Teachinu Cattle to Avoid Poison.

The experiences Of Walter Larden on
the palnpas Of Argentina indicate that
the avoidance Of poisonous herbs is
not, as has sometimes been thought,
an instinct born in animals. There is
a poisonous weed on the pampas call.
ed romerilla, which the native born
cattle and sheep have learned to avoid,
but imported cattle and horses have
to be taught not to eat it. That is
done by tying them fast and then
burning heaps of the weed to the
windward Of them. The smell Of the
smoke breeds in them SO great a dis.
like that they do not touch the green
weed afterward.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1912-04-17

plates are cast iron grips for the pur-
pose Of holding the carriage stationary
on the boom while the shovel is being
forced into the material to be exca-
waited. The weight Of the boom is al
lowed to rest on the shovel arm while
the shovel is cutting into it's load, then
the boom IS raised slightly, the grip
plates pressing against the boom cable
are released. thus freeing the carriage
from its stationary contact with the
boom, and the carriage is drawn to the
top Of the boom, where the shovel is
automatically dumped into a waiting
wagon.
The illustration shows the derrick
working in a gravel pit, where, it is
claimed, it takes the place Of a steam
shovel and crew and two teams. Only
n man is required to operate the
shovel.
