ing all the way. More than 1000
cartridges were expended. and ammu-

don to be anslyzed and it was positive
ly proven that the barley straw was
deadly poisonous. l removed the cat
tie from the yard directly after hearing
the result of the second post-mortem,
but by this time had lost three moro
steers aud others died after being re-
moved. In all lost seven head. The
vel erinary drenched the steers with
brine which caused them to vomit
heavily and lost no more. The ansly-
sis proved beyond doubt that the straw
became poisonous by the growth OF =
fungus on each joint OF the barley
straw. On careful examination the
fungus could be seen without the as
sistance OF any powerful glass, and its
appearance was . green mould, but
with the aid of magnifying glass the
fungus was clearly visible in the minia-
turs form of mushroom. The next
question to be investigated WAS what
caused this fungus on this particular
straw pile, and believe the only salts
factory opinion was the barley growing
near lake. 1t was constantly damp
during the harvesting and the damp
ness arising from the lake in the form
OF fogs the land being very light, it was
naturally dusty and this dust together
with the fog damp caused the growth
of the fungus on the straw.
I think Mr.. Seaman and others who
are interested in cattle should ask
themselves what sort OF weather We
had last fall during the time the corn
stalks were ripening. Had we fogs
and dust and was there any fungus or
mould on the corn stalks? My opinion
is it would be far better if the corn
stalks had been analyzed and the ana
lysss report published. This,:I think.
would give the cattle men far better
satisfaction than the article in your
Thursday's issue. Let the analyst say
if it le the smut or fungus.
1 have not examined the corn stalks
but do firmly believe there is fungus
or mould on either the husks or on tho
joints very close to the ear of corn. My
reason for having this opinion is the
husk and the portions of stalk near the
ear offer a resting place for dust and
dampness, and Cause the growth Of the
fungus and mould.
Yours truly,
