REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 61 



Small tubercles were found in considerable numbers on the outer surface of both large 

 and small intestines. 



17. Holland Prince, Holstein bull, 3 years. — Lungs and other organs healthy. 

 Some small tubercles were found in one of the thoracic glands and two others were 

 packed solid with calcareous tubercle. 



19. Violet, Galloway cow, 8 years. — A large part of one lung was found filled 

 with semi-solid tuberculous matter, the other lung was free from disease. Several of 

 the thoracic glands were also filled with solidified and calcareous tubercle. 



20. Hannah B, Galloway cow, 6 years. — Lungs healthy, gland behind pharynx 

 partly filled with calcareous tubercle. In the liver a small cavity was found about one 

 inch in diameter filled with soft tubercle, some small tubercles were also found on the 

 surface of the spleen. 



21. Juno, Galloway heifer, 2 years. — Tubercle was found in several places in 

 the substance of the lungs. The thoracic glands were enlarged and filled with tuber- 

 culous matter, some of it was of a soft solid consistence, some calcareous. 



22. Chester, Galloway bull, 7 years. — In one lung was found a mass of tubercle 

 about the size of a hen's egg, also a tubercular abscess about same size near the base, 

 the other lung was free from tubercle. The thoracic glands were partly filled with 

 solidified tubercle. Some tuberculous masses were found in the rectum and other larger 

 masses lodged in fat surrounding the third stomach and also in fatty matter among the 

 intestines. 



23. Hereford heifer, 1 year. — Only one small tubercle was found in the substance 

 of the lungs, but small tubercles were scattered over the entire inner surface of the 

 thorax. The thyroid glands were enlarged and filled with soft tubercle ; surface of 

 intestines dotted with small tubercles. 



24. Hereford bull, 2 years. — One lung had a mass of tubercle just below the sur 

 face near the tip, the other lung was healthy. There was a slight grapy deposit on the 

 lining of the thorax, and the thoracic glands were partly filled with solidified and calca- 

 reous tubercle. 



25. Grade steer, 2 years. — In one lung there was a mass of tubercle near the tip, 

 otherwise the substance of the lungs was healthy, the surface of the thoracic cavity was 

 dotted with grapy tubercle, and the thoracic glands were enlarged and filled with 

 turbercle, partly of a cheesy consistence and partly calcareous. Small tubercles were 

 also found on the surface of the spleen. 



26. Lily, grade cow, age unknown. — A large mass of tubercle was found in one 

 lung near the tip, the other lung was healthy, the thoracic glands were enlarged and 

 filled with soft solidified tuberculous matter ; large grape-like masses of tubercle 

 were attached to the inner lining of the thorax, and a large tumour was found attached 

 to the lower side of the diaphram, enclosing soft tuberculous matter. 



Of the 21 animals destroyed 19 were pure bred, and 2 were grades. Nine of these 

 were bred in Manitoba and twelve came from Ontario. The course adopted in this in- 

 stance and subsequently followed at the other branch farms was to bury the animals 

 about six feet below the surface, and scatter lime freely over the bodies before filling 

 the hole. 



The following instructions were left in each case regarding the cleansing and dis- 

 infecting of the buildings : — 



Remove the remaining cattle and clean the buildings thoroughly, sweeping walls, 

 woodwork and ceiling. When dry, spray thoroughly the whole surface, floors, wood- 

 work of divisions, walls and ceiling with the following disinfecting solution : 



1 lb. corrosive sublimate (corrosive chloride of mercury). 



\ lb. chloride of ammonium (muriate of ammonia), dissolved in a 40 gallon barrel 

 of water. 



Repeat the spraying after two days, then whitewash the whole of the woodwork, 

 walls and ceiling with lime-wash containing glue or sugar to prevent it from rubbing off 

 and coat with hot coal tar the floors of the stalls and the sides of the divisions for about 

 one foot above the base.
