Russian cactus has assumed a new
role in the vicinity of Bowbells, &C
cording to a press report, and aside
from being an unwelcome guest as far
as the good of the ground proper is
concerned, 1t was found to be the
cause of the death of horses owned by
Peter Jordy. While engaged in plow-
ing, Jordy drove through considerable
of this cactus growth and within a
few days, the two horses. that had
been driven out of the furrow became
sick and died. Veterinarians have
been at loss to explain the cause
and it was finally determined that the
cactus must have been responsible,
as the two horses working in the fur
row were not harmed in any manner.
