A TRQCHAR FOR CATTLE-MEN. 
In June of 1872 we gave illustrations of a Tro- 
char and Cannula to be used in ringing 
a bull, and on page 13 (January) and 
1 ||i| page 97 (March) of this Journal for 1873 
|j we described the use of this apparatus 
I in relieving hoven in cattle. These ar- 
1 tides have brought out a large demand' for 
II Trochars, and failing to find just the right 
1 kind among the makers of surgical imple- 
ments, we have induced an establishment 
to undertake their manufacture. We give 
herewith a small engraving of the Trochar. 
These articles are now in the trade, and 
may be had of most dealers in agricultural 
implements. Those who can not get them 
from dealers can receive them from this office, prepaid, 
for $1.00.
