THANKSGIVING CUSTOMS
The old Thanksgiving period was
.one of a threefold character—
sports, feasting and religion. One
famous custom was the Thanksgiv
ing raffle, always held on Thanks
giving eve. Turkeys, geese and
chickens were raffled off and the
event was attended with keen zest
and excitement. Another feature
was the shooting match usually
held in the morning and therefore
not approved by the Church. In
this contest the marksmen fired at
chickens, turkeys, geese, etc., and
the fowls selected for the occasion
were always the toughest that
could be procured so that the
match would last longer, for the
shooting must go on until the fowl
was dead and tough ones could
withstand a great deal of shot.
The Yankee Thanksgiving was
the one time in the year when the
hard, gloomy religious life relaxed
a bit and the feast was looked for
ward to all the year with an ex
citement which has now entirely
disappeared. Every table, whether
rich or poor, had its feast in vary
ing degrees of sumptuousness.
In later years Thanksgiving Day
was the fashionable day to make
calls. Receptions were held and the
Thanksgiving ball was popular. It
was good form for the gentle folk
to keep open house on that day.
Another strange way of cele
brating the day was known in some
sections until very recent times,
and that was to dress up in fan
tastic costumes and parade through
the town. These “ragamuffin”
parades have fallen into disuse.
Prizes were distributed among the
paraders and there were among
them local statesmen as well as
small boys and ragamuffins.

Treated Posts
Last Longer
By treating with coal-tar creo
sote, short-lived woods such as
soft maple, beech, sweet gum,
jroung or sap pine, and oak may be
made more durable for use as posts
and poles on the farm. The longer
life of the treated wood and the
possibility of using some of the
cheap and inferior kinds more than
offset the cost of treatment, says
the Forest Service. Timber should
bfc peeled 3 or 4 months before
treatment and should become thor
oughly seasoned. Keep the butts
of the posts for 1 or 2 hours in
creosote heated to 180 degrees to
220 degrees Fahrenheit, treating
the wood to about a foot above
where it will meet the surface of
the ground. In a southern climate.
/ the whole post should then be put
into cold oil, 80 degrees to 100 de
grees Fahrenheit for 1 or 2 hours.
In northern climates, where decay
is less rapid, the cold treatment is
applied usually to the butts only,
the tops being treated by painting
or dipping in cresote.

The war time army with the
order of the day “ten thousand
strong by January 1, 1931.”
Join the legion now! I feel that
several names are omitted in this
list. It was compiled and given
to me by the executive committee
man from this district hence the
possibility of being incomplete. If ,
you will give me your names, I will j
get them published in a later edi
tion, and have them recorded i
along with the rest with the clerk
of the court of the county, and also
they will be sent to the adjutant
general of the State, ih order to
get the list completed in full.

Fall or spring plowing is recom
mended by entomologists of the tj.
S. Department of Agriculture as an
efficient way of controlling grass
hoppers. It is usually much
easier to combat grasshoppers in
'.he egg or nymph stage than in the
adult stage. Egg-infested fence
rows and stubble land and the
ground around old straw stacks
should be plowed. Good summer
fallow of grasshopper-infested land
in stubble, or of grasshopper-in
fested land grown up to Russian
thistles, also greatly reduces the
grasshopper hazard, say the en
tomologists.

Tomatoes, fresh, raw, or canned,
are a good source of vitamins A.
B. and C. Include them very fre
quently in your menus. Give to
mato juice to young children and
even to babies.
Immunization is the only known
means of preventing hog cholera,
according to Dr. U. G. Houck, hog-
cholera expert of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. This preven
tive treatment is especially im
portant when there is an outbreak
of the disease in a community. In
cases where the vitality of the
hogs in a herd has been lowered
by insufficient feeding, parasites,
inclement weather, or subvirulent
diseases, it may be advisable to
give the serum alone to protect the
animals temporarily and then give
the virus-serum treatment after
they have regained normal con-
ity.

The best time of year to se
breeding turkeys is in Noverr
or December, before most of the i
are sold for the Thanksgiving :•
Christmas markets. Good breed
have large frames, a broad ba
and deep body with full, we -
rounded breast. Other points • f
importance are a full, bright e r ■„
a broad head, and stout legs .v ;
well apart and not too long. Ab r ?
all, choose birds that are vigoroi*
In the North, turkeys need cover I
roosting sheds during the wint r
dition, says Doctor Houck. Hogs months. They can stand conside^'-
should be immunized at the first able cold but should not be expos-
sign of hog cholera in a commun- ed to dampness.
