The temperature of each cow was taken at the same hour three times 

 per week. In the following table these temperatures are arranged 

 in order.

The pregnant cows were watched for signs of abortion, but none 

 appeared. 



Their milk yield was regular and constant, in the case of the cows 

 giving milk, and no indication was given of any variation in this respect 

 from normal conditions. 



On the very last day of the experiment, five pounds of the corn smut 

 were given in the morning and six pounds at night to Materna and Milla.
