Live A ’ 8 hrub That Is a Poison to. : Stock. • * A. new menace to' live stock In the higher altitudes of some of the range states is a straggling.' branching shrub from three to seven foot in height known as memdesln. It is found nt a! tltudea of from 3,500 to 0,000 feet In northern California, Wyoming, Oregon. Idaho and Washington. Another ape- eles that is not known to be poisonous Is found in the southern Alleghenies' In the west the plant grows on the moist northern, slopes In open woods and about tho “balds.1* The symptoms of poisoning.exhibited by stock are frothing pt the mouth, staggering gait, usually more or less paralysis arid sometimes difficult breathing ami nausea, .A considerable quantity of the plant Is thought-to be necessary to producedangerous results. Menziesiii Is not an appetizing shrub, and sheep will hot eat it unless there Is a lack of good forage.. When driven along trails bordered Jiy the plant they are likely to eat It In considerable amounts. When beddiug grounds are frequently used the flock may on ac­ count of the scarcity of good grazing eat the leaves of the poisonous shrub. Although some Investigative work has been done by the United States department of agriculture, not much Is- known about the treatment of poisoned ■stock. ,A pamphlet containing a <Te scription of the plant has been pub tlshed. The only remedy a t present is prevention. Herdsmen should learn to recognize .the plant, The leaves uiv thlm- from one to two Indies iong and from half ah inch to -an Inch wide The. bell shaped-' flowers, vary from pink to greenish white and are quarter of on Inch across, growing from ter­ minal buds and expanding with the leaves.—Country Gentleman, .

Clover Is hot only highly nitrogenous, but rich In time, a sub­ stance required by the hens for pro­ viding shells for the eggs. Milk producers who know it best con­ cede that alfalfa is an invaluable feed In the dairy, closely akin to Wheat bran In results amt usually much less ex­ pensive. In the average smntl town er dty there Is about one cow for every ten or fifteen people. Therefore lu a town of 1.000 population there will probably be 73 to 100 cows. ,If alfalfa will Increase the quantity of their milk and butter fat. giving a product nt a lower' cost than the concentrated foods.
