therefore, how much l was alarmed ono

WE'RE o

The writer had occasion to buy n con-
siderable quantity of mixed feed for stock
and concluded to take the advice given
in this department and send a portion of
several kinds to the state experiment sta
ton for examination. The result was
startling, for in TWO cases out of four the
station people held that the price asked
for the mixture was moro than double
what the ingredients would cost singly
in the open market. The third sample was
considerable better and the fourth repre-
scented honest goods, so We bought them.
One feature of the case was that the re-
liable goods were just $500 a ton higher
in price than the two kinds that were
practically worthless. Unfortunately With
these mixed feeds it is difficult to judge
of their quality except by such expert
means as the station people employ, so
that one is likely to half starve an ami
NAL when he thinks he is feeding it libcr-
ally. All the authorizations are not in food
for humans by any means.

PUDDLE THE TREE ROOTS.

When trees or shrubs are set late in the
season, that is when the spring rains are
practically over, the roots will dry out
Very quickly and the tree or shrub not
have 4 fair start unless they are thor
oughly prepared before setting. An ideal
way of doing this is to dig a hole three
feet deep and about as wide, in clay soil
mass of about the consistency of mortar.
Into this mud place the roots of each tree,
thoroughly covering them with the mud.
Let them be in the mixture for five min
utes. This pudding should not be done,
however. until after the bruised roots have
been cut off and the tree is all ready for
setting. This coating of mud and water
will help them stand considerable drought

From the shore the chain of frozen
ridges appeared to reach unbroken a
solid wall reared against the ocean; but
the sea surging against it forced wind
ing openings here and there, through
which steamships by careful navigation
could pick their course though the feat
was one of difficulty and danger.
Inside the bay the harbor Is choked
with foes, and a number of vessels are
imprisoned as fast in the ice q If they
were wintering in the Arctic.
In making their way UP the Delaware
several vessels were caught by the ice
foes and driven ashore.
Only few of the day marks in the
bay and river remain in position, all
having been torn from their stations by
the drift ice.

lecture last night by Dr. Edwin A.
Grosvenor before the National Geo
graphic Society
The address was on THE Evolution OF
Russian Government and, in the treat

the ground that Russia's slow political
development has been due to her geo
Erap1y, her history and the nature OF
her people. He explained that Russia
offers little opportunity for resistance
against armed oppression, as her plains
are easily swept by artillery

Thicker1ing Ice in River
Increases Flood Menace
Approved by Engineer DougIas-Last
Night Coolest of the Year.
the Japanese.

There was no material change in con-
ditions on the river today, beyond the
fact that the intense cold of the night
probably added an inch or two TO the
thickness of the ice. At least Harbor-
master Sutton said today that he
thought the ice was thicker than it
was yesterday. From Little Falls down
10 the new Highway bridge, there is
practically one solid sheet of ice, rang
ing from ten to sixteen inches thick.
Below the new bridge the ice Is not
quite thick, but is almost solid from
edge to edge. From Alexsandria to the
mouth of the river there is one vast
expanse of ice, with only a narrow cham
mel, which was hewn by the Norfolk
steamers. This channel remains open
during the day, but freezes over at
night, and then comes the struggle to
open the passage again the next day.
The Norfolk boat arrived at noon to-
day. five hours late. 1t is an absolute
impossihility 10 make any time against
the ice, which. III many places, is caked
together in great blocks several feet
thick.
Does Not Favor Dynamite.
There have been several consultations
ct the District building between Har-
bormaster Sutton and the Commission
ers as to the best method to lesson the
danger of ice gorges along the lower
bridges There was some talk yester-
day OF experimenting with dynamite on
the sheet ice, but W. J. Douglas, en-
gineer of bridges, said today that this
would be absolutely useless. There is
no outlet for the ice even if it were
broken up.
The use of dynamite would simply

danger of gorges and floods. Mr..
Douglass said that he might make some
experiments with dynamite on the gorge
which is beginning to form at the base
OF the new Highway bridge.
Coolest OF the Year
Last night was by many pronounced
as the coolest of the year. At least, the
cold was felt TO a greater extent than
ever before At o'clock this morning
the temperature was five degrees above
zero, which was the minimum in the
last twenty-four hours The tempera-
ture was not much above this at any
time during the night.
The Weather Bureau says that Wash
ington barely missed a snowstorm- 1t
struck Virginia and went south into

caster as tc tbs The weather viii con-
