Tyler Gives One Hit.

St. Louis, Aug. 31.-The Boston Braves made it three out of four over the Cardinals yesterday by taking the last game of the series to in a bitchers' battle between Tyler and Perdue. The Boston southpaw held the Cardinals to one measly hit. Perdue was hit fairly often, but was stsong in the pinches. Better support Would have cut off one Boston run.
 The only Cardinal hit was made in the seventh. Lee Magee hit to left, but was out at second trying to stretch the hit into a double, Con- holly making a great throw to Evers. Immediately afterward Dolan drew pass and Tyler promptly caught him off first. Thus did a prospective Car dina1 rally ga wrong. .4
 - the first inning after Moran went out, Evers singled through Beck. Connolly sacrificed. Gilbert then drove a single to center, scoring sEvers. Schmidt drove a hard liner Straight to Miller and the inning was over.
 . The second Boston run came in the fifth. Maranville singled to center W1fA one down. Gowdy singled and Ywlien Dolan let the ball go through him Maranville scored and Gowdy pulled up at second Boston often threatened in other innings, but Perdue put on steam and kept them lway from the plate. In the ninth the Cards started a

Cubs Simply Ontc1assed.


 Chicago.

No mere figures could.
 The New York lads played as if the object of the game was to get all the runs they could and keep the other fellows from counting any. The West Siders played as if their object was to rid their systems of nine in- a nings of bad baseball. Both succeed ed.. The win gave the men of Mo- GkAw three of the four and sent them To Pittsburg still in first place.
 Tesreau pitched one of his good games. His control was perfect. He famed seven of the Cubs and while they got to him for eight hits three of them were made in the last round, when 2 the spit ball tosser was in a liberal mood. Tesreau's support was peRnct and the hitting behind him terrific. Eleven safe drives were made by the customers. Fletcher got three of these and since he took a crack in the ribs upon his first stroll to the plate he batted 75O on the day. Once he failed to do what he attempt ed And upon that occasion he got on, for Corridor dropped his fly. < Snodgrass opened with a single and DnXle followed with one. Burns walked, filling the bases. Fletcher was hit by a pitched ball and Snod- grass was compelled to score. Rob- ertson hit to Corridor, who fumbled, and Doyle counted. Archer permitted a pitch to get away from him and Burns dashed over the plate. Grant sponped out and Meyers hit to Zim- no1 man, with the result that Fletcher was nailed at the plate, but Merkle came through with a hit and Robert son scored.
 The second saw Pierce on the slab
 and he held the Giants until the fifth. Then with one gone Corridor 1nuffed Burns drive and Fletcher tripled to left. That naturally put .Rurns across and he was followed by 9IF<nfs fshortstop when Pierce fumbled ! Murray's bounder. One more came { the way of the Giants in the sixth on a double by Snodgrass, a sacrifice iby Doyle and a single by Burns. The visitors scored their final run in the ninth when Fletcher took two bases on Corriden's huff of his fly and went the remainder of the way on Mur- rays single to center.
 z he Cubs threatened occasionally, hut not until the ninth did they score. Safer doubled and so did Zimmer- man. Schulte followed with two base crack, but Heine didn't score, his fear that the ball would be caught causing him to start late. Bresnahan f1ie6e out, so Safer won the honor of being the only Cub to count. The , score:

KEEP ALL STRAW
FOR STOCK FEED
With Silage, Roots or Grain II
Makes Good Ration-AIso
Valuable Fertilizer.

Many farmers do not realize 10
what extent straw is valuable, or
how to make the best use OF II. Large
quantities OF straw have been burned,
in the past. as the easiest method OF
disposal. but from now on It will be
used to a great extent with silage,
roots, grains and the like. In using
1t with silage It serves double pur-
pose-it helps keep certain kinds of
silage from spelling in the silo, and
II is a good filler for stock feeding.
Straw is especially poor in crude
protein and fat. and rich in cellulose,
or woody tiber. This makes II par.
ticularly useful IN the winter time for
horses and cattle, as IL requires a
great deal OF energy to masticate, di-
gest, and pass 1t through the body,
thus keeping the animal warm. Wheat
straw is being used at the Hays ex-
pertinent station at the present time,
along with other feeds, The cattle
are eating quite a large amount Of
this straw and have gained in weight.
Oats straw Is far more nutritious than
wheat straw and is much preferred by
stock.
After stock have been allowed to
run to a straw pile. the straw will soon
decay and contain considerable
amount OF droppings from the animals,
which makes 1t valuable as fertll-
lzer. Wheat straw makes excellent
bedding material, as II does not break
up badly, and will absorb more mois-
ture than either oats or rye straw
Wheat straw is often used by manu-
facturers for packing purposes. II is
also used in the paper industry. II a
farmer has large amount of straw
and has good shipping facilities, he
may be able to dispose OF 1t at profit.

CLASS ANT WITH FLY
BOTH ENEMIES, OF THE HUMAN
RACE, SAY SCIENTISTS.
Pests Are Equally Active In Carrying
Disease Germs - Experiments In
Panama Canal Zone Have Sub
stantiated Theories.

No suspicion until lately has arisen
that the Industrious ant might upon
occasion act as the transmitting agent
OF infection to man, says the London
Lancet IL was known that some spe-
cies, such as the white ant, has very
destructive tendencies in certain parts
OF the tropics and that the bites OF
some large tropical ants caused
good deal OF general disturbance, be-
ing attended with faintness and shiv-
ering and sometimes with temporary
paralysis. 1t was also known that
some savage races used the dried
bodies OF ants, beaten into a paste, as
an arrow poison. but 1t is only OF late
that suggestion has been made that
this insect might convey pathogenic
bacteria to man. The ant is COM
monty found In and around the dwell
ings OF people residing in the tropics.
II is indeed, a matter OF difficulty to
keep this insect away from foodstuffs
in such houses, and It is equally diff
cult to keep the ant away from hui
man dejecta when these are not prop
erly disposed Of. So that 1t cannot be
doubted that the ant has the opportu-
nifty OF carrying from infected excreta
the specific organisms OF disease to
the food stored in human dwellings.
Little or no experimental work,
however, had been done to obtain
proof that ants were capable OF trans
mitting disease to man, but In 1912
DIR. l.. b. Bates, bacteriologist to An
con hospital in the Panama Canal
zone. undertook a series OF expert.
ments with a view Of putting to the
test whether or not the ant acted
as a transmitting agent OF such infec-
tions as enteric fever and bacillary
dysentery. His Investigations were
carried out with the large yellow ants
which are found in and around the
houses In the canal zone. He fed a
number of these insects on bread
soaked with cultures of bacillus ty-
phosus for five days. killing and ex-
amining some OF them at certain
intervals, but in no instance was he
able to recover the typhoid bacillus
from the intestines of the ants. The
| experiment was carefully repeated
with like negative results. He then
tried to determine II the ant could
carry the specific organisms on its
legs or body In a purely mechanical
way to human food.
To this end number OF the in.
sects were dropped into a broth cul.
ture of the typhoid bacillus and al
lowed afterward to crawl out and
walk over dishes in such a way chat
their footprints could be "cultivated'
for bacteria. The typhoid bacillus
was easily found in every instance.
This. experiment was repeated several
times. and in the majority OF cases
positive results were obtained.
