 146. 



3. 200. 



9. Healthy. 



10. I have no faith In inoculation. I have known more to die from inoculation than from 

 the disease. 



11. No ; but compel them to keep the diseased ones in a close paddock, or destroy them 



at once. 



147. 



1. About six or seven years ago. 



3. About 4,000 head. 



4. Fat, and in good condition. 



5. Eighteen months virulently, and occasional symptoms since that time. 



6. Very nearly all. 



7. Foiu- years back, except the aforesaid occasional symptoms. 



8. About 600. 



9. All healthy. 



11. I think that compulsory inoculation would be advisable. 



148. 



1. 18G5. 



3. About 800. 



4. Fat and poor, young and old. 



5. About eighteen months. 



6. 20 per cent. 



7. About 1866. 



8. Through rest, about 9 per cent. 



9. Healthy, and we lost less than those who did inoculate their cattle in this locality. 



10. Rest, by all means. A cow will have a calf young by her side, sucking, the cow will 

 die, the calf will live and do well ; also, reverse it, the calf will die, and the cow will 

 live and do well in many proved cases with the pleuro. 



11. No, no, not as far as pleuro-pneumonia is, for it is not infectious, which I can prove. 

 Rest on the run is the best cure for cattle in the above stat^ as with man, in pneumonia. 



149. 



1. About the year 1864. 



3. 2,000. 



4. In very good condition. 



5. jMore or less from 1864 to the pi'escnt date. I know this, as I adjoin the nin. 



6. I cannot say. 



7. I believe the disease is still in them. 



8. I should say at least 40 per cent. 



9. No cattle now on the run, they having been sold. 



10. In June, 1867, I bought from Mr. his station, ; he had to deliver me 



2,000 head — when he mustered them he could deliver me only 1,249. I am fully 

 convinced he lost many of these cattle from not inoculating them. I sold the herd last 



May to Mr. . I noticed one or two when delivered to be affected — the drought 



prevented my inoculating them. 



11. I most decidedly consider such an Act should be passed. 



150. 



1. January, 1864. 



4. They were in good condition. 



5. About twelve months. 



6 .Very few that caught the disease recovered. 



7. About December, 18G4, or January, 1865. 



8. About ir>o. 



10. I am of opinion that cattle should be inoculated before they arc infected. 



11. Yes ; if they are inoculated immediately the disease is observed. 



151. 



1. First discovered the cattle dying about the end of July, 18G3. 



3. 1,.500. I cannot say exactly the number, but they are nearly all the old stock cleared 

 off, and no inoculation since. 



4. You would tell them by their walk, and they have a rolling motion of the fore legs and 



a weakness in the shoulders. 



5. Eight months. 



6. Nearly all.
