RINGING BULLS. 



The animal should be placed in a stanchion, a rope placed around the neck or 

 horns and a loop around the nose ; then fasten the rope to one side, so as to keep 

 him from swinging his head from side to side. The operator then takes the 

 cattle trocar and passes it directly through the partition between the nostrils. The 

 bull ring should be dipped in Healing Oil, then passed through the opening and 

 joined in the usual manner. Sec Prescription No. S8, page 176.

 of a gray, crusty condition of the skin, which soon destroys the hair follicles, and 

 the hair falls out, leaving the skin in a dirty and scabby condition. 



Treatment. 



Give Cow Tonic internally, and wash off the affected parts with the Germ Killer 

 solution and apply Skin Ointment, thoroughly rubbing it in.

 oughly rubbed in. Continue this until the skin heals and all signs of itching or
