believed to be useful. The calves should be changed fre- 

 quently to fresh pasture, should be comfortably housed at 

 nights, and should be well fed. 



The Irish Department of Agriculture recommends the

 twice daily to each affected calf 1^- tablespoonfuls of a mix- 

 ture composed of 1 drachm of oil of cloves, 3 oz. spirits of 

 turpentine, and 24 oz. of linseed oil. A more drastic method of 

 curing the disease by means of intertracheal injections is some- 

 times adopted ; this, however, is a delicate operation, and 

 should only be undertaken by a qualified veterinary surgeon. 



The Board of Agriculture and Fisheries have made an 



Order, under the Diseases of Animals Acts, 1894 to 1903, which 



is to come into operation on the 23rd of 



Movement of January, 1905, regulating the landing in 



Swine from Great Britain of swine brought from Ireland.
