FIND new MENACE
TO STOCK ON RANGE
Menziesia a Poisonous Plant Which
May Kill Both Sheep and Cattle
A Branching Shrub.

Washington, D. c., July 2.-StOckmen
in the Northwest are being warned by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
that the plant Menziesia is poisonous
and may kill sheep and cattle. Men
ziesia is struggling, branching shrub
which grows to be from to feet in
height. In this country it is found in
the Southern Alleghenies and in the
mountains of Northern California,
Wyoming, Oregon, Idaho and Washing
ton. The Rocky Mountains species
which is the one known to be poison
Gus, usually occurs at attitudes of from
$500 feet to 5000 on moist northern
slopes in open woods and about the
"balds". In some places it grows
abundantly and on the other hand there
are long stretches in which no speci-
mems at all are to be found.
Stock poisoned by Menziesia exhibit
symptoms much like those caused by a
number of other plants. There is a
noticeable frothing at the mouth and
weakness which causes staggering in
the gait and ends in more or less com
plete paralysis. There is usually pro-
nOunced nausea and some times diff
ficulty in breathing. 1t is believed,
however, that a considerable quantity
of the plant must be eaten before its
effects become dangerous.
Where there is abundance Of other
fodder sheep will not eat Menziesia
The trouble occurs when there is nc
other food readily available. Thus
when sheep are driven rapidly along
narrow trails-where the plant is most
likely to abound-they are apt to seize
upon it and this is also true when ped
ding grounds are used repeatedly and
the healthy forage in the neighborhood
consequently exhausted.
The remedy is for herdsmen to learn
to recognize the plant. A further in
4 vestigation into the subject is now be
ing carried on but the Department has
already published a preliminary pam

UNIVERSITY IS LENDING
BOOKS FREELY TO ALL
Anything Except Fiction Will Be Sent
to Any City of the State Of oregon
on Request,

University Of Oregon, July Forty
six cities in Oregon are borrowing
books from the University of Oregon
library by means of the parcel post,
according to figures compiled by Lii
brarian NJ. H. Douglass. This free ser
vice was extended to the people of the
state about year ago and has become
increasingly popular as an understand
ing Of the advantages offered has
spread.
"The admission Of books to the par
cells post classification in March, says
Mr.. Douglass, "has given a great i'm
petus to this movement. The use Of
university books through the state has
been increasing much more rapidly
since that time. 1t now costs about
six cents to send the average book
through the mail, while four or five in
package win 60 for ten or fifteen
cents. The borrower pays the postage
each way, but otherwise the service is
free to the people of the state.
"At the rate this service has been
growing since March, it will soon be a
very important phase of the library s
extension work. The 10000 volumes
that are stored there are an asset Of
which the people of Oregon should be
encouraged to make the utmost possible
use.
"The university does not undertake
to lend works of fiction. In fact, the
library contains only small proper
tion of fictional material, but wherever
any citizen of Oregon needs books to
aid him in his private studies, or in
his business or profession, or to enable
him to present collected knowledge to a
club, lodge or society, the university
library is at his service. Amy citizen
requesting it will receive a weekly list
of new books purchased.
ministers, members Of women :
clubs, high school teachers and pupils
professional men, and professors in
various colleges of the state, are the
most numerous among the first to take
advantage of the university's facili
ties.
at is noticeable that this is a type
of extension work whose advantages
are most appreciated in the smaller
towns. The people Of Portland, for in
stance, have a library that is capable
of supplying all ordinary local needs
Only four times during the year have
Portlanders found it necessary TO ap
peal to the university. Cities like Med
ford, Ridgefield, Wash, Pendleton
Grants Pass, klamath Falls, Ashland
Hood River and Junction City make
more use of the library than Portland
does, and very much smaller towns
make nearly as great use. 4"

HOUSEWIVES BEWARE
OF UNCLEAN MILK!
During Warm Weather Milk Is Easily
Contaminated After Delivery to the
Home.

Washington, D. c., July 2.-During
the hot weather milk is particularly
susceptible to contamination and for
that reason the U. $. department of
agriculture is issuing timely warning
to housewives; Beware of unelean
milk!
When milk is delivered it should be
put into the refrigerator at once. "A
very brief exposure to summer heat
makes it unfit for use. If it is impos-
sible to have the bottles put immedi-
ately into the refrigerator, provide on
the porch box containing lump of
ice. In planning house, arrange to
have the refrigerator set in the wall
with an opening on the outside. 1t is
always possible to provide locks for
these boxes or refrigerator doors, and
supply the milkman with key. The
interior of the food compartment
should be wiped every day with clean
cloth, and thoroughly scalded as often
as once q week. Under no cireum-
stances should the drain pipe of an ice
box be connected with sewer.
Care in Opening Bottle of Milk.
Before removing the cap from bot
tie of milk, the cap and the neck of
the bottle should be washed and care
fully wiped with clean cloth. The
cap should not be pushed Gown into the
milk. 1t may be easily removed with
a sharp-pointed intrument without in
juring the contents. The bottle when
once opened should be kept covered
and the milk should be kept in the
original bottle until it is used up. The
original cap should not be replaced, but
instead an inverted glass may be put
over the top of the bottle. The bot
tie when not in use, should, of course,
always be left in the refrigerator, and
any milk that has been poured from it
into another vessel should not be pour
ed back. Onions and other foods hav-
ing strong odor, especially during the
hot weather, very easily impart their
distinctive smell to milk that is left
uncovered. This is an additional rea.
son for always keeping milk in COW
cred receptacle.
Keep Milk Bottles Out OF Sick Room.
Milk bottles should never be taken
into a sick room, for as they are usu'
ally returned to the milk man, they
may thus carry infectious diseases into
other homes. Every milk bottle left
at house where there is an infectious
sickness should be boiled before being
returned. The best thing to do in such
circumstances is to provide ones owl
milk bottles or covered dishes into
which the milk man may pour the milk
from his bottles. The duty of each in
dividual to his neighbor in this con
