RAYLESS G0LDENPoD
POISONOUS TO STOCK
"AlkaIi Disease" Has Caused
Many Fatalities.
Investigations Carried on in New Mex.
leo, Texas and Arizona-Fattest
Cattle Are Usually the Ones
First Affected.

Following investigations of n live
stock ailment commonly known as "al-
kali disease or milk sickness" the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has found the rayless godenrod
to be the probable cause. Experimental
work with this plant produced symp.
toms corresponding to those character
istlc of this disease. Investigations
by the department included regions In
New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona where
"alkali disease" has caused many
fatalities among domestic animals.
The rayless goldenrod Is known to
botanists as lsocoma wrlghtii; in Ari-
zona csttlemen sometimes call II "jim
my weed
DIR. G. ID. Marsh, poisonous plants
specialist for the bureau OF animal
industry, has found the plant to be
poisonous TO cattle, sheep, and horses.
Among cattle, typical symptoms are
drowsiness and weakness. If the an.
lmals become excited or attempt to
travel far their motions become perky
aud their legs seem to give way. Some
are unable TO get up after falling. The
fattest cattle are usually the ones
first affected. Considerable numbers
of work horses and stock horses have
died In the regions mentioned from in
tluences now attributed to the rayless
goldenrod. Horses frequently died in
from one to three days after show
ing symptoms of poison. Sheep show
symptoms similar TO those of cattle
and horses. and II Is also likely that
burros are poisoned by the same plant.
The rayless goldcnrod is stout
perennial herb commonly growing
about 2 feet high, though under
favorable circumstances ii may reach
n height of feet or more. The heads
are numerous and have yellow flow.
ers.
To prevent losses from this poison
Gus plant, the department points out
the feasibility of eradicatlng 1t from
pastures. When dug out to depth
of or 3 inches Il. seldom reappaars (;
this plan of eradication is practicable
where the growth is not too extensive.
Where plants are too numerous to be
dug. reliance must be placed In NOV
ing the animals so that they can get
no more of the poison and may receive
an abundance OF good feed.

Loading Milk for Shipment.
Where milk is shipped by train OF
trolley, loading stations are usual,
provided. Sometimes these are mer,
platforms, but often track is cor
structed at right angles to the rallwa
with a platform that can be rolled
out to the roadside and then pusher
close to the car to expedite loadin
the train. Where milk is to he lef
for any length of time, these plai
forms should be covered to keep on
the suns rays.
When the milk Is on the train tn,
farmers part of the distribution
stops. but his interest Is rot ended
for If the milk is soured at the other
end of the route or If the health de
partment test shows an excesslv,
bacteria count due to improper meth
odS OF production and cooling, there
may be reaction that will reduce
his years profits.
The production and marketing OF
milk Is exacting and requires n
knowledge of modern methods. Sue
cess depends on factors once un.
thought of, and the farmer who meet,
these exactions is nearer TO making
successful settlements with the dis
tributlng companies than the one who
lets things slide.
