Poisonous To Sheen

Sheep men driving their herds from
Whitman county north aud notheast to
winter ranges all report more or less
serious loss from crossing what is known
as the poison strip along the southern
boundary of Spokane and extending
westward into Adams county. Bell Poe,
" ho eamped near the strip one night
few Gays ago, lost about 10 head, many
of which died on the camping ground
during the night. The existence and APP
proximate locality of the strip has been
known for several years. 1t extends
from a point a few miles northwest of
Farmil gLop through SpaLgle and vest
almost to Ritzville, and Is from three to
10 mics wide. What it is that kills or
Injuries the sheep is not known, but 1t is
supposed to be some kind of grass or
weed that grows along the strip and is
not found in other sections of the coun-
try.
Seven or eight years ago band of
1000 crossed the strip and about 500 of
the sheep died within few days. This
is the largest loss known to ha, e been
sustained, but the place has been a con-
slant menace to travelling bands of
sheep. 1t has never caused any evil eff
eects on horses or cattle, although they
constantly feed on the poisonous range.
Adams Bros, who were heavy losers
three or four years ago, sent the stom-
ach and contents of one of the dead
sheep to scientist to be Analysed, but
the investigation failed to reveal any
poisonous substance.
Some seasons the poison seems more
destructive than Others; sometimes
bands cross the strip without loss. Ona
method that has been used to get the
animals across is to drive them so rapid
ly that they have no time to feed. This
has been done with considerable success,
but in large bande of 1000 to 1000 as
the sheep are usually driven, it is diff
cult to keep tn m going so fast that he
front cnes will not stop occasionally to
Craze
