CHAPTER V. 



Slings. 



Slings are useful appliances for restraint in the standing 

 posture. The stock is often supplanted by a good strong sling 

 in conjunction with some one of the several methods of re- 

 straining one or more legs. By means of the sling the animal's 

 body is supported. If the head is held properly it is impossible 

 for the animal to turn from side to side or to move either back- 

 ward or forward.
