OXALATE POISONING.
CAUSE OF LAMB MORTALITY. (PBBgS ASSOCIATION TILEOSAIf.) INVERCARGILL, November 14. Dr. Owen Johnston, Superintendent of the Southland Hospital, who carried out experiments for a year to ascertain the cause of mortality' in lambs, states that pulpy kidney is caused by oxalate poisoning from sorrel in the early stages of its growth. The ultimate remedy would be to eliminate sorrel from pastures. This would take a long time, but meantime farmers would require to have sufficient sorrel-free feed to carry ewes and lambs over from four to six weeks, the danger period in each year. Several farmers have related incidents which support Dr. . Johnston's theory.
