THE LOCO WEED POISON
AT LAST IDENTIFIED

After three years of experimental
work, an explanation of the secret
poison of the loco weed has at last
been advanced. Government experts
have been working on the subject,
representing the bureau of plant and
animal industry at Washington. A
special station was set up at Hugo,
Colo, and as a result a bulletin has
now been issued describing the weed.
The following is a description of
the weed and its action, as published
in the Record-Stockman Monday:
at was the pharmacologist in the
laboratory at Washington, however,
who finally discovered the cause of
the trouble. From the large amounts
of the weed sent him he finally dis
covered that there existed in the
plant the mineral known as barium.
a poison found in alkali soil. The
symptoms of barium poisoning and
loco poisoning are the same. 1t is
only in the loco weed grown on aka
II soil that the poison is found, which
accounts for the fact that cattle have
been known to eat loco without ILL
effects. The discovery of the nature
of the poison has made it possible
for the experts to suggest remedies.
"Dr. Marsh, who had charge of
lut ueiu WOTk dI f1uSO, ldSC SuIHu6T
experimented with the weed and he
found that most cases could be cured
in cattle by a course of treatment
with strychnine, and locoed horses
will usually be cured with treat
ment of Fowler's solution. Barium
IS dangerous only in solution. The
administration of sulphates, especial
ly epson salts, changes the form of
The mineral into an insoluble sui
phate which is not dangerous.
"Of course, the wholesale treat
ment of locoed animals on the range
would not be practicable. but it is
possible with small numbers to eff
feet cure. Animals under treat
ment must not be allowed to eat
the loco weed and should be given
food that is nutritious and laxative.
Magnesium sulphate with the food is
a valuable aid.
"The result of this investigation
has been a complete success. There
are still some practical points to be
determined, but the future work in
regard to this plant will be simple.
There is no doubt but that plans
will be determined whereby the
range of cattlemen will be able to
rescue his stock when they become
locoed. This practical side of the
subject should be taken up by the
state experiment station"

LOW RATE FOR FRUrrGRowERs
Walla Walla Seeks to Bring Large
Crowds for Meeting.

Formal application for a reduced
rate from every section OF the inland
empire to Walla Walla for the state
horticultural society's annual meeting
January 29, 80 and 81, has been made
by botn the Northern Pacific and o..
r. G. NJ, says a Walla Walla item.
The effort is not only backed by
the local influence but by State Hor-
sicultural Commissioner F. A. Hunt
ley as well, and despite the red tape
which is generally used in connection
with such a matter, the request has
been given favorable consideration.
Already letters have been forwarded
to the railroad rate commissioner and
the matter is receiving favorable con-
sideration.
Correspondence from North Yaki-
ma states that scores of enthusiastic
fruitgrowers have determined to take
advantage OF the low rate and visit
the Garden City during the conven-
ton.
Walla Walla people are making a

valley is the coming fruit district of

of this part Of the state, says the Po-
catello Tribune. From reliable sour
ces II is learned that at least one band
OF Bannock county sheep, inspected
last summer by federal inspectors in
this district and ordered dipped be-
fore trailing into the Utah and Me-
vada winter ranges, has been found
diseased. The federal inspectors re-
fused to issue a clean bill of health
to these sheep, and the state veteri-
marian relieved the tension by remov-
ing the quarantine.
The Soda Springs Chieftain, pub
llshed in the heart of the greatest
sheep country in the west, has the
following to say of the conditions:
1t will be remembered that the
state inspectors were the only ones
who claimed the quarantine should
be removed, while the government
men were opposed to 1t, one govern
ment official claiming that several
cases were In existence when the
quarantine was taken off and that the
trail north Of Soda Springs had been
infected for a distance of so miles.
Every one would like to see the
quarantine removed and kept off but
that seems impossible and the sheep
men are the ones who are kicking
the hardest because It was taken off
too early. Some trouble is expected
when the sheep are started back in
the spring, as several of the bands
passed as "clean" are said to have
well developed cases of scab.

DEMAND THIRD TERM LAW.
Clayton Resolution VIII be Pushed
Through the House at Once.

Washington, Jan. 7.-One of the
most important matters now loom
ing before congress is the Clayton
resolution, declaring against a third
term in the presidential office. 1t
was thought that President Roose-
velt's definite announcement that he
would not again be a candidate would
lead to the dropping of the measure,
but the democrmatic leaders are de-
termined to push 1t to the front.
Representative Clayton, who intro
duced the resolution, expresses him
self as confident that It will speedily
pass the house. Senator Culberson
minority leader in the senate. is
pressing the measure to the attention
Of that body.
In the house, the democrats who are
urging the Clayton resolution have
the support of many republican men,
bers, who favor the nomination of
Speaker Cannon and who believe
that the passage of such a resolution
would assist Uncle Joe's" candidacy
AS many of the republican senator's
are also lined up against the presi-
dent, there is little doubt that the
resolution Will go through, If properly
pushed. Some of the democratic
members candidly state that they are
skeptical of President Roosevelt's
voluntary withdrawal from the presi-
Dental race and that they desire to
make 1t certain that he will not be re-
nominated in Chicago next June.
