generally eonsider the plant harmless and 
pay no attention to it, knowing that rat¬

me whether any part of this plant above 
the root is poisonous to cattle, and wheth¬ 
er or not there is danger to rows in pas¬ 
tures where it grows in abundance?

American white hellebore, Verntrum 
viride, is used to form a tincture much 
employed in medicine. It is known ns 
Indian poke, meadow poke, and has many 
other common names, American white 
hellebore is common in swamps and wet 
woods. By Parumel it is said to he espe¬ 
cially common in eastern North America, 
west to Wisconsin, south to tin* moun¬

Another variety, V. (.'alifornicum, is said 
to he common in the mountains of I'ali- 
fornia and the Hooky Mountains as far 
north as British Columbia and south to 
New Mexico. You doubtless refer to 
Veratrum viride. Dr. Winslow says that 
Ihe symptoms of poisoning caused by this 
plant are. salivation, vomiting, or at 
tempts at vomiting, purging, abdominal 
pain, muscular weakness, difficulty in 
progression, loss of power and general 
paralysis, muscular tremors and spasms,

is unaltered in rate at iirst. but later he

There is probably no question hut what 
you can remove the poultry building 
which you erected if the facts are as you 
state. It might be well for you to retain 
the rent until you definitely uncertain 
who the landlord is. and if you have been 
evicted from a portion of the premises 
you might ask him to settle with you for 
the part of the premises which you ftl'e

Do Woodchucks Kill Chickens? 
< >n page 926, (). K. S nsk^ whether 
i>r not groundhogs kill and cat chickens. 
Allow me to rile my experience. Two 
years ago in June, on (’. C. Crandler’s 
poultry plant. I came upon a beautiful 
eight week 1 - old pullet that bail its head 
gnawed off. The next day, in the same 
locality, and almost In the same spot, 1 
found another. The identical occurrence 
was repeated on each of the two succeed 
ing days. In the meantime I had taken 
In carrying a shotgun on my rounds of tin 
range. On the fifth d".v. as I was an 
proaehitig the end of an unused layitu 
house. I spied a shadowy form making 
for under the house, Tiptoeing to the 
corner and peering abound the edge of tl. 
building. 1 stiw Mr. Gniiindbng'. His 
head was iusl mil from under the founda¬ 
tion. and lie was evidently laying in wait 
for his fifth victim. 1 rained the gun. 
look aim. and fired. The groundhog never 
moved again. And from thence on we 
found no more pullets with their heads 
gnawed off. i.ko WATKINS. 
New York. 
If you went before an unprejudiced 
jury with that testimony, could you con¬ 
vict Mr. Woodchuck? We doubt it. The 
IdYc, so that lawyer for the defense could show that 
to sign his the woodchuck is u vegetarian. The 
Loss of Unrecorded Deed 
I have lost a quit claim deed which was 
not. recorded. The person who gave me 
the deed does n<J deny receiving the 
money paid, blit will not consider signing 
another; just puls it oil until some other 
time. The deed is one like several others 
on the sume property, and 1 cannot get a 
clear title with the one missing, Is there 
any way open to make this person sign 
another deed? D. H. 
New York. 
You are now paying the penalty which 
many persons have to pay for failure to 
record their deeds, Then- age probably 
many thousands of deeds in the State of 
New York at the present time which 
have not been recorded, and which are. 
I able to be destroyed by fire or lost. 
Probably your only remedy, if the per¬ 
son who has an interest in your property 
will not give you another deed, is to have 
an action brought for the purpose of de¬ 
termining your right to the property. 
This wil 1 be rather expensive to you. and 
if it is possible to get the deed without, 
it is advisable to do so. We would sug 
gesl that you have a deed drawn reciting
