HORNED CATTLE. 633 



Preternatural Position, No. i, as 

 above. No attempt to turn tlie calf (this por- 

 tion being favourable for extraftion) but ufe 

 expedition, for fear it be fuffocated. Prefs the 

 haunches back with the palm of the hand, take 

 hold of the bend of the hock of one leg, pull 

 at it, and reach the foot ; both feet may thus 

 be brought forth. — No 2. Reduce the head to 

 its proper fituation, between the fore-legs, 

 either by hold of the nofe, or jaw-bone. A 

 long arm is needful, which mufl be kept to the 

 full extent in the body, that inftant advantage 

 may be taken of every throe, the fingers being 

 properly fixed. — No. 3. Gently move the calf 

 back, and bring the head forth to the legs. — 

 No. 4. Pufli the calf back to find the head ; 

 pull at the nofe : this requires addrefs, but it is 

 ufelefs to employ force, until the head be in its 

 proper place. — No. 5, and 6. Pufh the calf 

 back againfl the flioulders and briflvct ; the feet 

 will be found folded under the belly, bring the 

 feet forward, one at a time, the hand being 

 gently placed on the bend of the knee. Should 

 the head be too much fwelled and bruifed, to 

 be returned, it mufh be fl<.inned and amputated. 

 Difleft in a ftraight line, from the poll to the 

 nofe, force the fldn back over the firft joint of 

 the neck, divide the head from the body, pufli- 

 insc the latter back to obtain hold of the knees. 

 The loofe fldn muft be previoufly wrapped 



over
