9. In good healthy state. 

 11. Yes, I do. 



1. In 1864. 



3. 1,000 head. 



4. In fair condition. 



5. About three weeks. 



6. Three to the 100. 



7. In IBG-i. 



8. One to 100. 



9. Healthy ; no disease. 

 11. No.

3. About 500 head. 

 9. Healthy. 



10. Respecting inoculated cattle, my experience has been very small. Two years since, when 



the pleuro was at its height in this neighbourhood, I had only thirty milking cows, with 

 their increase ; a neighbour inoculated them (they had previously shown no symptoms 

 of disease), and, except a slight swelling on the tail (of some few of them), and being 

 tucked up (as if the system were out of order, so to speak) for a few days, you could 



discern nothing the matter with them. We have now 500 head more, bought from 



in January last ; I don't know if ever they were inoculated ; we have lost none from 

 pleuro that I am aware of. My opinion is, that it is an epidemic, and not contagious. 



11. My impression is, that when a number of cattle in a herd die from the pleuro, that it 

 is too late to inoculate, and only increases the number of deaths, so think such an Act 

 quite unnecessary.

10. In reply to your circular, I beg to say I am not the owner of 200 head of cattle ; I only 

 keep a few cows and a working bullock, they being free from pleuro-pneumonia. I have 

 never had any experience with diseased cattle, so I cannot venture to express an opinion 

 as to whether an Act should be passed obhging owners whose cattle are infected to 

 inoculate them. 



75. 



3. Eighty head. 

 9. Healthy. 



10. None. 



11. I think it very neccssai-y where cattle are diseased. 



76. 



1. I disremember the date. 

 3 1,000. 



4. Similar to consumption in human beings. 



5. About eighteen months. 



6. Nearly all suffered a degree. 



7. Seemed quite healthy. 



8. 250. 



9. Healthy. 



10. I do not think that after the disease shows in a herd that inoculation is a preventative. 



I firmly believe that inoculation irritates the disease. I have seen cattle die after 

 inoculation — twelve months after. 



11. I certainly do not. 



77. 



1. About Februarv, 1864. 



3. 2,000. 



4. Fair condition. 



5. Four years. 



6. Thirty. 



7. About February, 1868. 



8. About 300. 



9. Heahhy. 



10. I liave known cattle diseased twice. I have also known inoculated cattle take the 

 disease, and some of them die. I cannot give any information with respect to this 

 disease ; but I do not believe in inoculation, for the reason stated above. 



11. No.
