dairymen in order to use this
service. Your county agent re
ports that this service is avail
able to every farmer in Watauga
county even though he only has
one dairy cow.
Hon* And Mula Clinics
Ninety-two ? Watauga county
farmers had 157 horses and mules
examined and treated at work
stock clinics held during the past
week. Dr. John G. Martin, local
veterinarian, cooperated by ad
ministering the treatments for
bots and worms and doing the
dental*work.
Excellent response was obtain
ed in Upper Beaver Dam where
39 out of 45 horses in the com
munity received treatment A
large percentage of the farmers
have treated their horses for the
past three years with excellent
results. During the past summer
farmers report seeing very few
bot flies and as a result only a
small number of knits were
noticed on the horses. Also these
horses were keeping in better
shape with less feed than any
horses in the county. Any com
munity can get rid of bots by the
wholehearted cooperation of the
people as in Upper Beaver Dam,
since the bot fly travels only a
short distance during its lifetime.
