HORSES Die from ENSlLAIC|;lE::
GAS FORMED IN SILO CAUSED
FORMATION OF POISON
KILLING STOCK

st. Cloud Times (1S): Six horses
belonging to Robert Sisson, a farmer
at Dalbo, Mimi, died, having been
fed decomposing ensilage.
When the first of these horses show
ed symptoms, a veterinarian was call
ed. The farmer believed that he had
placed the. halter about the horse g
neck too tight, causing it to get down
and being unable to rise to its feet.
The veterinarian found symptoms
Of an ailment analogous to Cerebros
Meningitis, a form of paralysis. The
horse s tongue had become paralyzed
and it was unable to swallow. The
doctor examined FIVE other horses and
found them to have symptoms Of the
same disease. They were given anti
dotes, but the six animals died.
The disease was caused by the feed
ing Of ensilage which had begun to
rot about the walls of the silo. The
ensilage had evidently not been pack
ed as solidly as it should have been
when the silo was filed. Air remained
in the ensilage, forming gases which
poisoned the ensilage.

blown in white cascades down their
eastward slope.) This lizard scurries
over the fine sand, leaving a cloud of
dust in its wake. They can bury them
selves quickly, using their shovellike
snouts to "swim" their way into the
sand by moving the head from side
tc side. Their eyelids are fringed and

wire, in order to deflate it. Then
they pull it out to make a savory

Of the desert creatures need no wa

Standing of the Teams.

Although Young walked four and
contributed two errors in the game
yesterday afternoon between Imperial
and Ell Centro, it cannot be truthful
said that the cause of defeat was
cnargeable the pitcher. There was
not an earned run to ImperiaPs credit
and those they did make were simply
due to loose playing on the part of
the locals. The score was 6 to in
the ninth and Imperial proved equal
to the occasion and drove in two runs
in their ha'" while Daniels held the
visitors scoreless in the last half.
Ell Centre was weak in the receiv-
ing end and reckless throws on the
pert of the outfield aided materially
In allowing Imperial to win. A great
anxiety to lose the ball on the part
of the Ell Centre club proved to be
detrimental. 1t is not necessary to
ncke home run every time at bat
t. win game. Timely singles or
hunts are just as good as three base
hits, especially when no one occupies
the bags. The Ell Centre batters time
and again tried to kill the ball when
the hit-and-run play was all that was
necessary.
Young's two errors amounted prac-
tically to nothing. Ofttimes that
which remains undone is vastly more
important than that which is accom-
plished. This was forcibly illustrated
yesterday afternoon when promiscu-
Gus throwing by Ell Centre outfield-
erc added base after base to Impe-
rial singles. Ten-second men are val
liable attributes to a team, also 800
h;tters increase the efficiency, but eX
hibition of head work or use of gray
matter is much more to be desired.
That is just what licked Ell Centro
yesterday, or rather the lack of "use
your noodle"
Reverting to the game: John KEEP
Icy proved to be some hero with the
stick, getting three singles out of
four times up. Young and Rath laced
CIT triples, while Schultz and J. Tack
EFT recorded a brace of clouts each.
Eut opportune hitting was needed. In
the ninth inning Ell Centro had three
r.tn on bases and none out. Such a
situation is full of encouragement,
but this particular occasion was not
of that description. Daniels famed
Jacobson and H. Tackett and forced
J. Tackett to pop to Braadbent, thus
ending the hopes of the visitors.
Ell Centre started off like whirl-
wind, getting four runs in the very
first inning but Imperial came back
ir their half with three. In the third
Imperial added another, tying the
score. In the fifth the locals pushed
a pair of tallies across and it looked
