EXPERIMENTAL FARM, INDIAN HEAD, N.W.T. 



After completing the work at Brandon, I visited the Experimental Farm at Indian 

 Head, arriving there on the morning of July 23rd. On this farm there were 39 head 

 of cattle, three of which were calves under two months. Nine were grades and 30 pure 

 bred of the following breeds : — 



Cows. Heifers. Calves. Bulls. 



Durhams 4 2 3 2 



Holsteins 5 1 2 1 



Polled Angus (3 .. 2 2 



In this instance I had the assistance of Dr. F. Torrance, V.S., of Brandon, and Dr. 



J. Harris, V.S., of Moosomin, N.W.T. The normal temperature of each animal was 



taken twice on July 24th, excepting the three young calves which were not tested, and 



the tuberculin injected at 5 p.m. the same clay. Subsequently the temperature was 



taken at intervals of 3 hours for 18 hours, with the results shown in the appended 



table : —
