 136. 



1. June, 1864. 



3. 3,500. 



4. When driving the herd to a camp, some would refuse to drive — they seemed to suffer 



greatly through difficulty of breathing. 



5. It has been in the herd more or less since. 



6. All suffering more or less. 



7. It has never finally left the herd. 



8. About 5 per cent. 



9. I notice a few slightly affected. 



10. I believe that if cattle are allowed to lie quietly, when the disease is in them, there will 

 be less deaths than when inoculated ; there is not the least doubt that the disease goes 

 thi-ough the cattle yearly. 



11. No. 



137. 



I. Foiu" years ago my working bullocks and milkers caught the disease from another team 



of workers. I lost three workers and ten milkers. The disease did not spread to the 



herd. Two years ago the disease came up the , to my herd. I lost a few beasts, 



but the disease was never violent or general. This last year I have lost a few cattle, 

 but the disease has now entirely disappeared. 



3. 800. 



4. Generally healthy. 



5. About three months. 



6. One in 200. 



7. Four months. 



8. About fifty altogether ; but I miss about 200 altogether, but I have every reason to 

 believe, from information received, that about 150 head have been stolen. 



9. Very healthy. 



10. The losses in my herd have never been severe from pleuro-pneumonia — they have had it 

 in a mild form. I found bleeding in the first stage sufficient for cm'e. Had the hei'd 

 been attacked severely I should certainly have inoculated them. Much greater losses 

 are sustained by the constant cattle-stealing carried on, and the difficulty in 

 suppressing it. 



II. No. Every one has the remedy in his own hands; and his own interest will induce 

 him to adopt it, particularly as inoculation is now better imderstood than it Avas at 

 first ; from using improper virus that is taken from a beast too far gone greater injury 

 was done than if inoculation had not been adopted. 



138. 



1. About March, 1865. 



3. About 250. 



4. 150 poor store cattle. The others chiefly calves in good condition. 



5. From twelve to eighteen months. 



6. Of the store cattle 80 or 90 per cent. ; of the others about 20 per cent. 



7. Some time in 1866. 



8. Of the store cattle about 100, of the others abovit fifteen. 



9. Perfectly healthy — no sign of disease. 



10. Not having kept any record or notes of the inoculation, except the supposed number 

 of deaths from disease dm-uig the year, the above answers arc given to the best of 

 my knowledge. 



11. No, I rather think it is too late for inoculation when the disease has made its appearance 



in a herd. 



139. 



10. Since 1863 no breeding cattle have been kept on t]ic . Store cattle are bought 



and put on tlie place to fatten. From 500 to 650 is genei'ally the number on the estate. 

 With a few exceptions, hardly a beast remains on the place over ten mouths. From 

 July, ] S63, to July, 1864, 150 died of the disease ; in 1865, seventeen ; after that only 

 an odd one here and there.

5. Over two years. 



6. 5 pi r cent.
