MANY cows POISONED
When They Went Investigating in a
Neighboring Lot.

Salt and paris green as a dairy ration
have a positively deleterious effect on
cattle, even in these days of intensively
queer notions about farming, and evil
dence indisputable in this premise is in
the possession of Richard Truba, who is
in charge of the Shepard farm on the
Montpelier road. Three of Mr.. Truba' 5
best mixers are dead, two are on the
threshold of the bovine happy hunting
ground and seven others are getting their
instructions from veterinarian. Signs
of poisoning were noticed in the herd
Thursday night. DIR. 0. f. Barr was
called, but before he could make a move
three cows were dead All told II had
been affected by ration which the farm
er had not included in his diet list for
the dairy. Investigation disclosed the
fact that the cows, turned out TO pas
ture in the forenoon. had broken through
a strip of fence and into the meadow lot
of neighbor.
DR.. Barr had satisfied himself that
poison was responsible for the condition
Of the stock and as the investigation pro.
ceeded it developed that the cows had
browsed their way into a shed or lean-to
in the meadow. There a mixture of salt
and paris green had been left by acci-
dent and the curiosity Of the four footed
trespassers was not satisfied until all had
been poisoned The dead cows were val
ued AT $500 and more. Two of the herd
are in a dangerous condition, but may
survive. The others are recovering.

GERMAN PEOPLE HIT HARD.
But They Must Suffer to Keep the Sol
diers Fighting.

London, April 2l.A message sent by
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to Gen.
Groener, head of the German munitions
department, with reference to strikes in
industrial communities, has been received
here by wireless from Berlin. Field Mar
shall Won. Hindenburg says he recognizes
that the population has been hit hard by
the reduction OF the bread ration, but
that undoubtedly the increase in meat
and the regular delivery of potatoes will
compensate therefor. While he is con-
WINGED that the authorities will see to the
proper distribution of foodstuffs, the
field marshal said:
81 am, therefore, quite unable to sec
how the food situation can be made the
ground for strikes by workers while our
present position on the western front,
which must be fought out there, demands
an undiminished production of war sup
plies OF all kinds. This is the first task
and takes precedence over all Others
"Every strike, however small, may be
the means of an unjustifiable weakening
of our defensive force, and is an mex
cusable crime against the fighting forces,
especially the men in the trenches, who
bleed in consequence
A Reuter- despatch from Amsterdam
says that Won Hindcnburg concludes his
message by asking Gen. Groener to see
that all means are employed to continue
the production and dispatch of arms and
ammunition, and also to have the neces-
sary explanation given the armament
workers to mend which 'in my opinion
appears the principle for attaining our
great aim"
