BLACKLEG VACCINE READY Distribution Begun to Cattle Grazers in National Forests. LEWISTOX, Idaho. Jan. 9. (Special.) It has been brought to the attention of persons who graze cattle In the National forests that blackleg vaccine is now being supplied free by the United States Government to those who have cattle grazing permits. The disease is confined principally to animals between the ages of six and 18 months, comparatively few being at tacked after they are a year and a half old. Calves vaccinated before they are six months old are not rendered Im mune for more than a few months, and must be revaccinated. Vaccination, however, is not a cure for animals already infected with the disease. The disease appears to be most prevalent during the Fall months. "Huckleberry Finn" to Be Staged.
