BinckieE Among Cattle

Pete Marker. the well known lumber,
ransh and cattle man OF Washoe County
and elsewhere in tho western part Of
the State. says that the peculiar new
disease among cattle. generally known
as backlog. is more destructive than
mos! people are aware Of. He says the
disease is confined almost exclusively
to young calves, aud strange to say those
in good condition; a poor, half s'atred
calf seldom. il ever. takes the disease,
and never dies OF il. Mr.. Marker lost
over COZ head OF yourg calves on his
Humboldt ranch last Winter, and all
with this disease. He snys tho dis.
ease fast made its appearance among the
cattle at Stein Mountain. in tho north.
ern portion Of Humboldt County, aud is
slowly travelling toward the southwest.
There seems to bs no cure for the dis
ease, or any means of preventing its
