very we'll eat them and thus become
infected The hog is particularly liable
to this disease because of its roofing
habits. The eggs may get into human
food, and persons who allow dogs to
lick their hands and face also run the
risk of getting the eggs Of the tape
worm in their systems.
Prevention on the farm consists in
so restraining the dog that he can not
let at carrion or raw yiscera. Viscera
should be boiled before being fed to
dogs and should never be thrown on
the fields. If not cooked and fed, Wis
cera and carcasses should be burned,
buried with lime, or SO disposed of as
not to be accessible to dogs. Proper
feeding of the dog is essential, and the
owner who does not feed a dog prop
erly has no right to keep one.
The parasites which causes gid in
sleep somewhat resembles the hydatid
worm. A dog allowed to eat the
brain of a giddy sheep may swallow
this parasite and later distribute the
eggs of the resulting tapeworm over
the pasture. Sheep while grazing
swallow the eggs with the grass which
the yeat. In the case Of sheep dogs it
IS important to administer vermifuges
often enough to keep them free of
these worms In the case of sheep
measles, the bladder worm in the
meat, typical of this disease, is swal'
lowed by the dog and again the tape
worm eggs are passed by the dog to
grass or water, and there are eaten by
sheep.
OF the external parasites which dogs
may carry to animals, fleas and the
various kinds o. ticks are both
troublesome and dangerous. The rem
edy is clear The owner must keep
lis dog clean, not merely for the COM
fcrt and happiness of the dog, but to
prevent it from becoming a carrier of
disagreeable and dangerous vermin.
These reasonable aemusres, import
ant to the stock on the farm, have a
direct connection with the health of
teh family. Where ringworm or other
skin diseases break out among the
cl ildren, or the worm parasites de-
velop, it is well to determine whether
a dirty or uncared for dog may not be
carrying infection on his skin or hair,
or be conveying disease from carrion
directly to the food and persons of his
friends. Even if no one is infected
with disease, the folly of allowing a
dog to remain dirty and have the
freedom of home where personal
cleanliness and hygiene are respected,
is apparent.

CARE SHOULD Be
TAKEN AS DOG IS
CARRIER Of BAD

| WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. THE
cog in the country is useful AMI
pleasant adjunct to the farm if he is
properly controlled and cared for, but
when neglected, may readily become
a carrier of disease to stock, in addi-
| ton to gaining opportunity to kill
sheep and destroy gardens and other
property. Dog ordinances, as a gen.
eral rule, have been intended chiefly
to curb the dogs power of doing harm
by attacking, biting, killing or running
sheep or stock. The part that he
plays as a. carrier of diseases to ami
mails only recently has been recogniz-
ed, according to the biologists of the
Department of Agriculture, who be-
lieve that when this is better under
stood, rural ordinances and laws
which lessen this danger will gain the
support of the community.
Of the diseases carried by dogs, the
foot-and-mouth disease is probably of
the greatest interest at this time. In
this case the dog acts as a mechanical
carrier of infection. The dog which
runs across an infected farm easily
may carry in the dirt on his feet the
virus of this most contagious of ami
NAL diseases to other farms and thus
spread the disease to the neighboring
herds In infected localities it is alb
solutely essential, therefore, to keep
all dogs chained and never to allow
them off the farm except on leash
There are, however, many other
maladies in the spread of which the
dog takes an active part In Bulletin
26O of the United States Department
Gf Agriculture, "The Dog as Carrier
Of Parasites and Disease" it is point
ed out that rabies, hydatid, ringworm
fayus, double-pored tapeworm, round
worm, and tongueworm are often con-
vcyed to human beings in this way. I:
occasionally happen1 also that the dog
helps feas and ticks in transmitting
bubonic plague or the deadly spotted
fever.
Hydatid disease is caused by the
presence in the liver, kidneys, brain
lungs, and other organs, of bladder
worm or larval tapeWorm. Bladder
worms are often as large as an orange
and may be larger. A dog which is
| allowed to feed on carrion or the raw
yiscara of slaughtered animals may
/ eat all or part of a bladder worm con-
| tanning numerous tapeworm heads
| These tapeworm heads develop into
small segmented tapeworms in the in
| testines of the dog. The tapeworms in
| turn develop eggs which are passed
out in the excrement of the dog. They
are spread broadcast on grass and ir
drinking water where animals can

Lamia Of Greek mythology, is half
serpent and half woman in her nature.
D'Annunzio insisted on Theda Bara
being cast for the leading role before
he would sign over the film rights to
William Fox and it is doubtful If any
where on earth an actress could be
found, except Thcda Bara, possessed
Of the febrile art and sinister beauty
requisite to portray THE DeviPe
Daughter"
Miss Bara's work in parts of this
type has become world-famous Her
striking and beautiful face has been
called the wickedest in the world"
In "The Devils Daughter" she por-
trays a character even more insinu-
atngly evil than in any Of her other
great successes.
Don't miss seeing this marvellous
French emotional actress at the Ma
jestic Tuesday and Wednesday. This
is perhaps the last picture Of this
particular type in which Miss Bara
will appear for some time as she has
stipulated in her latest contracts that
she is to appear in other roles than
wicked women-at least at intervals.

"The February issue of the Rural New Yorker, published in New York ,Fsays
 ''In trying to break away from cotton growing, the Southern farmers are in danger of rushing into speculative crops for which they are not fitted. Tn year like this truck crops or potatoes would be worse than cotton. Some of these farmers think they can get the seed dealers and fer tilizer'and commission men to finance them and take the crop in payment. Let them consider the present condition of the po- tato market. Any scheme great ly to enlarge the early planted Southern crop would mean ruin. The North is full of potatoes held in storage and they will be put on the market to compete with the Southern crop. If the latter is very heavy both new and old potatoes will suffer and ruinous prices will prevail. It will be a suicidal policy for cotton farmers to rush into potato grow ing this year Far better cut the cotton down half and raise grain and forage for stock".
 In the above there Is food for reflection. Our opinion has al- ways been, and we see no reason now for a change, that the farm CT should not put too much de pendence in a perishable crop. Any crop that has to be sold as soon as gathered Is a most risky proposition to 20 up against. If we had Cold-storage plants where our potatoes could be housed and kept 1t would be al- together different, but We have not

(By J. FULLER)
 Healthy sows that have been prop erly cared for during pregnancy Will have little difficulty at farrowing time. They should oe housed in proper quarters and up to farrowing time have their usual feed. Knowing the date the SOW was bred, the date she is due to farrow can be determined easily. The period of gestation for swine ranges from 112 to 116 days.
 As farrowing time approaches, the SOW should be put into clean, roomy pen in a hog house or into separate portable pen. When the udder of the SOW becomes distended and milk can be drawn from tho teats, she may be expected to farrow in about "A hours. She should be watched closely now tc see that Ter bowels are operating In the proper manner and that she may be comfortable. At this time slor ration is better than a dry feed.

Late Fires.

Last Sunday night at eleven O'clock, the residence cottage of J. M. Vernon, on Garrison Ave. nue, in the Western portion of the city, was totally destroyed by fire, together with all of it's contents. The fire broke out in the kitchen, and a strong wind from the north, rushed the flames over the main building, and when MT. Vernon and his mother awoke, they barely had time to save their lives, in escaping from the burning building. The ori- gin of the fire is unknown.
 At ) 80 O'clock, on Monday morning, Mir. J. B. Sanderlin's kitchen, on Hyatt Street, west part of town, caught fire from the flue, but fortunately the flames were extinguished, with out loss of the building. The ceiling and the roof were badly damaged.
 Again at s O'clock, the fire a. larm was given but this time, the cause of the alarm was a flue burning out at Mir. c. ". Por- ter's residence, on Hyatt Street, western portion of the city. No damage was done to the proper ty, in this instance.
