out the usual loss of one ha;f to Two
thirds, nd the stunning of the re-
mzinder for life.

ern stock to improve theirs and who
have repeatedly tried in vain, VII
offer to our state and many Others
north, a great market for improved
cattle, As it is, all ale smut out
from the vast southern country by
the ravsges of this hitherto uncon-
trollable disease. Preventative incc-
ula ion is the solution.
