To get best result*, horses and mules should l>e fasied is to 24 hours Itefore treating, and both food and water should lie withheld 6m- 3 or I hour* following treatment It Is much more satlafaitory to confine horses to a relatively small space for 24 to 48 hours following treatment, so that any parasite* that are pased may be more easily collected and destroyed This is best done by burning the mat- rial, or spreading it on ground that Is to be f lopped It I* very essential that all horses and mule* on the farm be treated for bots at the same time If one or two animals are left they act a* a reservoir for parasites and carry the infestation over -from year to year h ha* been definitely proved that Imt files can be eliminated from a communi'y if all horses and mules In that cotnmun ity are treated regularly for bots over a two or three-year period The following advantages come from treating animal* for botsHorses and mule* will go through the winter In better shape and will require leg* feed Horses will be tn better shape to start the heavy spring work Mare* that are due t<> foal nt the spring will raise (tetter colt* There will lie less danger the following year from i and act idem* due to irritation caused 'y the bot fly There general Improvement in the health of the animal*, such a*

Indiana Farmer Finds Soil Improvement Pays | 8 * _ «**»»’** i z ** i v ' i HF h\ nif*A <«X / 7 mVeLZ SyM Mg V'A tsrc By msans of an interesting new soil building test, H. A Field, a Morgan county farmer, learned he could double hie output of winter wheat by increasing the amount of fertilizer used. Sketch above Illustrates how.

MARTINSVILLE IND-H w an I Indiana fanner proved he could more than double his winter wheat production by increasing the amount of fertilizer was zhown in a test conducted by H A. Field, a M organ county farmer, m cooperation with W J. Record, his County Agent. Beginning his test in the fail of 1938. Mr. Field used a complete fertilizer containing mtr-gen. pho*-phi-rus and potash The analysis was the equivalent of 2 12—6. “Before placing any seed wheat tn the drill. ’ said Mr Record in 3 making public the results, "he ■ sowed two parallel drill rows with fert.Uzer only -no iced> the length of his field at the rate of 100 pounds , per acre. He then sowed tw- tiwr, drill row* croaswise about the cen- 1 ter of the field at the same rate of application.
