After Uncle Bcn's Scalp.

10 the EdltOr OF tne RECORD.
GLENCOE, N. D., March 4, 1861 be.
lieve that the present bounty on wolves
is too high for young ones. think that
about 81 so is enough for wolves under
six months old, and IS for old wolves.
believe that would induce Uncle Ben to
kill few of the old ones. He has told
me repeatedly that he saved the old ones
for the next crop-excepting nm old dog
wolf once in while. AS far as | am
concerned, l would Just as soon have the
bounty taken off entirely; for, with
only part of the wolves killed off, we
will have to herd sheep, any how.
think the reason the wolves followed
Ben home from the postoffice (as he
stated in his letter 10 the Record) was be
cause he had caught the young wolves
and Was carrying them home to catch the
50 bounty from the county. He says that
when the wolves followed him home from
the postotfice he went to work and killed
80 of them. Now, think 1856 is pretty
good for one days work. That must
have been the lot he had penned up wait
ing for the county bounty to take effect.
l heard he had d lot pcnned up, but did
not think there were so many. Iwould
like to see some one else send his opinion
to the Record concerning this wolf
bounty business.
Respectfully, G. P. GILMAN.

Cattle and sheep Diseases.

State Veterinarian r. H. Treacy came
up from Steele yesterday, says the Bis
marck Tribune, and went out to GLASS;
cock to look after some cases of braxy, a
disease similar to blackleg IN cattle
One sheep-owner reports having lost
fourteen animals from the disease in four
days, and DR.. Treacy will take steps to
prevent the further spread of the trouble.
The doctor also reports less trouble from
blackleg among cattle now than earlier
in the winter, but he looks for recur-
renee of the trouble to some extent in the
spring, when the thaw comes and the
germs of the disease are spread. He is
desirous, however, of bringing all stock
owners to see the advantage of having
their cattle vaccinated as precautionary
measure. The operation Of vaccination
for blackleg has proven successful in
many states where it has been employed.
The virus used is prepared from the tis-
sues of animals that have died from the
disease, and each animal is inoculated
twice in the course of SIX days, the inoc-
ulation being as effective in preventing
the disease as the vaccination of human
beings is against smallpox
