Arsenic Is Still Taking
Heavy Toll of Cattle
By ]. w. Stafford, D.V.M.

pened so many times with that old
grasshopper bait, or any other poison
for that matter. The old sacks of
grasshopper bait were placed in that
old shed years ago and forgotten
about. When the wood rotted out,
the cows got in. Cows, blast their
ornery hides, seem to like the taste
of arsenic and they will go out of
their way to lick it up.
Because of the strong concentra-
ton of arsenic in this shed, the cows
were able to get lethal dose with
no trouble at all. The loss when the
final score was in was 16 good dairy
cows. It is going to take little
longer to pay off that mortgage.
Several such cases as this occurred
during 1858. This was the worst loss
we heard about. When these losses
are taken year after year, we wonder
why more isn't done to prevent them.
One day every year should be pro-
claimed, Locate that Poison Day."
Find any poison that is likely to be
harmful to livestock. Put it in a
place they can never reach. How
about that old grasshopper bait?
Find it! And bury it 10 feet deep in
a place that will never wash out!

Bulletin Reports
Value of Urea

UREA HAS ITS place as a partial
substitute for expensive soybean
meal in the feeding of sheep, feed
ing tests at the University of Wyo-
ming show.
One hundred bred yearling range
ewes from Albany county were
divided into five equal lots to test
the relative value of urea and soy
bean meal as protein supplement.
The control lot received no protein
supplement. Urea and soybean meal
were fed alone and in combination
with one another in the other four
lots. Urea supplied one-half of the
protein supplement in one of the
two combination lots, and three
fourths of the supplement in the
other combination lot.
Best results can be obtained with
urea when fed in combination with
a egetable-protein source, in the
opinion of N. w. Hilston, animal
production head at the agricultural
experiment station who was one of
the experimenters in this project.
1.-THE combination with urea pro-
viding three-fourths of the protein
supplement gave about as good re-
suits in this study as the combina-
ton in which urea provided one
half of the supplement" he states.
In the experiment the average
fleece weight of the urea lot was
significantly greater than the aver
age of the other lots. The average
birth weight of the lambs in the
straight soybean lot and in the COM
bination lots were significantly
greater than the average in the con-
troll lot.
The experiment is treated fully
in a publication of the experiment
station. Monograph Circular 35,
Civilization of Non-protein Nitrogen
by Pregnant Ewes" by R. w. Mason,
P. o. Stratton, and N. w. Hilston,
can be obtained from the Bulletin
Room, College of Agriculture, Lara
ME, Wyo. It will also be made
available through the offices of
county agricultural agents.

Veterinary

cattle poison, arsenic, has killed as
many cattle as it has in previous
years. Wonder when all this arsenic
poisoning of adult cattle is going to
stop.
The other day young fellow took
on big mortgage, bought a good
farm and moved on with the fam
lily and 80 fine dairy cattle. He was
on the farm over a month and the
cattle were fine. Everything was set
for bright future.
One day the feed company de-
1ivered load of grain to the farm.
The day following the feeding of this
new grain four cows were found sick
and two were down and dying. In
the afternoon three more cows were
sick, two were dead and three were
down and dying. The following
morning two more were dead, four
more were sick and two were dying.
This sort of thing continued for four
days.
Arsenic, But Where?
Autopsy on the dead cattle re-
vealed a post norton picture of a
heavy metal poisoning. Chemical
analyses of the stomach contents
proved the poison to be arsenic.
Where did the arsenic come from?
The only new source of feed in the
last month was the grain delivered
by the feed company the day before.
Looked like a cinch to locate the
arsenic this time, but the feed was
analysed and it was negative to the
arsenic test. Took the cows off this
feed and they continued to die.
Let's search the ranch.
No!
Why not?
Because the cattle have been on
the ranch for a month and they didn't
start dying until that new feed was
brought on. If you can't find the
poison in that feed your tests must
be off!
Things are getting pretty alarm
ing! The ranch is looked over for
arsenic with no luck, because it just
has to be in that new grain and there
isn't any use looking any place else.
Deaths Continue
More cows have died and the tests
of the stomach contents are still posi-
tive to arsenic. The cows haven't had
the new grain for four days. They
are getting arsenic some place. The
search for the poison is intensified.
Everyone is sure none of the neigh
bors would maliciously poison the
cattle and, besides, this fellow didn't
have an enemy in the world.
Up the creek in the main pasture,
where cattle have grazed for years,
was an old, crumpling shed. Appar-
emily one of the boards that had been
nailed across the door of one of the
rooms had rotted and was broken
off, permitting the cattle to get into
this room.
Scattered on the floor of the room
were few shreds of old burlap bags,
a lot of dust and dirt, and some ma
terial that looked as if it could have
been bran if it hadn't been mixed so
well with the dust, dirt and mud.
This stuff was about four inches thick
on the floor of the room Chemical
analysis of the material taken from
the floor proved there was enough
arsenic on that room to kill half the
cows in Montana.
