Dangerous Stock Food.

Some resident of the neighbor-
hood where deer, thought to have
been killed by the black tongue,
we're found some time since, give
it as their opinion that the deaths
were caused by their feeding upon
frost-bitten pea vines. Only in tie
localities where the deer had access
10 such pasturage were any found
dead and post mortems Of those
discovered revealed the fact that
they had eaten of the frost-biiten
vines. IF this be the cause of the
ds1ths it would be well for the
fsrmers to look to the grazing OF
t.,ir stock. A horse or a COW is
