AT CARLISLE.
The Normal club played a return
game at Carlisle on the following day,
Friday, Hayes was sent in to do the
twirling, and for eight innings was
eminently successful, only one run
having been scored off of his delivery
during that time, but in the ninth the
Indians rallied their coaching forces
and by. hideous yells and war dances
along tina base lines made "Tommy"
just tri1e uncomfortable. He lost
his bearings, and gave two free passes
to first. The next man up hit one
out for two sacks. Before the side
was retired three runs came in and the
game was lost. The final score was

From Carlisle the Normalites Jour
neyed on to the city OF brotherly love
where they met and defeated the for
midable P. R. r. Y. M. c. A. team.
The Philadelphia Press of Sunday in
speaking of the game says 'the contest
was marked by stupid playing on the
part of the railroaders, while the up
State boys displayed lots of ginger"
This victory is considered significant
one as the Y. M. c. A. team has lost
but few games this season, and the
nine is composed Of players Of known
ability. The score was II to s. Four
of the eight runs were made in the
concluding inning.
THE TIGERS.
The game on Monday was quite
an interesting match, although the
playing at times was off color. The
Normal opponents on this occasion
was an outfit of young coal miners
culled from the various towns in the
coal regions, and travelling under the
sobriquet of "The Freeland Tigers"
They were not near SO ferocious as.
the name would seem to indicate.
They iudulged in great deal of fault
finding with the umpire, but couldn't
handle ball when the opportunity
was given them. They have evidently
devoted more time 10 lung develop
ment than to team work. Score:
Normal 9, Tigers 6.

The benefit game on Athletic Field
yesterday afternoon between Normal

the occasion, resulted in victory for
the former. 1t was right fair game,
but 1t can hardly be taken when con-
sldering the strength of the two clubs.

EHect of Lime on Soils.

There are certain soils In which lime
is naturally deficient, though the use Of
ground bone. acid phosphate and wood
ashes for the sake of the phOsphoric
acid or potash in them helps to increase
the lime often to the full amount Of the
need. SO also does the use Of land
plaster, gypsum or sulphate Of lime,
which are all the same thing, though
sold under ali three names. While lime
will accumulate In dry soil. 1t teaches
out Of q damp soil or In a damp eli
mate, which helps to explain why 1t
should and does prove beneficial to APP
ply dry slaked lime TO soils where the
lime rock abOunds. Whatever of the
lime has become free may have leached
away. Good results may be expected
from its use where the soil is naturally
deficient In It or where it has become
acid or sour. a frequent result Of the
presence of stagnant water In nndraln-
ed land, where other plant food elc-
ments are in the soil. but largely I'M
available. from lack Of friability and
pOrousness. This may be In stiff.
heavy soils, and the use Of lime will
help to tighten them up. Lime also
holds moisture and prevents teaching
in loose soils and helps to destroy in
sects and fungous diseases.

Ohio can testify. From n group Of con-

Profit. In sheen.

Sheep growers have two resources
for profit, wool and mutton. and many
are combining the two. Some claim
that wool at 10 to ii cents In the
grease will not pay sufficient profit,
but TO a casual observer il would seem
otherwise. as every five pound Of fleece
would bring an average Of GO cents.
But there is no question about the
profit in mutton. This has been tested
largely in Colorado and elsewhere In
the west. But the lambs must be well
fed to bring good prices and must be
Of recognized mutton breed to top the

close attention. though one man and
a dog can care for more pounds of
mutton while being produced than
twice that many cars Of beef.
