'FRISkY ASA BAN TAM NOW"
Well Known Cumberland Man Feels
Years Younger. Thanks to Tan
lac. the Master Medicine.

Statement after statement is now be-
ing made in connection with Tanlac, the
premier preparation which is doing so
much good in Cumberland and vicinity.
One of the latest of these comes from
a man whose name is known through
out Western Maryland as synonym
for honesty and integrity James L.
Lindsay, constable, of AZ Goethe street.
He says:
For some time past my system has
been rundown from asthma. | suf-
fered severely from Indigestion and a
sluggish condition of the liver. At
times l became terribly constipated and
nothing gave me permanent relief.
After meals gas would form on my
stomach, my tongue would become
coated and l would have foul taste in
my mouth. Heartburn was common
and | often.felt like had coal of fire
inside me.

to recommend it.

HAVE YOUR PULLETS IN SHAPE
FOR WINTER LAYING.
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

It soon will be too late to get your
pullets in shape for winter laying. A
pullet started off in good shape Just
before cold weather sets in is pretty
apt to keep on laying all winter if she
gets at least reasonable treatment
If, however, on the other hand cold
weather strikes them before they are
in shape to lay, they will have two
things to do aside from laying, viz:
growing and maturing and also keep.
ing warm II is also we'll TO keep in
mind the fact that at this time natural
feed is beginning TO get scarce and
that this is just the time the pullets
require animal matter with which to
finish out their bodies and start up the
egg machinery. Bugs, worms and in
sects are not so plentiful, therefore, 1t
is well to offer some animal feed as
substitute. II you cannot get anything
else, commercial beef scrap can al
ways be purchased. The following
simple mash kept before them in hop
pers or shallow troughs will help Won
derfully to round the farm flock into
chaDa.

WHEAT SMUT INJURIES QUALITY
OF YIELD.
Should Be Controlled BY Treating
Seed With FormaIin.
NICHOLAS SCHMITz,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Sinking Smut in wheat has proven
itself to be a serious disease IN many
sections of the State, often causing as
much as Is or 80 per cent damage, and
a decrease in price OF the wheat of
from 10 to Is cents per bushel is not
uncommon. This smut spreads by the
threshing machine and by otherwise
handling the grain.
The treatment for Sinking Smut is
simple. Before commencing the treat.
ment remove all unbroke1 smut
balls" and since these balls are much
lighter than the sound grain, thorough
flaming viii usually do this. But if
not, then the grain should be poured
into barrel of cold water and thor
ughlv stirred so that all the balls will
come to the surface, where they can
be SKINNED off.
To treat the seed for this smut, buy
from a druggist guaranteed formalin
(40Gt solution Of formaldehyde), and
pour one pint of it into 40 or 50 gallons
of water and mix thoroughly. This
amount of solution should be enough
for treating 40 or 50 bushels Of wheat
Spread the seed out thinIy over a
floor and apply the solution with
sprinkling can or with a spray pump
throwing a fine spray. While the solu,
ton is being applied the grain should
be stirred constantly with a hoe,
shovel or garden rake, until every
grain is thoroughly wet. About 8

quarts Of the solution is required for
bushel Of seed After the grain is
thoroughly wet, it may be put in a
pile and allowed to remain for about
II hours or more. A good plan is to
treat the seed in the evening and let
it lie in the covered pile until morning.
Treated seed may be sOwn the fol.
lowing day after it has been spread
out to dry, or it may be thoroughly
dried and kept indefinitely. If sown
soon after treatment the dIir should
be set to SOW from one-fourth to one
third more than for a normal seeding
Of thoroughly dry seed.
It must be remembers that a lot Of
smutted wheat viii always leave some
Of the smut spores wherever it is
placed whether this be in bins OF
sacks. Therefore, treated seed should
never be put back in bins or sacks
which previously contained smuttad
seed. If il is necessary to place the
seed back into infected sacks they
should first be dipped into the formalin
solution Before sowing it is also ad-
visable to thoroughly disinfect the
drill by spraying with the solution.
Seed treated with formalin is nor
poisonous to stock, but it is never ad,
visable to feed it.

NEWARK FEDS IN
A SHILLING MOOD
Get Going After a Hard Shower
and Score Enough Runs to
Beat Buffalo.

The sun smiled through the heavily
banked rain clouds at the Federal
League Park, in Harrison, yesterday
afternoon, and with the sun smiled
Bill Phillips, manager Of the Newark
Feds.
The cessation of the rain gave his
team a chance to defeat the Buffalo
Blues. In the fifth frame the Blues
were ahead by score Of ! TO 0, and
the heavens opened A tropical shower
fell, drenching the park and banishing
thoughts of continuing hostllitles even
in the minds of the most loyal.
But after twenty-five minutes the
weather cleared and the teams were
ordered back to the diamond. And
with that second lease of life came
victory to Newark by a score of 5 TO ,.
George Mullin, the veteran Detroit
pitcher, was on the rubber for the
home team, and he did his work well.
He allowed eight hits, but kept them
fairly wide apart.
Gene Knapp started for the Blues,
and was going we'll until the rain
started. His arm cooled in waiting
and he was unable to get back his
speed and control. With the bases full
in the sixth Esmond cleaned up with
triple.
The score follows:

Jeff Tesreau Holds Men of
Brooklyn to a Brace
of Hits, Which Count
Little.

The headong plunge Of the Giants
was checked after seven days OF Just
one defeat after another yesterday af-
ternoon. Guided by the herculean JEFF
Tesreau, McGraw's men downed the
Brooklyn Superbas at Ebbet's Field,
and so broke their losing streak. The
score was to 0, which (abOuU tells
the story.
The Giants had four chances, and i'm
proved upon three Of them. The Su-
perbas had two chances to perform val
orous deeds, but Tesreau had way Of
crushing his foes and permitted few
liberties.
There were just two obstacles in the
path of Tesreau 70 no-hit fame. One
Of these was Iii Myer, who inserted a
single into the muggy afternoon in the
second inning; the other was the argu-
mentative Ollie O'Mara, who further
smudged the eScutcheon of the bear
hunter in the eighth inning. But these
little incidents were so far removed
from one another that the one was long
forgotten before the other arose.
In the sixth inning errors by Lobert
and Doyle put Tesreau in trouble, but

reliable Myer were unable to get the
ball out of the infield. Just one inn
ing previous the Superbas had two men
on with only one out, but there was no
hit in the bats Of Dell or O'Mara.
The critics questioned the judgment
Of Robbie in ordering Miller TO sacri-
fee in the fifth with Dell. a pitcher

his tribe, coming up, but il made little
difference.
Tesreau struck out nine men, includ-
ing such batsmen as Buck Wheat. Jake
Daubert, Hy Myer, George Cutshaw.
Billy zimmerman, twice; and was mean
enough TO pick on Wheeezer Dell. who
bit the dust three times. Only Schultz.
Miller and OMara escaped. And jeff
passed only two men
Opposed to the Ironton behemoth was
Wheezer Dell, once from Butte, Mont.
but more recent of Seattle Dell had
good day himself, except for a mo-
ment of flightiness in the opening
stanza. and but for the misdeeds of his
comrads he might have held the Giants
to a lone run. One single tally was all
the tribe Of McGraw could earn. The
other two followed the order of bust
ness of baseball games. Half o dozen
hits, two OF which were punched in the
eighth inning, were combed down off
Dell. He passed four men and hit an
other. and retired two on strikes. Dell
put the ball over the plat etand relied
on his felders
His support ranged from the sublime
TO the execrable. Buck Wheat was the
Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde of the game.
He made one of the greatest catches
ever seen on Ebbets Field in the eighth
inning, robbing Fred Merkle of home
run, with two on bases. extricating Dell
from yawning hole, and stopping
what bid ito develop into an avalanche
of hits
Then in the ninth he turned around
and muifed an easy fly on Jack Murray
that permitted a runner 10 score
Wheat caught Merkle's drive away out
near the left field stands with one hand
while running al top speed. He chased

that drive full forty yards before he
got it. Schultz, too, was good and bad
in turn. OMara played slashing game
at short
The Giants flashed a streak Of real
fielding, despite the hobbies Of Lobert
and Doyle Meyers and Herkle monop-
olzed the put-outs, to all intents and
purposes. The Chief had eleven to his
credit, while Merkle accounted for
thirteen. Snodgrass, Doyle and Rob-
ertson got the others. Robertson's kill
ing drew down the wrath of all Brook
lyn rooters, for it robbed the ever pop
ular Buck of a certain home run. Tes-
reau had rather busy time fielding
five chances perfectly.
One Of Tesreau's plays was response
bic for the Punishment of Fred Snod-
grass. In the fifth Myer walked and
Zimmerman laid down a weak grounder
to the box. Tesreau threw to second,
but Fletcher was off the bag, and both
runners were safe.
Now, Fred Snodgrass is a Califor-
MAN, and therefore temperamental. He
is disposed to argue, and picked out

hits for him during the afternoon.
Peckinpaugh was passed, and Boone's
clean smash to centre brought Cook
gallOping home.
1t vas the next inning, however, that
Cooks speed showed TO best advantage.
Baumann doubled to left and Pipp was
passed. Cook shot the ball to right
centre, and by the most beautiful kind
of sprinting came all the way home
A single to centre by Maisel, Boeh-
ling's balk, Hartzell's safe bunt, Bau-
mann's sacrifice fly and Pipp's single
to right gave the Yankees their eighth
and ninth runs in the eighth inning.
Donovan and his men will be in Bos-
ton to-day, as the Giants return to the
Polo Grounds.
