12. About five head in the first lot of 300 died. These were more swelled a good deal, but 



by bathing with warm water and well scarifying, they were saved. I had none swell 

 very badly after tlie first I did. 



13. There was no disease a month after the cattle were inoculated. There was another 



brand of cattle on at tlie time I inoculated the first cattle ; and the disease 



left tlie whole herd in about six weeks. 



14. I had a milking cow take the disease and recover — that is, she got very nearly fat, then 

 took the disease and died. I have seen no cattle after being properly inoculated again 

 take the disease. Tlie lot of cattle (;3oO) were store cattle ; they had the disease 

 when bought. About a dozen of them (half of those sick) died. I inoculated them all. 

 There were two head got over the crush without being done. One of them took the 

 disease and died. Not one of those inoculated again had the disease, for I kept them in 

 hand for two months after. That is tlie best proof I have had, except a case at . 



lo. No. In the first place, knocking the whole herd about, when the disease is in them, 

 docs more harm than the present disease. We have often Cumberland disease at the 

 same time, and it is very dangerous. I would advise all persons to inoculate, if they 

 have cattle on hand, and are sure that it is only plcuro-pneumonia.

1. September 2/), 1804, and in July 6, 18fi5. My cattle on this farm were inoculated thi-ee 

 times. I think the first two times the virus was bad. 



3. 114 head. 



4. Were diseased about 15 per cent. Those looked dull about the ej'es that were diseased 



and made to run began to cough. A few died, and those we found very bad, killed 

 and burnt. 



5. About four or five months, and before it was stayed, nine months. 



12. None of my cattle. 



13. All those that were not affected did not take the disease. 



It. From what I have heard and seen the inoculated cattle did not take the disease. My 

 cattle were at times exposed from diseased travelling the road, and I do not re- 

 member hearing of any being aff'ected by it. A great many cattle on different parts 

 of my propert}', the cattle of tenants, and of my own on another part of my property, 

 and none of them were inoculated, and none of them took the disease. I purchased 



a few head of cattle in that proved after to have the disease, but were kept 



apart by themselves, and were killed and burnt. None of my other cattle took the 

 disease. 



15. I think so, should the disease make its appearance again. 



253. 



1. 1865. 



3. About 150. 



4. Disposed for disease. 4 per cent. 



5. About a fortniglit. 



12. See No. 10. In some cases tried opening the swelled parts, but with no beneficial 

 effects. 



13. Out of the number inoculated about fifty died. 



1 4. There has been no disease in this part since. My experience would be that inoculation 

 was not of any use when the disease had once taken hold of the animal, but may act 

 as a preventive. 



15. I don't consider it would be of any service to inoculate the cattle if once diseased. 



254. 



1. Spring of year 1S64. 



3. 600. 



4. Numbers diseased. 



5. Two months. 



12. None. 



13. The disease seemed to be stopped soon after the inociilation. 



14. The cattle were exposed to infection after inoculation, but did not take the disease 



again. 



15. 1 liave not sufficient faith in inoculation. The disease seems to wear itself out, and 

 the more the herd is driven together the more die ; if let alone and kept wider apart 

 fewer die. 



255. 



1. 1862. 



3. 1,000. 



4. One-fourth of lierd diseased. 



5. Inoculated as saon as possible after detection of disease.
