stubbornly defy the forces of ero-

In several places there are masses
of earth architecture that remind
one Of the ruined castles on the

carving Of them has been most
strangely done. II is only when you
climb among them, and touch them,
that the wonders of erosion are fully
revealed.

.LARRSPUR POISONING IN
THE NATIONAL FOREST
Government Making ~ Effort TO Dis.
cover Antdote, and Thus Save
cattlemen Heavy Losses

The losses TO the cattlemen in tho
western states from Larkspur pois
onng every year have been so seft
Gus that the government is making
vigorous effort to find an antidotC
for the poison. as well as to eradi
cate the plant itself.
In the Gunnison national forest
Colorado, the losses to the stocamer
last season from larkspur we're con
servatively estimated to equal almost
per cent OF the total number OF
cattle grazed upon that forest.
It's effects are almost immediate
Death follows the eating OF the plant
within few hours For this reason
remedies are OF little avail. because
the animals are generally dead be
fore they are discovered.
Experts from the bureau of plant
industry, I'm 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 luxurianty in
the early spring. On the Gunnison
forest in June, 1906, the forest Of
ficers counted more than 1900 plants
In blossom upon a single square rod.
The plant seems to be more poison
Gus In hot, damp weather than In dry
seasons, and II has been observed
that when the ground Is hard and
dry, 80 that in eating 1t the stems
break Oft, leaving the roots In the
ground, II is not so deadly In It's eff.
fects.
Since certain areas are we'll 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 II Is
not so plentiful the plants will be
dug out by the forest rangers, and
also moved on TO prevent seeding
again.
Il 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 q
valuable forage plant.
n 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.
Gus. the building OF fences TO keep
the cattle of the most dangerous
areas Is being pushed by the forest
service, and will be continued as fast
IA funds are available for the pur'
pose.
Mr.. ]. C. Thomas Of Crawford. Col.
o.pdo. made an experiment in feed
ing the larkspur some years ago to
determine. II possible. Just what part
OF the plant contained the poisonous
properties. 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 justlfying the
suspicion that the poisonous matter
was contained In the root.
