To Hold Clinics
For Work Stock
In County Soon
Schedule Is Announced BY
County Agent Grouse;
Cooperation Asked

It was announced this week
that series of horse and mule
clinics are scheduled for Ashe
county from January 8 to Janu-
airy -, which will be conducted
by DR.. J. w. Willis, veterinarian
from Wilkesboro. in cooperation
with the Ashe county farm agent.
The purpose of these clinics is
to treat horses and mules for
bots, roundworms, and dental
work if needed and to give ad-
vice on feeding and manage
ment of workstock. Material for
treating cattle infested with OK
MARBLE or "grubs" will also be
available at the clinics, Roy H.
Grouse, county agent, explained.
The need for treating work
stock for bots is much greater
than most farmers realize &C.
cording to surveys made by the
county agents office and reports
on work stock clinics, which have
been held in the mountain coun-
ties during the past few years.
"A number of veterinarians prac-
ticing in this territory have sta
ted that practically all of our
horses and mules are infested
with bots and they should be
treated early in January. Sever
al horses have died from bots in
Ashe county during the past year
and many have been knocked
out of work due to the weakened
condition caused by these inter-
nal parasites" Agent Grouse said.
''The charges made by the vet
ierinarian at these clinics will be
very reasonable. This is being
made possible because large
numbers of horses and mules
will be assembled at central
points. The charge for bot or
worm treatment will be around
rs cents per head, floating teeth,
$100 per head" Mr.. Grouse de-,
lclared zv~pzx-,.,.
It was painted out that feed
and wafer should be withheld
from the animals to be treated for
at least Is hours. 2A'sA1s
The schedule for the clinics is
as follows:

SCHOOLS, MONDAY

A. B. Hurt, superintendent
Of schools, announced this
week that unless severe win
ter weather made roads i'm
paSsable that all schools of the
county would be opened on

While this is New Years
Day, no further holiday is be-
ing planned since most of the
schools have lost considerable
time, due to bad weather.
Some of the schools lost
more than a week, due to the
weather and conditions of the
reads, earlier i'm the month and
all observed a weeks holiday.
MIR. Hurt pointed out that
he was anxious not to lose any
further time unless the wealth
er made it necessary.

The world championship Masters
individual tournament reminded
me of a six-day bicycle race
I attended. went to the race two
or three times, but as the riders
were going around in circles, 1t was
hard to figure out who was ahead.
In the Masters individual tourna-
ment, each player plays with every
other player as partner and they,
too, seemed to go around in circles.
The players are inclined to try
to master mind every hand In this
event For example. here Is board
seven of the first session. One of
the countrys outstanding players
held the South hand. When his
partner bid a spade, which is an
absolute force over one diamond,
South decided that the hand could
not make game and passed. He
got an average score, however, be-
cause most of the pairs bid six
spades and failed to drop the queen
of spades. Only one pair bid six,
correctly guessed the queen OF
spades, and made it.

pressure is greatest. The doughnut
can be made in any size desired
from cotton and gauze bandage.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING
Taking a piece of absorbent cot
ton about 10 to 20 inches long,
6 or inches wide and to 6
inches thick. Wrap 1t around your
hand, overlapping the ends about
two inches, and holding them be-
tween the thumb and finger. Use
two-inch gauze bandage, or a
two-inch strip Of soft, clean white
cotton material to wrap the cot
ton. Begin wrapping at the point
where the ends of the cotton
overlap, putting the rolled band
age through the holes of the
doughnut and around the outside of
the ring. Each time the bandage
goes around make it overlap the
previous round by about one inch.
When the cotton has been COM
pletely covered, cut the bandage,
tuck the end under the last round,
and sew it in place with needle
and threat. When this is done you
should have q soft round cushion
with a hole in the middle, resem-
bling more or less remotely, a
doughnut of happier associations.
1t can be placed under the patient
at any point needed, so that the
sensitive bony prominence fits COM
fortably into the hole of the dough-
nut while the ring supports the
weight of the body.
1t may still be possible in some
places to buy rubber air cushions,
made in the shape of a doughnut,
that can be inflated. These are eX-
cellent to use under the hips but
are too large for such places as ell
bows and heels. For this reason
the cotton doughnut is much used,
even in the best equipped hospi-
tails.

ming peaches is the same as in use

Either slice or halve peaches.
Drop at once into gallon water
with 2 teaspoons salt and tea
spoons vinegar. Drain. This pre-
vents prepared fruit from turning
dark.
If fruit is juicy, add sugar
1-2 cup to each quart Of uncooked
peaches. Then heat to boiling
and pack in its own juice. For
less juicy fruit-drop into boiling
syrup. Heat fruit through, but
don't cook until soft,
To can with out sugar cook
fruit in its own juice, or add just
enough hot water to keep fruit
from sticking to pan. Meantime
heat clean jars and lids. Put hot
wet rubber ring on jar and pack
loosely, one at q time. Leave 1-2
inch head space.
Cover peaches with boiling Ii
quid, still leaving 1-2 inch head
apace. 1t usually takes about ga
to cup of liquid to each quart
jar. Work out air bubbles. Add
more liquid If NEEDED. Wipe rim
and ring with clean damp cloth
One sticky bit can keep the jar
from sealing alright. Put on glass
lid. Push long wire bail over lid
into groove. Leave the short wire
uH loose. Work fast and put
Jars into Gamer as soon as filled
When all jars are in, see that
water comes over tops. Put on
Gamer lid. When water boils
hard, count time, and process &c
minutes at sea level; longer al
higher attitudes. When times up
take out jars, quickly push the
short wire down to complete sea
of each jar. Protect your hands
With thick cloth. Set Jars out tc

or paper. Keep away from drafts
or sudden cold. Don't cover.
