BLACKLEG IN CATTLE. 
A correspondent of the Agricultural Gazette of New South Wales gives 
garlic as a cure for blackleg. The dewlap of the calf is opened wide enough to 
admit a “pod” of garlic, and a single stitch is made to keep it in. Mr. J. D. 
Stewart, M.R.C.V.S., veterinary surgeon to the Stock Branch, says that 
inoculation with garlic as a preventive against blackleg is practised with varied 
success. Personally he has no great faith in it, preferring to rely on vaccination 
with attenuated micro-organism of the disease, which induces a mild non-fatal 
attack of blackleg that confers immunity against the disease being acquired 
naturally.
