In North America have been almost
entirely in the western section and in
Canada, although isolated instances
OF poisoning are known in the East.
In the cattle ranges of the West prob
ably no poisonous plants, with the ex.
ceptiOn Of the loco weeds, have
caused such heavy losses to the stock
men.
1t is difficult to estimate with any
degree Of accuracy the extent of these
losses. A conservative estimate based
on reports from a large number of
ranges indicates that the annual loss
Is from to per cent. A great many
of the stockmen who have reported
upon this subject have given an esti-
mate of per cent. Specific cases are
known where from 20 to so cattle
lave died out of a single herd within
g. few hours, and other instances are
recorded in which individual stock
men have lost as many as 200 head in
a season. These losses are attributed
to 1arkspurs, since they have occurred
on ranges where larkspurs are abun-
dant.
Small quantities of larkspurs can
be eaten with impunity. Experiment
al work shows that an animal must
eat about 8 per cent of it's weight
before being affected, and that aver
age cases eat from s to per cent of
their weight. Horses are not poisoned
unless they eat considerable quanti-
ty.
The low larkspur Is poisonous dur
ing the whole of its life, but the plant
disappears the last of June or early
in July. Poisoning from 1t occurs,
therefore, only in the months Of May
and June. The tall larkspur grows
through the entire season, and as it
natures the leaves lose their poison
our properties, so that after the mid
die Of August they cease to be poi
sonous. The seeds are more poison
Gus than the leaves, and occasionally
cattle die rather late in the sea-
son from eating them.
The first symptom of larkspur poi
soning is ordinarily the falling oc the
animal. In the experimental poison
ing 1t has been found that this falling
was preceded by lack OF appetite
and general uneasiness, with stiff
and staggering gait When the ami
NAL falls it goes down suddenly, the
legs appearing to crumple up under
1t. In the lighter cases the animal
will hold it's head erect and after
time will get upon its feet, only to fall
again shortly. While the motions OF

CHAMPION RAT CATCHER DIES
w. A. HeitIer Used Pair Of longs to
Nab Half Million Rodents In New
York City.

New York--William A. Heitler, the
oldest rat catcher in this city, who
has caught half million rats alive in
the As years he has been in the bust
ness, is dead. The little store over
which he presided at 1872 Broome
street until his death will not be
closed. His wife and daughter will
carry on the business and do every
thing except catch the rats them
selves.
Henry Dayve of Paris, called the
king of rat catchers in 1870, Harry
Jennings, called Dick the Rat, who
came to New York in 1888, and Will
lam A. Heitler. who took up Jennings
work in 1859, have been classed as the
three best known rat catchers since
the public has awakened to the fact
that the rat is breeder Of disease.
No one OF the three ever let the public
know their secrets of rat catching.
Heitler used his bare hands and a
pair of tongs, as did Dayve and Jen-
nings, taking the rats one by one, ex-
aiming them and placing them alive
in wire cages. One night in the old
Willard hotel in Washington he caught
9O6 single handed and on a bet once
he nabbed 81 in an hour. The rats he
caught were sold to hospitals for vivi-
section and clinical purposes.
