Second only to the Harvard-Princet
clash is that OF Carlisle and 'Pennsyl-
vania next Saturday on Franklin Field.

opportunity Of scalping the palefaces,
too, for Penn is playing poor football
this year.
Sixteen games have been played be-
tween these two aggregations. Penn
sylvania has won ten. tied one. and lost
five. Frequently the Indians have
rushed out on Franklin Field confident
Of victory, only to fall most ingloriously
before the sturdy Quakers. Penn has
risen to the occasion when opposed to
Carlisle, even as she has when battling
Cornell .
In 1899 Carlisle won its first game
from Penn by q score of l6 to s. In 1S01
q lone touchdown decided the victory
for the Redmen, Penn falling to score.
The following year 1t was a 16-to-6 VIC

Frank Mt. Pleasant, the most famous

aborigines were not to be stopped In

passes travelled fully forty yards. there

Harvard Spoils Browns
Fine Record-Indians
Score Many Points.

West Point is the only flrst-class
eleven yet to escape having its goal
line crossed. Harvard and Princeton
have been scored on, and Yale and
Penn have suffered defeat. Until Sat-
urday last Brown had been unbeaten,
and it's goal line had not been passed.
The huge Harvard eleven dabbed the
brush across that clean slate in no un-

Following are the records to date Of
some of the more important elevens:

Augusta Mans Idea of Pea CULTURE.

1t is reported that one of Augustus
agriculturists who lives on the Ban
gor road has evolved a new idea in
the line of pea culture and spoke
upon it at some length the other
night at a Grange meeting The
idea is simple and may be valuable
learned it has not as yet been put to
a practical test. The man who has
the copyright of the idea said, in
speaking of it to his friends, that the
object was to secure continuous
crop of green peas from the first of
the season to the last, and in order
to do this all that was necessary was
to dig trench of the desired length
and eight inches deep, and after put
ting in a little fertilizer and earth
plant the peas and cover them with
about two inches of earth. A little
more fertilizer Is then added, also a
little earth, and then more peas are
planted These are covered as be-
fore and then third row of peas is
added and covered np. When the
peas come along, by the time that
the first lot has got through bear
ing the second lot will be ready for
use, and the third lot will be ready
to take the place of the second when
that gets through. 1t should be said,
however, that the originator of the
idea is not in favor of trying the ex-
pertinent on a very large scale at
first.

Prohibition to Remain.

A Rockland, Me-, dispatch to a
Boston paper declares that liquor sa-
looms in the open" counties will be
allowed plenty of latitude until a
short time before the special Sep
TENDER election, and then the most
drastic kind of enforcement will be
put into effect until the voters have
had chance to register their opinion
on the prohibitory amendment. The
dispatch further quotes Rev. C. E.
Owen to the Christian Civic league
as saying that the purpose of sNch
a system Is obviously to disgust GER
tain voters who do not care for IL
cense. Mr. Owen believes that par
ty lines will not be drawn in the
coming election and that many Dem
ocrats will vote and work for prohi-
bition.

SETTING AN ORCHARD.


Doubtless quite II number of our
readers will be setting an orchard for
The FIRST time this spring and few
suggestions may be helpful. With
view to saving ground the novice Of
ten makes the mistake of setting the
trees too close together. We have
known of cases where they were set
twice rs thick In the row as intended
ultimately, but the trouble with this is
that fellow seldom has the courage

has grown several years and begun
to bear 1t is better TO put the trees
the right distance apart at first, put
ting the ground between to some an
nual crop, which can be cultivated.
Twenty feet apart is about right for
peaches. twenty-five for pears and
from twenty eight to forty for apples.
depending upon the variety. For fam
ily use a selection of varieties. cou-
pie of trees each. may be made 50 as
to give fruit through as long a period
as possible. For commercial purposes
It is we'll to set but one or two stand
ard varieties II the acreage Is limited
and not more than two or three II 1t
Is considera BILE The trees should be
year old, with we'll developed 6brous
roots, which should be pruned back
carefully to a length of about eight or
nine inches. The writer has found
the easiest way to plant to drst set
three rows of sight stakes across the
field. one at each edge and one through
the middle. putting them tree distance
apart. next setting similar rows across
the field at right angles to these. With
this preparation one can sight both
ways for position In any part of the
field and set a stake accurately with
out aid of string or measuring rod.
With this method one should have the
setting board-four feet long. five inch
es wide. peg notches m inch square
cut In the center of each and notch
cut In from one side so as to give
space about an inch square at the ex-
act center OF the board. After setting
the stake where the tree Is to be slip
on the board so stake Is at center. set
stakes In end notches. remove tree
stake and board. dig hole. slip tree In.
reriace setting board and hold tree In
place In middle notch while filling In
the earth. The trees should be set FIVE
or six inches deeper than they stood
in the nursery. Within a few days
after the trees are set they should be
pruned back to a uniform height. from
eighteen to thirty inches. depending
upon whether one wishes a low or
high headed tree. However. the low
headed. open topped tree is favored by
the majority of the best orchardists
