Well. what can we do about it,
We can point out the danger, remind
the voters of those other days and
trust the good sense of the people.
II American workers wish to take the
chances again for the sake of being
fooled by these political takers, we can
stand it as we'll as they. If American
farmers conclude that they are willing
to swap present conditions for repe-
tition of the times, 1887, when they
could not sell their produce because
laborers had not the money to buy,
why we can stand it as well as they.
But we do not believe they will be
such fools. Here is what one Middle,

before the people of Maine, and to
work as persistently against 1t as the
booze trust and its paid henchnien
work for it. We believe that. too
much has been taken for granted in
the past. For years the temperance
people of Maine have not been
aroused on the question until 1911.
But all the time the rum trust has
been busy. Not day has passed
that its literature has not gone into
Maine homes.
Feeling secure in our Constitutional
amendment, we defied the liquor fore
es and remained as easy as Old TilleY
about his soul until the rum trust had
built up almost enough public SEN
timent" to overthrow the law.
1t was a narrow squeak, now wasn't
it?
And now the booze trusts have be-
gun their pussy foot methods making
more Sentiment" They are sending
their paid for stuff-the work of con-
scienceless editors who have sold the
very souls of their newspapers to the
rum traffic-into Maine to convince us
that Maine made law is wrong and
rum trust law is right.
And we propose to fight them! Our
subscription lists. and such letters as
the above, are daily showing that the
best element of Maine citizenship is
with u.s.
Some of the booze traffic's friends
and promoters say: Jaw cut out this
temperance bosh and give us a rest
we are sick of temperance chatter
Well, do these same chaps ever get
sick of hearing that old idiocy 1.-THE
boys are bound to have their booze,
and if they can't get it one way they
will another"
Do they become tired of having
those price lists of liquors from Bos-
ton wholesalers sent into their homes?

and your children set to wondering

oh, yes; they tell US, frequently,

Agricultural Help
Glover Seed Hay.

The prevailing custom of handling
second or seed crop of clover is to cut
it and allow the hay TO lie in the field
till it rots. Farmers have notion
that by allowing clover seed hay to
rot for awhile in the field, the heads
will become softer and the seed will
hull out better. 1t may be that by
this method of handling the hay some
more seed will be secured. However.
if the hay is cured properly and put
up in bright and clean condition for
feeding, almost as much seed may be
secured-in some cases fully as much
and in addition all the hay will be
saved for feed.
1t is a well-known fact that COW
pea hay after the seed has been
threshed out makes excellent feed for
cattle, horses and sheep. Threshed
clover hay that has not been allowed
to must or decay in the field makes
equally as good hay FOR a variety Of
uses. The second clover crop may be-
come of extra value if II is harvested,
stored anA hulled without allowing il
to become wet and partially decayed
before the seed is hulled out. Hay OF
any kind has now become one of oul
most valuable money crops, and ut is
poor business management on the
farm to handle the second clover croI
so that the hay will be wasted as only
fit for bedding. Last winter even COM
mon straw sold for as high as $40 a
ton in the country. Threshed clover
hay was worth SIS a ton, and it sold
readily at that price wherever it could
be had. Counting the first crop of
clover for hay, and the second crop
for both hay and seed, good clover
crop will give a money return In one
year from the land or from S20 to 500.

The time has come when no farmer
can afford to allow corn stalks or
