Paris Intelligencer: eve learn
that number of farmers in this coun-
ty have recently lost some of their
sheep, which can only be accounted
for by their eating the burrs of the
jamestown weed. The seeds of this
plant contain a large amount of an
active poison, and this is no doubt
the real cause Of the trouble. The
only safe course is to keep the sheep
where they cannot get the burrs or
seed of this poisonous plant. If sheep
have eaten of these and it can be dis
covered in time, good remedy would
be half pint of castor-oil and .
tablespoonful of salt to each sick
sheep"
