RID YOUR DOG OR
CAT OF FLEAS
By E. d. GRIFFIN
Formerly Extension Poultryman
Purdue University

Recently the Associated Press re-
leased a story telling about a dog
that harbored a million fleas on a
trip across the ocean. The heas
were being sent abroad for some
special laboratory work. They were
valuable and had to be properly
nourished EN- route, and it fell to the
lot of poor dog to look after these
fieas.
You may have seen dogs who had
a million fieas for no good reason
The flea is one of the common para
sites with which a dog has to con-
tend. Although common to many
dogs, there is no good excuse that a
dog owner can give for his faithful
pal and servant being "fiea-bitten.
Fleas can easily he eliminated.
In order to rid a dog of fieas, there
are two factors that must be given
attention. First, the 1eas on the
dog must be killed. and. second the
breeding places of the fieas must be
eliminated.
A dog should have an occasional
bath. Warm water and soap should

available. A good tar soap is quite
satisfactory also. After the dog is
clean, flea powder should be busted
into his hair. Talcumized sodium
hourine is an excellent flea powder
Removing the fleas from the dog
will not insure against fieas in the
future. The breeding places must
be given attention. Fleas may breed
in the dirt accumulated in the cracks
in the floor. Dirty rugs are an ex-
cellent flea hatchery. The dog house
may be a breeding place for fleas.
They normally do not reproduce on
the dog. This is the reason that feas
sometimes reappear with the best
of care to the dogs cleanliness.
Thoroughly clean up all places
where the dog spends considerable
time. Dirt must be removed. Next
thoroughly disinfect with a strong
Your dog should be
free from fieas with this second part
of the flea eradication program put
into effect.
Fleas bite. They live at the ex-
pense of the dog. They irritate and
cause the dog great discomfort. If
You love your dog, don't let him have
fleas when it is so easy to rid him of
these pests.

MILFORD MILFORD DELAWARE. FRIDAY

really a simple matter. Men delin-
quent in taxes were given the
chance to help make abode bricks,
haul materials and otherwise do
their bit in building the new city
hall. More than five hundred men
respOnded-and a fine building, re-
placing the one burned in 1929, is
the result.
Some ingenious juggling was nee
essary to finance the unemployed
men who we're eager to have their
tax bills struck off the list. Some
tax delinquent merchants. for ex-
ample, furnished them with food.
In one instance, the owner of a
store building owed a big tax bill.
the man who rented the store owed
his landlord six months rent, and
twenty laborers owed the store
keeper. Some arithmetical gymnas-
tics cleaned up all accounts-and
everyone involved in the transac-
ton was pleased.

side.
The dairy industry has, since 1926,
been developing its volume, as mea-
sured by the number of the produc-
ing cows within the U. S. A. boun-
daries, at a rather marked rate if
one considers the ability and willing
. ness of the various consumer to pay
decent price per pound, or quart,
of dairy products. In 1926, we had
within our boundaries approximately
22.3 millions milking cows; in 1881,
23.6 millions; in 1882. 24.5 millions;
and i'm 1888, 25.2 millions. Gosh.
On those same years, from 1926 to
1888, consumers income had gone
down, down, down, or from 1874 bill
lions in 1926 to only S billions in
1888, or less than "A per cent as
much in 1888 as compared to 1926.
The current year of 1884 has shown
some pick up" in consumer pur-
chasing power. but not in proportion
to the dairy COW increase-which
means that that increase means more
pounds of milk, butter and cheese,
in the face of lesser available and
willing dollars to buy them.
And what is that answer? Super
efficient production of the average
hundredweight of milk. pint of
cream. or pound of butter and cheese
at the lowest possible cost. And
that means ecOnOmicallv balanced

might be brought into better under
standing. He was christened by the
name of a great teacher of history,
he was ordained as a minister and
his feet we're shod with the prepara-
tion of the gospel of peace after the
World War.
It is of interest to hear him. who
had spent so great part of his life
among strange peoples of diverse
traditions and religions. say that he
had never found an irreligiOus man.
For religion is something far
greater than what is implied in an
attachment to the beliefs of any
sect" Creeds and doctrines are no
more than textbooks man-made to
help us but not to bind us in the
study of our relations with God and
our obligations to our fellow-men."
So did the man trained for the
church of a particular denomination
interpret his religion to the vide
world in which his life was bravely,
sympathetically and helpfully given.
