VAN HALTERN HAS BEST
RECORD IN HISTORY

New York, Aug. 4.-They talk about
Eddie Collins and George Burns hang
ing up high marks in the matter of
consecutive games, and the records
show that both players have been
consistent, everyday performers.
But leave it to the old-time fan to
dig up something better in the mat
ter of any old kind of a record. Such
a fan Is Clinton B. Dodge, of New
York. who comes forth with the Zig
gers to show that George Van Hal
tern, the old Giant outfielder. has 'em
all tied to a post in playing consecu-
time games with a record that Col
Inns, Burns or any other player in the
business will have to go some to
equal.
Mr.. Dodge says the records of Col.
Inns and Burns are mighty good ones,
but in looking back over his old files
he has found that Van Haltern played
464 consecutive pastimes between the
seasons of 1897 and 1901, record which
is likely to stand for years to come.

W Nst H.p,sa Asaia

ryrus Raymond Cobb suffered
the disappointment Of his major
league career last season when
iris Speaker won the battirg
honors Of the American LeaSus.
For = great part Of the season
Cobb really believed that he could
cut down Speakers lead In the
closing weeks of the race and
finish In front. a. he had for 40
many years Ty tried hard, bit
no matter how. well he bstted.
Speaker did just q little better,
and Cobb. for the frst time in his
career. took another players dust.
This year Tyrus does not intend
to let any such thing happen. He
started slowly. but finally went
ahead and he continues to show
the way TO all rivals by wide
margin. The noted Georgian viii
be at the Polo Grounds for the
next four days. and as he never
loafs in his work the fans are
certain to see all the IRE and dash
that Cobb alone Is capable Of
showing.

 FALL FLOW THE GARDEN.


 Editor The Pulaskian
 Whether the garden crops are for home use or for market there is much to be gained by starting the planting at the earliest possible date. As a rule the garden making could be started earlier if the ground was dry enough to blow. By blowing the gar den in the fall it is possible to start planting operations earlier in the spring. for fall plowed land will dry quicker and will be ready to plant sooner than spring plowed land.
 The fall plowed garden should be left without narrowing or smoothing in any way. The rough surface will catch the winter rain and let the Wa ter soak into the subsoil below. Thus more soil moisture IS stored and at he same time the surface soil which s worked in preparing ,. seed bed is in condition that it dries quickly.
 The greatest benefit to fall plowed land is derived from the distintegrat- ing effect of alternate freezing and thawing and this action can exert it's fullest effect upon the rough. unwork. cd furrow slice. Winter freezing and having mellows the soil in way that cannot be accomplished by any kind CT amount of cultivation. During the first sunny days of early spring the rough surface of fall plowed land 1ries sufficiently to be worked down and planted to early vegetables. On the other hand, land which lies un- turned smooth and fiat during the rains and snows of winter and spring, remains too wet to handle until late If plowed deep in the spring il is of ten difficult to get the seedbed work ed down as compact as it should be.
 A method which has made it possi- ble for us to get early vegetables started at an earlier date than they can be planted in ground handled in the usual way consists in the ridging of soil at the time of fall blowing. A lister will do the work in fine shape otherwise it can be done with a com mon single blow by throwing two fur rows together. Land ridges in this manner offers greater surface to the drying and warming action of sun and wind and consequently is in condi- ton to be worked at an earlier date than land plowed in the usual way. h he spring it is only necessary to split the ridges with blow and pro ceed to prepare a seed bed for the crop that isAto be planted. In planting he garden, 1t is a good plan to place any crops that are to remain in the ground all winter at once side so that they will not prevent fall blowing the principal pat of the land
