In the last year or two some of our
state experiment stations have been
investigating several molds which
seem to affect not only cattle. but
horses as well. These molds grow quite
a%bundantly upon c%ornstalks. alfalfa
aud other forage crops. The death of
a great number Of animals has been
traced directly to the feeding of such
affected fodder. hay or corn. These
molds. however. must have a certain
amount Of moisture for their growth.
and it has been shown that when the
feeds have been properly harvested
and sheltered no trouble has resulted.
Only III materials exposed to the
weather, allowing the development of
these lower forms Of plant life, has
serious trouble been found.
In the treatment Of these troubles
nothing reliable can be given. ~ dis

warning. and the animal dies suddenly.
Much Of the trouble can be avoided
by allowing the animals only a limited
amount Of the feed or in the stalk

necessary that plenty Of pure water
should be given frequently and enough
of other roughage to keep the animals
from gorging themselves on the fodder.
