mistake. 
According to the Breeders' Gazette , “ Dr. M. B. Knowles,, 
formerly State veterinarian of Indiana, and for several years in 
charge of the veterinary and sanitary work on the immense Bit¬ 
ter Root Stock Farm of Marcus Daly, Hamilton, Mont., has re¬ 
signed his position with the ‘ Copper King.’ He will continue 
his residence at Hamilton for the present. Dr. Knowles has 
wrought a great work at Bitter Root Farm. Abortion had com¬ 
pletely stopped progress in the breeding of runners and. trotters, 
and Mr. Daly was fairly in despair in the face of this insidious 
foe, when the reputation Dr. Knowles had acquired in the treat¬ 
ment of barren mares ixom Kentucky to California reached him, 
and the services of this gifted and thoroughly educated veteri¬ 
narian were taken from the State of Indiana and utilized at Bitter 
Root Farm. We have before related fhe complete success of the 
measures instituted by Dr. Knowles to combat the plague on 
that farm, and he resigns his work there with an unequalled re¬ 
cord. Among the other valuable services Dr. Knowles has 
rendered at Bitter Root was the saving of the life of Tammany 
when all had given up hope.”
