    The old people say some diseases are caused in cattle by "overlooking' or by striking the animal with the rod of a boor-tree bush. A fine Kerry cow accidentally hit her foot against a bird cradle. Within the year she went to death's door. The "Cow Doctor" succeeded in tracing her disorder back to the boor-tree bird-trap. It is not known how he cured her. Blackleg in cattle can be cured with garlic and gunpowder.
