SECRETS OF

about milk sickness" It was
one of the serious pests Of the
pioneer period of American life.
Then it seemed to drop out.
But did 1t?
Now it happens that, as pointed
out by DR.. John r. Mohler, chief
Of the United States Bureau Of
Animal Industry, there are quite
a. number Of diseases which
are known to the veterinary sur
geon by one name, and to the
physician by another. One Of
these is the ''trembles'' of cattle,
which is caused by eating GER.
tain poisonous plants, and which
has attracted b great deal Of
scientific study for many years.
Until comparatively recently. how.

been eating poisonous plants.
In the East and Central West
the poisonous food is the rich.

Texas and New Mexico, however,
is caused by q poisonous plant
called the raylesa goldenrod; the
illness in those States goes by the
name Of the 'alkali disease"

that animals may be poisoned by
