MANY MULES DIE FROM
DAMAGED ENSILAGE
Causing Great Financial Loss to West
End Farmers-veterinaries Fail
Give Relief

J. X Bauehman, one OF our largest
stock dealers in this end OF the county
has lost in the past few days seven
head OF valuable mules, which have
been fed on damaged ensilage, which
is causing considerable uneasiness
among stock raisers OF this section and
other adjoining sections. There seems
To DC no relief for them. AT times they
seem to get better and look like get
ting well when all at once they turn
for the worse and soon die. Mr..
Baughman has several more that are
sick and it is hard to tell just what
will be the outcome to those still
alive. He had vcterinaries from Lex
ington with them last week, but every
thing that was given them for relief
seemed to do them harm They try
TO eat and drink all the time they are
sick but cannot swallow anything at
all. He has moved them to other barns
to see if any change will help and is
using all means to break up the cpl
demic, ii il proves to be such. The
loss is very heavy, as they would have
sold on an average OF SIPS per head
Mr.. c. NJ. Back has lose two nice
mules also from same cause and has
horse that is still in bad condition
from same cause. The trouble seems
to be from silage fed out of the wood
en- silo in this section. No one has had
any loss where the concrete silo feed
has been used
Quite lot OF farmers around here
had their cattle to go on stampede
last week during the crusted snow
They became excited by the breaking
OF the snow under their feed. They
broke into run and went over fences
in full run. They kept it up until
they were out of running order and |
then just kept walking Some OF them |
had their tongues out and seemed to be |
scared to death. Mr. !. p. Rife had |
hard work to get his quoted down.
They are looking bad vet from the ef-
fect and he says that il will take
month to get them back to where they
we're at the time.
Mr.. ]. b Honaker's cattle went on
| stampede the same day by hired
nan going TO the barn, walking in the
rusted snow that lay on the Tound
1t the time. They made a break To-
liberty over fences and going to the
assure, where they had been in the
abit OF running. He had hard work
citing them Gained down from run
ing. They never ate anything for sew
raj hours, but kept running until they
ave out and then kept up a walk
ie finally got on horse and walk
d them to the barn, calling to them,
nj could not drive them in until he
ode in several times on the horse.
