To Keen Pumpkins,

Many lovers of pumpkin pies object
to the fiat taste of the canned article.
Pumpkins, gathered before frost is
heavy, the stem coated with ceiling
wax. and stored In a dry place can be
kept from one season to another and
the flavor is not impaired in the least.
The secret lies in gathering them be-
fore the frost and in excluding the
air by coating the stem.

The Possible Outcome.

Without in any sense being an alarm
ist il will be we'll if We face cond ition'
as they are and prepare for what may be
in store.
After many years of plenty, with abun
dant harvests on every hand, we have
for the past two years, met some adverse
conditions, notably in the cutting of OF
the hay crops. This spring everything
has been untimely 40 that in some way,
We are one month ahead of a norma
year. At the same time because oi
light rainfall and little snow the lakes
and ponds of central Maine are way be-
low their usual spring levels, indicating
shortage of water in the ground
Without borrowing trouble in the least
it will be we'll that We recognize the sit
uation and prepare for q possible con
tingency. More land is under the plow
in Maine to-day than in any previous
year and this suggests the utilization OF
a good portion for the growing of forage
crops with which to supplement q POS
sible light hay crop. All over Maine
men are paying from eighteen to twenty
five dollars for hay and the supply is
not abundant. II we get fair crop this
year these forage crops Will oy NO meane
be lost, for hay will hereafter sell at a
paying price. 1t will be we'll to provide
for u condition which certainly is threat
ed because Of the severe drouths of 1908
aud 90 and the injury done the grass
roots. II this is overcome there is no
loss and the farmers with large fields of
millet, hungarian, oats and peas, or
roots, will be the man who will carry
his stock through in best shape next
winter and at lowest cash cost.
Yearly the Farmer has been preaching
the gospel of home production In larger
measure to check the enormous drain
for western feed, but never has there
been greater cause for this earnest word
than to-day.
Grow all you can that the flocks and
herds may be increased, for prices fol
farm crops and animals will not return
to former levels. Don't neglect the op-
portunity this year to fill the barns with
forage crops and corn and SO save the
hay next winter.-Maine Farmer.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1910-05-24

had gone a ca'
ble's length. Now. here is scheme that
strikes me as workable. At any rate
II offers a forlOrn hope. There Is q
sharp bend In the creek just where the
tidal water ends. fancy the launch
will float little higher up, but We
must risk 1t. We will take her in, un-
ship the mast, tie few boughs and
vines ON the funnel, and not twenty
searchlights will find u.s."
A rumble of approving murmurs
showed that he had scotched the drag
on. He continued rapidly:
"No vessel Of deep draft can come
close In shore from the east. The
cruiser will have the Grand-pere rock
abeam within an hour, but to make
sure two of you will climb the ridge
and watch her movements. The rest
will load up every available inch OF
space with wood and water and food.
How can we win clear Of Fernando
Noronha without fuel? 1t is hun.
dred to one that the launch would not
steam twenty miles on her present
coal supply. Such as it is, we must
keep 1t for an emergency, even If we
are compelled to tear up the deck and
dismantle the cabin"
Talks like q book" snOrted Coke.
Hozler was coolly reminding them Of
those vital things which frenzy had
failed wholly to take into account.
Confidence was reborn In them.
Meanwhile here was the launch
thrusting her nose into the mud and
shingle Of this malevolent island.
To hts further annoyance, San Bena-
vides, who depended on his compatriot
for a summary Of the latest scheme,
asked Iris to accompany De sylvia and
himself to the hut.
"They are stupid creatures, these
peasants" he said. when they see
you they will not be frightened"
There was so much reason In the
statement that Iris was ready volun'
teer. Soon all hands were at work,
and it was due to the girls forethough'
that strips Of linen were procured from
Luisa Gomez and healing herbs ap'
piled to the cuts and bruises OF the In
jured men. Sylvia was for leaving
the two soldiers on the island, but
