Recent exhibitions have shown that
all the principal brwis of poultry are
well represented in Oregon, gays the '
Oreponian. But, to what extent? Not
many of us are aware that a carload of
epg-s from Minnesota is broupht into
Portland every week or two. There is !
talk among the enterprising chicken
people of Hen ton county that they will
make Corvallis the Petaluma of Ore
gon. More power to them! But they
have a long way to travel to achieve ,
it Eggs in Portland out of cold stor-,
age sell at 35 cents a dozen, and stale .
ones at that, and what are, by court
sey called ranch eggs at 40 cents.
There are those, who. by regularly
feeding ground bone from the butchers
having clean and rry poultry houses
and the exercise of fair common :
sense, not only have plenty of eggs :
to sell the Winter through, but are
making a big addition to their incomes.
If not a living off their poultry yards.
How many farmer's daughters in
Oregon get discontented on the farms
and find their way to the city or town,
to clerk in stores, to sew in a milli
ner's rooms, or to learn stenography
and typewriting? We cannot number
them. But we are discussing an in
dustry that can be followed on every
farm, that pays well on large scale or
small, that Is interesting, that has a
future to it, and that Involves nothing
that a delicate and sensitive lady can
not undertake.
How many branches it has. Here is
a little item fresh from the Lebanon
paper:
"Jacob Fitiwater brocght 29 young
turkeys to town yesterday and sold
them for $64.4S. It pays to raise tur
keys." Indeed, it does pay to raise turkeys. !
After the first three or four weeks of
livelihood, the mothers can be trusted
loose with the chicks on the grain
fields. Grasshoppers and bugs of all ;
kinds constitute the most of their :
diet No birds raised on the farm cost
less or pay better.
In the eastern counties of England,
on the fields of Normandy in France,
droves of turkeys, several hundred
strong may be seen in the early fall,
parading in open order across the bare
grainfields, in charge of a boy or girl
10 or 12 years old, armed w ith a long
hazel stick, with a strip of red flannel
tied to it, with which the movements
of the regiment are guided. '
The oniy danger in Western Oregon
with the taurkeys is that they maj .
take a fancy to roost in one's neigh-'
bor's shade trees or orchard, and, if
they do. it i3 the hardest thing to get
the" notion out of their silly heads that
what they fancy is far pleasanter than
what their owner -wants.
Crossing tame geese on the wild
goose stock has often been tried with
success. If any one takes an idea of
following Dr. Campbell's suggestion,
let him be sure to pinion the young
wild geese at an early age. Or else,
tame brought up as they may be, one
day in the Springtime they will hear
the "honk." "honk." of a band far up
in the blue, northward bound, and the
dormant impulse will outweigh all
thoughts of regular grain and a quiet
home, and the mistress will call in
vain as her ; ts spread their wile

the river estuaries of the far North.
The Dalles Chronicle tolls this story:
"Three years ago Dr. W. U. Camp
Ik'11 found a nest of 13 wild goose
eggs on the Columbia river. 15 miles
from his Cold Springs farm and. wrap
ping theni in warm sand and feathers,
he carried them home and set them
under a hen. w here they were hatched
out a week later. Every one of the 13
fggs hatched, and he raised a fine .
flock of wild geese. He crossed the
w ild geese with his tame geese at home :
and this year has some half-breeds,
which are the most beautiful and od-'
dest fowls imaginable. They stand
up erect, have considerable black on
their backs and wings and make an
outlandish noist. which Dr. Campbell
says scares his hogs off the ranch :
whenever sounded.
THE THANKSGIVING SEASON.
How Annual Feast Day Became Na
tional Holiday
A correspondent asks what deter
mines the date of Thanksgiving day
whether it is merely custom or if there ,
is some significance attached to the
fact that the last Thursday in Novem
ber is always set aside as the day for .
National thanksgiving for the bless
ings of the year, says the Oregonian. :
A day of Thanksgiving has been ob
served ever since the Pilgrim Fathers
celebrated their first harvest festival
at Plymouth Rock in 1621. but it was
not until Lincoln named the last j
Thursday in November, 1S63, as a I
day of National Thanksgiving that the
feast day became an established Na
tional event. It is true that George
Washington appointed such a day in
17S9. after the adoption of the Con
stitution, and again 1S95 for the gen
eral benefit and welfare of the nation.
President Madison doing the same In
1S13. but until Lincoln named the day
as a National holiday in 1SC3, it was
not regarded as such. Before that
date the day had been proclaimed by
Governors of colonies and later of
states, but now the President issues
the proclamation first, after which the
Governors of states follow suit.
The making of this great day a Na- '
tional holiday is directly due to the
women of America, although they '
have received but little, if any credit
for it. Sarah J. Hale, who at one time ;
edited Godey's Lady Book, started the ;
agitation in favor of this movement,
the matter being taken up by other
prominent Philadelphia and New Eng-
land women, and President Lincoln
was finally convinced by them in 1SC3
that there was enough to be thankful
for to give the day National import
ance. Other presidents have since
followed in his steps until Thanksgiv
ing Day is of as much importance to
the American people as Christmas.
Although the Pilgrim Fathers be
gan the observance of such a day as
early as IC21. the Episcopal Church
did not formally recognize the author
ity of the Civil Government to appoint
such a feast until the year 17.:. and .
it was not until the recent date of .
1SS that the Roman Catholic Church
began to honor the festival so long
and so universally observed. In col
onial days Governors used to recom
mend annual days of thanksciving for
the blessings and m-rcies of the year,
and a fa.-t day for the Spring season.
During the Revolution. Cnr.sre Per
formed this duty, and in 17s4 a day of
thanksgiving fur the return of peace
was observed by ai! the Colonies. That
it is one of the most beautiful custom-;
..?s-rved by the American peo
ple is not questiioned. and that it will
last as inns as the spirit of I'ncle sain
is abroad in the land is the wrdict of
his many loyal citizen.
