CONTENTS: 
A TROCHAR 
FOR 
Cattle-Men. 
In June of last year we 
gave illustrations of a Tro- 
char and Cannula lo he used 
in ringing a bull, and on 
page 13 (January) and page 
97 (March) of the current 
volume have described the 
use of tliis apparatus in re¬ 
lieving hoven in cattle. 
These articles have brought 
out a large demand for 
Trochars, and failing to find 
just the right kind among 
the makers of surgical im¬ 
plements, we have induced 
an establishment to under¬ 
take their manufacture. Wo 
give our engraving of last 
year with the Trochar modi¬ 
fied and improved as to the 
point. These articles are 
now in the trade, and may 
he had of most dealers in 
agricultural implemcn t s. 
Those who can not get them 
from dealers can receive 
them from this office, post¬ 
paid, for $1:00.
