PoIsoNs OF JOHNSON GRASS
All Fodder Plants Related to sor-
shum Must Be Used With Discre-
flon ae Feed for Stock.

(By @. II. GLOVER, Colorado Expert
ment Station)
Johnson grass is closely related to
sorghum. Poisoning Of cattle from
sorghum and kafir corn Is well 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
times 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.

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 flavor, 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 1t can
be used in the manufacture of cheese.
The presence of Angoras or other
goats in bands Of sheep is said to be
source of protection to the sheep.
since goats will defend themselves
and the entire herd against attacks Of
dogs or coyotes.

The other one was girl gowned In

An interesting enterprise Is the
American cyanamid works at Niagara
Falls, Ont, which began operations in
1910 with a capacity of $4,000 tons,
and which has recently increased its
output to $4,000 tons year In order
to meet the growing demand for its
product. Cyanamid is fertilzing
material obtained by combining at
mosphere nitrogen with calcium car
bide, according to Consul Julius D.
Dreher, at Toronto. BY simply heat
ing cyanamid with steam, ammonia
can be produced, which. being passed
through heated platinum sponges, is
oxidized into nitric acid, of which the
explosive industry uses $4,000 tons a
year. BY fusing cyanamid with salts,
cyanides may be produced which are
used In extracting gold and silver
from low-grade ores AS these and
other useful products may easily be
made from cyanamid, this article is
likely to be in demand in various 9TH
er industries besides agriculture.

Avoid All Sources Of Weed Introduc

In fighting weeds 1t is not only i'm
portant to avoid introducing their
seeds into the fields with seed grain
but 1t is important as well to avoid
other sources of weed introduction
such as weedy barnyards, fence rows
roadsides, bitches and waste places in
general. The weeds should be kept
well cut throughout the season as far
as possible and thus prevented from
ripening seeds to be carried to the
fields by wind, water and animals. AS
fast as possible these places should be
cleared and cleaned up and a good
clean grass sod established Weed

source of weed introduction that
should be guarded against. Such ma.
nure should be we'll composted be-

Ever notice how cows come up on

because the poor beasts get chance
