site and later distribute the
eggs of the resulting tapeworm
over the pasture. Sheep while
grazing swallow the eggs with
the grass which they eat. In
the case Of sheep dogs it is inn
portant to administer vermifuge
often enough to keep them free
of these worms. In the case of
sheep measles, the bladder worm
in the meat, typical of this dis
ease, is swallowed by the dog and
again the tapeworm 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 ami
imals, fleas and the various kinds
of ticks are both troublesome
and dangerous. The remedy is
clear. The owner must keep his
dog clean, not merely for the

dog, but to prevent it from be-

and dangerous vermin.

GIVE SOME ATTENTION
TO YOUR DOG
A Carrier of Disease to Stock
When Allowed Too Much
Freedom.

Bulletin U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.
Washington, D.. c., Dec. g.
The dog in the country is a use
full and pleasant adjunct to the
farm if he is properly controlled
and cared for, but when neg
lected, may readily become a
carrier of disease to stock, in
addition to gaining opportunity
to kill sheep and destroy gardens
and other property. Dog ordi-
nances, as a general 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
disease to animals only recently
has been recognized, according
to the biologists of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who be-
lieve that when this is better I'M
derstood, rural ordinances and
laws which lesson this danger
will gain the support Of the COM
munity.
Of the diseases carried to stock
by dogs, the foot-and-mouth dis
ease 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 animal dis
eases to other farms and thus
spread the disease to the neigh
boring herds. In infected local
tiles it is absolutely essential
therefore, to keep all dogs chain.

other maladies in the spread Of
which the dog takes an active
part. In Bulletin 260 of tn,

it is pointed out that rabies, ny
