Animal Pests
Most livestock is being placed
into their winter quarters, their
long hau coats will be getting
thicker to protect them from the
cold Now would be a good time
to tieat these animals for body
lice and for internal parasites
Both of these pests will reduce
the vitality of an animal and
cost the owner money Efficient
milk 01 meat production is a
must on every farm if any profit
is to be realized, this is hard to
do with parasite-infested ani
mals All farmers are urged to
get rid of both lice and stomach
worms before any more waste'of
feed and effort.
