CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED IN
DISPOSITION OF DEAD ANIMALS

The bodies Of dead dogs and cats,
according to Danish specialists should
always be disposed Of In such way
as to insure their harmlessness, for
both animals are liable to the disease
Of trichinosis. Although the per cent
of those infected is relatively small.
great harm could result II the bodies
were left where other animals might
be contaminated.
Interesting statistics have recently
been issued by Danish periodical
with regard to the prevalence Of this
disease In dogs ana cats. It is stated
that Of 500 dogs and 100 cats exam
ined during period ranging over four
months, only 0.4 per cent Of the dogs
and per cent Of the cats were
affected with trichinosis.
The present Danish researches show
that the disease Is on the decline In
Denmark among these animals The
decline Is probably due to the inspeo-
ton Of pigs flesh for trfchfnosis. This
is assuming that dogs and cats are In
fected exclusively or mainly by the
flesh Of trichinous pigs. 1t is expected
that the disease will diminish stir
further in Danish dogs and cats If In
the future all pigs are submitted to
compulsory inspection

COTTON BOIL WORM IS NOT BOIL
WEEVIL. r..

In many cases the cotton bollworm
has been confused with boil weevil,
and several erroneous reports about
the occurrence of that pest In new
regions have thus become prevalent.
The Bollworm Is the larva of Q
moth. and Is only very distant1y re-
lated to the weevil, which belongs to
the large natural group OF beetles.
The worm when first Matched Is very
tiny, but grows rapidly. becoming
finally a little over an inch long, and
greenish or orownish in color. The
weevil grub Is white and found only
never exceeds one-half inch in length.
In the case Of the l-csent out
break the injury began SO late in the
season that little can be done to protect
the present crop. Nevertheless. a
farmer can insure the crop Of the
coming season against injury by the
pest with comparatively little trouble
and expense. The action that should
be taken wherever injury has occurred
this year is to pick the cotton as
quickly as possible and Immediately
thereafter to plow and harrow the
fields. This work will result in the
destruction Of the immature stages Of
the worm which have passed just be-
meath the surface Of the soil. In addi-
ton to the effect in destroying the
insect the blowing and narrowing Of
the fields win have very great value in
the way Of preparing for the crop Of
thu following season.

successful in dlsposing Of the surplus
fruit we must be sure the fruit Is
