A Dangerous Range Plant.

a little later than this, each year,
complaints come to the experiment sta
ton respecting unusual deaths of range
stock, chiefly cattle, suspected of plain
poisoning. Accompanying these reports
are various theories respecting the
identity of the suspected poisonous
plants. "Lobelia,' LarksDur" and
Loco Weed are names offered as be-
ing the probable plants TO which these
unusual deaths are TO be ascribed.
There seems to be but little founda-
ton for suspecting these plants. how
ever. since the only representative of
the lobelia family of plants known 10
be at all common in Western Nevada,
is an insignificant little herb. having
most uninviting wirY heritage. While
the plant is found very generally
scattered over the hills, it never occurs
in abundance. 1t does not appear until
-ater in the season than the deaths
referred to are reported; and, further
more, we have no well defined reason
for considering the plant poisonous.
Respecting larksDur, it may be said
that one kind is very common through
cut the western part Of the state. Tufts
Of leaves appear in March, the flowers
continuing during May ana June, the
seeds ripening in June and July. 1t is
so generally distributed and so plenti-
full as 10 be accessible to stock on any
range, and thus, if poisonous to any
marked degree. would long ago have
come to be known as a plant of a
specific poisonous nature Such does
not seem TO be the case. Furthermore,
feeding experiments involving two
closely related wild larkspurs have
been performed by the Colorado ex-
pertinent station bulletin No. 25)
where tops and roots in ample quantity
were fed TO separate animals, well
developed, healthy yearling steers"
without effect in any case.
Loco weed poisoning may have oc-
CURED. Indeed, such has been reported.
Certain plants. at least closely related
TO the true loco weed, are known TO
occur on the ranges Of southern
Washoe county, but their poisonous
properties are yet TO be established. In
the special cases OF poisoning reported
to the writer, the symptoms were not
those peculiar TO loco poisoning. seem
insly dispelling the theory Of poison
ing of this character
In May OF 1896 the writer, in COM
panv with Dr. ". Men. Miller visited
Tie vicinity of AlkaIi lake near Pur-
dy's station, where deaths had been
reported. on searching the portion OF
the range where deaths had occurred.
numerous specimens OF the plant bear
ing the common names wild sego and
sand corn were found. Some Of these
plants were found te have been eaten
off, strengthening the theory of their
possible responsibility for the recent
deaths This theory is supper by
the known poisonous nature
