The Stock in Poisoned When Feed is Short It is irt'iirrally NCOgaiccd (hat the haftvlest Iobsch of livt; Block from poisonous plants occur in saasons whim feed la short, hut the intimate relation bttwtcn Huch. losses and the food supply does tiot seem to he appreciated at its full vnliir. If it wire un derstood and ucted upon intelli gently there would he much lags complaint of harm done hy jkji'- sonous plants, aecordiiijr to Far mers Rulletin No. b'M). Stock seldom eat poisonous plants when good feed is avail ahle. -This is, in general, true even for the loco weeds, although it is well known that some ani mals have a loco hahit and will eat these weeds in preference to anything- else. This hahit, how ever is usually acquired during a season oi snort ieea, wnen tne loco weeds are the moat attrac tive form of vegetation. If the stock can be prevented from ac quiring the hahit during this per iod of scarcity, there will be a very few locoed animals. larkspur poisoning is most likely to occur during the season of short feed or on an overgrazed area. In either case the lark spur is the most conspicuous form of vegetation to attract the animals and is eaten in lieu of anything better. The roots of water hemlock (Cicuta) ure picked up when there is little else and with dis astrous results. Successive bands of sheep are driven over the same trail until everything suitable for food dis appears, and then there follow cases of poisoning from wild chery. On some trails there is an almost continuous hedge of wild chary, and the leaves are eateti as high as the sheep can reach. We may assume that in such eases the first to pass over the trail are not poisoned, became there is something else to eat, and the last are not poisoned, be cause at that time even the poi sonous plants have been consum ed. Sheep ore sometimes bedded in the same place for several suc cessive days. Under such cir cumstances everything near the bedding ground is eatten, and if there are any poisonous plants some ol the sheeu are pretty sure to get them. One of the heavy losses of the season of 1!M2 was brought about in this way. For live nights a band wus bedded iti the same juice, with a consequent loss of 200 head. A band in the same neighborhood wandering without a hoarder suffered no loss. If sheep are 'Kisoned by milk weeds and the evidence seems to be fairly conclusive that they are, it is only when there la little else to eat, for sheep do not eat milkweeds under normal condi tions.
