. Veterinary elements; a manual for agricultural students and stockmen. Veterinary medicine. The Common Farm Operations. 191 show any appreciable shrinkage in their milk; for the control of bulls this operation is indispensable. The operation is best performed during cool weather, so as to avoid flies, during the period from October until April; best results are obtained in yearling and two-year- old cattle. The instruments in general use are the clip- pers or saw; I pre-. fer the former as being handier, calling for less restraint of the animal, and if kept in good shape, well-oiled and sharp, do just as good work, only in a great deal less time. Bleeding from the op- eration is rarely ser- ious; in heavy milking cows it may sometimes need attention. DEHORNING CLIPPERS AND BULLDOG FORCEPS. Smear the hair at the base of the horn with vaseline and turn it back, then secure the animal to a strong post by means of a chain or rope, so that it can be quickly released; a stanchion might be used; insert the bulldog (a nose forcep) into the nose and draw the head around to the flank, the operator then applies the clipper over.
