MONTANA is certain to have a great
stock boom this season. Those who
shipped young stock into the territory
last year from the eastern states, will, by
reason of the exceedingly mild winter,
realize a big per cent. on the investment,
and their experience will<prompt others
to do likewise. There are already great
herds of cattle being driven from the
south this way and with the opening Of
spring the shipment of young stock
from the states to the ranges of Montana
will be resumed upon a more extensive
scale eve than last year. The sheep
interests will keep fully abreast of the
cattle. if not a few PAGES in advance, and
thousands of head will be driven into
the territory from California and
Oregon. Quite a number of persons
from this section of the territory will in
vest largely in pilgrim sheep this year
and from the indications we would Judge
there will be ten times the number driv-
Ell into Montana during this season that
there was last. The high prices of stock
of all kinds will not deter investment,
as even at present prices the business is
found quite profitable. If the great res
ervation north of the Marias and Milk
river country is opened to settlement it
will give impetus to the boom and
1884 will be a red letter stock year for
Montana.

ing OF farming of any description are
requested to cut out this petition, secure
the signatures of their friends and neigh
bors, and forward the same to A. Ell.
Craig, Caldwell, Wis, who will see that
it is sent to congress, trusting thereby
that the grievances may be investigated
II the request granted.
MI. Craig further writes: "To open
our ports for a free competition will vir-
tually destroy the wool growing interest
n bring disaster Upon thousands OF
farmers. There is no use of talking, we
cannot compete with Australian and
South American wool. Their advan-
tages of climate, circumstances and cap
ital prove the unequal contest, and to
destroy our protection must place us at
the mercy of foreign productions. Think
of one Australian ranch 700 miles long
stocked with $500, 900 sheep, and owned
by n man. Then add to this thousands
of others of less magnitude, with un-
limited range, no necessary provisions
for winter, and you behold the advan-
tages of the great rivals to American
wool producers.
"You who are not interested in the
rearing of sheep must bear in mind that
farmers must live, that the prosperity
of the country depends upon their sue
cess. If they thrive all business is
carried with it. If they stagger the
world feels the shock. IT wool raising
is not remunerative, then these 800, 900
producers must become your competitors;
they must produce your products, and
your profits must be divided with them.
Are you willing to thus periodically
face the music that must follow if the
tariff IN wool is removed? If not you
are earnestly requested to consider the
whole question in all it's bearings, and
lend your assistance in our humble effort
to prevent any further disaster than
what has already been accomplished.
If you do not have the time or incli-
nation to forward a long list of petition
ers, send what you can, if no more than
your own Or a postal card. The whole
correspondence will be forwarded to
Washington and placed in hands com
petent to present and advocate for our
mutual benefits. Please send your list

them by that time"

Interesting to Sheep Men.

Mr.. A. Ell. Craig, secretary OF the
American Merino Sheep Register, writes
under date OF January 9Th from Cald-
well, Wis, requesting US to publish the
following:
A PETITION TO CONGRESS.
TO Senator'S and Members Of Congress:
The wisdom of the last congress,
prompted by the recommendation Of the
tariff commission, removed the aid val
orem duty On foreign woods. By so do
ing q great and manifest injustice has
been done the wool grower and the agri-
culturist generally. The tariff act of
1867 gives to wool the only protection it
had, and is the only law worthy of your
consideration that gives any protection
to n agricultural interest. We do
assure you that under the present law
such losses are incurred that wool grow
ing ceases to be remuneratIve, and we
will be compelled to abandon sheep hus-'
bandry and go into other pursuits. We
beg your careful attention to this sub
ject, and pray you to speedily restore the
tariff of '67 on foreign woods, thereby
guaranteeing to us that justice which
our prominence as American citizens
entities us to.
We thus earnestly appeal to the Forty
eighth congress to restore that which
we must have, 81 u honest toll goes
unrequited therefore we come to you
trusting that you will not fail to heed us
in our humble petition.

CATTLE.

The following Washington dispatch
of Jan. 18th will be of special interest to
many OF our readers, and particularly
stock men. There seems to be, we are
glad to report, disposition at Washing
ton to take prompt and vigorous steps to
stamp out Heterogeneous: A meet
ing of the members of the house COM
nlittee on agriculture and b dele
gates from the cattle convention ! gently
held in Chicago was held at the capital,
Jan. -. A general discussion OF con-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS among cattle was in
dulgedS in. The committee Of cattle
men, in answer to inquiries OF represen-
%tatives, said the disease existed in Della
ware, District Of Columbia, M-ryland,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Connecticut,
New York and possibly in other places.
In New York few counties We're report
ed infected. Mr.. Hunt, OF New Jersey,
said congress would appropriate an ade-
quate amount, payable to the order OF
the authorities of different states, and
protect New Jersey for six months from
the importation OF diseased cattle. The
state would, in six months, stamp out
pleuro-pneumonia in its territory. DR..
Law, OF the cattle commission, treasury
department, said the disease was IN
doubtedly the result of importation.
With plenty Of money and federal law,
it could be e~radicated in twelve months.
New York city had at one time stamped
it out in three months. He advocated
burning buildings where the disease oc-
Cured. Judge Carey, of Wyoming,
gave a history of the disease, saying it
was like Asiatic cholera, spreading
through Europe and reaching New
YorIs forty years ago. 1t existed in con
tinental Europe, Great Britain, Austria
liza, New Zealand and this country. All
hat saved the west from the disease
was a line of transportation from east to
west. Habit been otherwise, the west
ern plains would have been infected.
Once in existence there, it would spread
over the entire country, and could not
be stopped. He said $4,000 900 had
been invested in the United States.
Illinois, offered 81, 900 reward for an an
imal infected with pleuro-pneumonia,
but no one accepted. Several members
OF the cattle committee at once offered
to show the disease to any one doubling
it's existence. Representative Weller
gave notice that he would offer a bill APP
propriating $4,000 900 by the govern
ment for the suppression of contagious
diseases in cattle, 20 be distributed
among the states and territories in the
ratio OF representation in congress; pro-
vided each state would appropriate a
sum equal to the amount given by the
government.
The legislation proposed is to make
the shipment of cattle known to be dis
eased a penal o~ffense; establish a cattle
bureau Of the department of agriculture;
increase the power of the commissioner
of agriculture; provide funds for an
elaborate investigation of diseased cattle
so that they may be destroyed; an APP
preparation will be asked the first year
of $500 GOO.
