Three Angora goats, the property of Mr H, P* Barber, of Trentham, died recently from eating rhododendron. Some rhododendron bushes in flower in the garden had grown so large that it became necessary to remove a number of them and cut others back. The rubbish was placed for burning in a paddock where the goats were. They ate the leaves and were all poisoned in spite of attention from the veterinary department. Some of both rhododendrons and azaleas have been shown beyond doubt, tor be poisonous to stock.
