This is the good advice given by a Cult
vator correspondent
Many diseases aud deaths of cattle and
fowl come from poisonous plants or weeds,
and great deal of the strong milk and un.
savory meat is due TO the same cause. In
the spring Of the year the poisonous plants
spring up with the weeds, and spread rap
idly. Even some Of our cultivated plants,
when exposed to certain conditions of the
air, become poisonous The little green DO
tatoes which are exposed to the light contain
poisonous substances, which would injure
cows or fowls that ate them Pumpkin seeds
likewise poison animals or chickens when
consumed in large quantities Where ami
mails are fed on pumpkins daily portion of
the seeds should be removed
But it is in the pasture aud meadow lands
where the wild poisonous woods and plants
grow. Where animals are pastured none
of these should be allowed to grow, and the
farmer should make it his duty to 20 around
the fields and pull up or cut down any and
all Of the poisonous wild plants.
The poison sumach is probably the most
common. This small bush is found all over
the country, and is quite poisonous even 10
those who come in ordinary contact with it,
Young cattle and horses have been known to

AGRICULTURAL.

The past winter has been an unusually
warm one. and for this reason the farm
house cellar needs looking after early and
with unusual care. Decaying vegetables
and everything that is musty and unwhole-
some should be removed There is no
doubt that much Of the i'll health in farm
ers families at this season is due to neg
lected cellars. Early care Of them will
save money in more ways than one.
The horse breeders Of Vermont who have
sent their horses to South America during
the past few years, will be interested to
learn that the Argentine Congress has vot
ed to place an import duty upon fancy and
thoroughbred horses, the rate Of taxation
for the present being fixed at % per cent
on the valuation. The strongest influence
in favor Of the duty was exerted by those
who have been actively engaged in the i'm.
portation and purchase of fine stock from
Europe and the United States. and who
now, having secured fine studs of thorough
bred horses, are no longer in favor Of free
importations.
