Prolific Disease Carriers.

One of the most serious indictments
against cats is found i'm the fact that they
are prolific carriers of disease. They are
charged with conveying typhoid. tubercu-
losis, smallpox. scarlet fever and diph
liberia, while one of the most common
causes of ringworm in children Is infec-
ton from handling cats.
a good word is said for the fox and
weasel and even the mink, though il is
admitted that occasionally a particularly
bloodthrsty mink will clean out a whole
chicken house in the course of A night.
But it is claimed that house cats do more
actual damage than all the wild animals
combined.
AS to the flesh eating birds. the report
says that there are only four five
families that do any damage worth keep
ing them in subsection for. The worst
offenders are the great horned owl. the
copper hawk and the sharp-Shinned
hawk These hawks are both small and
feed almost exclusively on small birds
and paultry.
