labor and it to estimate that this premier gold mine of the Domin ion is adding lo its ore reserves at an average rate of upwards of half a million dollars per month Herald Thanksgiving Day instead of being devoted to thanksgiving is for the most part given over lo holidaying and mer rymaking by the vast majority of the people Those who stop to express gratitude for Ibe bounty of Providence do so on he Sun day preceding the holiday In Ibis respect hey resemble the boy who said all his prayers a week ahead so hat he would have more lime for baseball The Government does its part by des ignating a day for national thanksgiving but public seem to have got into the of re garding it merely as the- last respite from work to be enjoyed until the Xmas season It is probable that the substitution of Monday for Thursday as Thanks giving Day in keeping the wishes of the commercial tra vellers helps lo popularize the festival as a day of pleasuretak ing rather than of thanks to the Almighty 0O0-i- v happenings yuporslUions and grotesque fancies Natures voice Is dumb and face is veiled with a soft and haze that adds a feeling of uneer- lainty as to what she is about to do The whole natural world is in a stale of hushed and it no wonder that the feeling culminated with our an cestors in a festival of tradi tions and mystic observances- Halloween The name All Hal low Day was given by ifacefV lo the first of November in celebration of conversion of the Pantheon at Home into a place of Christian worship On that day all Ibe saints were wor shipped in whose honor particu lar days had not been set aside popular observance of day however long preceded its tin a festival of he church It was one or the four great festival occasions of our pagan ancestors and even ing before was given up to fanci ful and strange customs and practices I It was a time when spirits were to wain abroad and Urn power of witches was at height offset by the efforts- of good fairies who strove lo shield men from the powers of mischief In consequence all the practices were gone through with the feel ing mixed of joyous anticipation and fear Scotland and bonfires vero lighted In every vil lage and each member of a fam ily placed a marked stone there in When the Are had burned out the condition of the stone foretold the future of the persons who had put it there If injured or moved the person was destin ed

rapidly and each one is given a chance to catch the ap ple with the teeth without the use of hands Those and many other customs have cojnc down to us and are practiced in our own country Halloween brings lo mind rooms brightly lighted with open fires gay with the laughter of young people as their fortunes are old or their success in the games is varied with failure But the phase of Halloween observances which the most universal and with which we are most familiar is that which oc cupies the allcrition of the small hoy It is he lime of all times thai js dear to him when his In nate love of mischief and ro mance finds expression For days before preparations are secretly made by the members of the gang Bean blowers are pur chased and quantities of beans and peas are laid away for use on the great occasion Cabbages pumpkins turnips potatoes and other vegetables are collected with which to batter house doors and arouse unsuspect ing occupants When the ev ening conies bonfires are to be seen in every quarter and the pleasant smell of burning leaves is in the air Supper is hurri edly dismissed and the small boys steal out to gather at some dark Corner in easy reach of all Then the sport begins Front doors are the recipients of cabbages and potatoes hurled by the youth ful Showers of beans and rice rattle against the window panes Nails manipulat ed by strings from concealed quarters cause weird mysteri ous noises on doors and windows Bells ring and when is no one in sight up and down the street yet showers of grain from nowhere greet the wondering householder or great grinning features of a Jaek- laugh at him from the gale post Away down the street may ho heard notes of a la horn then several of them In ev ery direction Gradually they grow nearer and finally the gang sweeps past doing mischief in sight of anyone Again a chorus of horns is sounded and when the fn house goes to door for second lima no one in near put front lying at his upon the porch chase is high and going higher When lop notch will be reach ed no one seems lo know In comparing present prices with prices of we find that grain and mill feeds have increased labor and hard find thai while milk at per can has only increased and even the winter price of per can asked would not leave a fair mar gin of profit lo the producer Milk is absolutely essential to the human race It must be pro duced and all should hear in mind that unless a reasonable profit is assured dairy farmers will turn their attention to some thing else such as raising and pork production Over in Britain food control has so work ed against the dairyman that dif ficulty is found in getting enough rnilk In New York dairy farmers were so drilled down in the price of milk that they were driven out of the business Con sequently buyers from that stale are corning to Eastern Ontario and offering a for milk which is equivalent to per can A continuance of such an agitation here without understanding the matter may soon have the same effect upon Ontario producers A consideration of he by hose who understand the and difficulties of presentday dairying will reveal the fact that the dairymen are not asking prices in per can What does it cost to feed a dairy cow per year present feed prices We are safely with in the mark when we say any where from to In the 0 A herd of 3i cows were fed on an average of per head when feed was 50 lower than this year This would mean a cost of- about per hear this year Some may not feed so well as the A oth ers better but is certainly a low estimate to put the cost of feeding a dairy cow at present feed prices Let us suppose she is an aver- ago cow giving pounds of milk or around gals per year At price for an 8gal can she would yield exactly SI but it cost per can to deliver the milk or so that the producer if he figured his feed al market prices and counted nothing for labor interest on investment or depreciation would be out of pocket 910 on his average cow His only hope is to breed and feed cows which are above aver age producers Even the price per can the average cow would only gross or after delivery charges wore paid Utile more than pay for her feed if it required only to feed her which we doubt Milk should bo worth at least per can this winter with feed so high or it isnt worth- the producers while to put In long days feeding and milking In conclusion
