 132. 



1. March, 1863. 



3. 500. 



4. 7 per cent. 



5. Ten months. 



12. 2 per cent. ; by cutting the tails off above the swelling. 



13. It stopped the disease. 



14. I believe inoculation to be a perfect cure. 



15. I believe an Act should be passed obhging o-miers of infected cattle to inoculate. 



133. 



1. 1863. 



3. 700. 



4. Diseased ; 15 per cent, or thereabout. 



5. Four months. 



12. A few died. I cannot exactly state the percentage, but I should tliink not more than 2. 



The only means tried were cutting off the tail. 



13. Most satisfactory in every respect. 



14. My cattle were exposed on all sides, but none of them were affected after inoculation. 

 The only Taluable infonnation I can give may be deduced from the above remarks. 



15. I most strenuously maintain that this Act should be passed, as, in my opinion, it is the 

 only way by which the spread of the disease can be stopped. 



134. 



1. December, 1865. 



3. 300. 



4. Cattle diseased when inoculated, about 15 per cent, showing symptoms. 



5. Six weeks. 



12. No deaths occurred from swclHngs caused by the inocidations. When the top of the 

 tail was much swollen, I cut part of the tail off and made an incision in the swollen 

 part, kept it clean, and applied blucstone a few mornings. I found this a good remedy. 



15. I cannot give an opinion respecting inoculation, mine being diseased before I inocidated 

 them. 



135. 



1. About six years since. 



3. 150 head. 



4. Badly diseased, sixty having died ; two-thirds. 



5. Six weeks. 



12. Two died from swelling. No means were employed in any way to save them. 



13. The animals inoculated ceased to die almost immediately. 



14. All the animals inoculated have been free from all disease since. Some of my neigh- 



bours who neglected to inoculate their cattle had severe loss. 



15. I strongly approve of an Act being passed, and shall do all in my power to promote it. 



136. 



1. Do not know date — about three and a half years ago. 



3. About eighty. 



5. Immediately after it broke out. 



12. I had none that died from inoculation ; I had no more trouble with them. 



13. I believe it put a stop to the disease amongst mj cattle, for I think none took it after- 



wards. 



14. There were cattle frequently amongst mine that were diseased, but mine never showed 



any signs of disease afterwards. I believe it to be a preventive, but not a cure after 

 they are affected. I believe none of mine died after they were inoculated but what 

 plainly showed it at the time, and none have been affected since that time. 



15. I tliink persons ought to be obliged to inoculate cattle when diseased. 



137. 



1. January, 1866. 



3. 3,000. 



4. About 100 per month dying ; can't say. 



5. Dying for two mouths previously.
