ERCOT AND ITS BAD
EFFECT ON CATTLE
How Stockmen May Be Able to Dis
tinguish Fodder Affected by
the Fungus.

The unusual amount of ergot upon
several of the very common and i'm
portant wild forage grasses makes It
highly important that a note OF warn
ing should be sent on. to the stock
men, giving a short statement in re-
gard to the nature OF ergot and in
furious results which follow the feed
ing of hay that is badly affected.
There is parasitic fungus known
as Claviceps purpurea that grows up
on many different species OF grasses
and produces at one stage In its de-
velopment black and purple enlarged
spurs which take the place of the ker-
mel or seed in the grass head These
spurs are called sclerotia or "ergots,"
and are simply aggregates of the vege-
tative body OF the fungus. which re-
main dormant over winter and serve
to reproduce the fungus the following
spring. The original grass seed Is en-
tirely replaced by the fungus in the
formation of these ergots, and poison
Gus principles are developed. When
hay or grass containing any consider
able quantity of these ergots is eaten
by stock, the injurious effects de-
scribed may result.
The grasses which are most affect
ed with ergot growths are the
wild rye ard wheat-grasses. There
are eight different species of rye-grass
In Nebraska and several Of these are
important forage grasses. The wheat
grasses are even more important and
widely distributed than the rye-grasses
and are especially susceptible to the
ergot. The western wheat-srass
(Agropyron accidentally, Is very liable
to be affected. The appearance Of the
ergots on this species is shown in our
illustration. Hay which consists large
~ of wheat and rye-grasses may con-
tain as high as five or six per cent. OF
ergots by weight. Single heads OF
these grasses may produce from one
to as high as 40 ergots. Other grasses,
such as timothy, bluegrass and bronze
grass, are also attacked by the ergot,
but only occasional reports have been
received of the presence Of the fungus
on these species. 1t is very common
on rye in European countries but in
this country rye is less liable to at
tack. 1t is highly probable that the
wheat and rye-grasses mentioned
above are responsible for the major
ity of cases of ergotism.
Firing the past few years the in
CT sed rainfall has been especially
fl liable for the development and
-; I'D of the ergot, and the amount
las been gradually increasing One

participate. Mr.. Manahan appeared
at a hearing and demanded the
right to cross-examine a leading
witness, Mr.. J. J. Hill. This was
pre-emptorially denied by the COM
mission. 1t was after this denial
of an unquestioned right that Mr..
Manahan made his mistake. In,
stead of making a formal and
dignifed protest he turned himself
loose and "damned everything an
inch high"
1t will be noted by thoughtful
men that Mr.. Manahan did not cut
loose and commit the offenses
charged until the commission had
kicked him out Of the proceedings.
What possible harm could have
resulted to the peoples interests if
the commission had permitted Mr..
Manahan to have cross-examined
Mr.. Hill? Mr.. Hill needs no pro-
lection. He is abundantly able to
take care of himself and his in
terests.
The impression is abroad,
whether right or wrong we do not
know, that the commission was
afraid of the disclosures Mr.. Hill
might voluntarily make under cross
examination.

Western Whsat-Grass (Agropyron DC.
cidentaie). Heads Badly Affected
with Ersot.
ergot fungus. Animals may lose parts
of their tail or ears, or their hoofs
may slough of. In others we may see
only gangrenous sores. These may be
seen on the teats or on the mouth.
The most frequent LESSONS are those
of loosenins of the hoofs SO that parts
of the sole or wall may shed or slough
OF. We find this trouble more in cold
than in warm weather, but this is not
always the rule.
Cattle may also abort from eating
forage that is heavily charged with
ergot. Ergot acts on the nervous sys-
tenn and ON the circulation. 1t is, how
ever, not always true that large doses
of ergot will produce abortion.
The symptoms are not very marked
In the early stages. In advanced cases
there is local gangrene of the mucous
membrane. The extremities, such as
the ears, tail, and lower part Of the
limbs, begin to gradually lose their
warmth and sensibility, dry gangrene
sets in, and the parts harden and be-
come mummified, and finally drop of
without pain.
As a preventive measure the fields
should be examined to see If they con-
tain any ergots. 1t is quite necessary
to warn the farmers and stockmen
against feeding this ergotized grain to
their stock in winter, as it acts more
rapidly and destructively in cold
weather. Fields in which great guam
titles of ergot are found should not
be cut for hay or pastured.
Medicinal treatment is no. satisfac-
tory in animals where the hoofs have
sloughed off, on account of the time
1t would take, to grow on new hoof.
This would incur a great deal of ex-
pense and sometimes more than the
animal is worth. Where part of the
tail or ears has dropped off, treatment
can be used, such as cleaning the part
with carbolic acid and then treating
1t as an ordinary wound, and discon-
tinuing the feed that contains ergot,
SO that no more animals will become
poisoned.

BUTTER PRICES.
Some Reasons Why They Are Main
tanned at High Figure.

Much speculation is INDUCED in
about the fact that with all the sup
posed great increase in creameries
the prices Of butter still hold up.
Those. who speculate forget two or
three things, says Hoard's Dairyman:
(1) That the COW is the source of
the butter supply, not the creamery.
(2) That the more dense the COW
population becomes in any section, the
less proportion of heifer calves are
raised.
(3) That the increase in milk con-
sumption has beeen so great that a
very large share of the COWS of the
country have been diverted from but
ter-making to that business.
(4) That the increase of cows in
this country is only about five per
cent yearly, so it takes about 20
years to double the COW population.
90 That the progress of dairy ideas
among farmers is teaching them to
weed out the improbable cows, thus
reducing very perceptibly the milk
supply for improbable butter-making.
60 That the percentage of increase
of population is much greater than the
percentage of increase in cows, while
the consumption of milk and butter
per capita has been steadily on the
increase. All these things tend to
strengthen the dairy business in all
it's parts and keep prices to healthy
grade.

ergot-producing grasses along road
sides and ether waste places are cut
will also be accomplished. Finally,
the seed Of suspectible grasses should
be examined for ergots, as the dis
ease may be spread from infected
seed.
The poisonous effect Of ergot seems
to appear In the late fall and winter
and we may find many cases during
the winter and early spring, due to
the continuous feeding Of hay and
straw that is heavily charged with the
