Encouragement.— The salary of the Chief of the Bureau of 
Animal Industry has been raised to $3,500—mighty little for the 
work done. 
Territorial Veterinarian of Montana.— Governor Hauser, 
of Montana has sent to the council the nomination of Dr. Hollo¬ 
way to be Territorial Veterinarian, vice Dr. Keefer. 
Might be Practiced in the United States. —The veterinary 
editor of the North British Agriculturist expresses his belief that 
the experiments sometime since undertaken at Shropshire, with a 
view of testing the value of inoculation as a preventive of quarter- 
ill, have proved successful. A number of the inoculated animals 
were recently re-inoculated with the virus from a calf just dead 
of the natural disease, and none of them were affected by it in 
the slightest degree. At the same time three other calves, not 
previously operated upon, were inoculated with the same virus, 
and all of them developed the disease, two of them dying within 
forty-eight hours. The disease is a great scourge to young cattle 
in this country, and if the system of inoculation can be so per¬ 
fected as to be safe of application in the hands of general farmers, 
and proves to be as efficacious as these experiments and some 
others reported from France would seem to indicate, it will be a 
great boon to cattle-growers.
