lation) and lasted abuot 10 days. At no time did his 

 fever reacli 104. On February 21, 1900, lie received a 

 second incKulation of 1^ cc of dcfil)rinated blood. No 

 fever followed this inoculation. After beinjjj infested 

 with ticks some time in June or July, he had a rather 

 severe attack of fever, beginninfij about August 10, when 

 his temperature ran up to 107. This period of fever 

 lastcxl three days; his temperature went up to 104-106 

 for four days. The fever checked his appetite and made 

 him lose some in weight, but rumination, digestion and 

 action of bowels were at no time completely suspended, 

 as in Admiral's case. 



August 8, 1900, just before the fever, he weighed 1015 

 pounds. 



September 1, 1900, just after the fever, he weighed 

 930 pounds. 



August 10, 1901, near close of his second summer, he 

 weighed 1450 pounds, when about 30 months old.

 blood bulls which were inoculated at the same time as 

 the three full blood heifers, was that they were not per- 

 mitted to get ticks on them early in the spring imme- 

 diately following recovery from the inoculation fever. 

 The heifers were turned out with the herd cows and be- 

 came infested with ticks early in the spring, while the 

 bulls Avere kept by themselves in small pasture lot, and 

 did not, in fact, get but few ticks on them until July, 

 when the weather w^as hot, a dangerous time for fever. 

 Another mistake was made in the second inoculation of 

 all those that did not react well to the first inoculation.
