tFrom Weekly Letter. United States De-
paFtmcnt 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 q 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 n carrier OF diseases to ami
mails only recently has 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.
or the diseases carried to stock 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 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" 1t
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. It occasionally happens also
that the dog helps fleas 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 DIRE 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 a bladder worm contain
ing numerous tapeworm heads. These
tapeworm heads develop into small
segmented tapeworns in the intestines
Of the dog. The tapeworins in turn
develop eggs which are passed out in
the excrement OF the dog. They are
spread broadcast on grass and in

drinking water where animals can
very well eat them and thus become
infected. The hog is particularly liable
to this disease because of its roofing
habits. The eggs may get into hu.
man food. and persons who allow
dogs to lick their hands and face also
run the risk Of getting the eggs Of the
tapeworm in their systems.
Prevention OH the farm consists in
SO restraining tho dog that he cannot
get at carrion or raw viscera. Viscera
should be boiled before being fed to
dogs and should never be thrown on
the fields. II 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 dog prop
erly has no right to keep one.
The parasite which causes gid in
sheep somewhat resembles the hyda
It'd 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
they eat. In the case OF sheep dogs
1t is important to administer vermi-
fuges 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, fieas 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
| comfort and happiness Of the dog. but
to prevent it from becoming q carrier
Of disagreeable and dangerous vermin.
These reasonable measures. impor-
| tant to the stock on the farm, have a
direct connection with the health of
the family. Where ringworm or other
skin diseases break out among the
| children, or the worm parasites deyel-
| op, 1t 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 II no one is infected
with disease, the folly OF allowing a
dog to remain dirty and have the free
dom of a home where personal clean.

LAZY ANCESTORS OF
OUR MODERN FOWLS
Industrious Hen Of Today Lays
900 Eggs in Year, Willie
Jungle Bird Laid Twelve.
By C. s. ANDERSON. Colorado3

By c. 8. ANDERSON. Colorado)
The Jungle fowl, from which all our
modern breeds Of chickens have orig
mated. laid from twelve to fifteen
eggs a year when In its wild and nat
ural state. With years Of selection.
we have succeeded in developing from
this low-producing fowl type of bird
the chief function of which is egg pro-
duction. Our present-day Leghorns,
and carefully selected fowls Of several
other breeds. lay close to 300 eggs an.
nually. and in the course Of q lifetime
more than thousand.
An average hen of the egg type
breeds will lay in a years time five
times her body weight in eggs. TAX.
ing the standard weight of eggs as "a
ounces per dozen, this means an egg
every three days during the year. To
accomplish this the hen must consume
nearly thirty times her body weight in
feed.
The hen also has a market value
when she is no longer an egg producer.
Comparing the total marketable prod.
ucts returned for 100 pounds of digest
ible matter consumed, the hen ranks
second only to the COW among all our
common farm animals.

Because mourning hats have a
lasting place in the scheme of things,
special fabrics are manufactured for
making them. Besides Grape, nuns
yelling and grenadine there are heav-
Ter silks that are used for the utility
hats OF mourning. Grape is often
used in the decoration Of these hats
of heavier silk. and since the process
OF waterproofing 1t has been discov-
cred its durability rivals that OF any
other silk.
Three mourning hats for street
wear are shown here. Dignified and
conservative shapes are chosen for
them, and they are made with ex-
quisite neatness and accuracy. Tucks
and folds and ornaments made of the
material are as characteristic Of these
hats as OF those made entirely of

the horses feet wear holes which are

In q number Of barns that have
come under my observation too little

other arrangements about the barn.
Instead. 1t is best to have them on

Butler had a bonded debt of something

Now is the time to think OF new
blouses and to make them ready for
spring and summer. Already the ad-
vance models for the coming season
are shown in variety SO great that it
bewilders the thrifty buyer who as
pires to making an early selection.
To go about this in the right way 1t is
necessary to classify each blouse &C
cording to its character, and that Is
determined by the use to which it is
to be put. The new offerings show
the shirt waist. the sport shirt. the
iemidress, and the dressy blouse. and
all of them developed in any one, or
two. of dozen materials.
Whatever the design, it may be de-
pended upon that the material is sheer
or light in weight if not transparent.
nearly always washable. whether cot
ton, linen, or silk, and that a combi-
nation of two fabrics is plentifully
shown in blouses as In dresses, among
the semidress and dressy models.
High necks and low necks are almost
equally in evidence. so that there is
a choice of styles, and many dressy
blouses and few shirt waists fasten
IN the back.
Two beautiful models for dressy
wear are shown in the picture. and
they are representative styles. The
blouse at the left is made of georg-
etle crepe in white and maize color.
and has q V-shaped neck with high
turnover collar and long sleeves. The
