A law recently passed by the Legislature to regulate the prac¬ 
tice of veterinary surgery made it necessary for the State Veter¬ 
inary Association to have a legal standing and requiring its incor¬ 
poration. 
No Bleuro-Pneumonia in Minnesota. —In reply to the report 
that a fatal disease had made its appearance among cattle in some 
portions of Minnesota, which it was feared was pleuro-pneumonia, 
Dr. Hewitt, of Red Wing, secretary of the State Board of Health, 
states that there is not a case of this disease in the State, and he 
does not understand how such a rumor was started. 
Quite Apropos. —Doctor’s office, St. Louis. Enter a lady 
with a sick dog. “ My dear Dr.-, you must not be angry with 
me, but won’t you please cut off this tumor on poor Fannie’s 
flank? ” “ Well madam, I would do anything to oblige you, but 
this is a little out of my line. Why don’t you take your dog to 
a veterinary surgeon?” u But, doctor, those veterinaries are so 
expensive. I supposed you could do it just as well.”— St. Louis 
Republican. 
A Colt with Three Eyes. —We doubt if the colt below de¬ 
scribed could open its three eyes much wider than the one who 
reads his description, as given in the Prescott Hoof and Horn : 
Col. Chas. W. Beach is the owner of a two-weeks-old colt, foaled 
from a fine brood mare, the sire being an imported Percheron. 
Its peculiar features are three eyes, two of which occupy the usual 
locality in the head, while the third is placed midway between 
them. The eyes are all endowed with vision, and the only appar¬ 
ent difference between them is that the middle one is much the 
largest, while the other two are of normal size. Each eye is in 
possession of an upper and lower eyelid, delicately fringed with 
eyelashes, but while the two in the customary locality diminish 
gradually towards the outer edges of the head, the lids belonging 
to the middle eye look, when closed, like the segments of a circle.
