CAREFUL AUTOISTS WATCH LAMPS IN
 STAMFORD TOWN

Automobilists are congratulating themselves that their tail-lights, kead- lights and speedometers were worf1ng accurately as they passed through the Bridgeport and New Haven, for 1t be- came known that one of the most rig i'd automobile traps ever set in this section went into operation under the guidance of Sheriff Daniel Russell near Avon Park that night
 A large corps of sheriffs and con- stables were posted at Avon Park and the gates of St. sNichael's cen- etery for the purpose of apprehending those who failed to observe the strict letter of the law, and many passed by under c1osennargin Several cars were stopped by the sheriff for lack of front and rear lights
 An amusing incident was staged at midnight when a large Packard tour ing car belonging to the Boulevard Garage, containing party of g. or persons and another car in which were Dan Scei and Arnold Carg1lI, of Bridgeport Were stopped near St. NichaePs cemetery. It appeared that in trying to pass the larger and slow moving car, the little car was seen abreast of it by those in waiting. The inference first taken by the SheEiffs was that the cars were racing, but, when the matter had been fully eoz- pIatned, the drivers were not held. The occupants of the cars were the sub ject of much congratulation over their careful driving, whfchf also tends to show that, though enforcing the law in Stratford, no attempt is being made to take advantage of those who proceed within, reasonable speed linn it's.
 Other amusing incidents were, nos ticeabIe upon the road when autoists sighting the red lights stopped their cars with one accord to observe both the front and rear lights. This halo it is becoming com mon throughout Stratford where some cars have been known to stop every five. or six blocks to assure their drivers that the lighWs are not jared out

RE0fARKABLE METAL.

(Enganeering and Mining Journal-1
 This is a tale from Russia although its geographical situation is of small account, except as explaining some pez cunarities- of its English. It runs somewhat as follows: In the Nanan- ganska mountains, in the district of Ferghana, a new metal has been dis covered whose properties are surpris- ing and remarkable.
 A .prospector found, besides rich de- posits of asbestos and rare ores of different kinds, a .dough-lilke metallic substance of a dirty brown color, which was not known to either chem ists or metalIurgists before. He sent a sample of the stuff to the chemical laboratory in Mosxva, where it was most surprising results When the ore was treated with aAds an inten- sive cold was developed. The glass that held the acid was disintegrated into powder. Vessels of stone and DOT celain were reduced in the same man. ner. Iron vessels to hold the acid were then tried, but they exploded instantly and were reduced to atoms The chem ists then tried it on large piece of granite. This was instantly disin- tegrated and reduced to gravel with out explosion or generation of gas dof any kind
 When alkalil1es were brought into contact with this new substance the vessel containing the alkaline lost 20 per cent in weight. So far as the chemists have yet been able to ascer- tain this new substance is in no way related to. radium. One of the most curious phenomena concerning it is that substances coming in contact with it lose much of their weight
 By which we are reminded again of the traveler-farnner dialog. There's a great scientist lives up there You he drf2 els looking for an acid that will dissolve everything" Head scratching by Reu- ben" Huh, whats he going to put it in? ?''

 The span will have a total weight Of over 26,O0O tons, equal to 53sOOB pounds per linear foot, including about 1000 tons Of high carbon structural steel, equivalent to s8.OOO pounds per linear foot The great weight is due to the heavy loading specified.

the tubers, especially the larger ones.
AS a result of these tests the follow
ing recommendations are made: We
advise rotation. having potatoes on a
different piece of land each year. A
good four-year rotation is-() Corn,
(2) Potatoes. (3) Rye. az Legum-
inous crop. (Sow in fall with the rye,
or the following spring) Growing po-
tatoes on the same land two or more
years in succession increases scab. II
manure is used, plow 1t in in the pre-
ceding fall. If heavy coat of manure
is used with the corn, commercial fer
tilizers only may be used with the po-
tatoes. Nitrate of soda, $50 pounds;
muriate of potash. 200 pounds; acid
phosphate. 400 pounds; and tankage.
$50 pounds, makes an excellent home
mixed fertilizer.
A thorough cultivation in the ma
ture of combined levelridge culture. Is
recommended. That is, give thorough
level cultivation up to the last two
and then begin to ridge up the rows.
moderately at first, and as much as
possible the second time.
AS year after year, wet or dry. we
have produced increased yields due to
spraying with Bordeaux mixture. we
recommend spraying as a yearly fea-
ture in growing potatoes.

A very interesting series of tests in

clusively that great advantage is to be
gained by spraying for blight. In four

severe, out of A comparisons of so
feet of sprayed vines with the corre-

first being about the middle of July,

SEASONS TO DESTROY WORMS
Peach and Apple Tree Borers May Be
Best EradIcated In the Fall or
Early In the Spring.

The fall and early spring is the two
best seasons for destroying these
worms. II not killed they will In a
year or two completely girdle. and
thus destroy the tree. The most ef-
fectual method to destroy them is to
dig away the earth from around the
base of each tree to the depth of six
or eight inches. scrape the bark. clean
and insert the end of wire into their
burrow and kill them.
II the worm cannot be found use
sharppointed knife and cut narrow
strip OF the bark lengthwise of the
trunk; he may usually be found just
inside the bark. Examine each tree
closely, kill them, then rub in rosin
soap to fill up the wound.
The same means should be taken
against the peach tree grub.
After the trees are wormed and
dug around pack about one peck Of
wood or coal ashes around the base
of each tree and allow this to remain
until late In the summer. This pre-
vents the beetles from depositing
their eggs in the soft bark at the sur
face of the ground. the place usually
selected. The fall is the best time to
scrape the green moss off the trunk
and larger limbs. A short-handled hoe,
ground sharp. is an excellent little
scraper. The young green bark should
not be injured. After scraping wash
the larger limbs and trunk of each
tree with warm water and soft soap.
Hard wood ashes may be used instead
of soap. If ashes cannot be had to
pack around the trees, use Stacked
lime.
