Larkspur
- ... -
Lurkspur poisoning which) each
year causes Ions to tin- cattlemen of
Mtwn Oregon has hccii the subject
of an exhaustive study conducted by
the IT, S. department of agriculture.
Much larkspur poisoning l said to
abound in the I'matllla forest.
The recent experiment conducted
by the department, a report of which
Is publlBhed In Professional 1'aper
No. 365, Indicate that the various
(ipeoles of lurkspur are poisonous to
eltle and horses, but not to sheep.
Sxcept under unumial circumKtancea,
however, horses do not eat enough ofi
the plant to produce any 111 effects. 1
Prom a practical standpoint, there
fore, tt may be said that larkspur af
Tecta cattle only. It was also found
that a ciuantlty of the weed eiual to
at least 3 per cent of the weight of
the animal wiu necessary to produce
poisoning.
In the opinion of the investigators,
the fact that sheep are apparent
nhle to feed upon liirkepnrs with en
ure impunity may ttu utllliscd in
.some I'ti-es to protect the cuttle.
Wliert) lurkspur is especially abund
ant, the paper already mentioned
sas it Is dmirable to use tlie range
for sheep grazing rather than for lat
tle or to combine sheep grazing and
laltle grazing In such a manner thai
I be areas Infested with larkspur shall
be first eaten down by the sheep. On
comparatively limited areas It may
be possible to dig up the tall lark
spur but this Is frequently too costly
a measure to be adopted and, fur
thermore, it is rurely possible to erad
icate competely the poisonous weed.
(lenerally speaking, there are two
great groups of larkspurs the tall
and the low. The low disappear from
the range early in July and cases of
poisoning from them are usually con
fined to the months of May ' and
June. The tall larkspurs live through
the summer season, making their
first appearance In early spring. This
Is the time In which they are the moid
poisonous. After blossoming, their
poisonous character appears to dimin
Ish. Ultimately, It disappears and the
plant dries up although the Beeds re
main poisonous In Colorado, most
of the cases of poisoning from the
tall larkspure occur in May and June,
with sporadic cases In July, lp other
localities, however, the larkspur
blossoms later and poutoning may
occur as late as August or even September.
On the range the first evidence
thirl the animal lias been poisoned is
frequently afforded by its falling
down. After a short interval it will
probably regain Its feet only to fall
again. As the effect of the poison
wears off, the anlma! Is able to keep
its feet for longer and longer period
and finally walks off very much as ir
nothing hail happened. In severer '
cases It is ultimately unable t regain
Its feet at all and dies fjovernment
experiments indi'ate that beneficial
results may be obtained by treating
tiie poisoned animals with hypoder
mic injections of physostigmin salicy
late, pilocarpi!! hvdi-orhlorid and
strychnin snlph ite. 1:' neeessarv,
these treatment m;'v be followed b

David 13. Helmick, one of the con
tenders for the championship In the
bucking contest at the Kound-Up, Is
perhaps the oldest active cowboy in
the country. Although very active
hale and hearty, the veteran buckaroo
celebrated his 62nd birthday Septem
i br 17.
I Last year he gained fame by win
I ning the bucking contest at the Grant
I county Round-I'p at Canyon City. All
i of the contenders with the exception
I of Helmick were young men. During
the past summer he has been working
in a lumber yard and has been on a
horse very little the past year. He
i rides today the same saddle he d
j 29 years ago. In 1887 he was given
(an old saddle by a friend and afier
! a little repairing the saddle is yet in
good condition.
Mr. Helmick is a man of moderate
habits. He has drank but three
glasses of whiskey in his life and has
never used tobacco In any form. He
never drinks tea and coffee. The
: (Jrant county man is the father of
thirteen children, seven of whom are
dead.
Hemich has never been injured but
once by a horse apd this was while
riding a gentle horse. At the age of
nine years old the old Dobbin fell
down ant! he struck his shoulder
against the ground His left shoulder
has always been lower than his right, !
Helmick came to Tendleton last
week, had his saddle fixed up and was
rs anxious as the boldest cowboy to ,
take on any bucker the Kound-I'p
possesses.
