Cowpeas in Corn.

The time of planting may be
from late corn planting time up to
the middle of July. When planted
as late as the middle of July, seed
cannot be matured. but when the
weather is seasonable and the soil
good, fair hay crop or a crop to
be plowed under for green manure
may be secured. When planted for
hay, they should be sown by the
first days of June CowpeaS are
warm weather plants and cannot
endure cold wet weather.
Two methods are employed-One
planting in the hills or drill row
with the corn. This is best done
with a cowpea attachment to the
planter. When planted in this man
ner it is not safe to plant too early
for the reasons above stated.
The amount Of seed per acre for
this method will vary from a gallon
to two gallons, depending an the
variety and the quality of the seed.
The WhippoorwillS are mostly
used for this method, but where the
corn is to be cut for fodder, or es-
pecially when put in the silo, the
Little Black or the Clay may be
better. These Latter two are rather
late and very heavy vines. The
peas of the Little Black are very
small, hence not so much weight or
measure of seed per acre would be
required as the larger kinds.
This method is perhaps best when
the crop is to be harvested and
stored. When the crop is to be pas
tured off with lambs or pigs, a pop
ular way is to SOW the peas between
the corn rows when the corn is laid
by. 1t will be best to lay by corn
a little earlier than would be other
wise desired, 80 the peas can get
start before the ground is shaded
too much.
The best method to plant in this
way is with one-horse grain drill.
When the seed are broadcasted
ahead of the cultivator many of
them do not get we'll covered and
are thus wasted and the price of
seed is so high that we must avoid
the waste if possible. Some drill
three and some five rows between
the corn rows New Era is the best
sort for this method Of seeding. -

To a Rose.

Harriet Lake-Burch.
i ne should ever meet again, dear
Rose.
When you have turned to dust, and
Have turned to my dust, if again
The magnets power should inter-
vene
And make your dust into Queen,
Sweet Rose,
Would you be gracious to me"then,
Admired and coveted, as when
Today you leaned into my room
And spilled your fragrance bloom
by bloom?
If you should be a Fairy Queen
And all the world a fairy scene,
Then | would be a Rose like you
AS sweet as fragrant morning dew,
And | would lean into your room
And spill my fragrance bloom by
bloom,
And we might dream that we had
met
And smile and nod and then forget.
Congressman w. w. Rucker of
Missouri, should enter the race for
the prize, if one is offered, to the
member making the best record for
the term. He has three important
measures to his credit. First the
election of senators by popular
vote-the resolution is now in con-
ference and will pass before con-
gress adjourns. Second, publicity
before the election as to campaign
contributions. This measure has
passed both houses and is in law.
Third, publicity as to the expenses
of presidential candidates before
the convention. These measures
are of great importance-the first
and second are epoch making, and
the third is far reaching in its eff
feet. Fuckers record is one to be
proud of. Well done, good and
faithful public servant! -Bryan's

What a wonderful gift to be
blessed with the attractiveness that
makes every one wish to know the
owner better, and yet it is a gift
easy to possess or cultivate. 1t is
about as elusive as the perfume of
a flower, the bloom of the peach,
or the song of birds twitter. 1t
is only smile, a courteous deed,
an unselfish act performed at just
the time and place.-Ex,

THAT AUGUSTA-BELFAST ROAD.

EDITOR KENNEBEC JOURNAL: We
have read several articles in the Journal
and other papers in regard to the pro-
fast but have not seen anything from
nearly half way between the terminals
on the west branch of the Sheepscot
river at its head waters, which is fine
privilege for small manufacturing and
would be an ideal location for novelty
wood working plant as abundance Of
small lumber Of different varieties is at
hand.
Our village consists of six stores, two
blacksmith shops, cabinet shop, wool
carding, apple barrels, grist mill, potato
house, etc. also wholesale flour and feed,
of which vast amount is handled to
supply the surrounding territory.
The fertilizer would be quite an item
for this place as the farmers are raising
more potatoes each year and the product
would be shipped the cheapest way,
which undoubtedly would be by the new
road.
The road as proposed would pass
through the center and best part of our
town, so the passenger traffic would be
quite an item, Belfast being our county
seat.
If the promoters would take census
of the business done here we believe it
would compare very favorably with
other towns along the line The road
would pass two fine lakes, good fishing
and boating and excellent locations for
cottages.
We hope the road will be pushed to
completion and if it is we have no doubt
it will be financial success. PHI.

Trampled on the National Flag.

NEW YORK, May l. The Stars and
Stripes were torn down and trampled I'M
der foot and red flag substituted dur
ing fierce fight at May day meeting
of the Socialist party and affiliated
unions in Union Square Park late today.
That serious panic did not ensue is
believed to have been due to the fact
that thousands of persons on the out
skirts of the crowd did not know what
the trouble was. Responsibility for the
tearing down of the flag is disclaimed by
the Socialists. Their representatives on
the platform appeared to have done their
best to protect the national colors.

A WORD to
PARENTS
Look After Your Childs Health
During the Years Of Most
Rapid Growth.

School children who are nervous, who
cannot sit quietly on chair, who are
always dropping things, and perhaps
have twitching OF the muscles the
face, need Dir. Williams Pink Pills at
once.
Growing girls who become pale and
thin, who have tickle appetites; who
are out of breath after climbing the
stairs, and who have palpitation of the
heart after the least eXertion, need
them also.
Parents of such children should not
delay the treatment. Nervous children
do not develop properly. A sickly girl
hood means a sickly womanhood and
lack of blood during the years of most
rapid growth means f1at-chested, listless,
ambitionless men and women later on.
Pure, rich, red blood is what is need
ed. Strength for the nerves follows
naturally. The time to correct the
need of these is now, before any more
harm is done.
Miss Carrie f. Hathaway, of North
Houghton street, North Adams, Mass,
was cured of anamia by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills after her case was pronounced
hopeless by her doctor. The statement
of her cure is told by her mother, Mrs.
A. A. Hathaway. "My daughter,
Carrie, was confined to her bed for two
years suffering from anamia. She
seemed to have no blood and was as
pale as ghost. She was thin and did
not weigh more than 100 pounds, had
no strength or ambition and could no.
sit up. Her appetite was poor and she
had difficulty in breathing. No one
expected her to get well ind our minis
ter, before going on his vacation, came
to bid her goodbye as he did not think
she would live until his return. We
spent hundreds of dollars but the doc
tor seemed to be puzzled and could not
help her. She had been sick for over
two years before l decided to give DR..
Williams Pink Pills trial. The pills
gave her quick relief and cured her after
fair trial. She has had no serious
sickness since nd weighs 10 pounds.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are wonder
full remedy and l cannot say enough in
praise of them

all druggists, or sent postpaid, on re-

MAY DAY AT WELLESLEY.

WELLESLEY, May l. Instead of Civ.
ing the mammoth statue of Harriet
Martineau her annual bath, as seniors
have always done on May Day, Welles-
ley C ollege girls today held mock but
solemn funeral service over the spot
where the Backwood sman statue for
merly stood for years, as an innovation
in May Day celebration.
Seniors dressed as scrub women con-
Quoted the solemn rites, and then erect
ed a tablet in memory of the Backwoods
man. Heretofore Junior girls had al
ways scrubbed the Backswoodsman until
he fairly shone, after seniors had finish
ed bathing Harriet
Dressed for the first time in caps and
gowns, the seniors, 300 strong, immedi-
ately after breakfast rolled hoops from
College Hall down the winding drive and
over the campus to Houghton Memorial
Chapel, the under classes marching be-
hind.
At the chapel entrance the seniors
formed an arch by holding their hoops
above their heads. Under the arch the
junior, sophomore and freshman classes
marched into chapel The 1912 girls then
hung their hoops on the trees and march
ed in twos into chapel, following the I'M
dergraduate choir. After brief SER
vice, the most expert seniors rolled hoops
back to College Hall, but for many of
them it was difficult task in driving up-
hill.
AS the upper class girls returned from
chapel they found their sister class, the
sophomores, had formed in living nu-
merals the figures 1912" on the steep
bank of College Hall Hill. Every sopho-
more was dressed in white, and their
gowns made striking contrast against
the vivid green.
Glass work was suspended soon after
O'Clock this afternoon for the annual
children's party, in which practically
every one of the 1,400 undergraduates
appeared in costume on the campus.
There were boys and girls in picturesque
costumes of all periods and most all coun-
tries, with here and there girls dressed
as nursemaids and colored ''mammies. "
Leap frog, London bridge and many
another almost-forgotten juvenile game
was played. Toy balloons. jump ropes,
whistles and ice cream were sold by
squad of girls in aid of the students
building fund. There was no set dancing
this year, but throughout the afternoon
the Maypole was wound frequently with
bright ribbons by girls who danced mer-
rily about it. In the midst of the fes-
Invites the freshman president, Miss
Dorothy P. Hill, was escorted to the
Maypole and crowned Queen of the May
by the senior president, Miss Helen K.

Turn on the Light.

When Governor Plaisted declares in
public that he never promised to have the
laws enforced he utters deliberate false
hood. 1t was partly of that promise he
was elected Governor of Maine. When
he declares the law cannot be enforced,
he stultifies himself. When w. R. Pat
tangall declares that public sentiment is
not behind the law, he is trying to mis-
lead the people. Public sentiment has
been shown to be behind the law. When
the Governor and Attorney General of
the State take this stand we do not be-
lieve the people can be fooled with the
cry of "good government" Turn on the
