Weils of Privateer lost tw<? horses; last week from sickness that resembled blind staggers, but a veterinary surgeon who was called to fsee the >h'i< horses said thai the sick j ness was caused hy poison from bftd teed. Mr. Wells had been feeding on some hay cut from his cotton Held be? t?re Hist frost; hut which had been used before being thoroughly cured? in a wilted condition. The veterinary surgeon thought that the poison may have been more likely from cotton t::1ks and preen forms and bolls that hid deeeyed and become mouldy la the partly cured hay, than from tho hay Itself, The attention of farmers is nailed to the above as a caution to them to be careful in the feed given to stock.
