Livestock Afflictions
(Continued from page 29)
than are the parasites and diseases,
which is not so remarkable, as the
plants are not likely to be trans
ported from one part of the country
to another to any extent.
There are endless examples of this
type of zoning. A disease of sheep
known as big head or swelled head
is due to the sheep eating a plant
known as horse brush, which grows
only in the extreme southwestern
part of Montana and southward.
This plant and this disease do not
occur elsewhere in Montana.
Tall Larkspur
In Montana, cattle are poisoned by
the tali larkspur, but the low lark
spur, though somewhat poisonous,
does not kill cattle. In Wyoming
there is a third type of larkspur, also
a low-growing type, that is very
poisonous to stock, but this plant is
not found in Montana except along
the Wyoming line. In Oregon and
Washington the bracken fern is a
serious problem for cattlemen, but
this fern is found only in extreme
western Montana and is not a Mon
tana problem.
Speaking generally, very few poi
sonous plants of the east occur in
the west, those of the north do not
occur in the south, etc. Even in Mon
tana we find this to be true. A good
example is the tall larkspur, which
is strictly a plant of the mountains
and foot hills and is not found in
the plains or prairies of eastern Mon
tana.
Some of the diseases and parasites
stray from their homes and locate
elsewhere. Rocky Mountain spotted
fever, for years found only in west
ern Montana, has spread in recent
years to the middle west. There is a
disease of cattle, anaplasmosis, for
years a common and serious disease
of the south and southwest, that is
transmitted by biting fliers and ticks
and mosquitoes. This disease ap
peared first in Montana in 1946,
seemed to disappear in 1947, but has
reappeared in southeastern Montana
and northern Wyoming.
Here io Stay?
We consider it very probable that
this disease was introduced with the
extensive shipments of "Mexicans,"
the yearlings from Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas, that came in
in large numbers a couple of years
ago. It looks now as if we would
have to learn to live with anaplas
mosis and that our flies and mos
quitoes will serve as the transmit
ting agent of infection.
Some angles of this zoning of poi
