Excerpt from He Stock-Poisoning Plants of Mont, Vol. 26: A Preliminary Report Mr. President: I have the honor to transmit a preliminary report on the poisonous plants of the stock ranges of Montana. This report is the result of an investigation undertaken by the Department of Agriculture at the request of the State board of sheep commissioners. It has an important bearing on the stock interests of Montana and adjacent States, containing as it does not only a detailed account of the investigations and experiments, but concise summaries of symptoms, treatment, and remedies, which bring the results of the discoveries to the point of practical application by stock owners. A report of this character, which makes possible the saving of heavy annual losses to a great industry, should be widely distributed among the people who can profit by it. Under existing statute only a thousand copies could be printed by this Department, and I have the honor to recommend. therefore, that the report be transmitted to Congress, and that attention be called to the desirability of printing an edition sufficient to permit at least five thousand copies to be distributed by the Department of Agriculture.
