"You can feed sheep any amount of larkspur, and they will grow fat on it. I recommend that you put youl horses and sheep on your larkspul ranges. Horses would be poisoned by it, only they won't eat enough of il to hurt them. 1
 "One of the most serious poisonous plants here is the whirl milkweed Less than a pound of it will kill any animal. But it is the same with this plant as with other poisonous plants; cattle are not likely to be poisoned with it unless starved into eating it. If you drive cattle or sheep 8 long way along a trail where milkweed is about the only vegetation, something will happen. I remember the case of western Colorado sheepman, who kept 1900 sheep in the shearing pen 24 hours without anything to eat, and then turned them out into a stubble field where most of the grazing was whirl milkweed. He lost 500. Three or four ounces of whirl milkweed will kill sheep. But if there is plenty of other feed, stock won't trouble the milkweed.
 "Dr. Drew, veterinarian at Grand Junction, Colo, treats four or five hundred cases of whirl milkweed poi soning every year. He probably loses 99 per cent of the cases.
 "Whirl milkweed thrives best on cultivated and irrigated land. It is ,c,ouI ko<l hxy x,,a<ar aul b,, o,,1k:un tion. The disk harrow is one of the surest ways of spreading it. Late fall blowing is one of the best ways of eliminating it. It is very thick in the alfalfa fields of Colorado and New Mexico. The more you cultivate it out, the more you have. It will also spread, though more slowly, over the grazed ranges, but the animals are safe there unless the grazing gets pretty short. Whether dry or fresh it is equally poisonous"
 Dr. Eggleston was asked about pin que. He said he didn't want to say much about it, but believed that it never killed head of stock. He be- lieves that it is the plants that grow WlCn piuBue CnaC cause IrOuDie. ne fed it to sheep for nine years and it did not hurt them. In New Mexico, 2,0O0 sheep died on pingue range. He examined the skeletons but failed to find any of the rubber balls it is commonly claimed are formed in the stomachs of sheep by eating pingue. He has found none in sheep's stom- achs after feeding it, nor has he ever found man who, when pinned right down, would ever say that he person ally had ever seen one of those rub Der balls, though there are frequently men to be found who will tell about someone else finding one.
 He picked whirl milkweed in Will liams. Welch station is surrounded by it, and it is abundant along the railroad all the way from there to Ash Fork. He saw it 25 or 30 miles east of the San Francisco peaks.
 He said that he found in the rec. ords at Washington, D. C., a record made by an employee of the Depart ment of Agriculture who 20 years ago had picked whirl milkweed near the San Francisco peaks and had then

heap, and in short time the carcass is entirely burned.
 The black blow-fy also causes trou- ble here, he said. It infests the sheep, causing the wool to peel off. He ad- vised that all sheep be docked-pref- erably with red-hot iron-and the tails burned.
 There are good many lice on our cattle. The long-nosed, blood-sucking variety is the most dangerous. He advocated the use of concrete dipping vats by all stockmen.
 "All ranches should have them," he urged. "Those who have put them in wouldn't be without them now" He advised arsenical solutions, of the commercial varieties, for lice dips.
 For the biting louse, reddish in color, dusting with sodium chloride is effective, but the dip is better.
 He showed how the heel-fy deposits it's larvae on the beef animals heel. The grubs then work clear through the leg and body, emerging near the backbone, damaging the hide, and, of course, affecting the animals health. Sometimes the slug hits the spinal cord, causing the death of the animal. He advised pinching out the slugs when they ppeared on the surface; but, of course, the first consideration is treatment to prevent heel infection.
 Dr. Bishop said that the inner ear tick can not be reached by dipping. The specific in this case is mixture of two parts of pine tar to one part of cotton-seed oil, poured into the ears with long-spout can. This will keep the ticks out of the ears for about thirty days. MT. Fiilerup said the people in his section are having great time this summer with feas. They are in the houses. Dr. Bishop said the first thing to do is to clean out the hog pens and dog kennels, spraying with creosote oil. Cats also breed feas.
 Get rid of these outside breeding sources and you will have little trou- ble in the houses," he said. He told about finding Aeas that day in prairie dog holes. q
 It was brought out that there is no-or vrey little-cattle scab in this tnlS SC8te, altnOugh tney hLc having a great deal of trouble with it in New Mexico. It is very contagious, and may spread here, unless great deal of care is observed, especially in guarding against it's transmission through the importing of breeding stock. .l
 In closing the meeting Dr. Taylor paid a glowing tribute to The Coco nino Sun, which he characterized as the best weekly in the state, if not in the whole country, and said it is a most valuable medium for disseminat- ing information to the farmers and stockmen of Northern Arizona.
 Among the other specialists at the meeting were: Dr. R. H. Williams, professor of animal husbandry, of the state university; Charles U. Pickrell, extension livestock specialist, of the state university; Dr. J. P. Jacks, ex- tension veterinarian, Bureau of Ami nal Industry, Washington, D. C.; R. R. Hill and Mr. Chaplaine, of the U. s. Forest Service.

SOUTH RYEGATE
Missionary Institute and Pageant

The Missionary Institute held here
last week Monday and Tuesday, May
5 and 6, was quite out of the ordin-
airy, returned missionaries being pres
ent from India, Egypt and the Sou
dan.
The Presbyterian church has large
groups of demonstrators going about
from time to time with speakers of
experience, to bring before the public
the needs and opportunities of the
class of people they go among, in that
way stimulating the public mind in
the cause they represent. The group
of returned missionaries from the
foreign field, that was present here
last week, headed by Rev. Mills j..
Taylor, associate secretary of the
Foreign Board, are going about
through the New England Presby-
teries healtening the laymen and mo-
billing them for a forward move
ment in men and money to better
equip and enlarge the force in India,
Egypt and the Soudan; 407 mission
aries is the goal they expect to reach.
The address Monday evening was
by Miss Kate Field, secretary of the
Women's General Missionary Society,
on the theme, The Missionary Chal-
lenge of Today, and DR.. l.. M. Henry,
who is at the head of the Medical
College at Assault, Egypt, spoke on
his experiences as physician.
The Tuesday morning session open
ed with devotional services led by
Rev. l.. H. Simpson of Ryegate, fol-
lowed by an address on Evangelism
by Rev. r. E. Ayres of India; Miss
Nellie Smith of Assault, Egypt, spoke
on the Zenana work; and Dr. l.. NJ.
Henry on the medical work.
After bountiful dinner served by
the ladies of the United Presbyterian
church, the afternoon session opened
with an address by DR.. w. S. Ander-
son on Intercession; DR.. H. e. Phil
lips of Egypt gave an inspiring ad-
dress on Conservation of Wealth and
Life; Rev. J. Mills aTylor spoke in
Thought of What The Church Can
DO at Home.
The Conferences were presided
over by Rev. Mills J. Taylor for pas
tors and laymen; Miss Kate Hill for
the women and their missionary acti-
vities; Miss Ella B. Dowie for the
young people; and Miss Dora B.
Whitley for Sabbath school workers.
Tuesday evening the missionaries
presented in costume the pageant
scenes from the mission fields. The
scenes enacted were most impressive
and left a lasting impression in the
minds of the audience of the vast
work to be done. Stereopticon views
of India and Egypt thrown on the
screen in the afternoon gave the home
people a chance to see their money
at work, and the results.
