be secured by a cord 

 with a funning noose 

 (Fig. 1085) before it is 

 pressed back to allow the 

 examination to be made. 

 Care must be taken in 

 adjusting the cord, and 

 in exerting traction by 

 means of it. We present 

 in the annexed illustra- 

 tions, a number of forms 

 of noose or halter, which 

 may be used to secure the 

 head. 



Fig. 1086 shows a form 

 of halter which can be 

 easily applied. It con- 

 sists of two loops, one for 

 the head and another for the nose, with a movable slide. By means 

 of this, considerable force can be applied when desirable. In Figs. 

 1087 and 1088 are also shoWn convenient forms of halter for this 

 operation. In the search for a missing member, the cow should 



stand with her head lower 

 than the hips, and if lying 

 down she should be placed 

 on the side on which the 

 leg appears. Do not at- 

 tempt to bring up the 

 limb during a pain. Force 

 should be applied to the 

 fetus only when the cow 

 strains. 



Some unnatural Spres- 

 entations offer so slight 

 a variation from the nor- 

 mal position, that the 

 necessary steps to be tak- 

 en will readily suggest 

 themselves. There ' are 

 several, however, in which 

 the aid of a surgeon is 

 needed, and, we give the 



Fio. 1087.— Halter.
