NEW MENACE TO RANGE STOCK
Menziesia a Poisonous Plant Which
May Kill Sheep and Cattle

Stockmen in the Northwest are be-
ing warned by the u. s. Department
OF Agriculture that the plant Menzi-
and cattle. Menziesia is a struggling,
branching shrub which grows to be
from to z feet in height. In this
country 1t is found in the southern AL
leghenies and in the mountains of
northern California, Wyoming, Oregon,
Idaho and Washington. The Rocky
Moutain species, which is the one
known to be poisonous, usually occurs
at attitudes of from $500 to 5000 feet
on moist northern slopes, in open
woods and about the "balds." In some
places it grows abundantly, and on
the other hand there are long stretches
in which no specimens at all are to be
found.
Stock poisoned by Menziesia exhibit
symptoms much like those caused by
a number of other plants. There Is a
noticeable frothing at the mouth and
weakness, which causes staggering in
the gait and ends in more or less COM
plete paralysis. There is usually pro-
nounced nausea and sometimes diff
Guilty in breathing. 1t is believed, how
ever, that considerable quantity Of
the plant must be eaten before its ef-
fects become dangerous.
Where there is abundance of other
fodder sheep will not east Menziesia.
The trouble occurs when there is no
other food readily available. Thus
when sheep are driven rapidly along
narrow trails-where the plant is most
likely to abound-they are apt to seize
upon it, and this is also true when bed
ding grounds are used repeatedly and
the healthy forage in the neighbor-
hood consequently exhausted.
The remedy is for herdsmen to
learn to recognize the plant. A further
investigation into the subject is now
being carried on, but the Department
has already published a preliminary
pamphlet, "MenZiesia, New Stock
Poisoning Plant Of the Northwestern
States" which contains a description
and pictures OF the plant The thin
leaves of the shrub are one to two
inches long, and one-half to one inch
wide. The flowers grow from terminal
buds, expanding with the leaves. They
are bell-shaped or cylindrical, about
one-quarter. inch broad, and pink to
greenish white in color.

The large landowner should pay
as much in proportion to his land
values as the poor man who owns
only one lot upon which his modest
cottage is located. Equalization OF
taxes equalizes land values and
makes every man, regardless OF his
influence, pay his taxes based upon
the same ratio Of value as his neigh

ter. We are State organization

The suffrage movement is not one
OF recent awakening, but, as Dr.
Anna Howard SnaW says, has been
going on and advancing since the
signing of the Declaration OF lnde-
penaence. Each generation, each
wear. it made some progress until
it finally reached the stage Where
wise people realized that two gooo
votes were better than one, ana &C
cordingly, in 1863 wyoming, Whlle
still q territory, embodied INTO lts
Constitution an amendment granting
the vote to women. And Wyoming
has never regretted the move. For
at the time tnls Territory was ASKING
admission into the Union the women
sent q message TO representatives Al
Washington, stating tnaL ii wyoming
could not be admitted with the Wo-
men enfranchised to cut out that
clause OF the Constitution, and that
they would trust to the men OF the
State to re-enfranchise their women.
But the following message Was sent
back: 1--WE Will come III with our
women or not at all" And they did.
Following Wyomings example.
but not until some years LATER sew
eral other States entIanch1sed their
women. UnlIl at the present time
there are twelve States IN the Union
(which allow their women to vote.
As proof that the experiment Is prov
Ing successfully satisfactory we may
cite the fact that 1t is not an isolated
State here and there which is adopt
ing this innovation, but all the states
winch have allowed women to vote
border on one another. we can only
draw the conclusion that state see
ing its neignDor prosperlng under
this introduction OF a potent factor
for good and wholesome politics into
its government also makes q similar
change in its governing machine.
The first suffrage parade ever seen
in any Southern city was held in
Atlanta, Georgia, two weeks ago
during the Harvest Festival. The
parade was led by Mrs. M. l.. Nc
Lendon, president Of the Georgia
Woman Suffrage Association, who
rode in the Eastern Victory car
which was originally owned by DIR.
Anna Howard Shaw.
The marchers all carried suffrage
standards, and following the example
set by New York City, paraded IN
dignifed silence.
So, slowly but surely, the world
wide suffrage movement is being I'M
planted into the mind, heart and
understanding OF the reticent South.

believe in it. but it is inevitably COM

Dear Editor:

II the question arose % to which
was the greatest model Of woman
kind, the greatest benefit to our
country and our home, the sweet,
oldfashioned mother who cared for
her children herself reared them,

ing prayers: yes, punished them too,
when need be, implanted In neir
little hearts the knowledge that sin
is SIN for her romping, healthy boy.
Just the same as for the quiet, home
loving girl. Her home was her
heaven. Perhaps the broken toys
did make 1t seem q little unsidy
at times, but it was home, where the
boy and girl knew rest, love and hap
piness; shelter for the cares aud
the big world outside Of her own
neighborhood, but she did know
when the old woman over the Way

Such an institution Of q local ma
ture has been in operation ii Shreve-
port since 1905. This school has
provided home, care and training
in both literary and domestic work
for neglected and dependent girls be-
tween the ages of two and eighteen
years. Many girls in this scnooi
have received such training as has
fitted them to be self-supporting, and
are now independent. From Inherit

We have every reason t obefieve that
