which the heifers are kept is light, warm, and
airy-a perfectly finished room, indeed, with
plastered walls and ceiling, and the stalls are
luilt with as great regard to comfort and neat
ness as those Of gentleman stable. Dry saw
dust is furnished for bedding, and the best hay
with meal mashes for food. Under the large
south window stands peculiar operating
table with top which folds down, two pro-
iecting arms then coming to the floor, as II
forming extra legs. The heifer selected is led
out placed alongside this table; and Its fore
feet secured by fastenings already attached TO
one arm, and its hind legs IN like manner 70

The fat ton of the table, and halter and neck
strap hold its head in place at one corner. Then
the whole top is tilted up to place and secured,
and the bovine martyr to science is recumbent
one side upon the top of the table. A portion
of it's abdomen, about the size OF two full grown
hands is then shaved clean, and the vaccine
virus from another heiter, at the seventh day
of the disease is inserted in little puncturcs ar
ranged in rows an inch apart each way

With the pliers he gently squeezes each pus-

inly collects it on the ivory points. From
good yielding animal several hundred points
can be charged. This done, the heifer returns
TO her stall and remains few days longer,
when the ''crusts,' having matured, are care
fully taken off and mounted in gutta percha for
The use of those physicians who prefer this

The operation is conducted with such care to
avoid unnecessary suffering or even inconvenl-
ence to the animal, that it frequently goes to
sleep on the table and does not evince any pain.
Two agents for the prevention Of cruelty to
animals recently visited the place, and after
seeing the whole process declared themselves
satisfied that no cruelty was inflicted. The
ivory points, after being charged and becoming
dry, are carefully placed, ten in bunch, and
wound with cotton fiber. Then white paper is
wrapped around them, and lastly rubber tissue,
which is tied at the end, producing, water
tight and alright package. These, then, are
packed in any desired quantity, and shipped to
fill orders.
