That in many cases in the above table certain features are 
put down as u not stated ” is in large measure accounted for by 
the fact that only no of the reports were made on the blanks 
which I sent to the practitioners, the rest being made in the 
form of a brief summary in a letter. Of these reports made on 
the blanks only a few gave in detail all of the particulars called 
for by the questions. I infer, however, that the features set 
forth in the table may be taken as a fair representation of all 
the cases treated. 
The table shows that most of the cows affected were grades. 
I may add that most of these were shorthorn grades. Next in 
point of numbers is the shorthorn breed. It should not be in¬ 
ferred from this that the shorthorn breed is more susceptible, 
for it is probable that the order of numbers affected among the 
various breeds is in close proportion with the number of cows 
of these breeds in the State.
