Let us figure a little on our horses and losses. 



I am confident one in e\ ery twenty head has to he cas- 

 trated annually or 774,907 in number, and that six per 

 cent (by the old ) methods die, entailing an annual loss of 

 over three million dollars, taking the value at $65.00 each, 

 as estimated in government statistics. I am sure by my 

 improved methods that one half of that loss can or would 

 be avoided annually and better methods adopted all over the 

 country, for all time to come. 



O. Suppose I buy your book and ropes and cannot do 

 good work. 



A. Anybody, anywhere, can get a visit from me, or 

 cue of my pupils, at his home by talking up a lot of such 

 work as he thinks he cannot do himself. When we do it he 

 will see it, and talk it, and help to work; then, if he cannot 

 he had better sell the book at cost and quit trying. 



Q. What do you sell besides the book? 



A. Everything required and shown in this book such 

 as I use and my pupils ask for. 



I have castrated and spayed stock almost all over this 

 country and know that most of the work is done poorly, by 

 men who never did know how to do good work. 



I know many men like Dr. Clock that don't know how", 

 and should not try, until they do know more in this line. I 

 know their work for I have to cut what they fail on; that 

 tells me what they don't know.
