heart:

Sweet Clover Can Be
Dangerous to Stock

THE UNUSUAL rains of the sum-
mer of 1948 produced sweet clover
crop that excelled anything as far
back as we can remember.
Ever since Paul Bunyan went
through here on his way to the coast
we have seen sweet clover, both yel-
low and white, along the road-sides
and here and there, but during July
and August of 1948 the whole coun-
try turned yellow-hill-sides, pas
tures, road-sides and everywhere.
It grew where nothing but sage
brush and scanty grass had ever
grown before. We will leave 1T to
Ralph Mercer and the other crop ex-
perts to explain the hows and why's
of this sudden explosion of sweet
clover.
Probably no one can tell as how
much of this clover was cut for hay.
A great deal of it was on rough and
brushy and side-hill land, but our
guess is that there is considerably
more of this in the stack than there
has been for some years and that
there is a dense growth of sweet clo-
yer on land that would be generally
used for winter pasture.
Viewed With Alarm
Most of the veterinarians viewed
with alarm" this tremendous sweet
clover crop, for we all know how
deadly this type of feed, whether
used as hay or pasture in the winter,
can be for cattle. We have all seen
heavy losses produced by this feed
and we know that in most cases we
are unable to do very much except
to give the owner some good advice
about the danger of using this crop
as single ration for cattle. While
we have seen some losses in sheep
from the use of this hay, they have
not been nearly as common nor SO
extensive as with cattle.
Under normal winter conditions
sweet clover is not generally used as
hay, or it is at least used carefully,
for most stockmen know what this
hay will do to cattle when fed
straight for three or four weeks. Ev-
cry winter we have losses, some
times quite heavy, when some stock
man uses this hay for the first time
and finds out about it the hard way.
Most men know about sweet clover
and treat it with due respect.
Not Ordinary Winter
But this winter, as all will agree,
Is long way from being a normal
winter. The hay supply for the or
dinary feeding period is not going
to be enough this year and some
stockmen will be cutting cotton
woods and willows for cattle feed
before the green grass comes. Under
such conditions, this sweet clover
both as hay and pasture, may be
used extensively and there may be
disastrous stock losses resulting
Scattered losses have already oc-
Cured.
Sweet clover, either yellow Oh
white, contains substance that pre-.
vents the clotting or coagulation o.
the blood. People say that the blood

Maurice Phillips retired today
after % years of handling the big
stock" at the Zoo.
An assistant headkeeper there
for the last three years, his ami
NAL domain included the exhibits
in the Elephant House and all the
animals in the outdoor cages near
the Connecticut avenue entrance
to the Zoo.
1t was through that entrance
the Mr.. Phillips drove one March
day in 1921. He was looking for
a job, and had taken short cut
through the park.
A relative. riding with him,
hailed a passing figure.
There is William Blackburne,
the headkeeper. he said, maybe
he has a job for you-a temporary
one, anyway"
Took Temporary" Job.
Mr.. Blackburne hired Mr.. Phil
lips on temporary basis. Within
three weeks the new employe was
a permanent one. He was as
signed to the old elephant house
in the clearing near the spot OF
the present small animal house.
He never left the big ones" OF
all the animals he handled, he
liked the elephants the best.
There was Old Babe, majestic
elephant given to the Zoo when
her days as queen of circus herd
were over.
Babe knew her place and de-
manded it," MIR. Phillips recalled
this morning, as he folded up his
faded Zoo uniform. Once when
Kechel-the elephant that died
last year-Was young, she tried to

ahead of Babe. The old animal
swung back her trunk and cracked
Kechel vigorously on her side.
The young one never tried to step
ahead of Babe again"
Jumbina His Favorite.
Mr.. Phillips favorite was Jum-

the Zoo.
She has a wonderful disposi-

she always trumpeted quietly
when I talked to her. She'll
remember me whenever I come
back to visit, too"
