the oak about rs years ago 1t never should have
been removed.
1t is said that Washington selected the place
where his body now lies and left instructions
that day the change of sepulcher should be
made. The oa1 which guarded the first grave
must have been standing for three centuries.
The view from the place is inspiring enough to
eHkindle the eyes os dead man. The view from
the tomb is fine in its way, but 1t is moth
ing to the grand sweep of river, hilltops and for
ests which moves before the eye from the place
where Washington slept for 80 years.
Hundreds of visitors go to Mount Vernon
daily. They peer into the tomb and then
straightway go to the house. There is inter-
est, of course, which must attach to any of the
belongings of Washington but it seems to be a
legitimate matter of regret that of the thousands
who go to Mount Vernon the interest in the mir
which Washington used when he shaved and
in the spoon with which he ate his porrdge, IL
he ate porrdge, is far greater than in the forest
trees under which he walked and in the garden
Whole hedges of formal cut planted with
his own hand.
Indoors at Mount Vernon everything is dead;
outdoors everything is alive. The forest and
garden instinct with Washington; the con-
tents of the house are dust.
There is a real interest, however, in the
library of the old home. In the main the books
are simply copies of those which the
shelves in Washington's time. The originals as

RAvAeEs OF LOCO" WEED
Experiments Prove concIusively
stockmen Were Right in Ascribino
Poisonous Properties to Plant.

1t was evident that the first thing
to do in the field experiment was to
prove whether the loco weeds did or
did not produce the disease. That
there was some disease causing loss
there was no question. The pictures
show some of the animals at different
stages of the investigation. Horses
and cattle were furnished by the Col
orado Experiment station, which CO.
operated in the work, and at later
stage in the investigation another CO.
operative experiment with the Nebras-
ka Experiment station was carried on
in western Nebraska, writes c. Dwight
Marsh in American Review of Re-
views. Two similar pieces of land
were selected; one was freed of the
loco and in the other the loco, which
was there in an abundant crop, was
left standing. The stock was divided
and part pastured on the loco pas
ture and part on the loco-free pas
ture. Other animals were fed in the
corrals purple and white loco which
were cut for the purpose.
The results of these experiments
proved very interesting. The animals
in the loco pasture ate freely OF the
weed; their coats became smoother
and they gained rapidly in flesh. Ev-
erything pointed toward the probable
ity of the non-poisonous character of
the plant. This opinion was strength
ened by the failure to find, in the
Washington laboratory, any evidence
of poison.
After some weeks of feeding, how
ever, it was noticed, somewhat sud-
denly, that one or two of the cattle
stumbled as they walked. A series
of symptoms followed rapidly upon
those first noticed, and in short time
our animals began to die. Before the
end of the season nearly all the anil
mails to which had been fed any con-
siderable amount of loco were dead,
while those that we're kept in the
locofree pasture remained perfectly
well. The first seasons work proved
conclusively that the stockmen were
right in ascribing poisonous proper
ties to the loco plants. Loco would
kill, and the manner of death showed
those symptoms which the stockmen
claimed to be characteristic of To-
coed animals. Further work in Wash
of the field work, and the demonstra-
ton was complete of the poisonous
character of the loco weeds.
