Poisoned Horses and Mules

A strange case of poisoning occurred near Chico, California. Twelve horses and mules were poisoned by eating moldy clover. It seemed to have driven them insane; and all of them were shot except one, which was kept for experimental purposes. The poison was eaten in the field, before the clover had been cut in one case, and in another case after it had been cut and stacked. It was supposed that the mold on the clover lying close to the ground caused it.
