10. So very few of this lievd sliowod symptoms of disease that I did not deem it necessary 

 to inoculate them, and had I wished, I coukl not have done bo, for I could find but 

 very few cattle from which I could get virus, in what I consider a proper stage. 



11. Most certainly not, as an evil-disposed person could then, for the sake of niakinj; a pei-son, 



to whom he owed a grudfje, inoculate his herd, and by that means knock his ealtle about 

 and prevent their becoming fat, report that the herd was infected, and thus do him a 

 serious injiu'y.

10. To the best of my knowledge, I am glad to say that I have never seen a diseased beast, 



although I am owner of a few hundred. 



11. Yes.

8. I had not one died. 



9. Sound. 



10. I consider it expedient to inoculate if the disease is in a herd of cattle ; but I should 

 not inocidate so long as no symptoms of disease -was visible. When I inoculated I had 

 no disease in my cattle, and these I did not inoculate lived — not one died, although 

 thirty -live died out of the 125 head I did inoculate.

10. Mr. — inoculated the cattle for me ; I had about 130 head done ; the cattle 



were all turned out in the bush directly after they -were inoculated ; Mr. said 



it was the safest not to herd them ; the cattle that were aficctcd were rimniug by 

 themselves from the rest of my cattle, a very high mountain being between them, so I 

 alwavs kept them apart.

3. About 150, but they were part of the herd that was never diseased ; there were forty 



head of purchased cattle diseased but not inoculated.

10. The latter uuinoculated cattle did not belong to the proper herd, but were purchased 

 fi'om up-country drovers, aud were too wild to be treated. They, however, brought the 

 disease upon the station. The best way to perform the operation of inoculation is by 

 making two parallel incisions, on the inside, near the lower extremity of the tail; the 

 needle then will draw the cord easily through without loss of virus. 



11. I do not think that it would be judicious to pass such an Act.

 cattle, I think it is best to commence to inoculate them.
