til operation iscompleted. First step: The knife. Make incision, as shown in cutabove, six inches long, only through the skin. Now oil yourhand good and work into scrotum until you find the ring.This will bring you to the spermatic cord, to the abdominalwall. Most times index finger can be passed through thering into the abdomen; after passing one finger in, work —103— until you get second one in; then feel for the cord, whichnine out of ten you can find. Should you fail to reach thecord, oil arm good and pass in rectum; you can thus findtesticles, and push thiem down so can be clasped with the twofingers which have been passed in through the inguinal ring.Second step: After you have clasped the testicle pullsteady until you get it through the ring, then take an ecraseur,slip on testicle and cut off, as you would m simple castration.After you are through the operation, wash out good with milk-warm water, using bichloride tablets, making about 1 to 500strength.

SIMPLE CASTRATION. I mentioned in another lesson how to castrate horses, butthis method is the easiest and simplest of all. I geld themfrom eighteen seconds to two minutes, and you can do thesame thing. Kever throw your horse in doing simple castra-tion, as it is easy on the horse; also the operator. First step. If horse does not stand still, use one of Dr.Rutherford & Rutherford Co/s nose clamps and he will standperfectly still. Second step: Sterilize your instruments, which are two —104- in number—knife and Drs. Rutherford & Rutherford Co/sImproved Emasculator. Walk up to horse and eateh testiclein either hand; take knife, make long incision, letting tes-ticle drop out; let go one, take out other same way. Afteryou have let both out, take emasculator, place on cord abouttesticle and mash off. Be sure to let rough side of instru-ment go next to horse, as this is what prevents bleeding.Oil good with carbolized olive oil; turn loose, and all isright. Prescriptions No. 1. Fl
