The absorption Of silver by the in

the other .~Isiatic countries has been IA
source Of wonder and speculation to

turtles Pliny called Asia "the sink Of
silver for the reason that, no matter
how much is poured into that continent,
it still cries for more. Tie capacity OF
the llindoos, ChIuesc and japanese for
the absorption OF silver seems absu-
lutely limitlcss. Great quantities OF the
white metal must hc stored somewhere
IN those vast and dcnsely populated
countries, the inhabitants OF which use
the small silver coin almost exclusively.

Where does all the silver which is sent
to Asia go. after it passcG INTO the

have never been satisfactorily answered
and statesman aud stnticians are yet

Poisonous i'Iant InNe-tiE-tion.

Prof. Gordon II. True OF the Expert
ment Station STAB has given the lS-
pETESuSESI the following regarding
an investigation Of poisonous range
plants 10y the government. The stock
men OF the State should be interested
in this matter and it would doubtless be
to their advantage TO follow tho sug-
gestions OF Prof. True:
The Department of Agriculture has
for some years done more CT less work
along the line Of Investigations OF plants
poisonous TO stock on the range. This
spring a more systematic plan for this
work has been undertaken than hereto
fore and the expert III charge will spend
several weeks in those states where the
Investigation has been called Tor. Colo.

Tho attention Of tie Department has
been called to Nevada by Expert

charge OF the work will visit the state
some time in May for the purpose OF be-
coming familiar with the situation here
and to plan fol- further work il it is war
ranted and demanded by the stOckmen
OF the state.
1t is up to stockmen to take an
interest il the matter II they feel that
they are to be benefited by the kind OF
work the neighboring states have been
so anxious to have done. There is at
times serious loss among the sheep in
some parts Of Nevada, there are also
some Losses OF cattle, There are various
conflicting ideas among sheep and cat.
tie men rs to just what plants are
poisonous, when they are poisonous,
and how the various kinds OF poisoning
affect the animals. There would Ger.
tainly be an advantage In knowing de-
iinitely concerning thsse things, The
government stands ready to do this
work il the stockmen demand it.
The Experiment Station will be glad
to receive any communication FROM
those interested and would be gird to
arrange for a meeting Of the Govern
ment expert and the stockmen.
