10. I liavc found inoculation beneficial in diseased cattle, when not too far gone. 2j per 

 cent, of deaths resulting from the operation, I think a fair average. The virus should 

 be inserted in the tail, above the brush, either with a needle and worsted thread, or a 

 grooved blade of a penknife. If the virus be inserted too high up iu the tail, the 

 disease spreads to tlie back bone, and becomes fatal. Quiet well-bred cattle, in good 

 order, are more subject to the disease than others.
