THE DOCTOR AND THE FARMER roll a cow
on her back and massage her abdomen to try to get
the fourth stomach to go back in place. With a rope
around the cow-s neck, back between her fore legs,
crossed over her back and drawn back between her
hind legs, the -cow can be thrown easily and without
fuss. A simple massage of her abdomen will usually
return the fourth stomach (the abomasum) to its
proper place. . L. F. Photo.

Mullen’s home about 8 a.m.
and the first sound I heard
was the ringing of the tele
phone From then until we
left at about S 30 the tele
phone kept up an almost con
tinual hanangue. The calls
were divided up in areas with
one doctor taking all the cases
in one direction from'the boro.
Our first stop was at the
