Handbook of meat inspection . undertaken by the SaxonCommission for Yeterinarv Service, the Cornea reflex of steers and bulls slaughteredaccordin- to Jewish methods did not cease until after 3^, 4 and 5 minutes. METHODS OF 8LAÜQHTER 141 (Fip;. 9), Altbough tbis method of tbrowing was devised by Geriiiiinveterinarians, it was first prescribed for slaugbter according to tboJewisb metbod in Russia at tbe instigation of tbe societies for tbej)reventiou of cruelty to auimals. Aniraals wbicb are tbrown by tbemetbod of casting lie down quietly upou tbe side and extend tbe legsin sncb a raanner tbat tbey roay be easily tied. In Stuttgart, tbe forraer numicipal veterinarian Sauer introducedan equally good metbod of tbrowing. Tbe aniraals are secured by asbort rope attacbed to tbe bead and brougbt tbrougb a ring wbicbis fastened to tbe floor. A sbort piece of rope, wbicb is furnisbedwitb a ring in tbe end, is attacbed to eacb metacarpus and one endof tbe casting rope is fastened to tbe bind leg above tbe boof. Tbe Fio.
