To remove the ovaries, I first find them with my left 

 hand and shut my hand on the ovary while standing at 

 their backs. I then put my long curved spaying scissors, 



SPAYING SCISSORS 



16 inches long, points wide, and smooth and round, and 

 push the points downward, on my arm, to the ovary, for 

 perfect safety. Tie your scissors handles so you cannot 

 open the points over half an inch back; then no bowel can 

 slip in and get cut. as we work in the dark, inside, while 

 I hold the ovary in my left hand. Then in my hand I open 

 points of the scissors, and clip the ovary off while under my 

 flexed fingers, with no danger of nipping a bowel. I like 

 dull flesh scissors; next to the ecrasure, to crush off with, 

 and much more convenient internally. When both ovaries 



NEEDLE — SIX INCHES LONG 



are removed, with half-inch of the attachments and filopean 

 tubes, I sew up the skin only with this long needle, after 

 bathing the parts internally and externally with the anti- 

 sceptic solution, one part to two thousands, two tablets to 

 one pint of water. 



Vaginal spaying ot cows is the preferable way, but it is 

 seldom that our cattle is large enough, and it is rarely done.
