Housing Association . Believes Collection
 Of Garbage Is Faulty

According to a report made by the Bridgeport Housing association today, there are many conditions in and about the homes of the city which need correction. and it hopes during it's campaign of education this month fully to inform the public and in the end so enlist public cooperation that the conditions may be very materially improved.
 The association thinks that there has been a great increase in the per centage of tenement house construe- ton, and it has found many dark toi- lets and toilets in public halls in vdo- lation of the state law.
 One of the chief criticisms of pres ent building methods which the asso- citation makes is that many houses have been built and are building on the rear ends of lots. While the law forbids these structures, the council grants permission to bud1d them.
 The association has found over the city some narrow courts and lanes without good lighting at night and many of the tenements without proper fire protection. There is, 1t has also been found, inadequate collection od rubbish and garbage.

SOLD RELICS OF WASHINGTON
Two Authenticated Pistols and Med
icine Chest Of His Auctioned
In New York.

Two pistols which George Washing
ton carried through the Revolution, a
medicine chest which belonged to him
and Light Horse Harry" Lees flag
were sold at auction at New York dur
ing the past year. There are no
Washington pistols in Mount Vernon
or in the National museum at Wash
ington.
The genuineness OF the offerings
was attested by documentary rec
ord of their sale in 1904, in Alexandria,
Va, at the disposal of the effects OF
Washington's secretary, Bartholomew
cambridge, to whom the general pre-
sented the weapons. Their presence
in 1893 at the partition of the Marstel-
Ter estate is attested. Col. Philip &.
Marsteller, one of Washington's pail
bearers, bought them at the cambridge
sale for 96:3s.
The pistols are Of the flintlock type.
They were made by Hawkins OF Lon
don and bear the gunmaker's guild
proof mark &c. P" Silver hands across
the butts are engraved General
George Washington"
The medicine chest is of mahogany
and walnut, about one foot square,
with brass handles. Lees flag is about
two feet square. It had fallen apart
from age, but the pieces were saved
and are held in place by thin netting.

A "FIvinu" MaIadv,

The doctors are puzzled concerning
a strange malady that has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works and
has in one case resulted fatally. The
malady in some respects resembles
yellow jaundice,s and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling its
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated, but it has been
suggested that the source of the
trouble may be amyl acetate, which is
used as dope" solvent. Some mys
terry attaches to the affair, the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined, in spite of close ex-
animation and analysis; and, of course,
until success is attained in this direc-
ton no satisfactory precautions or
remedy can be devised.

NITRATE OF SODA
AS A fertilizer
Top Dressing on Old Meadow Is
Almost Certain to Show
Marked Results.

On an old meadow which has not
been properly fortified, a top dress
ing of nitrate of soda is almost GER
tain to show very marked results. The
farmer is likely to be so enthusiastic
over the showing made that he at
once concludes that nitrogen is the
one factor needed to make his hay
crop profitable one. Right here lies
the danger. While the first applica-
ton of nitrate of soda may show these
marked results, it is not by any means
safe to conclude that nitrogen is the
only element of fertility needed.
Repeated applications of nitrate of
soda may soon result in no apparent
benefit and even result in a final con-
dition worse than the original condi-
ton. The first application of nitrate
of soda shows such marked results be-
cause there is marked deficiency of
nitrogen in the soil; but there is suf-
ficient of the other fertilizing ele-
ments, particularly phosphorus and
potassium, to balance the nitrogen
used.
The increased crop yields from the
use of nitrate of soda make an in
creased drain upon the available phos-
phOrus and potassium of the SOIL No
effort being made to replace these ele-
ments thus removed the time very
soon comes when no response is re-
ceived from the application of nitrate
of soda because the phosphoric acid
and potash have been depleted, or,
in other words, are the limiting fac
tors.
AS a rule, where nitrate of soda is
used as a fertilizer it is a safe princi-
pie to use in connection with it some
form of phosphorus and potassium,
having in mind permanent results
rather than temporary increase due
to the nitrate of soda.

(By H. E. DVORACHEK, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College)
Cement is coming to be used more
and more for construction work on
the farm. This is only in keeping with
progress made in concrete construc-
ton along other lines. A great many
objections are made to concrete as
suitable material for silo construction.
Besides a number of others, the fol-
lowing are some of the most common:
Concrete walls allow mold and decay
around the walls, are affected by the
acid of silage, and they cannot be
built to keep them from cracking and
thus leak air. Observation of concrete
and stave silos standing side by side
shows that the freezing is no greater
in one than the other. By coating the
walls with a wash of neat cement or
tar pitch they can be made perfectly
air, water and acid proof. If properly
REINFORCED and made of suitable ma
