to fully satisfy all but rigdling castraters. I sell the second 

 Edition at $10 to all that want it at that price. But no or- 

 dinary castrator should try to alter No. 3, 4, or 5 ridglings, 

 for he will kill half of them. Experts should make it a 

 specialty, but be willing to insure them and pay for the 

 dead ones.

 with. The lidgling ropes are only to re-tie with after cast-

 should hold the left ridgling lope in his left hand, and when 

 all is ready, as per cut No 7, should say "pull;" he and

 his left hand, hard, then put it where it comes around the 

 hind leg, down to the ankle, and hold his left hand rope all

 rings on the back rope and fie^ the left hind foot from the 

 hopple. The two men pullers again take that rope, still 

 holding tightly on the back rope which is still on all the 

 other feet, while you adjust your big rope so as to let the left 

 hind foot back near the stifle. The head-holder should now 

 have the chin up and back, near point of the horse's should-

 on the under side of the collar, out forward. Now put your 

 left kiu-e under the leit hind leg halfway from foot to hock, 

 and bear it in to the horse, as in cut 8, about even with the 

 stifle; then put your long rope down on it at the ankle, and 

 once around; then draw tightly to fit the rope to the ankle 

 close; then take one-half hitch. Now put your rope over 

 the rump or loin, and under the thigh. Ask some man to
