Spaying, the operation‘of castré ating the females of different kinds of animals, as sows, heifers, mares, &c. in order to prevent any future conception, and promote their fattening. It is performed by cutting them in the mid flank, on the left side, with a sharp knife or lancet, in order to extirpate or cut off the parts destined for conception, and then stitching up the wound, anointing the part with tars alve, keeping the animal warm for two or three days. The usual way is to make the in- cision in a sloping manner, two inches anda half long, that the fore-finger may be put in towards the back, to feel for the ovaries, which are two kernels as big as acorns, one on each side of the uterus, one of which being drawn to the wound, the cord or string is cut, and thus both taken out, 6162.
