ICE IN THE
DELAWARE RIVER

Bridgeton people visiting Philadel-
phia this week marvel that the staunch
ferry boats of the Pennsylvania rail-
road company can get through the ice
and make the trip from one side OF
the Delaware river to the other. Peo-
pie who have had business on and
about the river for many years declare
that they have never seen the ice
when it was practically solid from
shore to shore.
Yesterday and the night before the
ice troubles were especially serious
Boats had the greatest difficulty in get
ting through and occasionally ferry
boat would get caught in a big ice
pack and an hour would elapse before
it can be moved either way. The rail-
road company has its powerful tug
boats making circuitous routes about
the river to break up the ice, but even
this makes it difficult to keep naviga-
ton open. 1t is practically impossible
to get freight barges through the ice
and much freight matter is held up.
1t is feared that it will be weeks
before the river is in normal condition.

ties, due to location and variation in
temperature. In the southern coun-
ties. where the temperature has not
fallen below degrees, such varieties
as Elberta. Belle of Georgia, Carman,
Hiley and Greensboro are probably
uninjured
Varieties such as Greensboro, Wad-
dell, CarinasS and Hiley should have
sufficient number of live buds to
produce crop in all portions of the
State.
As certain varieties such as Reeves
Favorite, Mountain Rose, Fox Seed
ling and Stump were practically a
failure in 1911, it will be forced upon
the attention of peach growers that a
proper selection of varieties, with ref
erence to hardness, is a very impor-
tant consideration in planting COM
mercial orchards in New Jersey.

their drug departments, but there are
many small groceries which, it is
Claimed, might have to discontinue
stocks of patent medicines they now
carry. The exception in favor OF com
munities of less than 1000 population
or within three miles of a pharmacy
is regarded as practically useless.
Senator Colgate says he was una
ware of the inclusion of the provision
as to storekeepers in the bill. He has
number of amendments that we're
suggested to him, mainly of a tech
nical character.

PEACH PROSPECTS
IN new JERSEY
Some Iojury by the Cold
Weather.
CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
Some Varieties Are Not Much In
jured, While Others Show
More Severe Loss.

Reports of recent severe injury to
peach buds have been made from
many parts of the country, and re-
port of their condition in New Jersey
may be of interest at this time.
Unusually warm weather prevailed
in the early winter which caused
peach buds to made slight growth
This was followed by abnormally low
temperatures in January and some in
jury to buds has resulted.
When the temperature falls much
below 10 degrees, some injury to
peach buds is likely to occur, although
there is a marked difference in varie-
ties. Such sorts as Early and Late
Crawford, Reeves Favorite and Noun
tain Rose are quite sensitive to low
temperatures, while Greensboro, Wad-
dell and Carman are much harder.
A recent examination of peach buds
at the experiment station at New
Brunswick showed the following re-
Suits
Belle of Georgia, S per cent. alive.
Elberta, IL per cent alive
Reeves Favorite, 13 per cent alive
Alexander, 39.5 per cent. alive
Greensboro, 91-5 per cent. alive.
Carman, 81 per cent. alive
An examination of the buds at the
experiment orchard at High Bridge,
showed about so per cent. of the buds
. of Mountain Rose and Elberta to be
alive, with a much larger proportion
of the buds of such sorts as Green's
. boro, Carman and Hiley in good con-
dition.
At the experiment orchard at Vine
land, N. j., the only variety to show
serious injury was Reeves Favorite,
with slight injury to such sorts as
Early and Late Crawford, Fox Seed
ling, Stump and Mountain Rose
AS an estimate of the condition
throughout the. State, it is probable
that considerable proportion of the
buds of such tender varieties as
Reeves Favorite and Early Crawford
have been destroyed, while consider
able injury has undoubtedly occurred
to such varieties as Elberta, Cham
pion and Belle of Georgia in the CEN
trail and northern portions of the
state. There is probably considerable
variation in the amount Of injury in
different orchards of the same varie-

is either partially or completely
paralyzed. The tongue is para
lyzed and protudes from the
mouth, and saliva falls in streams
from the lips. The pupil is di-
lated and as a rule, the conjucti.
ava is congested. The pulse is
variable and may be very rapid
and hard, or scarcely perceptible.
Respiration is hurried and jerky.
The temperature may be highly
elevated, which indicates re-
sistance of the animal to the dis
ease, and becoming sub. normal
it indicates approaching death
The sub acute cases are slower in
their development aud the symp.
toms are not SO violent, while in
the abOrtive cases there are no
well marked constitutional symp-
toms, and improvement usually
takes place on the third or fourth
day.
There is no known means of
artificial protection and the dis
ease will recur if the animals are
again allowed access to spoiled
feed. 1t would be well, there
fore, to investigate the condition
of the corn and rOughage, and to
feed sparingIy or not at all, in Or
der to protect against further loss
from this trouble.

be something doing in town next

it is said that the men are fine
singers, which will add to their

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION.


Inquiries as to the cause and
nature of a peculiar disease in
cattle, horses and mules from diff
ferent localities in the state have
been received at the experiment
station. The Infected animals at
these different places present the
same general symptoms, with
slight variations which might be
expected. The disease appears
only when horses and mules are
fed on grain OF roughage which
has become overgrown with
mold, either in the pasture or the
barn. An outstanding feature in
every outbreak is that the affect
ed animals have had access to
unwholesome feed either while at
pasture or in the stable. The
corn may appear sound, but on
close examination it is found TO
be affected with a mold. Vari-
Gus Heterogeneous have been
found to be associated with the
disease, but the toxins produced
by the mold Wien introduced in
-
to the stOmaclftMthe animal pro-
duce death. Serious disease has
long been known to result IN an
imals from many feeds, as un
clean or damaged fodder, unclean
water, musiy hay, nodded corn,
decomposed potatoes, etc.
The so-called forage poisoning
among horses, mules and COWS is
"a non-cOmmunicable disease,
which belongs to group of cry
togramic poisoning and is pro-
duced only when feed contami-
mated by molds is eaten. Horses
are more susceptible than mules,
though not invariably. The dis
ease is characterized by symp.
toms which are referable to a
disturbance in the nervous svs-
tenn, the mortality runs very high
and but few, we'll developed cas-
es recover. Sucking foals do not
contract the disease. In the same
outbreak the disease may mani
fest itself in one of three forms,
acute, sub-acute and abortive-
and is referred to under the term
crytogamic poisoning, forage pois-
oning, enzootic cerebritis, cpl
sootic cerebro-spinal meningitis,
leuco- encophalitis, grass staggers,
choking distemper, blind stag
gers, putrid sore throat, etc. The
present season is especially fav-
orable to the production Of this
disease. as dry season, follow
ed by rains, is favorable to the
development of vegetable poisons
on the grass and fodder, which
consumed in large quantities, re-
suit fatally. The acute type is
characterized by the abruptness
of its appearance with grave gen.
eral disturbances, which imme.
diately manifest themselves. The
animal may succomb in one
night. There is sometimes vIo-
lent trembling and twisting of
the muscles over the entire body,
producing irregular and uncer.
tain gait. Sometimes the animal
walks in a circle. The gait is
