Defeat Goderich 8-3. On Home Diamond n After a rather unsuccessful be- ginning this season the local ball team finally chalked up thein" first win et the season last Friday night, when they defeated the .Goderich club 8-3. This was the locals' first win in five starts, including four league games and an exhibition g g s n game. Their downfall has been mainly due to errors _ in the infield, but s showed 'some improvement ro•.emen this wd o ear v t 'p in the Gode ich game, and together With nice pitching by Carrick, they showed something of the baseball ability that won them a champion- ship last year—plenty of room for improvement yet. The game featured two home runs. by the locals, Glew and Wagg con- necting for the circuit blows, Three runs in the first started the locals on the roa • t victory and theyadded d a ry five more during the remainder of the game. We hope this game is an indication of what is going to happen in the future: The Luoknow club is sched- uled for here tonight, providing the diamond is' in any land off playing condition. If the rain continues en into the afternoon a game will be impossible. ., Clinton plays in Kincardine on Saturday and again in Goderich next Tuesday.

Ellis of the Base Line had the misfortune last week to lose three head of cattle which were on pasture. Dr. Evans said it was vegetable poison but the source a was. mystery a in- vestigation an d u vestigation svns made. Mr. Tan Mac- Leod, Agricultural Representative, took with him Mr, T. H. Livingston, who has a considerable knowledge of weeds and plants, and they discover- ed what Moe Livingston said were specimens of water hemlock growing near the river. A sample was sent away for identification and word was received that this was the cases There is no doubt that this was the cause of the death of the cattle and may have, been the cause'of other deaths in cattle herds last summer. A. specimen of the plant as on exhibi- tion in the window of the Agricul- tural offices so that any cattleman who wishes to :become familiar with this deadly weed may see it. Water hemilook and poison hem- lock, there is a slight difference, are deadly poison to man and beast, and there seems to be no known antidote. Wlhen cattle eat it they seem to he doomed. It, or some allied plant, was no doubt used to make the fatal draughti which the ancient 'Socrates drank: in the long ago, when its'poi- sonous nature was as well known as today. Water Hemlock or spotted. Cow bane isa strong growing plant from 2 t 4 feet high, pale green, hollow stems, which join into one main stent that shades into purple and h mature Plants the rte is as thick as s a man' wrist s vast. Tho rootsas •e like small parsnips and deadly poison. There may be considerable of this. plant along the river banks and far- mers would do well to search it out. It appears that some years ' ago the late John Ranaford - lost same cattle from poisoning and the inference now is that this was the source, al- though not ,suspected at the time. Mr. Ellis is fencing off the part of the pasture which is infested, but others would need to be looking to their .premises and if the weed can be eradicated entirely it would he in theinterests of all concerned to have it done.
