- Miss Kate Molloy, St. Leonards, tells me that when she was a maid at Mr Leacy's of Yoletown Mills, she often saw the calves being treated to prevent Black Leg. This way:A silver needle was specially got and threaded with specially got tape at chemists. The calves ears were pierced with the needle and this tape was pulled through the hole and a piece left suspended from each ear. 'Stuff ' would be put on the hole and on the tape - she does not know what the 'stuff' was. The calves were then immunized for Black Leg.
