8. 300. 



9. Healthy. 



10. The first time I noticed the disease was just aPtei- veiy cold wet weather, and I 

 thought little of it till I found the disease increasing to a most alarming extent. I 

 believe every herd that is not inoculated is liable to become diseased at any time, and 

 every time the cattle are driven or knocked about. 



11. I consider if an Act was passed rendering inoculation compulsory, it would be very 

 beneficial to stock-owners generally, and the only means of exterminating the 

 disease.

10. Having had no experience in the disease called pleuro-pneumonia, and during my 

 residence here (eigliteen months) the herd having been perfectly healthy, it is impos- 

 sible for me to give you any practical replies to the questions contained herein. 



169. 



9. Healthy. 



10. I cannot give any remarks on this, as the disease did not appear on my run at all. 



11. I consider an Act would be the ruin of all cattle-owners, as it would introduce the 

 disease where it might never appear ; therefore I think it should not be passed. 



170. 



1. Cannot saj'. 



3. 300. 



4. Apparently healthy. 



5. Off and on for years. 



6. 50 per cent. 



7. About a year ago. 



8. One-third. 



9. Healthy. 



10. I would advise the following experiment to be tried :— Inoculate a perfectly healthy 

 animal (away from any diseased herd) in the most approved manner; when duly 

 under the virus, kill the beast, and note the state of the lung. 



11. My answer to the above will depend on the above-mentioned experiment. 



171. 



1. About 186.-. 



3. About 100 head. 



4. In good condition. 



5. About two years. 



6. One-fourth. 



7. 18G7. 



8. About twentv. 



9. Healthy. 



10. I have never had any cattle inoculated, nor have I had much opportunity of seemg its 

 effects, having so few cattle in this district. I think well of inoculation as a preven- 

 tive, but not otherwise. 



11. Decidedly not, especially as the district has been free from pleuro-pneumonia for the 



last two years or more. 



172. 



1. 180.5. 



3. 200. 



4. Frequent coughing, dulness, and refusing food. 



5. About eighteen months, 

 fi. Al)out 5U per cent. 



7. 1807. 



8. About twent}-. 



9. Quite sound. 



10. The only information that 1 could give upon the subject of inoculation of cattle for 

 pleuro-pneumonia, would be from hearsay. I understand that the parties in charge of 



my stations in the and — — --"districts, have or will answer these questions. 



The few cattle, say about 2()i>, that I have here, had the disease among them about 

 three years since, but we did not inoculate any of them ; I think about half of them 

 took the disease, and about 10 per cent of the whole died ; they are now all ((uite free 

 from disease. I have not yet been able to satisfy myself as to the advisablcness of 

 inoculation ; in fact I scarcely think it can he of any advantage, although some persons 

 who have had considerable ex'perience in those matters assert that not only docs inocula- 

 tion act as a preventive but as an almost instantaneous cure. 



11. I do not think it would be advisable to have such an Act passed.
