wicked people who have tried to put
things in the water to make folks sick"
"Whatever would they do that for2"
asked Tag.
"It's beyond me to understand it."
said Rowdy. "But still there have
been such people, and until they can
be found out, we have to be careful
and guard the water for the many,
many fine people. A few bad people
shouldn't hurt lots Of splendid people,
you know"
"What would they do to the waterT'
asked Tag.
"They might put something in 1t
which would make folks sick-not seri.
Ously sick, but annOyingly sick"
"What are we to do about it?" asked
Tag.
"When we see strengthening peo-
pie who are throwing things in the
water, when they know this water is
for drinking purposes, we are to bark
as loudly as we can, and II the people
seem to be doing any harm, we must
catch hold of their coat-tails and give
them a good dose of fright.
"But when we bark, the guards, who
are supposed to look after the drinking
water, come out and see what the peo-
pie are up to. But we save the time
Of the men who have many other
things to do.
They've said we made fine guards,
or patrols, and patrol dog is equal
to patrol guard or a policeman or
anyone who looks after the safety of
Others"
"What an honor, to belong to the
Dogs Patrol Guardr said Tag.
Il knew you'd feel that way about
It," said ROwdy. "It's nice to be able
to help a lot in the world. And we
don't have to work all the time. We
take turns. Just as though we worked
in offices and were through at five or
six o'clock at night. We have our
working hours, our eating hours, our
sleeping hours and our playing hours
"Fine," said Tag, ''and I'm glad IN
deed, they brought me here"
'You looked like nice dog when
saw you," said Rowdy.
So both dogs became very friendly,
and all of the forty dogs who guard,
ed this body of drinking water, known
rs an aqueduct, were as intelligent
as any people could be about their
work.
They saved time for others who
needed it for other purposes. and they
kept the water safe for the people, un.
til all the danger of foolish people
who had thought It was smart to make
others sick, was past. Aud every dos

FLEAS INJURIOUS TO FOWLS
stiektieht Variety Found in Many
Southern States Is of Importance
Few Other Types.

QTrom the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
Southern poultry raisers have an
additional poultry pest to combat
aside from lice and mites. 1t is the
sticktight flea, or Southern chicken
flea, which in many parts of the South
and Southwestern states is of great i'm
portance. 1t has been reported as In
furious to poultry as far north as Kan
sas. This form of flea attacks a num-
ber of different hosts including poultry,
dogs, cats, and some wild animals. Un-
like other species the adult feas re-
main, during the greater part of their
lives, attached to the host animal, It
has been stated. In the case of poul-
try infestation fleas are most common
on the heads of the hosts, where they
nre to be seen in groups or patches.
This habit of attacking In clusters
seems to be well marked, and an In
tested fowl often may be recognized
at a considerable distance by the dark
flea covered areas about the eyes, comb
and wattles. When the fleas are ex-
cessively abundant they may be found
in similar patches on the neck and va
rious parts of the body. The injury
is most marked in young chickens,
which when fairly heavily infested
often die quickly. Older fowls are
more resistant, but have been known
to succumb to very heavy lnfestatiOns; !;
