The Department of Agriculture at
Washington has just issued a warm
ing to watch for and destroy the most
violently poisonous of plants in the
temperate zone, the cicuta or water
hemloCk, or the wild parsnip as it is
known in the mountainous regions of
the west. Every year many deaths Of
human beings as well as Of domestic
animals are caused by this plant
which grows in wet places and es-
pecially along irrigation bitches. Only
the roots are poisonous and these are
usually brought to the surface by
farmers in blowing. Humans may re-
cover from the poison by prompt use
of cathartics but about all that can
be done for livestock is in the way of
prevention. This can best be done by
destroying the roots in the spring.
