THE DOG PLAGUE. 
Geouoe Sntdeh, Rhinebeck, N. Y., writes us 
bitter complaints against what he appropriately 
terms the “ dog plague.” He says lie has had 
bis tlocks four times destroyed by worthless 
curs; that lie has received “little pay” for 
them; that the dog tax is not “ collected in 
many cases” in his (Dutchess) county; that it 
ought to he raised to three or five dollars per 
head ; that there are many thousand acres in the 
county that would be worth twice as much lor

erable nuisance; that if a dog is shot when 
“ seen among the sheep,” he must he paid for,

A BUREAU OF WOOL 8TATI8TI0S. 
Samuel Archer, Ksq., of Holliday’s (Jove, 
West Vu., one of the most enterprising and suc¬ 
cessful Merino breeders and improvers of that 
State, writes us ns follows: 
" 1 have been thinking for sometime whether there 
is any way to gather facts and information relative to 
the woo) and woolen business and disseminate them 
among the wool growers. Wool growers need Infor-

ers’ Associations ure n powerful means to this cud. 
Cun we not make them more efficient yet I Could 
not you or some other tit person, appointed by you or 
by the Executive Committee of the N W. G. Asso¬ 
ciation, learn and report everything possible respect¬ 
ing the production, manufacture anil consumption of 
wool this past year,-all about the market, why it is

store iu the east or elsewhere, at what prices, condi- 
Rochester. N. Y., and the pedigrees are to he forward¬ 
ed directly to the editor of this Department, Cort¬ 
land Village, N. Y., together with a statement of the 
time when the cuts were forwarded to Mr. Moore. 
Errors— In an article on Mr. John D. Wing’s Ma¬ 
ple Shade flock of Cotswolds in this paper, August 
10th, it was stated that the sheep were imported in 
ItCft'lfilW, and 1SV7. It should have read 1885, 1866, 
and 1867. Accompanying the cut of Mr. Hammond'? 
ram “ Green Mountain,” published Aug. 8d, we said 
he stood at 1100 per ewe in 1806, and would stand at 
the same price this year. He stood at *50 last year, 
nnd will stand at $100 this. During Mr. Moore’s 111- 
ness typographical errors have recently occurred in 
our editorials-affecting their meaning in some in¬ 
stances—hut we have ventured to hope that, our read¬ 
ers wonld set them right without any formal cor 
recti on. __
