dropped rapidly for the past few days
and Tuesday in spite of the rain was
still going down. AL! of the storage
basins up the river are full of water

den rise in the water and the almost
as rapid fall, although of course a
great many logs have, been left on the

SKOWHEGAN AT
WATERVILLE SAT.

Weather permitting there will be a
game of baseball between the Water
vile High school team and the Show
hogan High school team on Alumni
field at 3 O'Clock Wednesday afternoon.
The Skowhegan team is reported to be
strong this year, and Waterville has
given a good account of itself in every
game that the team has been in. The
boys are playing better ball all the
time and in the Good Will game of
last Saturday put no nearly perfect
article of baseball. The two mines
should be fairly evenly matched and
an interesting contest is certain.

The battleship Virginia has been as
signed to the State of Maine for the
training of men for the navy which
will be carried out this summer. This
ship will be sent to Portland and the
men from this State who are to take
part in the cruise will join it there.
The cruise will give young men one of
the finest possible vacations at very
low cost and will at the same time
give them some training in the work
on the big ships of the United States
navy which will make them of value to
their country in time Of war. The bat
tleship which has been assigned to
Maine is one Of the best and full
complement of men will doubtless be
provided for it by the men of this
State.

How to Make Your Worn Out Gards'
Soil More Fertile.

In many cases rotted stable manure
and humus will prove all that the ga,
dener need add to make his garden fer.
tile, but in some cases, especially where
the ground is being worked annually,
it will be well to add commercial
fertilizer. The best results are usually
gained by the rotation Of crops-that is,
by never planting the same piece 0,
ground with the same crop two years
in succession.
The government agricultural bureau
issues charts and pamphlets showing
the proper rotation Of crops which will
prove invaluable to the gardener. They

valuable information, for the asking.
