THE POISONING OF MIR. BAMEY's CATTLE
On the 25th of April last several cows belonging
to Mr.. Amos II. Bailey, near Level, were turned
into pasture field and died a short time after
wards, from eating, it is supposed, some poison
Gus plant. Mr.. VIM. 5. Bowman brought to
our office specimens of the supposed pois.
oneus vegetable, which we sent to the country
Gentleman to have 1t named and described. In
its last issuc the Country Gentleman says:
"The COWS were not poisoned by the plant
sent, which was "touch me.not' balsam, Impd-
tie,,s tatlvd and entirely harmless to stock
Since the above was in type, we have received
two more plants from the same place which the
owner of the poisoned cows thinks may have
caused the trouble. Both, however, are appar-
emily ''smart-weeds, "Iolygonun, and would not
piper, and the other +. acre. The latter Is the
one which was described as very pungent"
The cause of the death of Mr. Bailcy's cows
is therefore as far from being solved as ever.
