A GREAT ECONOMY.

A Farmer Who Thinks Hay Covers Al
most Indispensable in Putting Up Hay.
Hay caps pay we'll. I have used them
fol-: several years, and would as soon
think of getting hay without a moving
machine as without hay covers. There
are times when they are not needed,
and, of course, will not be used, but no
farmer is fully equipped for haying
without them. In a season like last
year they were found indispensable.
Hundreds and thousands of tons of hay
will be badly injured without them this
year, and this, besides the delay of
cutting the grass when it ought to have
been cut, and could have been secured
with the needed protection. To be
good Judge of the weather is a splendid
qualification. but few men can tell the
amount of sunshine to be depended
upon when they enter their fields. With
the aid OF covers l have cut IS tons of
hay and 80 tons Of rowen from 43 acres
of land without getting it wet at all,
and could but pity my brother farmers
all about me, to see their delay, with
hay spelling, simply for want of protec
ton. l have seen acres of nice grass
cut and allowed to rot on the ground for
want of covers
Some may ask: Will not the hay mold

A Happy Medium.


For the past twenty-five years the
American horse breeders have been bent
upon the production of two extremes
the heavyweight draft horse and the
lightweight, low-striding trotter. These
both have their useful spheres, but in
the mad and indiscriminate rush for
their acquisition there mas been pro-
duced on the one hand too many big,
lifeless fat-footed, soft jointed bullocks
with legs full Of coarse hair, Of little
utility and short-lived; and on the other
handf we have a~small, short-necked,
narrow-chested, nervous little trotter
whose ability to trot is only demon
strated after the expenditure of snug
little sum Of money, and which if he
can not trot and trot fast is of very lit
tie use to the farmer who has raised
him. and must be kept at further ex-
pense until he can be marketed as q
roadster at about six years of age. The
breeding of the typical trotting horse
for profit is very dangerous business
for the general farmer to embark in ex-
cept he be unusually we'll posted in ped
igrees and possessed of considerable
spare capital. Progressive breeders hav,
begun to realize these two dilemmas
and they are casting about for the mate

SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

The Act of the legislature of Minne-
sofa of March 5, 1887 to promote public
school libraries permits districts to re-
ceive from the state treasury sum
equal to half the amount they expend
for the purpose provided that not more
than twenty dollars be paid any district
the first year, nor more than ten dollars
the second year, nor more than five dol
lars the third year. To obtain benefit
of the act the district must have pur-
chased books on the school library cata-
logue and procured book case for their
care. AS only few hundred out Of the
six thousand districts have Libraries it
might be advisable for some Of them to
consider this subject at their annual
meeting the last Saturday in July.

POCAHONTAS NO. 2.

She Was q Cabassas Beauty and Known
as Schools.
1t is generally known that in 1914
fame, made trip to what is now
Gardiner, Me-, but there was an Incl
dent that occurred during that visit
that is known by very few people. The
incident in question resembles very
closely that of the Indian maiden Po-
cohontas that has been handed down to
posterity. -
At the time of Smiths visit here the
valley of the Cobbossee-contee stream,
which at this point joins it's water with
the Kennebec river, was inhabited by
powerful and intelligent branch of In
dians called Cabassas, belonging to the
Kennebec clan, which was in turn one of
the tribe Of Abenakies. The Cabassas
were presided over by a chief, having
headquarters at what is now Gardiner.
known as Cabassa, who had daughter
named Schools, famed among her tribe
for her beauty and grace. She was, UNI
fortunately, smitten at once with the
gallant Captain, who was, by the way,
the first white man to visit these parts,
and who was received with great cor
diality. Smith had with him Lieu
tenant named Hunt, who was of rather
quarrelsome disposition and prone to
mutiny. 4
When the time came for the party of
whites to depart Hunts mutinous spirit
showed itself, and with small party of
followers he left Smith, going in an OPP
posite. direction. His party took with
them as captives several of the tribe Of
Cabassas.
The chief considering the whites one
party, by great mistake followed Cap
tain Smiths loyal band, which camped
that night about four miles from the
present location of Gardiner, in an east
erly direction. Schools thinking to
warn the Captain hurried on before the
party of enraged Indians, but arrived
too late, for as she arrived at the camp
the first volley of arrows was delivered.
Thinking to save Smith, she fed to
him, threw her arms. about his neck,
and in that position received an arrow
in the breast that caused instant death.
The chief was palsied at the accident,
and ordered hostilities to cease. This
allowed Smith an opportunity to ex-
plain that it was the other party that
had perpetrated the kidnapping.
After a sorrowful return and the
burial of Schools near the Randolph
church, opposite this city, the party of
red men went in search of Hunt. He
was overtaken near Norridgewock and
his band exterminated to man.
Captain Smith had the martyred Sc
boots to thank for his life, for the arrow
that reached her heart was meant for
him. The grave of Schools is unmarked;
in fact, it's exact location is unknown

What stimulus had the women at home?
Nothing but their own love, and faith,
and loyalty. In the silence of the day,
and the still more awful stiffness of the
night, they held their hearts from
breaking, during four long years of
anxiety for father, brother, lover, son,
fighting battles Ave hundred miles
away. Many of them went down to the
field, that they might nurse and cherish
and comfort the sick and wounded men.
They walked the hospitals absolutely
fearless of the fever and the pestilence.
Those who stayed at home spent all the
time they could in contriving and pre-
pairing delicacies and comforts for the
soldiers in the field. They used to send
US hundreds of useful and useless things,
some of which we got. can appreciate
