BASE BALL.

The Tigers of Freeland will play at
Coal Dale on Saturday at 4 p. m.
-Lansford won three straight games
last week and base ball stock in that sec
ton is way, way up.
The Summit Hill-Jeddo game at
Jeddo Saturday afternoon was won by
the former club. Score, l4-l3.
The Hungarian club of Mt. Carmel
arrived here on Saturday and in the
afternoon did up their Freeland brethren
to the tune of 2S-17.
The Tigers went to Jeddo Sunday
afternoon and returned with another
victory to their credit, having defeated
Jeddo by score of l7-l5.
-Eazleton has lost seventeen games
and won nine, and yet poses as the
representative club of the coal region.
Drop out of the league and don't disgrace
the county.
There is a vacancy in the Middle
States League, caused by Norristown's
withdrawal. The club was disbanded
Monday morning and is $1100 in debt,
which the stockholders seem in no hurry
to pay. Poor attendance at the games
was the cause of failure.
The Summit Hill and Lansford team
are ready to prove to Freeland that they
are not the best players in the coal
region. Come down some Saturday,
Record.
Was it not in Lansford or Summit Hill
that one of Freeland's batteries came
pretty near getting annihiliated last year
for winning a game with East Mauch
Chunk? The invitation MAY be consid-
cred when the members of the club get
their lives insured.
The Gimlers went to Lattimer Sun
day afternoon and crossed bats with the
club of that place. The score at the end
of the fifth inning was Al in favor of
Lattimer. The Gimlers scored another
run in the sixth, which the umpire
would not allow, declaring the runner
out at the plate. The visitors had ac-
cepted all the unjust decisions up to this
time without murmuring, but requested
change of umpire after that. Lattimer
refused to make a change and the game
was not finished. The rivalry between
those clubs is intense and the Gimlers
tried to make arrangements for game
in Freeland or Hazleton parks for S25 a
side. Lattimer would not accept the
challenge.

Money Made Twice,

Jinks-You seem very happy about

Winks-I am; biggest thing yet. In

know the cigar-end clippers? A Gus
toner buys a cigar, touches it to the
clipper, and the end is cut off already
for smoking. Well, I've just found
out that these cigar-tips are gathered
up by the proprietors and sold, some
big stores adding $500 year to their
income by the operation. Great, isn't
itp You sell the cigar, get the end
back for nothing, and make money on
both.

the customer touches his cigar to the
clipper it'll bite off a couple of inches

Bananas.

The consumption of bananas has in
creased enormously in the United
States during the last ten years, which
is a good thing, as it is healthful and
nutritious fruit and very palatable to
most people. West India furnishes us
the most of our supply, but the demand
so far has run ahead of it and many
sugar plantations in the West Indies
are being turned into banana orchards.
The bulk of the crop comes to New
York, whence it is distributed through
the country. We buy over $1,000,000
worth year from jamaica; yet there
are hundred other places raising
them and shipping them to our market.

He Wants the Money.

Hugh Flanagan, the stable boss who
met his death at the hands of the
murderous Italians, with Paymaster
Mcclure, had deposited in one of the
Philadelphia banks about So, 900 in cash,
the savings of long life of hard work.
So far as was known at the time he had
not relative living to claim this money,
and it is still lying at the bank. Now,
however, claimant has appeared in the
persons of Andrew Flanagan, of Jer-
myn, Lackawanna County, who states
that he is first cousin of the murdered
stable boss, their fathers having been
brothers. Flanagan came to this country
twenty-five years ago from Scotland
where his father had moved from Ire
land when he was a boy. He has
already commenced proceedings toward
obtaining possession of the money.

A runaway occurred on the Upper
Lehigh branch of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey yesterday. A coal train
was coming down the grade from Upper

Two Ways of Building Towns.

There is a secret in building towns,
says an exchange. Do you know what
1t IS? II you don't you can work out the
problem in the following manner: Take
900 old fogies and misers; men who do
not believe in advertising men who do
not believe in giving capitalists anything
for risking their money in their town
and put them on the good site. Take 200
good, live, energetic, get-up sort of fellows
who never let an opportunity pass to ad-
yertise themselves and their town, and
put them on the poor town site. Then
watch these two towns for the next five
years, and you will very readily catch on
the secret Of town building.

MIDSUMMER FARM TOPICS.
THE UTILIZATION OF FERTILIZERS.
How to Tell n Horses Age Readily Until
the Seventh Year-Saving the Manure
Household Hints-Farm and
Garden Notes, Etc.

There is large amount of waste mate
rial that can be added to the manure heap
with advantage, and during the warm
days of summer the materials very quickly
decompose. Weeds can be profitably
raked up and added to the manure heap,
provided they are not ready to seed, and
even then well-managed heap will de-
stroy the seeds. The most important rs-
quisite with manure is to have it as fine as
possible, and, with this object in view, the
hay left over or trampled should be cut.
The straw used for bedding will be more
serviceable if cut for that purpose, and
will also more readily act as an absorbent
in the manure heap. 1t must not be over
looked that the liquids are more valuable
than the solids, and the best mode of re-
tanning the liquids is to use absorbent ma
terials. Even dry dirt has been found
valuable substance in the manure heap
when used as an absorbent, and as the
liquids serve to hasten decomposition they
largely increase the value of the solid por-
tons. If the liquids are added to the
heap it is apparent that any excess will
flow away and carry off much of the fer
tilizing qualities of the manure. Hence,
when the heap is exposed to heavy rains
the manure will absorb water and also al
low it to pass down. The surplus rain
water in its flow dissolves out the valuable
portions of the manure and forces the
liquids to flow away, leaving the solid por-
tons behind, but thoroughly saturated.
When the sun pours its heat on the heap
the action of moisture. heat and air causes
a chemical change to occur by which a
portion of the solids is decomposed and
rendered soluble, the result being that the
next rain carries off more fertilizing ma
terial and the heap is impoverished. The
sun does as much damage as the rain, as
continued exposure induces the genera.
ton of heat of higher temperature within
the heap than is necessary. When this
occurs it is known as 'tire-fanging. or
burning up" of the manure, as the ele-
ments are liberated as fast as chemical de-
composition occurs.

A HORSES AGE.
It Can Be Told Readily Till the Seventh

It Can Be Told Readily Till the Seventh
Year, But Not After That
The following, from the Dublin Farmers
Gazette, is valuable to every one that owns
a horse:
"The foal is born with twelve grinders.
When four front teeth have made their ap-
pearance the colt is twelve days old, and
when the next four assert themselves its
age will be about twenty-eight days. The
corner teeth make their appearance when
the foal is eight months old, and these lat
ter attain the hight of the front teeth at
the age of year. The two-year-old has
the kernel-the dark substance in the mid
die of the tooth's crown-ground out OF all
the front teeth. In the third year the mid
die front of teeth are shifted, and when
three years old these are supplanted by the
permanent Tor horse) teeth, which are
larger and more yellow than their prede-
cessors. The next four teeth are shifted
in the fourth year and the corner teeth in
the fifth, giving place to the permanent
''At five years of age horse has forty
teeth, of which twenty-four are grinders,
far back in the jaw, with which we have
little to do. But, be it remembered, horses
invariably have tusks, which mares very
rarely do. Before the age of six is arrived
at the tusk is full grown and has a slight
groove on its internal surface (which gen.
orally disappears with age, the tusk itself
becoming more rounded and blunt, and
at six the kernel or mark is worn out of
the middle front teeth. There will still be
a difference of color in the center OF the
tooth.
"The tusks have now attained their full
growth, nearly or quite an inch in length,
convex without, concave within, tending
to a point, and the extremity somewhat
curved. Now, or perhaps some months
before, the horse may be said to have a
perfect mouth.
"At seven years the mark. as described,
is very nearly worn out of the four center
nippers, and fast wearing away in the cor
ner teeth, especially in mares; but the
black mark still remains in the center of
the teeth, and is not completely filled up
until the animal is eight years old. AS he
gets on past seven the bride teeth begin
to wear away.
"At eight the kernel has entirely disap-
peared from all the lower nippers, and be-
gins to decrease in the middle nippers. It
is now said to be past mark of mouth.
There are indications, however, after this
age which will enable a very shrewd OBJ
server to guess very closely at horses
age, but none that can be relied upon by
observers. As horses become advanced
in years the gums shrink away and the
teeth exhibit a long and narrow appear
ance; they lean more forward and assume
an arched shape"
