with the horses were delighted with

cent wordy encounter with Captain
Maxwelps hard-faced serving man
had left her In such high good humor
that she ratified on into her story
without any prompting from me.
To begin with, she told me Of the

She. also told me. az one deeply
versed In such matters. that my sister
gave astonishing promise, and that
shortly would be permitted to see
her: which prospective favor I fear
aroused me to no great Joy. But
asked her how my mother was. for
there was really concerned. Meg
assured me she was In the best of

LOCO WEED CAUSES
LOSSES Of MILLIONS

DR.. c. d. Marsh, who is now in
the western states speaking be-
fore agricultural colleges and
stockmens' assemblies on poison
Gus plants, is of the opinion that
the losses to stockmen from pois-
oning are greater than from any
other cause. DR.. Marsh is in
charge of poisonous plant investi-
CATION of the bureau of plant in
dustry, and in cooperation with
the Forest Service has for several
years been making a study of the
different poisonous plants on
western ranges; their distribution,
relative tendicity, symptoms and
results of their poisoning, and
remedies.
Loco is reputed to have caused
as great loss as SI,ooo,ooo an
nually to the stockmen of Colo
RADIO. Water hemlock and death
camas are even more violently
poisonous, yet more rare. AL
though more moderate in its effect.
larkspur, because of its greater
abundance and longer seasonal
growth, is considered more dam
gerous for cattle on the ranges
than any other plant. DR.. Marsh
states that sheep are not poisoned
by the larkspur, and that horses
although subject to its poisoning;
do not eat it readily.
The low larkspur grows gener-
ally about one foot, and rarely two
feet in height, at elevations from
1900 to 5000 feet. The tall lark
spur is found at elevations of
5000 feet and higher and grows to
a height OF from four to six feet;
and in Montana and California as
high as six or eight feet. The
blossom is blue and Squire d."
by which the plant is readily iden-
tilted. With the leaf alone, it is

sometimes confused with aconite
or wild geranium.
AS representatives., DIR. Marsh
recommends that cattle be kept
off from areas where tall larkspur
abounds until alter the plant has
blossomed, when its toxic prop
critics, except in the seed, largely
disappear. The small larkspur is
poisonous however, during the
entire period of its existence. He
also recommends that when it is
necessary for cattle to pass through
such areas they first be well filled
up and then permitted to drift in
small punches instead of driven
hurriedly; that small areas be
eradicated, and larger ones killed
out by frequent heavy sheep graz
ing.
The animal must eat a quantity
equal to three per cent of its
weight Ii. e. 80 pounds by an
animal weighing 1000 pounds) in
order to produce noticeable effect.
The symptoms are arched back,
lowered head and staggering back
ward movements. The animal
falls and is unable Immediately to
rise. 1t should then be placed
with its head up hill that the
stomach may pull away from the
respiratory organs, death usually
resulting from asphyxiation or
paralysis of the respiratory organs
and constipation.
Cattle poisoned by larkspur
should be kept as quiet as pos
sible, should be paunched if bloat-
ing occurs, should not be bled,
and in many cases can be saved
by subcutrneous injection, pre-
ferably in the shoulder, and phys
ostigmin salicylate, pilocarpin
hydro CHORD, and strychnin sui
pha,e. These remedies may usu-
ally be secured in prepared doses
from local druggists.

Kansas City Market Letter
(By J A. Rickart, Correspondent

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb.
9, 1914. Four thousand less
cattle were received here last week
than during corresponding week a
year ago. The market declined
10 to IS cents Tuesday, but on
other days it ruled steady, with
some strength at the close of the
week. Periodically buyers claim
prices here are out OF line with
Iother markets, and attempt TO re-
adjust the situation, but the short
Supply here makes market breaks
of short duration. Cold weather
is helping the market, and as pre-
Idicted at the close of last week,
the run here today is moderate,
5000 head, and prices are higher,
ranging from strong to Is cents
up. Some of the commiss sion men
have taken the recent weakness
seriously, and point to reports
that the Canadian beef market has
gone to smash, and that Buffalo
and Boston will receive some beef
from Canada this week, they also
credit reports that all the states
east of Illinois are factors to be
reckoned with in beef cattle supply
at this time, PENNSYLVANIA and
Virginia having loaded up with
cheap Canadian stockers last fall,
and the other states with drouth
cattle at Kansas City last summer,
and they also add that imports Of
meat look threatening. On the
other hand, supply figures at the
five leading western markets last
week suggest scarcity, and the
light run today bears out the sug-
gestion. Heavy steers reached
1856 today, yearlings and heifers
worth up to 900, bulk of native
steers IT'S to $50, native cows

REPORT OF cow
TESTING ASSOCIATION

The River Falls cooperative Cow
Testing Association, with head
quarters at the Normal school. has
been in operation for over a year,
and the results have been very
gratifying to the members. The
general plan of the organization
is that from 25 to 80 farmers agree
to hire a tester who makes it his
business to visit each farmer once
a month, at which time he weighs
and tests the milk from each COW.
Also a record is kept of the feed
given each animal. From this data
he calculates the amount of But
ter Fat produced each month, the
cost Of feed and the profit above
the cost of Production. This rec
ord is placed in a permanent book
and the work continued until the
end of the year. The farmer knows
exactly from these figures if his
cows r producing a profit or a
loss, and how much. The boarder
cows are then soon discovered and
disposed of. 1t means placing of
dairying on a business basis, which
is necessary to make it a success
1t is the plan to publish the rec
ords of those owners who have
cows producing 40 pounds of fat
or more per month. A record of
$50 pounds of fat per year is con-
sidered a good amount. The fol-
lowing is a list of those for Feb
ruarV:
