Veterinarians Needed
For Georgia Livestock
Industry Worth $100,000,000 Requires
Protection
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Geor
gia State College Of Agriculture
The aggregate of our live stock in
terests is not generally appreciated for
the animals now owned on Georgia
farms are easily worth $100,000,000.
In 1910 the state was credited in the
federal census with owning about $78,-
000,000 worth of live stock. Within a
period of six years, therefore, there
has been an increase in the value of
live stock of approximately $22,000,000,
and this in the face of the fact that
the shipment of a very considerable
number of mules to Europe on ac
count of the war conditions prevailing
there has tended to reduce not only
the number but the value of our ani
mals as well. At the present time
there are only about lit'ty licensed vet
erinarians practicing in the state of
Georgia. Most of these live in towns
and cities, and there are many farmers
in the state who are more than one
hundred miles from a competent vet
erinarian; and even if they could se
cure his services in time, it would he
at an almost prohibitive cost. It may
thus be said with propriety that farm
ers living out in t lie open country
would find it extremely difficult to se
cure tlie aid of a competent veterina
rian, and that this condition is not
likely to he remedied until provision is
made for the training of a very consid
erable number of men in the underly
ing principles of veterinary medicine.
That some provision for instruction
of this character should be made is
evidenced by the very considerable
number of applications received from
young men who desire to study veter
inary medicine. In view of this fact,
the trustees of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture have endeavored
to meet the situation by authorizing
tin* establishment of the lirst two
years of a degree course in veterinary
medicine. This will be open to any
young man in Georgia seventeen years
of ago and who is able to present four
teen units for entrance. It is the earn
est hope of the trustees that at the
end of two years through the aid of
the state they may be able to add
the junior work of training veterina
rians within the state who are ac
quainted with local conditions, in sym
pathy with the people living in the
open country, and who naturally be
lieve in Georgia and its future possi
bilities along live stock production.

WOLF TEETH BLIND TEETH!
Occasionally horses and mulcts aro
found to have small supernumerary
teeth just In front of the iirst molars
—jaw teeth. There is a popular su
perstition that these extra teeth ara
a cause of eye diseases and blindness.
There Is no foundation in fact for this
belief. There Is nothing to It. It is
ridiculous. The blood supply of the
teeth is entirely distinct, and sepa
rate from that of the eyes. There is
no direct connection between the
eyes and teeth as far as the nerves
are concerned. Asa matter of fact,
some horses and mules have seven
molar teeth Instead of the normal
number of six. The small “wolf
tooth” is simply the evidence that
there was a tendency toward the de
velopment in that particular animal
of an extra number of teeth. Such
extra teeth have absolutely no con
nection with the occurrence of eye
diseases.
Hooks! The horse needs three eye
lids in each eye and has them. All
animals not provided with fingers have
this extra structure in connection with
the eye. It is nature's method of
providing something for the removal
of foreign particles from the surface
of the eye. In nervous diseases the
third eyelid, is seen to pro
trude over the surface of the eye
to a varying extent. In eye troubles
it is also seen to cover a considerable
portion of the eye. If your horse Is
unusually nervous and exciteable,
somewhat stiff In the limbs and has
the “hooks,” you had better call your
veterinarian as the disease Is likely
"lockjaw.” lockjaw, of course, Is a
very dangerous disease and unless
treatment 1h prompt is apt to be fa
tal.
