Who Will Work These Ohio Farms? 
(Continued from page 797) 
making expensive home decorations and 
automobile accessories. When a farmer 
shrinks his production more than half 
and makes it up by going into a shop and 
working at 90c an hour, somebody is pay¬ 
ing his excess wages. 
Summit County is not alone in this con¬ 
dition. Farmers 10 to 20 miles from 
Youngstown are going into town daily, 
either by electric line or auto bus. and 
working at enormous wages at the rolling 
mills. A man who can make from $12 to 
$27 a day in an iron foundry is not going 
to have an aesthetic heart failure because 
his farm is producing an excess crop of 
wffds'. 
If we look into this matter deeply we 
will find that we have wandered far afield 
in the matter "f education. Twenty years 
ago our teachers were tin* pioneer "30- 
hours-a-week workers.” Not only this, 
but they worked only nine months, and 
took the three most lovely and productive 
months of the temperate zone for a vaca¬ 
tions. Children were taught nothing 
about the value of garden food, either veg¬ 
etable or pomaceous. If they appreciated 
the beauty of nature’s spontaneous pro¬ 
ductions they were not helped, but rather 
discouraged. The result is that we have 
a race of workers who neither know nor 
appreciate llic readiness of Mother Earth 
to lend a helping hand and become a 
oilent partner in the matter of getting a 
subsistence. i- n. pierce.

Laurel Poisoning 
Personally I have had no experience 
with mountain laurel, as it is not a na¬ 
tive of this section, and I fear that a 
had ease if hopeless. However, I have 
it upon the best of authority that the 
following remedies may be used : First, 
give Vi lb. Epsom salts, dissolved in one 
pint of hot water. Follow up with 5 to 
15-grain doses of permanganate of potas¬ 
sium dissolved in four ounces of hot 
water. Also give stimulants like aro¬ 
matic spirits of ammonia, one to two tea- 
spoonfuls in four ounces of water. Ad¬ 
minister such doses alternately, every one 
to two hours, depending upon severity 
of symptoms. The bettor method for 
G. S. Vaughan is to eradicate tin* laurel 
from the goat pasture, if possible. 
M. G. s. 
There are two kinds of laurel in Con¬ 
necticut, the high bush or shrub. Kalinin, 
so much sought after by our city visitors, i 
called calico brush sometimes, and the j 
low lambkill. not usually more than one j 
foot high and often much less. Cattle eat 
the high bush if turned out too early in j 
Spring, before grass is started. Many J 
times as a child have I stood by as father 
and mother hustled to melt lard to pour 
down the animals’ throats from a long¬ 
necked bottle, a pint at least. If causes 
vomiting. If they throw up much green 
stuff they usually live, but if eaten too 
long before treatment only the lard will 
come and the animal will die. A green 
froth usually shows on lips if they have 
eaten it. A very little is fatal. The low 
plant has most beautiful rose-colored blos¬ 
soms. and grows in thick patches, similar 
to huckleberry bushes, in our pastures. 
It is eaten by lambs when first turned 
out. and they will eat it greedily. Warm 
milk will cure a young lamb. They re¬ 
fuse to suckle as soon as ill. so it must 
be poured down. Any animal made ill 
by it and recovered will seldom touch it 
again. It is safe to turn old sheep, if 
used to it. in a pasture containing it. but 
young lambs invariably eat it. Do not 
turn out cattle or sheep in pasture where 
this death plant grows until grass has 
started, so they will not be tempted by it. 
As a remedy, olive oil. lard. or. I suppose, 
anything that will* cause vomiting is good. 
Warm milk for young animals will do. 
I have cured them when so stupid they 
made no resistance to anything, but the 
sooner the remedy is given, the better 
chance of recovery. Pour it down with a 
cup. anything handy, putting thumb in¬ 
side of mouth to keep it a little open, and 
holding head up a little. Do not hold 
head any higher than necessary, as the 
remedy, if poured too fast, will choke 
them. I believe many animals are 
choked in the nervous haste of amateur 
dosing. Keep remedies on hand, hurry 
to get them, but make haste slowly when 
administering them. When giving oil, do 
n<>t bo afraid to give a large quantity. | 
it will do no harm, and a full-grown 
annual must have a pint or more.

On page 3S4 H. W. Inquires if sheep 
laurel is injurious to cattle. I would 
say from experience that either sheep 
laurel or the large laurel commonly 
Known as Rhododendron is injurious tc 
cattle, and if they are allowed to eat it 
much it will cause death. Cattle that 
are well fed will not eat in quantities 
ic injure them. I have seen oxen and 
orses take a mouthful when working in 
the woods with no had effect. 1 lost
