HARTFORD'S BURNED BRIDGE.
Many Attempts Had Been Made to Destroy
1t Before, but All Were Futile.


The old East Hartford bridge, which was de-
stroyed by fire on Friday night had been an
eyesore to the citizens of Connecticuts capital
for many years, and provocative OF more BIAS
phsmy on the part Of the East Hartford farm
ers than even the occasional failures OF the to-
bacco crop. II q truthful history of the bridge
Is ever written 1t will surely show that the ram
shackle old wooden structure was a contrlvance
of old Nick himself, and that many souls were
put In peril because OF 1t. Otherwise righteous
men have been tempted to awful deeds by the
obstinate refusal OF the bridge TO obliterate it,
self and, IL the records OF the past are any
guide it's final destruction was not the result of
accident
As was mentioned in THE SUNS account
of the burning of tho bridge, 1t was built
In 1890. Her builders obtained a charter
which forbade the erection OF any other bridge
as long as theirs remained standing. and they
were allowed to charge certain tolls. No effort
was made TO improve the bridge from the time
Il was completed. 1t was built entirely OF wood,
with stone pillars for foundation, and was COW
cred with wooden roof. The flooring was of
loose tim bsrs, which ratified whenever wagon
passed over them, and In later years raised .

Cultivation of Asparagus.

One of the best asparagus growers IN
New Mexico is Mrs. L. B. Catron, OF Santa
Fe, wife of the congressman elect from
that territory, and quite an amateur gar
dener at her beautiful home in the ante
quated city on the Rio Chiouito. Her
plan is to grow the asparagus so that 1t
can always be cut as soon as the heads
appear above ground and before they
commence to get green. As Mrs. Catron
says, "The greener they get at one end,
the harder they get at the other" The
bedswas originally laid out by planting
the asparagus in trenches four feet apart
and one foot apart in the rows. The sur
face of the soil had previously been re-
duced to fine filth, good deal of littery
manure being incorporated. After plant
ing, the surface soil between the rows
was gradually hoed up so as to form
ridge two feet wide over the plants, leav-
ing furrow for irrigation of equal size
between the ridges.-Denver Field and
Farm.
