partment Of Agriculture)
The dog in the country is a useful
and pleasant adjunct to the farm II he
is properly controlled and cared for.
but when neglected may readily be-
come carrier of disease to stock, in
addition to gaining opportunity to kill
sheep and destroy gardens and other
property. Dog ordinances, as a gem
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 mas been recog-
nized, according to the biologists of
the United States department of agri-
culture, who believe that when this is
better understood rural ordinances and
laws which lessen this danger will
gain the support of the community.
OF the diseases carried to stock by
dogs. the footand-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 infect
ed farm easily may carry in the dirt
on his feet the virus of this most con-
tagious of animal diseases to other
farms and thus spread the disease
to the neighboring herds. In infected
localities 1t is absolutely 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
260 of the department, THE Dog as
a Carrier of Parasites and Disease" II
is pointed out that rabies. hydatid
ringworm, favus, double-pored tape
worm, roundworm and tongue worm
are often conveyed to human beings In
this way. 1t occasionally happens also
that the dog helps fieas 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 a 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
viscera of slaughtered animals may eat
all or part of bladder worm contain
ing numerous tapeworm heads. These
tapeworm heads develop into small
segmented tapeworms in the intestines
of the dog. The tapeworms in tur-
develop eggs which are passed out In

STALLS FOR HORSES
II often Happens That Places
Where Animals Are Kept Are
Entirely Too Narrow.

A horse cannot talk and tell his
owner in the morning that he has
been uncomfortable during the night,

follow. Sometimes the stalls are bad

the horses feet wear holes which are

One of the greatest evils is having
stall too narrow. 1t may not have

dread of lying down on that account

for him. Again board or two may

In a number OF barns that have
come under my observation too little
care has been used as to the situa-
ton of the stalls. Quite often they
are placed on the north side of a
building owing to such position be-
ing handler or not interfering with
other arrangements about the barn.
Instead, 1t is best to have them on
the south side OF building or II on
the north side they should have a

sufficient size, the flooring should be

There are several pretty ways of
trimming the hair of little boys and
girls, and of managing that of larger
girls in way to take the best possi-
BILE care of 1t. But none of them is
quite so popular as the bobbed hair,
which is equally pleasing on boys or
girls that are little. or the braided
hair for larger girls. as shown here.
Those who trim the locks of the lit
tie ones make some variations IN the
bobbed haircut, to suit the individual.
Sometimes the bang is longer and
sometimes the hair at the sides. natu-
rally wavy or curly, is cut little long
er SO that it curves about the ears.
Occasionally side part suits the style
of the youngsters face particularly
well, in which case the hair is
trimmed and trained to this style for
either boy or girl.
On little girls from three to eight,
curls that hang almost to the shoul-
ders and fringe o ringlets about the
face make out SO good case for
themselves, on the score of becoming
ness, that they are always fashionable.

This was dangerous ground for him
and he knew it In the ardor OF young
manhood he had taken up the vicari-

his renunciation OF the things that
other men strove for seemed the light
est OF the many fetterings. But now

them-of a woman OF a much wider
