nected with the heavy two-inch overhead &r "poll strap" (h) 

 by means of two 6-inch doubled and stitched straps (g). There 

 are two side rings into which the two side ropes or straps (e) 

 (f) are fastened. These side ropes or straps are fastened 

 securely to a post on each side of the head to prevent move- 

 ment of head from side to side. At bottom of nose band is a 

 ring (c) into which is attached the chain martingale (d). This 

 martingale is to fasten into a strong surcingle and prevent up- 

 ward motion of the head. The Lucas dental halter, when 

 properly adjusted, will effectually prevent the head from move- 

 ment to either side or upwards. 



Fehr's Dental Halter. 



Tehr's dental halter, Figure 26, is an effectual device for 

 holding the animal's head steady while performing minor sur- 

 gical operations about the 

 head, and dental work. It 

 is simple and light, con- 

 sisting of only four pieces. 

 The semi-circular metal 

 nose band is covered with 

 either rubber tubing or 

 leather. The covering is 

 held securely to the nose 

 band by metal clamps to 

 which are attached the 

 suitable rings for attach- 

 m.ent of the heavy over poll 

 strap and the side ropes or 

 straps which are to secure the head on each side to post or 

 sides of stall. All straps and ropes are adjustable. The appa- 

 ratus is readily cleaned, and on account of its lightness and 

 compactness may be easily transported.
