The Method of Injection. — In injection of hog-cholera serum 

 the first important point is to properly secure and restrain the 

 animal. The manner of doing this will differ somewhat, according 

 to the size of the hog to be injected and the location where the 

 injection is to be given.

If pigs and small shoats are to be injected the best plan is to 

 simply catch the animal, and, grasping it between the knees, 

 hold it head downward. This brings the hind legs about the level 

 of the waist, and one leg can be securely held by each hand. 

 In starting to inject a number of shoats averaging 40 to 100 pounds 

 three or four assistants should be on hand. One man goes into the 

 shed or feed lot, catches the pigs, and hands them out to a 

 man on the outside. This assistant holds the shoat in the manner 

 described.
