Peach Leaves VS.. sheep,

1t may not be known that peach leaves
are poisonous, and often prove fatal when
eaten by animals. A few days since, in
Western New York, we witnessed the
death of two sheep, caused by eating free
ly of peach leaves. The peach is native
of Sicily, we believe, and was originally
poisonous; but by cultivation, has become
one of the most delicious Of fruits. The
leaves, however, are said TO contain prusslc
acid. Sheep should never De allowed to
run in peach orchards. Several cases
have occurred in which cattle have been
poisoned by eating the leaves OF the wild
cherry. The tame cherry Is equally
poisonous. Ii has been said that cherry
leaves are free from poison until the leaves
have wilted, but cases have been known in
which the green leaves have proved poison
Gus and fatal 10 animals.
In the case we Witnessed, the sheep ex-
hibited vertigo and trembling. and frothed
at the mouth, and evidently endured much
pain. After seven hours had elapsed, a
noble lamb, belonging TO one of the poison
ed sheep, came up and called out urgently
for his supper. The sick and dying
mother raised her head, turned and looked
pieously at her offspring, crying with
hunger. Ncrved with a spirit ofmaternal al-
lection, she struggled and gained an upright
position, and with much difficulty main
tanned it and gave nurse TO the bleating
lamb. This done, she laid down and died
instantly; and, we presume, in peace.
Various remedies have been suggested.
A writer in the Massachusetts FIowman
recommends pint Of New England rum,
mixed with pint Of molasses, and given
to each grown animal; one third Of the
quantity for lamb. Salt would doubt
less be beneficial, as It is useful in cases
ot poison from The bite of snake, the sting
of bees, &c. A gill of sweet oil, lard or
fresh butter, given in pint of new milk, it
IS said, will sometimes effect a cure
Most vegetable poisons, however, are
acids, and require alkaIies to neutralize
them. Ammonia, ley, of wood ashes,
and pot and pearl ashes are used for the
purpose.-Bt0alO U00t Growsr,
