Subsequent Facts rcspedintj the Farm. — Eighty-one calves 
were dropped upon the farm during the year 1888, after 
!May 2-5 — the date when the last calf was attacked ; the eighty- 
one were all healthy at birth, remained healthy, and most of 
them are now upon the farm, strong and well. Cattle gene- 
rally have had a great deal more silage this winter than last ; 
at least four times as much has been used from October 1888 
to January 1889 as from October 1887 to January 1888. 
Manure from peat-moss litter has been distributed to a greater 
extent than at any former time. The brj^ony and the chamo- 
mile have not yet commenced to grow ; but when they do a 
cow or two will be tried with them. All calves dropped since 
January 1, 1889, are well. The four calves that were so ill in 
the boxes are strong and healthy now. 
In the opinion of the manager everything points to the 
manure from the fowd-house, or, failing that, to the stinking 
chamomile. "Whatever was the actual cause of the trouble, he 
thinks it was clearly traced to the hill paddock, and for this 
reason : — They had some strong calves that were getting milk 
Jjorn dead.
