14. Of tlie twelve head -wliich were siidtlenly and at the same time attacked, four recovered ; 

 and I think that if those which died had been confined in paddocks, and properly 

 attended to, that the losses by inoculation would have been comparatively small. 

 Some others in this neighbourhood who refrained from inoculation at the same time, 

 have had serious losses. I have had no losses by disease since, although my cattle 

 have been depasturing occasionally with others which were dying of disease. 



15. I consider that the owners of cattle infected should be by Law compelled to inoculate. 



142. 



1. I first inoculated in Queensland in '63, and upon Manaroo in '64. 



3. Kept no count as I made no charge. I have inoculated several thousand. 



4. I have inocidated cattle that were dying very fast, but never made account of those 



showing symptoms. 



5. I have inoculated cattle that have been dying off and on for eight mouths ; and I have 



also inocidated cattle that have never shown any symptoms. 



12. I had four or five old cows die, out of about 800 head of mixed cattle, through 

 not opening them upon the butt of the tail when the swelling went up. I opened 

 eight others which were severely swollen, and they soon recovered. Some I opened 

 upon the loins, and took out large lumps of matter. 



13. Successfid in many cases. 



14. I feel sure that cattle that are properly inoculated will not take the disease again — 



however, for a number of years — as I have had twelve head which I inoculated, among 



cattle which were not inoculated, and he lost over 200 head out of 400. 



I have shown a great many how to take the virus, and how to inoculate, and they have 

 all been sueessful. I have taken virus from a bullock that has died with the disease, 

 half an liour after he died, and the virus was perfectly good, but I only got a small 

 quantity of it. 



15. I think that an Act should be passed obliging owners of cattle that are infected to 

 inoculate wliclhcr they have been previously inoculated or not. 



143. 



1. November, 18G7. 



3. 500. 



4. Were dying diseased ; half. 



5. Thi'ce months. 



12. 5 per cent. Cutting the swollen parts, bluestono and lard mixed. 



14. None affected after being properly inoculated. 



15. I think an Act should be passed, as there are many that have not inoculated theii- herds. 



144. 



1. About 1865. 



3. About 150. 



4. In good coiulition ; but were diseased almost every one of the herd. 



5. About two or three months. 



12. None were observed ; but the tails of many fell off. 



13. Cannot say anything particular about it, in its favour or otherwise ; but believe it is of 

 little use \uiless performed by some skilful hand. 



11. What I have said in the last case applies here. It may serve, if properly applied ; but 



for my part I have very little faith in it. 

 15. Such an Act may be of service, if an experienced person were responsible for its due 

 performance. 



145. 



1. 13th August, 18G7. 



3. 1,871. 



4. On one pai-t of run, about a mile of creek ; 3 or 4 per cent. 



5. Fully twelve months in tlie spot showing disease ; most of the cattle were lost in this 



plaee ; my attention taken up inoculating those I could most conveniently miister. 



12. All from excessive swelling. I have, when first seeing the enlargement, cut the skin 



taking out a kernel the size of an egg ; the beast doing well. 



13. Very satisfactory. I sent seventy liead of cattle to paddock ; three head were not 

 inoculated and all three took pleuro, tlie others remaining in good health. I have noticed 

 those inoculated on this run alwavs in better condition.
