Strawstack Poisoning

Every winter in various parts of
the grain-raising localities. many
animals are lost from a condition
known as "strawstack poisoning. d"
This condition has enormously been
called 'cerebro-spinal meningitis. "
The reason for this condition by a
long. high-sounding name by people
is TO cover up their unfamiliarity
with the disease and to mystify the
client. Strawstack poisoning is sim
pie in origin and the cause is general
ly easy TO find.
With the present war conditions
facing the country, a short crop the
past season. especially of the import
ant grains. and the high price of hay.

will make il necessary that every
available strawstack will be called
upon to carry as many animals
through the winter rs possible.
The Cause
The cause of the disease is gray
ism black mould which develops on
the straw. This mould seems TO be
most dangerous after ii becomes wet
from rain or snow and is frozen and
the sun comes out warm and baimy
the next morning. The animals will
then be seen around the stack pick
ing out the frozen spots and eating
them. They seem to have an abnor-
NAL appetite fer this frozen mouldy
straw The damage is done by a toX-
in. or poison. which is formed when
this frozen. mouldy. straw is acted
upon by the digestive juices. 1t par

Medicinal Treatment
The first thing to be done is to
