BY r. r. TAYNTON.

Early advent of spring already has
encouraged the growth of fleas. The
best way to control this nuisance is
to start early and to be persistent.
There are several methods of con-
troll, the least satisfactory of which
lis the bath method. A wet flea is
not a dead flee. AS he and the dog
get dry, both shake themselves, give
thanks for an unpleasant expert
ence survived, and go about their
business. So-called flea soaps may
asphyxiate few f1eas, which get
washed off the dog and down the
drain while in comatose condition,
but they do not get all the fleas.
A good flea powder, literally ap-
piled and rubbed well into the hide
is effective. However, the powder
must be applied often-at least once
week, and it must be left on the
dog, not brushed out. Flea powders
do not work instantaneously; they
must be left on to do their work.
The higher the percentage of
rotenone or derris root in a flea
powder, the more effective it is likely
to be. Do not use powders designed
for poultry-they are likely to be
far too caustic for dogs.
In order to keep the dog free from
fleas, his quarters have to be kept
clean, too. If his house or bed is
flea infested, spray them with kero-
sene and air thoroughly in the sun.
Give his yard, If he has one, good
spraying with kerosene, too. Paint
his house inside and out, remove
old bedding and clean up any old or
decaying lumber that may be about.
