. The successful stockman and manual of husbandry . Livestock; Veterinary medicine. 396 CATTI,Jt* Casting the Withers. This is the result of the worab failing to contract after calving. The womb is turned outside in and protrudes through the vagina and hangs from the vulva. The womb is easily distinguished from the protruding vagina by the presence over its surface of a large number of mushroom-like bodies, each two or three inches in diameter and attached by a narrow neck. The following illustration will enable this condition to be readily If the aversion is only partial or even complete, if taken before the womb be- comes gorged with blood or inflamed, it is often easily returned to its normal position. Place the cow so that she stands one foot higher behind than before. Strain- ing should be checked by pinching the cow's back. Take a sheet, and having it held by two men, sustain the everted womb and slowly raise it to the level of the vulva. Sponge clean with cold water, and finally it may be sponged over with laudanum or with a weak solution of car- bolic acid (i dram to t quart of water). The closed fist having been greased with vaseline may now be planted in the rounded part of the largest horn and. pushed so as to turn it back within itself and carry it on through the vagina, the other hand being used meanwhile to as- sist in pushing the different masses in succession within the lips of the vagina. If the straining cannot be stopped by pinching the back, it may be checked by giving two ounces of laudanum or one and one-half ounces of chloral hydrate. Fifteen to twenty minutes are usually sufficient to cause the return of the womb, provided straining is prevented by pinch- ing the back or otherwise. of the womb is the next point, and this is most easily accomplished by the means of a rope truss. Take two ropes one inch in diameter and eighteen feet long, and double each of them. Lay them so that one bend lies above the other about eight
