more for food, but it costes more to produc® than milk con- taining a low per cent of fat, and the price should be governed by ita com- position and food value and not by its bulk. Before there was a ready meana of determining the coniposition of milk these difficulties could pot well be overcome, and providing city standards was about all that could be done, But since the invention of the Babcock test by Dr, Babcock of the Wisconsin station, by this test and lactonicter and at slight expense and trouble it la now a siniple matter to determine ac- curately the amount of fat and solids not fat-iv any milk, How to Standardize, Since fat in milk is the most varia- ble constituent, the other solids retain. ing fairly constant, standardizing milk is a comparatively simple matter. All that is necessary is to add or remove a certain amount of butter fat, which la easily done a Weans Of the centrif- ugal separator or by. letting tbe cream rise by gravity. While it is true that milk from individual cows varies somewhat from day to day, the mixed milk of a herd that is milked at regu- lar times each day wil) be practically constant for that herd, because al) of the cows will not test bigh or low on the same day. By testing the milk of a herd cecasionally the per cent of fat in the milk omy be known at all imes with reasonable accuracy, to gether with the amount of skitamilk that should be added or removed to bring it to the proper standard. If the separator does good work and the amount of milk bandied is small so that it does got warraut testing every Gay; it amy be rtinvéry close to the desired per cent of fat by testing once & week, #0 n# to be sure that it is up to the required standard. Where the quantity of milk bandied is large it la more economical to run tests fre- quently and keep the fat at exactly the desired per cent. Even If the per cent of fat varies but slightly it makes & great difference in profit in the courre of the year In a large business. The only apparatus necessary to atandafdize milk is a crenm separetor and a milk test, For dairymen han- dling bat a small amount of milk the saine results may be accomplished by setting the milk for a time and skim- ming off the creani. Ip this case all that {is neccasary Is a Babcock test. In this work skimmilk containing no fat must be added or removed. If the skimmilk used contains fat, prop- er allowance must be made according to the amount of fat contained or the results will obviously be different. Water cannot be used to dilute the milk or the per cent of solids not fat will be reduced. The Dairyman's Interest, A law compelling a man ‘to stand- ardise the milk avd creum he aclla would result 16 justice to both pro ducer and consumer. All dairymen would then receive the legitimate price for their product according to its food value and cost of production and would not be selling 6 per cent milk in competition with 8 per cent milk and for the same price per quart. Dates of Marvesting Sugar Beets. The Michigan station between Sept. 11 and Nov. 16 last seasou, the latter date being practically the end of the harvest, sampled sugar bects from plantings of various dates, and some interesting relations were traced be- tween. the dates of heaviest rainfall and the rise and fall in percentage of sugar, The low Jipe of figures recorded for the period between Oct. 14 to Oct 25 was probably caused by heary rains and cloudy weather. The low percentage of the earlier planted beets is coupled with leaf blight, The first week in November shows the highest percentage of sugar in the bects, De- perture from this date eliber way shows a gradual decrease, though weather conditions modify somewhat this general statement. Armeby and Hesse, in Pennsylvania, found that 129 samples harvested before Noy. 1 yield- ed 11.48 per cent sugar, while 82 sam- ples harvested after Nov. 1 averaged 18.18 per cent sugar.

They Are Fine Birds, Though Net Equal In Weight to the Embdens. These are the pride of France, From them comes the pate de fole gras, so much enjoyed as a delicacy by the gor- mands of the world. They gain their name from the tity of the same name in southern France, but like the Hou-+ dan and other fowls of France the Toulouse geese in their native land aro | eulttvated purely for market purposes, {The finish for exhibition—fine feathers and increased size—has come under the handling of the Englisthand Amer- jean fanciers. Mr. Lewis Wright tells us that the goose ts the result of breed- | img and feeding up the graylag and selecting the Jargest and, darkest col- ored specimens, Mies Carnpain of England writes as follows: “It 49 twenty years since 1 started breeding geese. For years I have been an exbibitor of Toulouse and win my full share of prizes. I started with a pair « the finest to be A PAIN OF TOULOUSE GEESE. obtained, the gander a very long bird, the goose remarkable for color, very wide dupe aud not showing the least tinge.of brown in plumage, but a beau- tiful silvery gray.” Size and this bean- tiful silvery gray color free from any discoloration are most linportant fen- tures for the exhibition Toulouse, None can be mort attractive than they when of bigh quality, large size and rich color. They more than any other goose bave gained the admiration of visitors to the showroom. The looser plumage of the Toulouse adds to thelr apparent size, while, i» fact, they are usually under the weight of the best Embden. Records show that at Birmingham Toulouse ganders have weighed thirty-six and thirty- eight pounds each and ranged from fifty-two to alxty-two and a half pounds per pair, but the general aver age of the White Embden has been the best and most regular, and, while the show weights of the present do not equal-the above becarise tlicy have quit showthg Them fn a fattened condition, the average is in favor of the Embden if of the same age. “What Ie an Expert” “You often spenk of expert poultry- men,” says a correspondent. “Now please tell ue—what Is av expert?’ We must confess that the question came with something of a shock, for really it never heretofore occurred to us that any one who knew the meaning of the common word “expert” would not know what was meant when it was used to describe a poultryman, But as we think it over In the light of some discussions recently taking ~ place in our columns It docs not seem so strange that some confusion should exist. Properly rpeaking, an expert poultry- ing have qualified bim-for some branch of poultry keeping. Such a man is au expert In lis particular line, Some are expert in several lines, If there Js one who may fairly claim to be expert in all lines, be has not yet been located, But some recent communications ap- pearing in these coluwns have treated of “experts” as a species of parasites among poultrymen. Some of our corre spondents have had dealings with men who professed experience and skill they did not possess, and so seem to bare arrived at the conclusion that none of those claiming to be accomplished poultrymen is so In reality. Thus it has happened that the term “expert poultrymau” has sometimes appeared fe @ derogatory pbhrase.—Farm Poul- Poultry Manure, As is well kuown, poultry manure ts one of the best nd strongest fertilizers extant, says a writer In an exchange. During the warm weather, bowever, which is not too favornble for the keeping of this manure, as it paris very rapidly with its ammonia, it fa not advisable to keep it separate frons the other manures, It will be more economical and serviceable either to use it Immediately or to mix it with the stable manure. The dropping from growing animals or birds is not so ral- uable as that frot matured stock, so that the autumn or winter is a better time to story up the poultry droppings. A very good way fn summer to dispose of it is by making it into a liquld ma- nure and watering fruit trees, flowers and vegetables all into the roots. Poultry at St. Louis. J, A. Leland, Springfield, [).; Henry Bteinmesch, St. Lomis, Mo.; 1. K. Feleh, Natic, Mass. and L. N. Cobbledick, Oakland, Cal, are a committee on poultry, pigeons and pet stock at the ft. Louis fair in 1904. Sixty thousand dollars has been allotted to. this de- partment, aud the committee feels this will enable it to make the largest, finest and fest exhibit in this line that has ever been seen in the world. The entry fee will be small and the premiums large. ooo Mustard For Roup. Mustard is an excellent. roup cure, says. California Fanciers’ Monthly.
