daisy, parsnip. pokeweed. smartweed.
primula. buttercup. poison elder or
poison dogwood. bloodroot. mullen.
cocklebur. and the mustards. He
points out also that the pollen of the
Easter lily has been known to cause

probably as rare as poisoning by
leaves of the geranium or carrot
Some of these plants aye poisonous
when taken internally, but the list
has been made up on the basis of
being skin irritants.

The above telegram was received

quoted as saying In a speech:
II had to send soldiers to Hois-
,ington. Psrsops and Herington, but
mot to Pratt or Topeka. Why? / had
to sepd soldiers to every county that
didn't have q decent sheriff. II you
had tho right obedience by the OIL
GERS OF your county. you wouldn't
have. had soldiers at HoisingtOn."
The governor was quick to correct
the injustice Of the misQuotation
and to praise Sherif Guy Sherman,
whose excellent management Of af-
fairs at Heringt0n and In the county
at large have won the cOmmendatiOn
Of all. Kansas never had more
conscientious and faithful sheriff

White Corn Paws As Well

Kansas should not change from
the raising OF white corn to the rails
ing Of yellow corn, according to ex-
periments conducted at X. y. A. g.
These experiments show that cattle
do better on yellow corn. but the
difference Is not enough to warrant
the change.
Recent cattle feeding experiments
Of the animal husbandry department
of the college showed that cattle will
eat more and fatten quicker when
fed on yellow corn than on white
corn. But the cattle fed on white
corn will eat more roughage to make
up for the bulk list In not eating 30
much corn.
