J T. CoL.uxsaU, JailuaryU. I 1i. My Dear Sir.-Without detaining yout wah an apology, for so long a delay in answering your favor of the 31st uIL, I proceed at once to the subject matter of your enquiries All cattle imported from Engmu. the North and the West, are very liable t be attacked by a fatal disease, which I take to be, an inflamia tion otthe brain. Young cattle, from eight months, to one year old, are less subject to it. than those more ad vanced in life. If they survive the stmmer and autumn. I consider them safe. alhough great carm should be taken ofthem the second season. Th shouId be brougft iote the Si.ate us earfy in t fall as possible. kept in good growing conditionthrough ti - winter. and ins the spri an be removed to a high healthy poaiaion. h.mve easy acces to pure water. and their pi-stUire as much shaded as the nature of' the :runllod will adint. In August ated] September they -should be kept in a cool stable. during -he hi-at 4f the day. and at night also. the dew tat that season, be;ig almost as. injurious, as the intense heat of the sun. With these precautions4. I think moie ihnn half would escape the diitawe. the first it'dica tion of which. is usually. a languid app.--ar:ime of the animal. followed by the lions ot ap.-ti.e, short quick breathing, with more or less fever, and not unftequently acconpanied by a cough. I h.ve bithert's consider.-d than disease. ahen once catablihed. itcurable. I Inutre recentily le.rut. however,. that by sawing of the horas. close to the htead. nine out of ten would recover. In two caoea on!y. have I known the remedy to be tried. and in bulh. the experiment was suc cessful. I shall be highly gratified if any of these eug gestions shall he tuseful to yon. or any of yiiur fricaids; and w inhing you entire success in your experiment. I amt, very respectfu!ly. and truly youts. W. IIAMPTON. J. TERRY. Esq. Fromt the Plough Boy. A't E?PIaSRiMT. .Vr.
