RESTRAINT OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 



the cross bars prevent forward or backward movement. All parts 

 are well padded on inside. 



Figure 64 represents the rear and side view of the McKillip 

 stocks. It will be observed that the cross bar behind the horse 

 can be removed and the animal backed against the cross bar (s) 

 on outside of rear corner posts. This places the posterior parts 

 of the animal in an accessible position for examination and 

 operation. The last mentioned position is especially conve- 

 nient for all tail, rectal and vaginal operations. 



Figure 65 represents rear view of the McKillip stocks and 

 is self-explanatory. One advantage the McKillip stock has 

 over many others is that by removing the three cross bars an 

 animal may be led through the stock and back again, thereby 

 dispensing with the troublesome practice of "backing them" in.
