The manipulations necessary for changing the position of the animal and turning it over require a long time. We have said that the means used for a forced recumbent position, no matter how carefully, may be followed by accidents. None is. positively safe. Still, accidents are less frequent with the perfected, operating tables than with the straw bed on the ground. Several other tables of American invention are also used to take the place of the Daviau; among them are those of Hodgson & Nagee, Tiffany,, Pierce, etc. (T.) RESTRAINT OF CATTLE. RESTRAINT OF THE STEER STANDING. Almost all operations are made with the animal standing. The horns: and the hind legs must be guarded Fig. 19.—Contention of a fore-limb. (Hess.) Z^^^f''-/i}iV>^ V I. Securing the head. Is it for a simple operation,^—examinationi of the eye, or of the mouth, for instance, — an assistant, standing om the left side of the animal, holds the left horn with his left hand, passes'the right between the horns and takes hold of the muzzle,, which ihe squeezes, with the thumb in o,ne nostril, the index. and middle finger in the other. Thus "the head can be held at will. Another method is that of fixing at the base of the horns- a. stout rope, successively twisted round the chest and the abdomen, and secured to the base of the tail. Thus the animal is prevented front lowering its head on account of the pain which it inflicts on itself in. attempting to do so. When the animal is hard to control, the head must be attached.
