DEADLY GRASS OF PAMPAs.

Arrows Of the Plant stipa often
Fatal to Cattle and Sheep.
In South America, chiefly in the vast
plain that extends from Patagonia up
to Bahai Blanca, and also In the prov
ince Of Santa Fe and in Uruguay, there
are large grasses of the genus stipa
which grow in the spring and whose
misdeeds have been exposed by Mr..
Blanchard. The grasses have a fruit
about seventy-five millimeters (three
inches) long made up Of three parts {:
First, short basal portion formed of
a conical axis with sharp point COW
cred with sharp stir hairs directed
backward; second, cylindrical part
formed Of membrane inclosing the
seeds, and, third, a shaft like that of
an arrow.
All the stipas of South America have
these arrows, which, when the wind
blows, strike people in the face and
hands and produce painful wounds.
They are so abundant that they adhere
to the fences, forming continuous
fringe for miles In length and giving
the illusion Of vast lines of foam. A
man may get rid Of the darts that
light on his beard. hair or clothes, but
If he neglects to pluck them Off at once
they penetrate the thickest garments
and reach the skin. If an attempt Is
then made to withdraw them they
break and the seed remains imbedded
In the cloth, being removed with great
difficulty. In any case. although man
may contend successfully against them,
animals are unable to do so and the
sheep that are bred in such numbers
on the pampas are their chief victims
the darts Of the stipa penetrating their
eyelids and binding them, so that be-
ing NO longer able to find their way
about they die Of hunger and thirst.
The seeds also form amid the hair Of
the feet and over the whole cutaneous
surface a mass Of sharp points which
every movement pushes farther into
the flesh, giving rise to ulcers, to which
the animal generally succumbs.
The darts also penetrate into the
salivary glands Of herbivorous animals,
while they accumulate In great masses.
These form especially under the tongue,

vices secured through immunity contracts.
