Show SHeepmen W atch Out F or Bur Buttercup ... Sheepmen should be on the lookout for Bur Buttercup advises Clell Bagley, USU extension. veterinarian, he ent on to say 'unless' precautionary steps are taken when sheep, are allowed to feed ton, pastures where Buttercup is present there-ia possibility that, sheep could be poisoned from consuming this weed. Two years ago there were about : ' ISO ewes killed as a result of grazing' . on Bur Buttercup. This spring here has been one sheepman who has lost over 100 ewes from pasture that is infected with Bur Buttercup. : One of our eariy spring plants is the Bur Buttercup, it is not just restricted to' road sides, but also grows on sagebrush slopes, open fields and is scattered almost throughout the county in non crop land , . , areas. You probably will notice ja close mat of green plants growing. If you examine this mat closely you will find it is made up of hundreds of individual plants, with few of them being much over one inch tall.. Most of these plants will have a yellow flower that resembles a buttercup. The most distinctive features of Bur Buttercup are associated with its fruiting head. The prickly looking structure is far larger than the flower, often becoming more than one inch long and slightly less than one-hainch in diameter at maturity. The prickle head often hardens and matures very eariy in the spring, therefore control of it is very lf difficult. Roundup that can be applied in non crop land where no vegetation will be damaged from use of the spray. 2) This herbicide is a mixture of anvil). This and Dicamba can be sprayed in grassy areas which will control Bur Buttercup' and broad leaf weeds, but will not harm the grasses. One of the problems in controlling Bur Buttercup is that it starts growing very eariy and is mature by the time we realize that the Bur Buttercup is present. Most often when we get around to spraying it the burs have already started to mature and will finish maturing and will produce,, seed the next year. The USU Extension Service has made the following conclusions field observations and experimental studies. These are areas that the sheepman should heed if they , are grazing sheep in pastures that are infested with the Bur Buttercup. 1) The primary clinical signs of Bur Buttercup poisoning are weakness, depression, diarrhea, labored breathing, off feed and occasionally fever. 2) Bur Buttercup can be highly toxic to sheep, with a lethal dose getting as little as 1.1 pounds of green plant for sheep. The Saline Sun 1963 degrees of edema of the remen, hemorrhage in the left ventricle of the heart, congestion of the lungs, liver, and kidneys, and excessive fluid in the thoracic and abdominal on a normal grazing regimen or receiving some supplemental feed would seldom eat enough Bur Buttercup to be poisoned. 4) The primary postmortem findings in Bur Buttercup poisoning were varying 3) When hungry sheep are put onto range with over 50 percent Bur Buttercup forage, a lethal dose can easily be consumed in less than five hours.

Tightly wrap iceberg lettuce in aluminum foil to keep it fresh longer. 2. When flashlight batteries get weak, reverse their position for longer use. 3. Put small nails through the . teeth of a comb to hold them in position while you drive them with a hammer. Mrs. C. P. Walker, Cedar City, Utah Dear Vi: If you have a big toenail that punches holes in your hosiery, as my big toenail does, cover it with clear plastic tape. The clear tape barely shows, and this surely saves on nylons. It saves on snags also. BevBuhanan, Provo, Utah Dear Vi: I was about to cut up my favorite tablecloth for dishtowels because the floral design had faded so much. Then, one day when my little girl had her crayons out, I got an idea sand started coloring rthe faded ---, ij. flowers and leaves with the crayons When this was done, I set the colors f by pressing with a hot iron, with brown paper underneath and on top to protect the iron and ironing board cover. I have washed this tablecloth numerous times since and the colors are still bright and cheerful. Deborah Jones, Rexburg, Idaho Dear Vi: Ive heard so many ways to use bits of soap, but I like my way best of all. Save them until you have a whole bunch, then melt them in a heat, with just pan over medium-loa little water added, when melted, pour the soap into a cake pan and.let it harden, then cut it into squares. . w and you have bars of soap again. Brenda Isen, San Diego, Calif. Dear Vi: My mom has a cedar chest full of announcements, baby pictures, newspaper articles about friends and family members, and so on, but they never got looked at because it is too much trouble to go through them. Now that I am married, I am going to make a scrap book for every year. We have already completed the first year and enjoy looking through it. Mom says she sincerely wishes she had done this. She wants to get all the mountain of memories she has in her chest sorted and put in scrap books, but there never seems to be enough time to tackle such a big job. Vera Cunningham, Evanston, Wyo. Dear Vi: Our baby has outgrown his playpen and wants to crawl. Our gets frustrated when I let the baby out of the playpen because he messes up his play, knocking down building blocks, upsetting puzzles, etc. What a joy when I finally thought of this simple solution :r,Lfet the baby out of the child-anhis playpen; put the older ' in. toys A Wiser Mom Dear Vi: I have a clever hanging bakset for a trailing plant that is also a precious souvenior: our sons first football helmet. A wire coat hanger placed in holes in the side of the helmet serves as a hanger. The air holes in its top provide drainage ! holes. Its our favorite. ; Jim and Elfreda Bascon, Las Vegas, Nev.
