68 EXPEBIMENTAL FARMS. 



of 145 degrees above her average normal and the condition of the organs on post-mor- 

 tem justified this action. The case of Jennie No. 10, an Ayreshire cow, was suspicious 

 but her temperature varied considerably at different times during the test, which, at the 

 highest, was but nine-tenths of a degree above the highest normal. As there were other 

 reasons which might account for these fluctuations in her case, she has been left over 

 for a second test. 



Of the ten animals destroyed five were grades and five pure bred. One of the 

 pure bred animals was sent from Ontario, one was purchased in New Brunswick, and 

 of the remainder, including the grades, some were raised at the Nappan farm and the 

 others bought from farmers in Nova Scotia. 



EXPERIMENTAL FARM, AGASSIZ. 



On the 13th of September, 1894, I arrived at Agassiz, B. C, and proceeded to test 

 the cattle there, which numbered 18 head, 2 of which were grade animals and 16 pure 

 bred. The pure bred animals consisted of the following breeds. 



Cows. Heifers. Calves. Bulls. 



Durhams 2 2 — 1 



Ayrshire* 2 2 1 2 



Holsteins 2 — — 2 



The preliminary tests of normal temperature were completed on the morning of 

 September 14th, and the tuberculin injected at 1 p.m. on the same day. The tempera- 

 ture was subsequently taken every 3 hours for 21 hours with the results given in the 

 appended table.
