Old Meadows.

Old meadows generally are lacking
in nitrogen, which is most easily sup
piled by the application Of nitrate of
soda at the rate Of 800 to 500 pounds
per acre. The only way to be sure
of the kind OF fertilizer to apply Is to
make trials Of different mixtures and
find out which gives the best results.
In most places the application OF
barnyard manure and cutting up the
meadow with a disc win be more
likely to give profitable returns than
will the application Of commercial
fertilizers.

work due to long suspension OF activities owing
TO lack Of funds. The whole project of providing
what Is accounted the nations monument to
Washington was q longdrawn-out undertaking
but this seeming hardness of action has been
atoned for by the beauty Of the structure, which
has few rivals In height, save some OF the newer
skyscrapers in New York, and which is SO jeal
ously guarded by proud people that congress
not so very long ago felt compelled to refuse
the request OF the navy department that permits
sion be granted to establish wireless telegraph
station at the top Of the monument as has been
done on the Eifel Tower In Paris.
The project to provide tribute to George
Washington at the seat of government dates from
the year 1783 when the Continental congress
voted to erect an equestrian statue and oddly
enough, selected for its site the very location
that is now occupied BY the national monument.
However, the project progressed further and
there was no further action until WASHINGTON
died at the end of the century. when congress
passed another resolution for a monument-this
bill providing for testimonial In marble or
granite beneath which should repose the remains
Of the nations greatest hero. Here. however, the
widow of General Washington interposed with
her very natural preference that the body should
rest at mount Vernon. and accordingly the whole
project again lapsed until 1928 when number
of patriotic citizens OF Washington formed an or
ganization known as the Washington Monument
association and undertook to revive interest in
the undertaking
The scheme was to provide funds by popular
subscription for erecting monument and this
canvass was pursued more or less theoretically.
but 1t was not until 184S when total Of $4,000
had been collected. that the officials Of the or
ganization considered that the funds in hand
justified the commencement Of actual work The
cornerstone was laid with due ceremony and the
work went forward for some years but additional
subscriptions did not come In at very lively
rate and finally work had to be suspended for
lack Of funds Thus the partially completed
