 Albuquerque (N. M Citizen.
 The above notice struck terror into the hearts of some of our sheep men. Why should it? Did not the Department exclude the sheep in New Mexico last year? This order has nothing to do with Arizona, as it is above reported. However 1t won't be aniss to be prepared for such a mandate to Arizona. Though it is little bit tough to have to think that the Government will destroy the chief industry of Northern Arizona try ing to save the forests when in fact the industry does not endanger the forests.
