.LARRSPUR POISONING IN
THE NATIONAL FOREST
Government Making an Effort to Dis.
cover Antldote, and Thus Save
csttIemen Heavy Losses.

The losses to the cattlemen in q q
western states from Larkspur pois.
oning every year have been so seri-
Gus that the government Is making
4 vigorous effort to find an antidote
Tor the poison, as well as to eradi.
cate the plant itself
In the Gunnison national forest,
Colorado. the losses to the stockmen
last season from larkspur were con
servatively estimated to equal almost
r per cent of the total number OF
cattle grazed upon that forest.
Its effects are almost immediate.
Death follows the eating OF the plant
within a few hours For this reason
remedies are of little avail, because
the animals are generally dead be-
tore they are discovered.
Experts from the bureau Of plant
industry. in cooperation with the for.
est service, have made careful and
painstaking Investigations in the
aeld, with view of lessening the
losses as far as possible, while sew.
oral different plans have been tried
in hopes of completely destroying the
Plant.
Larkspur grows very luXuriantly in
the early spring. On the Gunnison
forest in June, 1906, the forest Of
fiCers counted more than 1900 plants
in blossom upon single square rod
The plant seems to be more poison
Gus in hot, damp weather than In dry
seasons. and 1t has been observed
that when the ground is hard and
dry, so that in eating 1t the stems
break of, leaving the roots in the
ground, it Is not so deadly in It's ell
| feCts.
Since certain areas are well known
10 be badly infested with larkspur'
the stockmen have been in the habit
of herding their cattle from such
places. As far as possible, these
, areas will be fenced by the forest
service. On other areas where 1t Is
not so plentiful the plants will be
dug out by the forest rangers, and
also moved off to prevent seeding
again.
II has also been found that the
| plant will not hold its own against
| certain kinds of grasses, such as TIM
| othy. A few acres, sowed in timothy
are being carefully watched and 1t Is
believed that II is crowding the lark
spur out. II seems probable that by
| sowing timothy on the mountain
meadows the larkspur could be grad
| ually smothered and replaced by a
,aluable forage plant.
II this plan Is supported by good
| evidence this season, timothy Will be
| extensively sowed later on. Mean
while upon this, as well as several
other national forests where the
losses from this plant are very seri'

areas is being pushed by the forest
service. and will be continued as fast

Mr.. J. c. Thomas Of Crawford, Col
Orado. made an experiment In feed
ing the larkspur some years ago to
determine. If possible just what part
of the plant contained the poisonous
| properties. A yearling steer was fed
q large quantity of the leaves, with
! no injurious results. A few days
later. the same animal was fed q
quantity of the roots, and within ten
hours II was dead, thus justifying the
suspicion that the poisonous matter
