FATAL EFFECT OF SMUT ON
CATTLE

ID. III. Drake. a thrifty farmer living
in the valley between the river and
MULBERRY creek about thirteen miles east
of the city, was in town yesterday. and
reported some loss of stock in that re-
gien, from running on corn stalks. He
has now demonstrated to Il certainty
that the fatal element is smut in the
stalks. About three weeks ago George
WilcoxOn turned sixty head of cattle into
fifteen acre patch of stalks from which
he had gathered good crop of sound,
mature corn. 1t appears that the heads
of suckers from the roots had produced
smut and in some cases smut was formed
beside good ears of perfect corn. The
smut was of course left in the field on
the stalks. The cattle were at first let
remain in the field but few hours at a
time, without apparent injury, until on
about the third day they were allowed
to remain all day. The following morn
ing some were dead and others sick,
beginning with sluggish appearance,
with tendency to lie down, which in a
short time changed to a frenzy resem-
bling blind staggers. Ten head died and
the remainder, being kept from the field,
are all right. In no case where an ami
NAL got down did it recover. 1t was at
first thought the trouble was caused by
eating dry husks and when Mr.. Drake
turned his bunch of los head into field
of about thirty acres, he took the pre-
caution to give them a supply of salt,
followed by water. They were then
allowed to remain in the field but hall
an hour during the middle of the day.
Next morning there were two dead, and
several others apparently uncomfortable
and shivering. They were kept out OF
the stalk field, but during the day six
more died. The cattle were not gorged
or bloated, either before or after death,
but upon opening them the lining Of the
second stomach appeared to have turned
black, resembling the scarf of black
| hog after being scalded. Smut was
found in the stomachs in large quanti-
| ties both pulverized and in Jumps no,
masticated. The field where these ami
mails caught their death was the earliest
corn that had been husked. In the later
planting there was much less smut, and
the higher ground seemed to be compar-
atively free from this poison. Wheat is
all up in that region except some sown
within the last few days. The growing
plant is doing well and ground is in
splendid condition. Mr.. Drake had be-
tween 500 and 1 900 bushels of corn, and
it is all gathered but about 200 bushels
He has devoted his principal attention
to stock raising. and has been quite sue

Marshal Sughrue CHANGED to observe a
gay company enter the back door from
Chestnut street. He followed in their
wake and soon found himself within the
tabooed precincts of a veritable liquor
Joint. VIM. Culver, the artless individ-
ual whose privilege it was to purvey the
coffin varnish, glanced at the officials
ruddy conntenance and sizing him up
for thirsty customer. inquired what he
would take. The marshal asked if they
had beer. Immediately a bottle of that
foaming beverage was placed in his
hands. Mr.. Sughrue took a sip of the
nectar, remarked it was beer all right
enough, but that whiskey was good
enough for him. Whereupon demijohn
of fiery corn juice was placed upon the
counter. Our worthy official critically
inspected the red liquor, deliberately
wrapped up both packages and invited
young Culver to accompany him to his
honor, the police judge. When the pris-
oner saw there was no mistake, he made
the best of a bad bargain by pleading
guilty and throwing himself on the mercy
of the court. He was fined fifteen dol
lars and costs, which he paid, and is now
awaiting the pleasure of County Attor-
ney Madison as to prosecution under the
state prohibitory laws. The victim in
this case is son of the late Martin Gull
yer, formerly a resident of this city. Mr..
