The Department of agriculture Is trying to eliminate tho danger to cattle from poisonous plants on national forest ranges. Of these plants, larkspur loco weed, death camas. and water hemlock, are the moat poisonous. Larkspur does the most harm, because it is so widely distributed and is particularly bad for cattle. Ordinarily, horses will not eat larkspur and sheep pan eat It without apparent injury. Let's Build in Washington perk.

C., Mar. 12.?The Department of Agriculture, during tho past year, has been conducting campaigns in Indiana, Missouri, Iow& and Nebraska to control the contagious disease of hogs known as c "hog cholera" by means of anti-hog- ? cholera serum and farm quarantine?. In one couqty (Pettis county, Missou 1 rl) where thero was a loss of IS per 0 cent in 1911 and 25.6 per cent in 1 1912 of all hogs raised, tnero was c only a loss of 14.7 per cent up to ^ i November 1913. This decrease r was due to the use of the serum, E ; which attaougfc., not used there by the c Department's agents until August, , | 1913, materially reduced the loss. c , About 60,000 hogs wore raised dur- ( { ing the past year and of the 10,000 ( , that died of the hog cholera only ; about 1,000 were lost after the ac- j r tive use of serum and quarantine n ensures were inaugurated. In every county where these f measures were employed, even f I though bgun after the disease had , . continued-its ravages for some time , there was 1cbj? joss from hog cbol- ( J era than in either of the two preced! ing years. In addition to its great function 1 as a preventivo, it has been found \ I that the anti-hog-choleTa scrum J 1 would cure a largo proportion of j hogs in the o&rly stages of the dlaj ease and render them Immune after .. recovery. However, if hogs ate not , f treated by this serum from 75 to , b 100 per cent of all affected herds P die.,This serum, so far as is known, is the only thing that will prevent the disease. r Of hogs actually sick when treat" ed, the Department's inspectors lost bnt 26 per oent-during the past sum mer. Of well hogs in diseased herds. 2.8 per cent died after b??ng treated and of hogs in exposed herds less than 1 per cent died after being inoculated with the serum. In an infected herd there is always cer tain proportion of hogs that are well. The inspector examines the hogg, 0 when he arrives, takes the tempera0 tare of all hogs ip the herd and sop0 arates the sick from ttfe well.
