Grazing in Sprayed Orchards.

all the animals were quite normal, feeding and chewing the 

 cud. On the following day the ewes were again visited, when 

 some of them appeared rather sluggish and a few were scouring. 

 On the 26th the only further alteration in their condition was 

 that a few more appeared to scour. Several sheep, however, in 

 the same orchard, on grass which had not been sprayed, showed 

 similar symptoms. On all subsequent dates, when visited, the 

 sheep presented quite a normal and healthy appearance. The 

 last examination took place on June 7th, and the sheep were 

 found to be in excellent condition. They were then removed 

 from the treated plot. 



The result of this experiment corroborates the observations of 

 practical men and also the results and conclusions derived from 

 similar trials conducted years ago in America, namely, that 

 stock may be kept on land where trees are washed with 

 arsenites.
