IS PRODUCT OF VENEZUELA
Poison Gases Used in Warfare Are
Made From SabadiIla, Grown Only
in That Country.

The asphyXiating and tear-produc-
ing gases used i'm the war are made
from sabadilla, product exported
only from Venezuela, according to an
American consular report from that
country.
Saba lila, meaning barley, is the
name of a plant of the lily family.
bCtanically called veratrum sabadilla
retztus, occurring only in Venezuela
and Mexico. The highly poisonous
seeds have long been used in medicine.
While nothing is known in Venezuela
as to the use of the alkaloid product
of the seeds in the making of war
gases, it is a fact that sabadilla dust
initiates the eyes, the throat and the
nose so much that laborerS working
with it are obliged to wear protecting
masks.
The first importation from Vene-
zuela was made to Hamburg 25 or 30
years ago. The foreign demand has
never amounted to more than 5000
sacks annually.
Sabadilla seeds and all preparations
compounded from them have been de-
clared contraband by Great Britain.
The substances produced from the
seeds are cavadine, or crystallized
veratric, an alkaloid, veratric acid,
and sabadalline, which is an amor
plus, pleasant smelling alkaloid that
accelerates the beating of the heart.

WastefuI Method of Handling Manure.
feeds brought into the state more than
covers that in agricultural products
sold by Wisconsin farmers.
Enormous Waste Of Manure.
The United States department of ag-
riculture estimated the number of cat,
| tie in the United States on January 1,
1910, at 7O,000,O0O; sheep, 57,216,OOO;
swine, 47,7S2,00O. If we assume that
ten sheep or hogs are equivalent to
| one cow or steer in manure production,
we shall have total of over S0,OOO,-
| 600 cattle. They are no doubt equiva-
lent to 60,000000 1,OOO-pound cattle. If
| these are yarded four months each
| winter, there should be total manure
production during that period of $780,
100000 tons, having a crop-prOducing
value of at least $200,0O0,O00 above all
cost of handling. 1t is very conserva-
tive estimate to place the waste Of
this manure under the present system
Of handling at 25 per cent, or $780,
100000 annually. 1t is no doubt twice
that amount.
Manure is lost by weathering, leach
ing, heating, rotting, by piling in heaps
in the field and letting stand before
spreading. If you cannot spread it
soon after it is produced, store it in q
pit or manure shed.
OF all the ways in which manure is
handled, piling it in heaps in the field
is the most wasteful. 1t is worse than
leaving it under the barn caves and
letting it leach out there, because of
the waste of labor involved in hauling
it to the field to be thrown away.
The overgrowth of lodged and half
filled grain over such spots ought to
be sufficient to convince any man of
the mistake of such a method; vet
there are thousands Of farmers who
are still piling manure in the fields.
Value of Liquid Manure.
A greater portion of the fertilizing
value of the manure is found in the
liquid portion. The full effect of
neither the solid nor the liquid portion
can be obtained except when used in
connection with the other. If the
liquid is permitted to flow away or
become leached out by rain and sepa-
rated from the solid portion, whether
in yard or field, it carries with it the
plant food. The only right way to
handle manure is to collect the liquid
by abundant absorbents as straw, get
it promptly to the field, spread it there
at once and let sunshine and rain do
their work. The sunshine will evap-
crate the water and the rain which fol-
lows will dissolve the salts and wash
them into the soil where they are
needed.
