POISONOUS PLANTS

DR.. c. d. Marsh, who is now in
the este n states speaking before
agricultural colleges and stockmen's
assemblies on psi onuus plants, i.
of the opinion that the losses t.
stockmeu from poisoning are great
er than from any other cause.
DR.. Marsh is in charge Of poison
Gus plant investigation of the bur-
eau Of plant industry, and in coop
Grafton with the Forest Service has
for sevGral Years been making
a study of the different poisonous
plants on western ranges; their
distribution, relative toXirity,
symptoms and results IF their pUis-
oning and remedies.
Lorn is reputed TO have caused
as great loss as 81, O0O 900 annually
to the stockman Of Colorado. Water
hemIock and death canas are even
more violently poisonous, yet more
rare. Although more moderate in
its effect, %larHspur, because Of its
greater abundance and longer sea-
sanal growth, is considered mpre
dangerous for cattle on the range
than any other plant. DR.. Marsh
states that sheep are not poisoned
by the l%arksprr and that horses al
though subject to its poisoning, do
not eat it readily.
The low larkspur grows generally
about one foot. and rarely two feet
in height, at ele atoms from 1000
ia 5000 feet. The tall larBspur is
found at elevations Of 5000 feet
and higher and grows to 8 height
of from four to six feet, and in
Montana and California as high as
six to eight feet. The bloss m is
blue and "spur-red', by which the
plsnt is readily identified. With
the leaf alone it is sometimes con.
fused with aconite or wild geran-
ium.

mends that cattle be kept off from
areas where tall Jarkspur abounds
until after the plant has blossomed,
when its toxic properties, except in
the seed, largely disappear. The
small lafkspur is poisonous how
ever, 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 lunches
instead of driven hurriedly: that
small areas be eradicated and larg-
er ones killed out by frequent sheep
grazing.
The animal must eat a quantity
equal to three per cent of its
weight lie. 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
ard is unable to Immediately rise.
lt should be then placed with its
head up hill hat the stomach may
pull away from the respiratory Or
cans, death usually resulting from
3sphyxiatlon or paralysis of the
respiratory organs, and constipa-
ion.
Cattle poisoned by larkspur
should be kept as qViet as possible,
should DE pauncned if bloatng &C.
ours, should net be bled, and in
many Isl can be saved by a sub
cutaneous injection preferably in
the shoulder, Of physostigmin sal
lcylate, philocarpin hydrochlorid,
and strychnine sulphate. These
remedies MAJ usually be secured
in prepared doses from local drug
gists.
The method Of graduating pois-
onous plants by frequent heavy
zrazing Of sheep recommended by
DR.. Marsh is going to be adopted
IN the Ruby National Forest next
season.
Sheep will be allowed to Craze
Yer the worst poison areas within
rattle allotments but will not be
lllowed to Craze over any part Of
The cattle range whose poisonous
plants do not exist in quantities
fatal to cattle.
No regular permit will be issued
to the owners of shet p used for this
purpose, and they NAV be removed
rom the cattle range at any time
tnat it is found that their presence
is injurious to the cattle interests.
A plant ecologist from the District
Forgster's office at Ogden will have
charge Of the plan and it is ex-
pected by local forest officers that
many cattlemen will cooperate in
trying out the plan, since the an
nual loss of cattle on the Ruby
Mountains from poisonous plants is
very great.

Cleans Blood
Through Kidneys
A Most Important Function
and One to be Care
fully Guarded.

The purpose OF the kidneys is TO
filter the blood. Instead OF drugs and
alleged kidney stimulants the better
plan is to purify the blood with an
antidotal effect such as you get from
S. S. $.
1t should DE remembered that tho
kidneys arc made UP OF a fine net
work of blood vessels. and it is to
stimulate the functional activity OF
kidney tissue through this capillary
network that s s. S. shows one OF
It's most remarkable effects.
The medicinal value of the COM
ponents OF s S. S. are relatively just
as vital to healthy kidney action as
the nutriment obtained from grain,
meat, fats. sugars, or any other part
OF our daily food is to the natural
reconstructive requirements OF the It's
sues. And there is one component of
5. 5. s. which serves the active pur-
pose of stimulating the cellular tissues
or the kidneys to a healthy and Judi
cious selection Of its own essential
nutrtment. Thus, in cases of rheu-
matisW. cystitis, chronic sore throat,
huskiness of voice. bronchitis. asthma,
and the myriad OF other reflex indi-
cations of weak kidney action, FIRST
purify your blood with S. S. s so it
