Thanksgiving day is the only one of our general holidays which may be said to be unique. The truth of this asserton is realized when we recall the almost unl- versal observance of Christmas, Easter and New Year's day Kven Independence day has its prototype on the caler dars of other lanés. But Thanksgiving @istinetly an American holiday, without its counterpart among other nations.

Similar observances aré In vogue in Japan and fn China at the close of a successful harvest.

This ceremony is followed by the feast, a tender roast kid or “fatted calf,” eaten with thin pleces of board used as | spoons. With a parting prayer the ob- servance ends. Primitive Observance.

The lettuce which ac- companies the tomatoes from the Long Island farms is grown under salt hay and is said to have a particularly erisp air| about it. Just at present the endive is the popular foundation for the salad and this must come from the French markets. The winter vegetables are as appetizing to the sight as they promise to be to the palate. Turnips, squashes, carrots, pars- nips and s alled Spanish onions, many of which come from Italy, vie in fresh- ness and attraction with hothouse rivals, There are mounds of Indian river grape | fruit selling at from 15 to 30 cents apiece. | There are even a few of the Golden Queen watermelons in some Rochester gar- den amid sheltered conditions, which are sald to have finest flavor of any. Native celery, exhaling a pungent odor, is on sale at 35 cents a stalk, and that of the Kalamazoo variety, which s now scarce, brings a higher price. California artichokes make a brave struggle against thelr imported rivals, but the truthful sales man admits that the heart of the former is not so thick and luscious as the French and that while the amateur, newly intro- duced to this luxury, may be decelved the knowing cannot be taken in by any his natural penmanship, but he writes ‘and |oval and tinted color of an Italian sunset. wife' as if he though we were on, wonder- | fair external appearance. The taste for artichokes like that for olives is diffi- cult to acquire and difficult to break, and the adept is willing to be a slave and to pay the $3 a dozen for the best rather than a paltry 15 or 20 cents aplece for the in- | ferior article. All these jams are sold at cents a glass, at least twice the price demanded | for the native products similarly prepared; whether they are really superior or not each housekeeper has to prove for herself, but it she have scuples, she had better resist the little table where samples are erved the visitors.

The decorations of the Thanksgiving} table follow the season's ruling, and the autumn leaves, chrysanthemums and ber- ries ard popular to the exclusion of more delicate trimmings. A table arranged by a professional decorator, had only a larged pumpkin of deeply golden tint in the center, This was scooped out and held a pro- fusion of selected fruits, grapes, pears, red- cheeked apples, oranges and flawless pears. At each plate a tiny pumpkin had the name card pinned across it and a chrysan- themum In its top > Another table had only autumn leaves, but each one was a lovely color and strewn about the white damask and gathered in @ big cluster for the center with scar- let berries interspersed made a charming picture.

When George Ade, gentleman farmer, laid aside his pen long enough to give a barbecue at his Indlana farm last year, bis orchard became a park for automobiles. In that portion of rural Indiana there were more automobiles than horse-drawn vehicles.

In many places through- out the country one may see mowers and other light machinery hitched to an auto- mobile and ‘driven around the field at hustling gait. Women are using them to take their butter, eggs and chickens to market, and their milk cans to the cream- ery. Farmers may be hauling their veal calves and lambs to market on them. And after thelr day on the road Is over their usefulness s not at end. Not long ago a western farmer bought a second- hand machine, used it until it would not run any longer and then he bought a new one—for be it sald that the man who has once had an automobile and 4 tele- phone will never do without either. His 15-year-old son took the engine out of the old machine and hitched it to the churn, saving much elbow grease. Then he used it for the corn sheller, the washing ma chine, the feed cutter.

A western ranchman has given the automobile a thorough trying out In cattle herding and also in sheep herding and pronounces it an unqualified success. A recent automobile journal prints some Pictures of the new ovangel of cattle herde motor ing.
