PLEURO, RINDERPEST, OR PLAGUE.
TO THE EDITOR. >Sik, — Of these three diseases which our cattle are subject to one is in our midst, which "many say is pleuro many say is not pleuro. From a statement I see in the paper holding forth Mr Naclen's experience and degrees obtained, he must be an authority. Sir, I question if Mr Naden, or any other V.S. in New Zealand, can discern the disease in its first stage from a simple inspection. Now, Mr Editor, I will place £10 in your hands as a challenge to either Mr Naden or Mr Runciman that neither of them can tell either a scabby sheep or a pleuro bullock by the eye, and that I will tell either. With regard to inoculation, the last joint in the tail is the proper place to operate, and the v'mtt> is of no more use than water if there is the least sign of blood. It makes no difference, heifer or bullock, bull or cow, that the virus is obtained from ; and any beast properly inoculated should never swell at the root of the tail. Any farmer wishing to inoculate, I will be happy to perform for him gratis. — I am, &c, H. Kelly. Hamilton, 12th April.
