EXPERT ON TRAIL
Of S|LACE POISON
At MLEAN FARM
UNIVERSITY CHIEFS BELIEVED
TO HAVE DISCOVERED SERUM
THAT WILL CURE MYSTERIOUS
STORYTELLING DISEASE.

An experiment upon an extensive
scale to ascertain the causes of silage
poisoning and to discover a cure or
a preventative is being conducted by
Prof. Rusk, of the state university.
and Prof Graham of the University of
Kentucky. at the farm of Alex Nc
Lean east of town.
About year ago the horses of Mr.
Mclean were taken sick after eating
silage that had been removed from the
top of the silos and had been used
for bedding in the horse barn. This
silage was not fed to the horses for
fodder but it was eaten by them just
the same Silage poisoning resulted
and practically all the horses that had
eaten the silage or ate it afterwards
thru experimentation died. This de-
veloped into an extensive investiga
ton on the part of the state, and vet.
erinarians from Illinois and adjoin-
ing states came here to witness the
experiments and note the results.
AT the same time Drs. Rusk and
Graham were trying to discover a cure
or preventative and to discover what
1t was in the silage that caused death
This experiment has extended thru
several months time and has resulted
in the discovery of serum by Dr.
Graham, which he claims is sure
preventative This serum was taken
from the dead animals which were
poisoned by the silage and was given
to the animals before they were fed
upon slage that may not be up to
STANDARD, II is not claimed by the
serum that it will cure an animal
| after they have once become affected.
The silage that is being used at the
Mclean farm is some that was saved
from last years supply and kept at
the Mclean farm for their expert
ments. Two weeks ago eight horses
were brought to the Mclean farm and
were fed on the silage that had beer
preserved for this purpose. OF these
eight, five were given the serum pre-
pared by DR.. Graham and the othel
three were not given the treatment
One of the three died on Friday, a
second on Saturday, and the third has
paralysis. The other five are in good
healthy condition and show no bad eff
tects from eating the silage.
Ten more horses were brought tc
the farm on Sunday and the expert
ment will be continued under the di
rection of the two university men
These experiments are said to be
more impo. tant and will be produc
tive of more good than any expert
ments conducted in recent years.
The discovery of a preventative
serum may lead to the discovery of 6
serum that will effect cure after
the animal becomes sick. Expert
ments are also being made with COW
and goat serums

Washington, June 25.-It will cost

amendment added to the food control
bill by the House Saturday, according
to data submitted to the Senate finance
today by treasury department expert
statisticians.
Indications are, however. that these
staggering figures will not swerve the
Senate from concurrence in the
Houses determination to force i'm
mediate prohibition in some form up
on the country. The federal govern
ment's share of the cost of prOhibi
tion in annual revenue is estimated
to be approximately $750.OO0000 The
new war revenue bill. recently passed
by the House. would add additional
levies upon liquor estimated to bring
the total annual yield from intoxi-
cants up to about $500, o00,000 an
nually. The application Of the in
come and excess profits taxes upon
the brewers, distillers and wine max

an additional $250,000000.
