P0ISONS OF Johnson GRASS
All Fodder Plants Related to Sor-
ghum Must Be Used With Disere-
ton as Feed for Stock.

By C. H. GLOVER. Colorado Expert
ment Station)
Johnson grass is closely related to
sorghum. Poisoning Of cattle from
sorghum and kafir corn is we'll known
After chemical analysis of many
plants Brunnich gave the following
advice: "All fodder plants related to
sorghum must be used with discretion
in either the green or dry state and
should not be given in large amounts
to animals which have tasted for some
time" The poison in these plants is
hydrocyanic acid Poisoning usually
occurs when the plants have made a
stunted growth from drought and are
eaten in large quantities, when the
animals are very hungry.
Animals poisoned in this way usu-
ally die within half an hour and some
timaS live only few minutes. Hydro
cyanic acid is the most deadly of poi
sons and in large doses kills almost
instantly. Animals usually die sud
denly from paralysis Of respiration
and before medical measures can be
thought of or prepared for use.

Women, u 10 said. viii Remember .
Wrong Much Longer Than
VIII . Man.

Reports from Berlin refer to the
"vindictive hatred" Of the German
women for their country's foes. From
the soldiers home from the front
come words Of respect, even of praise,
for their adversaries in arms, but the
women nurse their enmity; theirs is
''haughty Juno's unrelenting hate"
and they freely express it.
The fact only proves that German
women are Sisters under the skin"
with the women Of other nations. Is
feminine hatred Of the enemy more
intense in Inter den Linden than in
the Champs Elysees or in London's
West End? We doubt it. Woman's
capacity for hate is equaled only by
her capacity for love. Her deeper
depths Of affection are matched by
depths of enmity, where her emo
tions are profoundly stirred, un-
known to man. Men, individually
and in the aggregate, fight and for
give. But with the women the Of
tense rankles long after the physical
wounds are healed.
Hatred is not new feminine at
tribute, nor is it local to any country.
The women of Berlin are no better
haters than we're the women Of the
South in the Civil war or the women
of Rome and Athens centuries before.
Hatred has been a sex prerogative
since the beginning of history, and
its possession is what makes women
in the broader sense the best patriots.
There is theory that women would
put an end to war if they had the
determining voice. That is a hy-
pothesis of doubtful soundness,
Few women are pacific at heart,
and though the development Of po-
litical consciousness has made them
more keenly appreciative of the ter
rible price they pay for war, the
proposition is a long way from proof
that they would abolish it if they
could.

the meat is at present sold under the
name of Angora mutton, for prices
slightly higher than those paid for
cheap mutton The meat of the An
CORA is preferable to that of the COM
mon goat. A venison-like flavor is
given to goat meat when the animals
browse upon various wild shrubs.
This gamy favor, however. is not so
noticeable when the animals are fed
upon cultivated plants. Very little
use is made Of the milk of goats in
this country, but analyses show it to
be of high nutritive value, and it can
be used in the manufacture of cheese.
The presence of Angoras or other
goats in bands of sheep is said to be
a source of protection to the sheep.
since goats will defend themselves
and the entire herd against attacks Of
dogs or coyotes.

last few years. however. that the goat

About 100000 Of these are Angoras.

Goats are useful for several pur-

manufacture of leather. or for rugs
the fine hair OF the Angora is known
as mohair, and is used in the manu-

In manufacture in the United States
is much in excess of the supply which
can be obtained from goats In this
country, and a good market for this
product may be expected for a long
time to come.
