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. Mistakes Ahnut Ailments Of Animals DR. W. M. BURSON, Prof. Vet. Sc, Ga. State College Of Agr 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.
