Spaying, the operation of castrating the females of 

 diflferent kinds of animals, as sows, heifers, mares, 

 &c. in order to prevent any future conception, 

 and promote their fattening. It is performed by 

 cutting them in the mid flank, on the left side, 

 with a sharp knife or lancet, in order to extirpate 

 or cut oflf the parts destined for conception, and 

 then stitching up the wound, anointing the part 

 with tar salve, keeping the animal warm for two 

 or three days. The usual way is to make the in- 

 cision in a sloping manner, two inches and a half 

 long, that the fore-finger may be put in towards 

 the back, to feel for the ovaries, which are two 

 kernels as big as acorns, one on each side of the 

 uterus, one of which being drawn to the wound, 

 the cord or string is cut, and thus both taken 

 out, 6162.
