a nephew of martin tait of stouffville went out to drive in his valuable herd of cattle a week ago last monday night he found three of them in a group munching some white substance that was piled in a small heap on the ground since that time two of these cows have died and the other one is barely alive the substance they were eat ing has now been identified as calcium of arsenic one of the most deadly of all poisons calcium of arsenic is not an un usual poison to be found about a farm it was only a lucky chance that saved the rest of mr taits 22 cows from death the daily grazing place of his herd is in a small field at the back of his 100acre farm and the heavy wind storm of a few weeks ago destroyed part of the snake fence that separ ates mr taits property from that of his nearest neighbor consequently the cows have been allowed to roam unmolested into the bush of the other farm and here they were found the day of the poisoning eating poison as a rule mr tait does not herd his cattle till late iu the evening but the day in question he and oliver avagg of zephyr a prospective buyer went out early to have a look at the herd when they arrived on the scene the three cows were in the other mans property and were al ready eating the poison the rest of the herd were nosing up to it and mr tait thinks that if they had ar rived five minutes later the whole flock would have been lost they drove the cows back to the stables and on the following wednes day the first cow died on monday of thib iveelc the second collapsed and the third is expected to die professor rodgers provincial analyst was sent a sample of the poison and pronounced it a strong mixture of calcium of arsenic and common salt i am quite sure the poison was put there for the cows mr tait told the reporter it was placed in three piles all about twenty yards apart and right in the path the cattle take the man who put it there must have known that cattle are fond of anything salty or he would not have mixed salt with it the only other animals that he might have wanted to poison are foxes and they will not eat salt the police have the matter in their hands now and i am sure they will get to the bottom of it the victims of this deadly poison were purchased by the farmer some six weeks ago mr tait values his loss around 175 because if the third heifer lives he declares that it will never he of any use keep on smiling you know farming is hard en ough even with good crops and de cent weather but when you start losing cattle in a manner such as this its enough to break any fellow up although i think id keep on smiling if i lose my whole herd confided mr tail have you any enemies that would do such a thing he was asked i dont think i have on e enemy in these parts and i was born and raised here although i have only a hundred acres here and twentyone head of cattle it keeps me busy probably thats because i was married last spring said the farmer as far as i am concerned im through with the matter after the veterinary had looked at the animals i sent a portion of the stuff to prof rogers in toronto his analysis only confirmed my suspic ions that it was calcium of arsenic a substnace which all farmers use for the extermination of potato bugs wo use a preparation quite often in the springtime so you see we are somewhat familiar with the stuff mr taits farm is situated on the 4th

distribution throughout the province by a shrewd and well organized system of stockselling it is enlisting in gainful partnership hundreds of thousands of interested individual supporters whilst its salesman the government is grad ually attaching institutions and municipalities as participators in the material profits under such favoring auspices the alcoholization of our population is proceeding apace and the calls of an enslaving and debasting appetite are being i inslduously wound about increasing numbers of our precious manhood and wpmanhood if we do not soon awake to the grave peril we shall find ourselves face to face with an enemy so entrenched politically and financially that generations of effort will be needed to overcome it the call for prompt and energetic action by the
