MANURE WILL HELP PASTURE
Top Dressing often Will Bring About
Improvement Where Grasses
Are undeveloped.

When pasture begins to fail 1t may
often be improved without ploughing
by topdressing the land literally with
barnyard manure or acid phosphate
with lime. This Is usually the case
where the pasture has plenty Of the
good pasture grasses which, however,
are poor and undeveloped. A top
dressing on such a pasture will not
only bring good crop Of grass in
two or three years but also drive out
some Of the weeds that overrun the
rundown pasture lands. This top
dressing will be better than reseeding
where the soil Is exhausted.
Where there is decided dearth Of
good grasses, liberal applications Of
manure may be combined with plow-
ing and reseeding. Where 1t Is neces-
sary to pillow as well as topdress with
a manure and fertilizer, 1t is good
idea to grow a crop Of potatoes or oats
or perhaps buckwheat. Such crop
will pay the cost of reseeding, then
the following year good crop of hay
can be taken Off, and after that good
pasturage may be had for many years.

city long before Washington was even

a small motorboat can get up as far as

even such a small boat Is likely to

Thriving Port Near Extinction.
Bladensburg was thriving port OF
entry, a great tobacco shipping point
1t boasted hotels and warehouses and
numerous beautiful colonial mansions
several of which still stand. Today II
is village of small population and
probably would have disappeared al
together were it not for the fact that
1t is near Washington.
Probably the most interesting of the
lost cities Is Port Tobacco. Old maps
OF Maryland show this place marked
with the large star or circle as indi.
eating an important center. Mary.
landers lean strongly on tradition and
even today the maps show Port
Tobacco as second-class city. Not
more than three families live there
at present.
Port Tobacco, obviously, was one OF
the busiest of the tobacco exporting
points. 1t stood on an estuary Of the
Potomac. From II radiated the roads
peculiar to southern Maryland, roads
over which the planters rolled their
huge hogsheads of tobacco, Its court
house was the pride Of that Section
Its hotel was the social center of the
country. In its public square was a
marble fountain and It's warehouses
occupied wide spaces II was an i'm
portant colonial port. Today it is not
port at all. There is no water al
Port Tobacco. The stream has been
filed in by erosion to such an extent
that its banks are half mile away
from the town.
Now a Deserted Village.
Port Tobacco clung to its traditions
for some years after Its water high
way had deserted it because II was
the county seat. LaPlata, a new anG
growing town some three miles away
which had sprung up when the rail
road came through, was jealous OF
Port Tobacco's courthouse. LaPlntf
argued that Port Tobacco was declin
ing and herself growing and peti
toned the legislature to move tn,

strong and the courthouse stayed a

The jealousy Of LaPlata was no
abated and, the legend says, finall.

find In the usual manure pile condi-
tions favorable for their development.
Through their operations organic mat
ter is broken down into simpler chem
ical forms. one Of which is ammonia.
Heating Of the pile also occurs. Both
Of these occurrences are familiar ia
everyone around a stable or where
piles of manure are about.
When manure is spread evenly In
the open field not only are the condi-
tions which make for the activity of
the bacteria overcome, but new fac
tors tending to check their continued
operation are introduced. The mere
fact that the waste no longer lies in o
pile is matter of considerable mo
ment, for the pile, as already indi
Gated, furnishes the physical sur
roundings most favorable for the op-
Grafton Of these organisms. Moisture,
which they need, is present in inst the
right amount. Air In the pile supplies
them with the oxygen which they re-
quire. The mass of waste holds the
heat which is generated in the chem
ical reactions which accompany the
processes Of decay. This, In turn,
makes possible even greater activity
on the part Of the bacteria.

Piscataway was port on an estu-
ary Of the Potomac not far from
Mount Vernon. 1t is perhaps the best
preserved of the three typical lost
cities, 1t would not be possible to get
even canoe up the stream which IN
the old days bore ships big enough to
cross the Atlantic. Piscataway is at
least three miles from navigable wa
ter. The town is some fifteen miles
from the nearest railroad and, there

colonial days as can be found.

sions. Some of them stand starkly
empty, with loose shutters banging in
the wind. One or two are still kept up
by survivors of the old families that
once flourished there, and few are
used as tenement houses by negroes.
The single tiny store and post office
could not live were 1t not supported by
the surrounding country, for the port
which once had merchants who sent
ships to England now has not to ex-
ceed hundred souls.
Dies With the Farms.
Yorktown Is across the pay on the
Virginia shore. Its fate Is attributable
to somewhat different causes. Its wa
ter highway, the York river, has :iot
filled up, for the current and tide are
extremely rapid Mt that point. But
the washing away Of the topsoil .:s
impoverished the farms. Yorktown
once was the port of entry for Phila-
delphia and New York, being regarded
as an important place. Today 1t has
population of 300, half negro. Yet
its harbor, the mouth Of the York riv-
er, is one Of the most magnificent In
this country. During the war the At
lantic fleet anchored in the harbor of
the little town, and after the armis-
tlce more than a thousand shipping
board vessels were moored there. The
harbor is so feet deep.
But progress mas tricked these cities
into oblivion. The very activity and
prosperity Of the early days hastened
their decay. The more industriously
the planters plowed to produce the
wealth OH which the cities throve the
more surely was their tate being
sealed.

of Huron county, Michigan. Other
appropriations In that state are as
follows: Eaton county, $4,000. Cal
houn county, $4,000; Oceana, $4,000; ;
Clinton, $1,000; Muskegon, 5000, and
Monroe $1,000. Hillsdale county, the
nrst In the country to have all cattle
tested, has made an additional ap-
preparation Of $500 to continue the
work through the SECOND year. A
number Of other counties have made
additional appropriations Of $1,000

Strides m Area Work.
The board Of supervisors in num-
ber Of counties In North Carolina have
made appropriations to assist in fight
ing tuberculosis ON the area plan.
Some Kentucky counties have used
money for this purpose from the gen.
eral tax levy.
Nebraska is making long strides In
area work, and the county officials are
fast appreeiating the fact that era

one in the county and that, therefore,
the funds for carrying on the work
should be derived from taxation.
