THE GARDEN.

"Hennersey: figuratively speakin', a pig
and garden are two of the hondyest
things in the hoose. Figurtif langwige is
nlxt door naybor to diplomacy, and it's
nate way they have to give We guess at
what they name Mr. Dooly
1t is safe to say that this year more
gardens will be planted than ever before
In any one season. The men who, year
after year have titled the same garden
plot of rich and mellow soil, need no ad-
vice. 1t also seems to US that a good
deal of advice is just now being wasted
on the farmer. He can be depended upon
to do his level best in this crisis. He IS
capable of managing his farm and his
affairs pretty well. He is loyal. He will
make long days. What he needs is fer
tllizers, Seed and somebody to help him
DO his work at a fair wage per day. The
all other men who never made a garden
in their lives are the would be agricul-
tursts who need advice The first thing
TO be impressed is the fact that a small
plot we'll titled will be more satisfactory
n the end than plot twice as large, not
well titled. A great many gardens will
be planted this year on freshly plowed
grass or pasture land. In these gardens
it is little use to try to raise beets, car
rots, parsnips, or onions, unless the sods
are taken upon fork and the earth is

| think corn, beans, squash, cucumbers,
potatoes and some other strong growing
vegetables can be raised on freshly turned,
well narrowed grass land. But the better
the preparation of the soil the better
results are to be reasonably had. A gar
den should produce sufficient radishes,
lettuce, cucumbers, squash, early beets,
tomatoes and string beans for table use
during the summer season. Two varie-
ties of corn should be planted. Golden
Bantam and any variety of medium early
corn. If one has sufficiently large plot
of ground, peas may be planted in rows
about three feet apart. In May the
wrinkled variety should be chosen and
we should prefer sort which would at
tain height of about 10 inches. But if
the plot is small it is not profitable to
plant peas, because one meal of green
peas is not worth the trouble Yellow
eyed beans are staple product, good in
winter and summer. They will grow on
freshly plowed sod land if well planted
and cared for. In using phosphate, mix

The city Of Bath has appropriated $500
for the purpose of conducting a municipal
potato field. Operations will be conduct

mittee The product of the field will be
sold to citizens of Bath at the uniform
price of 81 per bushel, and no family will
be allowed to purchase more than five
bushels for the season
The wealthy citizens of a town in
Massachusetts, have subscribed $4,000 to

These ways of preventing food short
age appeal to us as being both sensible
and practical. Abundance of food for
our people can be raised in this country,
if systematic and earnest efforts are
made. Few of us realize what great
country this land of ours is. This is an
hour of general awakening and we are
now learning the first chapters of great
lesson in thrift and in economy.

MILK PRODUCERS DEMAND
HIGHER PRICES.

Sentiment developed at mass meetings
of milk producers all over New England
May 18th was unanimous that there was
imperative necessity of an immediate in
crease in the price of milk at the farms.
1t will be impossible, under the present
high cost of grain, the scarcity of labor
and general war time conditions, to induce
farmers to continue their dairy herds I'M
less they receive cents or cents per
quart for milk, delivered at railroad
stations. The price of milk will probably
be increased to the consumers correspond
ingly.
The producers believe the cost of pro-
ducing milk will increase greatly during
the next six months. According to re-
ports from Washington, the Allies are in
desperate need of more of our food SUD-
plies from this country and the railroads
may be granted an increase in freight
rates. In the latter case the New Eng
land farmers get hit both ways; first, by
the additional cost of feed for herds; and,
second, because of the higher rate to get
the product to market. If Is per cent
increase in freight rates is granted the
railroads, it will cost the farmer about IL
cent on every quart of milk produced.
In many sections of New England
farmers find already that it is more profit
able to feed to swine, for which they re-
ceive 20 cents per pound, than to ship it
to Boston in cans for the price now being
paid. Farmers at the mass meetings
Monday declared their patriotism, but
felt there was no call for them to produce
food at loss, unless like requirement
prevailed among other producers, man
ufacturers, bankers and merchants.

A SILVER WEDDING SURPRISE

The many Waldo county friends of Rev,
and Mrs. c. H Mckinney, formerly of
Searsport, will be interested in the fol-
lowing account of the pleasant surprise
rendered them by their present Skowhegan
parishioners. Upon their arrival at the Con-
gregational church for the Thursday even
ing prayer meeting, Rev. and Mrs. Chas.
H. Mckinney were greeted by large as
semblage Of Congregationalists and their
friends in the brilliantly lighted parlors of
the church. Although the pastor had not
recalled that this was the 25th anniver-
sary of his wedding day, he soon remem-
bered the fact and with his wife took
seats of honor in the east parlor, while
Mrs. Ernest Raynor presided over pro-
gram of several numbers. A May basket
was presented to Rev. and Mrs. Noel
hiney by CafletonP P. Merrill, who was ex-
ceedingly witty as he handed the gift to
the minister, while Mr.. Mckinney ex-
pressed himself as very grateful in a
bright speech, in which humor and a
measure of sadness because of his oldest
son having just enlisted, were mixed, and
afterwards Mrs Mckinney voiced brief
but charming Acknowledgement. The
basket beside its attractive blossoms con-
tanned 500 as the gift of the parishioners.
Refreshments were later served and a
social time enjoyed. Rev. and Mrs. Nc
Elhiney have been with the local church
for little over year and are exceeding
ly popular in the church and community.
They came here from Searsport all of
their pastorates having been occupied in
Maine and the rest further east. They
have five children and all but the eldest
son, member of Co. E., are at home.

Plenty of Democratic Dissension.

The aftermath of the voting in Con-
gress Oh the CONSUMPTION bill is chiefly
made up of Democratic dissension. Champ
Clark and Ambassador Gerard led off
with an interchange Of choice recrimina-
ton, the New York World brought in a
blanket Indictment of Democrats who
failed the President in his effort to create
an army, and from Washington comes
the story of multiplied personal rows
among Democrats in Congress who split
on the issue. We leave them to settle
their own quarrels. All we desire is the
opportunity to remind the country from
time to time between now and November,
1918, that these Democrats and others
will be appearing before the voters asking
for election or reelection.

models it is the sash that counts, the rest
of the dress being merely background.
Laces.
Valenciennes is high in favor for dainty
neck fixings, blouse trimmings and dress
garnitures. Filet lace is in even greater
favor, while the heavier laces that have
for some seasons been neglected, are
making their appearance on very up-to-
date creations.
Lace hat brims accord admirably with
the lace bedecked gowns, and the velvet
crowns that are used with many of these
hats match up well with the velvet rib
bon that lends character to otherwise in
sipid gowns It is faddish to run ribbons
of silk or velvet through shirrings of or

broidered Sits that have served so long.

sash facing of the bingham. The price

A WARNING IN FIGURES.

The New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Company has just issued the third of serIes of nine bulletins warning g people of the danger of tres passing on the railroad tracks. 20,0U0 copies of each bulletin, 1S0. 900 in all, are being distributed in factories, schools, stations, freight houses, ca. booses. crossing cabins, section houses, work trains, shops, car inspection cabins, interlocking towers, telegraph poles, and all conspicuous places along the lines of the railroad. The text of the latest bulletin IS as follows:
 In the last three years-1912, 1913, and 1914 -442 persons who ventured without authority on the tracks and property of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad were killed and 394 injured.
 These lives were lost because these persons needlessly exposed themselves to the danger of death or injury by making use of railroad tracks and right of way as public highway.
 When you use the railroad tracks and right of way as a highway to save time or trouble. you are putting your life in deadly peril. In the year 1914 total of 547l lives were lost in this manner on the railroads of the United States.
 You would not not willingly expose yourself to disease. Why expose your self to peril as great?

THE SECONDHAND CAR.

The secondhand car is all that is left to hopeful purchaser after the speed ometer has turned over once.
 On stepping back and taking calm, dispassionate survey of the automobile section of the Sunday newspaper, it would seem as if the average touring car was large, robust lemon. When the owner of an automobile with rim. winding clock, which cost $5, ,000 in 1911, tries to let go for $450 because he is obliged to leave the state, it is evil dent that hls investment has shrunK faster than a flannel shirt after the third washing
 One of the most depressing things the owner of new machine can do is to read the automobile section and find how many people are trying to get rid of the same make and model of car, even going so far as to offer to trade it for all equity in wild land forty miles from a railroad. All of which tends to convince the seller that he made mis. take when he refused an offer of one dollar down and a dollar a week for 449 weeks.
 It is sad to see handsome, highly vanished automobile begin to decline in health and give way in some vital spot. But the real cause of the second. hand car is the seductive and repre- hensible newspaper advertising which tends to make every owner dissatisfied and causes him to try to sell out to some neighbor who does not know a magpeto from a corn pepper. If the newspapers and magazines were barred from accepting automobile advertising, second hand cars would be harder to find than a Bible in Wall street.
 The secoud hand car is an untold benefit to people who would like an automobile, but who do not like to mortgage the table linen in order to get one. Thousands of people are rid ing around joyfully in second hand cars wh. ch were discarded because they lacked a tonneau light This teaches us that pride makes suckers of us all.
