How to Throw Cattle.
• J A. Moseley," in the Americar Agriculturist, supplies the following simple yet effective plan for throwing cattle for surgical and other pur poses: — A sound half inch rope is secured at one e<d to the base of th< horns. A slipping noose must not b< used, but a knot tied at the extremity -tt'drtWfl into * loop alt th« place i
The next operation is to get the off hind foot into a largo loop of the rope, which is then drawn tight be--1 tween the hoof and the dew claws The operator now stands close to the near hip with the loose end of the rope firmly grasped in his light hand. , Seizing with the left hand the other part of the rope, he gently but firmly '. pulls the head towards him, at the • same time taking up the slack by holding all tight with the right hand . Soon the distance between the horns and heels will be so shortened that the animal will come down on its haunches, and then on its off side. All is held tight while it is necessary to hold the animal down to pick out any nails or snags from its feet, pare the hoofs, and anoint for hoofoil or any other purpose.
